A much more subtle and arty Christian film than we are usually accustomed to watching for this podcast, it tells a New Testament story using whimsical imagery that can turn deeply haunted at a moment's notice. Grant Moninger of American Cinematheque and Beyond Fest introduces us to Parable by reminiscing about his terrifying experience seeing it in church as a young kid. He also delights us with his vivid stories of growing up in an ultra-rural Protestant community involving graveyards, pageants, petty rivalries, and learning why dogs go to hell.&amp;nbsp; Follow Grant on Twitter: https://twitter.com/GrantMoninger Listen to the American Cinematheque official podcast: https://americancinemathequeshow.libsyn.com/ View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock bonus episodes and invitations to monthly livestreams: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy Boys' Bible Study http://boysbiblestudy.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/16985057/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/16985057
