Welcome back to our VIP video series "Off the Beaten Path," featuring my friend Christian Toto of Hollywood in Toto! Christian and I start off our week by discussing stories and ideas that may fly under our radar, in culture, politics, sports, and more. Plus, Christian previews his latest podcast at HiT.
Mel Gibson is getting ready for the long-awaited sequel to The Passion of the Christ, and it comes at a perfect moment. Will the combination of this new film and the recent conclave convince Hollywood to put more investment in faith-based films? Will it incentivize them to recognize the role of faith in other films? You'd have to have some faith to believe in Gibson's other new project. We talk about the golden era of 1970s cinema, and why Charley Varrick is a must-see -- and a nod to the recently departed Joe Don Baker. We also discuss the ways in which modern cinema makes it much more difficult to get good performances, and wonder how long Hollywood will regurgitate the same stories in what are animated features in all but name.
Watch it all and join us in the comments!
