#19: The Iron Giant

from Sunday Morning Matinee Hosted by Matt Gaventa & Adam Hearlson

How do we learn to stop worrying and love the bomb? This week Technicolor Jesus welcomes MT Davila, Associate Professor of Ethics at Andover Newton Theological School, to talk about Brad Bird's 1999 masterpiece, The Iron Giant. What does 1950's nuclear anxiety have to do with our work as ministry today? How does a sentient weapon learn to love? How does a boy help us learn to stop fearing the future and learn to practice compassion? So duck and cover because this week we are discussing what The Iron Giant might mean for your ministry. Intro: Intro: 20th Century Fox Fail - www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNrKAzHsp0g Outro: The Flaming Lips, Waitin' for Superman
