Writer and PCFM official Catholicism Correspondent Rob Rubsam is back for another Martin Scorsese examination of faith: 2016's SILENCE. We talk Jesuits, Japan, nuance, and our own religious baggage. Great, thoughtful ep - hope you enjoy!

OCEAN'S ELEVEN was a monster hit, and so naturally Steven Soderbergh made a sequel. An extremely normal sequel that didn't confuse or piss off almost everyone who saw it. We're getting silly today talking about OCEAN'S TWELVE - a very silly movie - with writer and film critic Rory Doherty! We're both sick right now so that's all the episode description you get, sorry! Good movie, good ep - check it out.

In 1998, Steven Soderbergh produced Gary Ross's PLEASANTVILLE, a visually inventive satire of nostalgia and small-town repression - and in 2025, we did a dang Patreon episode on it. We talk passion, desire, old TV, and the ongoing push for safe limits on production working hours following the death of camera operator Brent Hershman.

Watch Haskell Wexler's Who Needs Sleep?
