Anyone who teaches school knows that one way to connect with students is to talk movies with them. Lifeteen.com’s weekly Catholic Movie Reviews podcast is a great way to keep up with the latest screen triumphs and travesties. Host Greg Iwinski does an effective job of balancing cinematic critique with a Catholic moral and aesthetic perspective. His insights are pithy intelligent, and useful. Recent reviews include The Dark Knight, Hellboy II, Hancock, Wall-E, Get Smart, The Love Guru, and The Incredible Hulk.
At less than seven minutes an episode, this would be a great podcast to play to your students each week to jumpstart a discussion about living the Catholic lifestyle in today’s culture. I listen to it myself to help weed out the worthless from the worthwhile.
