One of a handful of times that Michial Farmer, David Grubbs, and Nathan Gilmour graced the same physical space and time.
Michial Farmer talks with David Grubbs and Nathan Gilmour about T.S. Eliot’s essay “The Idea of a Christian Society.” This episode comes to you live from the Culture, Criticism, and the Christian Mind conference at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa.
As part of the annual Christian Humanist Network Massive Crossover 2017 discussing the Universal Monster Movies, Michial went over and guested on The Sectarian Review.
Take a deep dive into the film’s story, background, and subtexts. Freud, Feminism, Class Struggle and more. Also, the team tackle questions about the film from listeners via Twitter. Plus, Danny makes an impassioned defense of the 2010 remake of the film.
As part of the annual Christian Humanist Network Massive Crossover 2017 discussing the Universal Monster Movies, I went over and guested on The Christian Feminist Podcast. So, if you just can’t get enough of me talking about 1940’s movies, here is another opportunity for you!
During the 101 Dalmatians I was bumbling around trying to remember the live action movie that was reviewed on the flagship website. I swung twice and missed before giving up. And to add insult to injury Treasure Island wasn’t even released in the 60’s which was the decade we were speaking of.
Over on the flagship’s website, Coyle Neal (of The City of Man fame) gives us an overly kind shoutout in his review of Treasure Island (The rare Disney movie that was live first and animated later, but we’ll get to that when we get to Treasure planet)
I thought I’d return the favor and direct readers here over to his review. Here’s a quick taste, but do go read the whole thing.
The plot is surprisingly involved for a movie only about ninety minutes long, and numerous themes run through the film. One of the most interesting of these is the idea that a part of coming of age is growing to understand the complexities of character. An aspect of transitioning from childhood into adulthood is realizing that human character is often a mix of good and evil. We are all of us both made in the Image of God andtainted in every part of ourselves by original sin.
If metamodernism or postmodernism met the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, and he demanded, “Who are you?” how would they answer? We may never know, but you’ll have a better imaginative guess after listening to this.
Postmodernism is a slippery concept, but you can desplippify it with this handy audio guide. Then you can decide for yourself how postmodern, modern, protopostmodern, or otherwise 1951’s Alice In Wonderland is.
During Fun and Fancy Free, I mentioned that I learned about Robert Louis Stevenson’s Virginibus Puerisque, through a link from Alan Jacobs. Here is a thoughtful episode on one of Alan Jacob’s essays.
If Michial piqued your interest in Marx and his use of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, then Coyle and Ed can guide you further into the political ideology of Marxism and the man behind the thoughts.

During the Pinocchio episode, I mentioned that my children watch a lot of My Little Pony. Here’s a good introduction for the unfamiliar.
Michial mentioned during our Snow White episode that listeners of the Christian Humanist will recall that he is not a Tolkien fan. Well, if you didn’t recall that – here’s the episode you need to get up to speed.
Michial Farmer’s other podcast discusses Robin Hood, including the 1973 Disney Animated version.
During the Snow White episode, I mentioned that the pacing reminded me of Japanese animation. Hayao Miyazaki is the Japanese animator Par Excellence.
