    Romeo + Juliet

    Romeo + Juliet

    This time it's all about Baz Luhrmann! Let's go back to 1996 to revisit the teenage tragedy Romeo + Juliet. As inventive as it is shocking, join us as we discuss the history behind the movie. We analyse how Baz Luhrmann accomplished such a unique cinematic experience, ask why Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes work so well together, and dive into the real history behind Shakespeare's play and ask how it has endured for so long.

    Elvis (2022)

    Elvis (2022)

    Dust off your blue suede shoes, people. It’s time to talk about Elvis Presley! Anytime Blaire and Marie get to talk about a Baz Luhrmann movie is a good time on this pod, and this Baz-ified biopic of The King did not disappoint. Catherine Martin designed the costumes (we talked about her in our Moulin Rouge episode), which included over 9,000 background cast looks, and over 90 for Elvis (played by Austin Butler). Fun fact: Miuccia Prada was behind several of the costumes for Priscilla Presley and Elvis. Listen to us dive into Elvis’s real-life, ahead-of-his-time style, start a petition for more menz to wear lace shirts, and more, in this fun episode.

    Faithspotting "Elvis"

    Faithspotting "Elvis"

    Kenny and Mike discuss Elvis and spot faith elements and concepts reflected in the Baz Luhrmann biopic staring Ausin Butler as Elivs Presley and Tom Hanks as Col. Tom Parker.

    Faith Spotted: 

    The presentation and nature of temptation. Tom Parker as the serpent temptor knowing and preying on the vulnerabilities, fear, grief, and guilt) of Elvis and his parents.

    The guilt and fear of losing his twin brother was a life long gravitational force that impacted the rest of the Presley members lives.

    The importance of moving through mourning and grief, through spiritual disciplines and faith which opens one to experience the peace of God that passes our understanding as well as loss.  Philippians 4:7

    Live one's life and calling rather than the life and expectations of others.

    Do not be conformed to the ways, methods, and values of this world but transformed and a transforming force by the renewing of one's mind so that one may discern the desires and presence of God.   Romans 12:

    The calling of Christ to love and serve others, looking for their best interests rather than selfishly enabling and exploiting another for one's own benefit.

    Baz Luhrmann's Elvis - There's Only One King

    Baz Luhrmann's Elvis - There's Only One King

     Today, we are joined by a special guest, Lisa Bonnici, to review Elvis. From Austin Butler’s faithful performance, bringing the King back to life, to Tom Hank’s eerily apt portrayal of the ‘villain’, Colonel Tom Parker, the film boasts incredible acting and tasteful directorial choices. In this episode, we discuss the plot line, the effectiveness of Baz Luhrman’s ‘show, don’t tell’ editing style, as well as the iconic director’s ability to allow the emotional scenes to breathe.
