ReelTalk with Ken San Nicolas

The best pandemic-themed films to stream or purchase

As a special treat with the Lenten season now upon us, this week Ken, Jason and Uncle Kin tackle a topic often depicted in film – religion. From the morality of good vs. evil, characters finding salvation, and even portrayals of a higher power, we wanted to focus on it all. so we brought in someone with deep insight – our friend Major Tom Stambaugh, leader of Salvation Army Guam. He shares his thoughts on some of his favorite scenes and how faith weaves its way into storylines and reinforces beliefs. And there's A LOT you'd probably never guess. It's a discussion that's equally fascinating, deep and entertaining, so check it out and leave us your faves in comments. Here's some of Major Tom's fave scenes: Obsolete Man (Twilight Zone): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOYYCkVazBI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOYYCkVazBI) Lord of the Rings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YWIC9UZ5N4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YWIC9UZ5N4) Gravity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EThczHxvjKo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EThczHxvjKo) Ad Astra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e4-B1tL18o (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e4-B1tL18o)
