!!! That is SUPER cool! Really glad you were able to experience that! The closes I have to this is when the Madoka Magica movie Rebellion came out and I was able to snag an early copy of their Collectors Bluray of the film which included an english subtitle track. I still have it, too! Just, you know, can't read any of the special edition doodads it came with lol

Are you quoting The Descent?

Literally true lol. Thanks to Munch, the Tommy Westphall canon starts to encroach on reality. And in multiple areas lol. The one I know of is Munch is in Arrested Development, and then S5 of Arrested Development Donald Trump is running for president. Which then connects our reality to Munch back down the line to Tommy Westphall lol

I totally ghosted that Netflix GDT show where he had one entry (I think the one that had Eric Andre in it?) but I plan on checking it out before his next film.

Although I haven't heard of that piece of literature, I don't necessarily think that, specifically in terms of being a Christian, that I need any film or adaption. Although obviously I have a passion for film (as seen by, like, having a podcast about it), I clearly enjoy film a lot. But, I think of Paul speaking in 1 Corinthians 8:8 where-in he's discussing foods that may offend (i.e. meat sacrificed to idols). He outright writes, "Food will not commend us to God. We are no worse off if we do not eat, and no better off if we do.". That is to say, food, which is of more important value to a person than movies, does not bring us closer to God if we are already in Christ. Thus, whether we eat or do not eat has no impact on our relationship with The Father. So, we can make decisions regarding the flexibility of our intake based on our evangelistic calling (the Great Commission). As such, I can comfortably say with movies (something far less valuable than food) is, again, something I do not need. I know that may not necessarily answer the purpose of your question, but I think it gives good insight into how I perceive the need or lack there of for adaptions and all materials. If it would be a good movie, then cool. I'll watch it. But, also, I don't need it. I'm indifferent.

I've actually never heard of either of these films before, as I haven't really explored a lot of early(er) film. A lot of what I've watched is more modern film. Post 2010s material. I have watched a decent amount of pre-2000s but that's usually horror and a few dramas I've sought out. But these two films absolutely interest me based on your description!

I think someone recommended we cover that on the podcast once! Maybe it'll make an appearance in the future...?
