You Shush Your Face: How to Lose Friends and Ruin a Movie

One has beer, the other has popcorn. One aims at stimulation, the other makes you soporific. One has bleachers, the other padded seats. One calls forth engagement, the other demands silence. One rolls out the carpet for the spectator, the other screams "only auditors welcome here!" Knowing the difference between the two will lead you to love or hate your neighbor.

In this episode, Chris and Kyle do a phenomenology of public entertainment establishments. A Christian will make different moves watching a high school football game than viewing a blockbuster at the cinema. She'll sit for a lecture in the auditorium differently than she'll listen to a symphony in the concert hall. She even knows how to watch a family movie in her musty basement.

Welcome to another episode of Two Pour Spirits.

Two Pour Spirits is a podcast of Project : Neighbor. Project : Neighbor is a theological think tank and spiritual training ground for the Church and the common good. We think theologically about everything from soil to sky, and disciple believers from crib to casket. We draw widely from the catholic Christian tradition, are ecumenically-oriented, and practically-minded.

Project : Neighbor is co-directed by Kyle David Bennett and Christopher Cimorelli
