Recently, I had the privilege of discussing the theology of the Coen Brothers with one of my favorite film reviewers: Matt Zoller Seitz. You can read that here:
- O Coen Brothers, Where Art God? A Conversation Between Matt Zoller Seitz and Jeffrey Overstreet (Press Play, an indieWire blog)
And while we’re on the subject, it might be a good time to remind readers that I contribute, from time to time, reviews and feature articles to a variety of other journals (including, yes, The Other Journal!) that don’t end up archived on this blog. So, to prevent them from getting lost in the mists of time, here are some highlights from the past several years:
