Todd and Ken are back for the last podcast of the year, and they are looking at John Michael McDonagh’s Calvary. The film was recently honored by the 2014 Arts & Faith Ecumenical Jury as one of the ten best of the year, so why are the hosts a bit cooler towards it?

The discussion examines issues such as corporate guilt and why no human character can ultimately be a satisfying “Christ” figure. Is the film an allegory? If so, of what? And does the film change its mind about whether or not Father James is an innocent victim?
