This week we have a couple of horror fans and a couple of non fans to talk about the latest film from A24, “Heretic” featuring Hugh Grant, charming as ever, but this time with a very different purpose and tone. Two missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints attempt to convert a reclusive Englishman, only to realize he is more than he seems.
Sister Leaheey and Sister Ayers are joined by two Elders from the Lamb Community, Howard Casner and James Wilson, as we explore theology, feminism, the gift of fear and assorted other topics that come up when you are threatened by a deranged would be shepherd.
You can just sit there and listen, or you can engage in some of the discussion yourself. ‘It’s A Simple Choice That Should Not Be Made Simply: Listen or Watch?” The video will be up soon and then you will have the choice, but if you can’t wait, the audio of the podcast is in the link below.
We hope you will come in and have some pie as we evaluate this suspense thriller/horror experiment that doubles as a freshman theology class.
