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.

An Ecclesiastes Model for Change

Bryne and JR. are going through some big transitions. After they process the last couple of big episodes, they explore the nature of change. How do we change well?

Bryne, JR. and their guests choose instead to investigate the elephants, to let them draw us together rather than divide.
