The StoryMen welcome back our friend Rabbi Eliyahu Fink to discuss Ridley Scott's new super-sized blockbuster EXODUS: GODS AND KINGS. Since we were all pretty underwhelmed by the star-studded epic, we talk about what was missing, and why NOAH was oh so much better. As Eli says, "This episode is much more entertaining than the movie!" It's also about an hour shorter!
