Message: “Israel, Gaza and Just War”

Bryne and JR. return from busy summers to dive into the conflict between Israel and Gaza. We explore the history of the region, what’s at stake for both sides and land on a discussion of Just War. Is violence ever morally permissible? Is Pacifism an effective, realistic alternative to violence? How can we become peacemakers?

The Problem with the Virtuous Hero

The Problem with the Virtuous Hero

Bryne and JR. recap some of our favorite films of a very good year, then dive into a couple that signal a shift in how we are telling stories as a culture. The Big Short, Sicario and Netflix' Making a Murderer demonstrate an important shift away from the traditional virtue narrative Americans like so much toward more complicated, complex and honest storytelling. We evaluate this shift, and why we are so excited for it.

From Series: "Origami Elephants Season 2"

Bryne and JR. are back with more guests, more movies and more hard-hitting exploration of those elephants.
