Starting Friday night, the phrase that most of us started hearing was some variation of “it blew my mind.” When Inception hit the theaters, moviegoers were stunned by both the complexity and reality-shifting perspective of the film, and many reported leaving the theater in a haze. But Inception is actually just one film in a long line of films that seek to discuss the nature of reality and perception, a postmodern artistic staple that often serves to undermine basic faith propositions. But could be there be something helpful about these films? Aren’t these films really just the same basic thing over and over again, or do they all have something a bit different to say to us about our society and culture? We discuss these questions on today’s podcast. Plus, we bring back the top 5 and share our top 5 Mind-Blowing pop culture items!
