One of the most exciting things about the idea of discussing Fascism in Cinema is how fluidly the ideas of authoritarianism have been adapted, and sometimes skewered, by filmmakers over the years. In the third episode of this series, we are looking at films that look at matters of faith, and how corrupted they can be by mankind. Since we are discussing religion, it would be wrong to have any other guest but return guest Stuart Delony from Snarky Faith<\/a>. Listen as we discuss the state of religion in both the US, and the world, through the lens of Carl Theodor Dreyer’s “The Passion of Joan of Arc”<\/i><\/a>, Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”<\/i><\/a>, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood”<\/i><\/a>. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n
