Episode 58: Fred Rogers Special - Won't You Be My Neighbor?
Monday Oct 01, 2018

What was Fred Rogers most scandelous secret? The docudrama at the heart of today's podcast, Won't You Be My Neighbor?, delves into this provocative question and other details from Fred Rogers' life. (Apparently, the most scandelous thing he did was give a generation a sense of entitlement because he taught them that everyone was special!) We also take a trip down memory lane and recall some of our favorite episodes of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," of which many episode can be found streaming on Amazon Prime. The movie is now available for streaming and on Blu-Ray or DVD.

Seeing that the new horror film The Nun is in theaters, we decided NOT to review that movie. Insead we will look at some other movies about sisters of faith, including the 2017 film Noviciate and the comedy The Little Hours. Carrying on the theme in TV corner, we'll look at the British show "Call the Midwife" and the Netflix original "The Keepers." So come back next time, you'll have thing you'll want to talk about. We...will...too!

Season Greetings! We hope you are all well this Christmas Eve. This episode has been delayed not because of poor health of your hosts (which has happened in the past), but because of the failing health of the laptop used to produce this podcast. The issues seem to have been resolved, and so you get this present from Mike and Robert so you can listen to us express our opinions as you are on your way to various worship services and family get-togethers.

Hello, faithful listeners! This episode is coming to you on the eve of my (Robert's) very first short term mission trip, a week in Costa Rica spreading the good news of Jesus. While I am there, Mike and I hope you enjoy our discussion on Disney's Frozen and ABC's "Resurrection." When I get back I'll update this post with all of the links and cool stuff that came up during our talk. In the meantime, our next episode will be another double feature: Rapture-palooza and This is the End. We will come back at you in July with our thoughts on last summer's apocalyptic craziness. ¡Hasta luego!
UPDATE! Here are some of the links we talked about in this episode.
