WT03.02 Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

Watching Theology March 21st, 2009

WT0302 CreatureIt's a tale as old as time. On this episode, WT turns it's careful gaze to the waters of the Amazon, watching Jack Arnold's Universal Monster classic Creature from the Black Lagoon. In those dark waters, we find an evolutionary story of Beauty and the Beast and a few bizarre love triangles. As an added bonus, that beastly Joe is joined by a beauty for a brief interview on gender, King Kong, and age appropriate viewing.[#3.02]

NOW AVAILABLE: Watching, a film book by Joe and Melissa Johnson

Good episode, Joe! Dug your daughter's input. That late-elementary school age is neat, 'cuz they're able to think at a higher level than little kids, but are still innocent childlike.

I saw this movie a few months ago, and never even thought about the elements of race in it. Your daughter is very perceptive. Great episode.

Hey guys. Always enjoyed your show, watching the directors. When I found out you were dropping it for this i was a little razzed as theology isn't nearly as fun as listening to two film fans jive on directors works. So I'm begging you please, even if you can only get around to one show a month, or every two weeks, or anything like that, please bring the directors back.
Hell, I'll even join you! The internet can do great things these days. I'd contribute just to see the REAL show back on. Couldn't find anywhere else to drop a line so I just decided to do it here.
