Madeleine Carroll joins Culture Tuesday to talk about her book written for young Catholics aged 10 and up — a guide designed not just to teach the Rosary, but to make it truly resonate.

This week on Culture Tuesday, Stephanie Peña and Helena Judd review Glenrothan, the directorial debut of Brian Cox set in the Scottish Highlands.The film follows two estranged brothers reunited after 40 years apart at their family whisky distillery, exploring themes of family conflict, regret and the long journey towards forgiveness. With echoes of the prodigal son, the story unfolds through grief, memory and the possibility of reconciliation.Stephanie and Helena reflect on the powerful performances, the emotional depth of the characters and the role of those around them who help open the path to healing. Set against the stunning landscape of Scotland, Glenrothan is both a visual tribute to place and a moving story of brokenness and hope.

On this week’s Culture Tuesday, Helena returns from Easter break with a heartfelt and thought-provoking review of the new science fiction film Project Hail Mary, starring Ryan Gosling.Blending personal reflection with Easter themes of resurrection, grace and renewal, Helena explores how the film’s story of an astronaut on a last-chance mission to save Earth unexpectedly echoes deep spiritual truths. From its central character Ryland Grace to its themes of sacrifice, friendship and hope in the face of isolation, she draws out surprising parallels with Catholic understandings of grace.Along the way, Helena reflects on key moments in the film, its emotional storytelling, striking visuals and moving depiction of the connection between worlds, including the astronaut’s unlikely friendship with an alien companion. She also considers how secular storytelling can still point towards deeper questions of meaning, love and salvation.With honesty, humour and plenty of enthusiasm, this episode offers a unique Catholic lens on a major new cinema release while inviting listeners to reflect on grace at work in unexpected places.
