Tim and Jay talk with Dr. Scott Stiegemeyer (ethicist, pastor, professor, and co-host of The Blackest Eyes podcast) about George A. Romero's newly released 1973 film The Amusement Park. It is an anti-ageist film commissioned by the Lutheran Service Society of Western Pennysylvania, but rarely, if ever, seen until now. Aging, religion, churches, horror, and the surreal sense that we end where we begin--all of that and more in this episode.Some of the movies we mention in this episode: The Amusement Park, Night of the Living Dead, St. Maud, Midsommar.The Blackest Eyes PodcastTim wrote something about The Amusement Park here.
