SAMWISE GAMGEE & SIMON OF CYRENE – SA380

What happens when . . .

  • Ben, Steve, and Evan have a hard time getting together to record?
  • Ben’s been rewatching Lord of the Rings?
  • Ben’s been studying Simon of Cyrene?
  • Ben wants to get some episodes out?
  • Ben has a huge editing job with his and Evan’s THE BATMAN review and he’s been putting it off?

Well, what happens is that we get some weak connections . . . but ALSO, hopefully, some encouragement.

In this episode, Ben talks about friendship, taking up our cross, and carrying each other’s burdens . . . while also talking about movie memories with The Lord of the Rings.

    Well, I don’t think that was a weak connection atl! Very strong episode and message, Ben – thank you for it.

    If you are interested in looking at the Passion from the “side characters’” perspective, I commend Dr. Amy-Jill Levine’s new book, “Witnesses at the Cross” to you. She talks about Simon in her introduction, but most of the book is focused on the eyewitnesses to the Crucifixion.

    (And, yes, you said Via Dolorosa correctly!)

    Thanks again for a good episode!
