A Scottish priest spends six decades in China and never once bullies anyone into belief. Kathryn Laffrey and Alix Murray dig into The Keys of the Kingdom (1944) — Gregory Peck's first Oscar-nominated role — and the power of Golden Age faith on film.
Secrets of Movies and TV Shows
Ever find yourself watching a film or a series and sensing there's more happening beneath the obvious plot? That's the territory explored in Secrets of Movies and TV Shows. Each episode is a conversation that digs into the layers often missed on a first viewing-the symbolic imagery, the historical context tucked into a scene, or the philosophical questions a character's journey quietly asks. We're not just recapping plots; we're pulling on the threads of meaning woven into the stories we love. From cult classics to current streaming hits, this podcast from SQPN, Inc. serves as a guide to the richer narrative and artistic choices that shape our viewing experience. You'll hear discussions that connect cinematic techniques to emotional impact, or trace how a television show reflects the anxieties of its era. It’s for anyone who has ever paused a show to think a little longer about a line of dialogue or a particular shot. Tune in and discover how much more there is to find when you look beyond the screen.
