We’re Watching Here

Chris and Perry are back, and talking films both intimate (Olivia Wilde's The Invite) and epic (The Odyssey). 
 

Chris and Perry talk about Steven Spielberg's latest, Disclosure Day, and continue their David Lynch retrospective with 2001's Mulholland Drive. 

From Chris Williams, half of the brains of "We're Watching Here," comes a new series available only on his Substack (after this episode), interviewing people about faith, art, cinema and more. The first interview is with Jeffrey Overstreet, a film reviewer, author and professor. Jeffrey wrote the book Through a Screen Darkly, which explores faith and cinema. His newest book, Lost and Found in the Cathedral of Cinema expands on those themes, tracing his life through the films that formed him.
