Parkway Theater podcast bonus episode! The Parkway Podcast team reviews the American epic ‘The Revenant&apos; (2015).

The Parkway Podcast team jumps into the spring season with the religious parody ‘Monty Python’s The Life of Brian’ (1979). A different perspective on an age-old tale, the movie follows Brian of Nazareth as he is born in the stable next door to Jesus Christ and spends his life being mistaken for a messiah. Does the film’s irreverent style of humor hold up? Banned in certain countries, is it still as controversial when viewed with a modern lens? Could this movie even be made today? The team answers these questions and more in this episode as they look to the bright side of life.As always, get in touch with The Parkway Podcast by emailing us at parkwaytheaterpodcast@gmail.com or call and leave a voicemail at 612-217-2520.

Tune into this special Valentine’s Day episode of The Parkway Podcast as the team discusses the iconic romantic historical fiction film ‘Titanic’ (1997) directed by James Cameron. This monster of a movie (in more ways than one) tells you the tale of a seventeen-year-old aristocrat (played by 21-year-old Kate Winslet) as she falls in love with a kind but poor artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) aboard the luxurious, ill-fated R.M.S. Titanic (RIP). At the time, it was one of the most expensive films ever made and won many awards equivalent of that value. Would things have ended differently if Rose had stayed in her lifeboat? Would they have lived their lives together if Jack would have lived? Is the modern-day context with treasure hunting Bill Paxton really necessary? Can more than one person float on a large, ornate wooden door? These questions and more will be answered by the Parkway Podcast team.As always, get in touch with The Parkway Podcast by emailing us at parkwaytheaterpodcast@gmail.com or call and leave a voicemail at 612-217-2520.

This week The Parkway Podcast recaps the iconic &apos;80s film, ‘The Karate’ Kid&apos; (1984).
