Bob and Brad, along with guest Bilge Ebiri, delve into Terrence Malick's masterpiece, The Tree of Life. They explore the film's themes of grace and law, the cosmic and domestic narratives, and the emotional resonance of childhood memories. The conversation touches on the artistic experience of watching the film, the impact of memory, and the search for meaning and God. The hosts reflect on their personal journeys with the film, its significance in film criticism, and the complexities of parental relationships, ultimately celebrating the film's high artistic ambition and emotional depth.
Then, they revisit Glenmorangie "The Original" 10-Year single malt scotch, which marked the hosts' first foray into the world of single malts back in season 1. As they revisit this classic, affordable scotch, they note its value and availability for beginner scotch drinkers.
