Your Movie Rocks: Agora

Your Movie Rocks: Agora

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it.

In Episode 4, Mandy and Gavin McDowell have what might very well be the single nerdiest conversation in the history of Alternate Ending as they discuss the 2009 costume drama Agora, and spend even more time discussing the history of the early Christian church and schools of Greek philosophy, leading to some rather intense, inflamed passions about what does and does not make sense to include in a cinematic treatment of a bunch of ancient Alexandrines that 99.9% of the audience will never have heard of. Tune in to hear why Gavin selected a movie for Mandy about which he already knew her opinion, hear his pitch for a musical about the Council of Ephesus, and learn way, way more about 4th Century Egypt history and historiography than you would ever expect to learn from a movie podcast.
