This episode, we look to the "Old Man," Francis Ford Coppola – and his outlier: Jack (1996). We also take a first look, by way of his progeny (Sofia), at the epic, incredible, and wildly creative/productive year for movies: 1999. 2025-03-0341 minFaith in FocusWait...Who Directed This? ∞ Stanley Kubrick Wrestlemania (feat. Derrick Weston)This year, Faith in Focus is asking, "Wait...who directed this?" We're looking at directors and their outlier films – and, in this case, there's a fight!

This episode we consider Spike Lee's inventive 2013 reinterpretation of Park Chan-wook's brutal, brilliant Oldboy (2003) – how remakes rarely measure up, the old, old story of revenge, and what a person of faith might discover within this violent story. 2024-09-1435 min
