Drew and I talk There Will Be Blood, Wake Up Dead Man, and Black Bag and what we see as a surprising trend in movies and culture - God as the plot twist.This podcast comes out of the latest article from The Embassy -We mention a few other movies that follow this trend, but forgot to mention Project Hail Mary, which has another surprising God conversation right in the middle. Our hero, Professor Ryland Grace (of all things), played by Ryan Gosling, asks the head of the project, Eva Stratt, if she believes in God. Stratt, depicted as hyper smart, hyper competent, and a fearless leader, answers, “it beats the alternative”. Well, there are better reasons, but that is still a surprising conversation right in the middle of a sci-fi movie.Thanks for listening!The Embassy is a reader-supported publication.
