6.9 Movie Night

Settle in for Movie Night! Aaron and Eric each picked movies that they argued had LDS or interesting religious themes. Do you agree or have other picks? Let us know on discord! Link to our Face in Hat discord server! YouTube channel! Thanks Eric! Dialogue Podcast Network The Religious Affiliation of Director George Lucas But hey, there is an LDS connection to George Lucas! From the article: “Lucas eventually came to state that his religion was "Buddhist Methodist." Gary Kurtz, a Latter-day Saint who had studied Comparative Religion extensively in college and on his own, was pivotal in introducing Lucas to Eastern religions (particularly Buddhism) and Native American religion, and discussing with Lucas how best to improve "Star Wars" by giving it a believable but sufficiently universal religious underpinning. Kurtz was the producer of "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" and also did some work on the "Star Wars" screenplay.” Linked to from his wiki: Contact (1997 American film) Hercules (1997 film) Eastern Orthodox and Divinization Relevant older Face in Hat episode, “5.2 Divinization and Deity”: The Tree of Life (film) “Rituals themselves are actually very boring.
