Stand by your beliefs, hold strong and carry on! This week, the guys break down the Oscar-winning A Man for All Seasons detailing Thomas More's refusal to approve of Henry VIII's divorce and the repercussions that follow that. They break down the brief but powerful performances from Robert Shaw and Orson Welles, talk about why evangelical Christians (and the Vatican!) love this movie so much, they debate the merits of the cinematography, they discuss why the film works so well but could very easily fail with one false move... and more!
 
The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
