#127 – John Wick: Chapter 2 and The Importance of Purpose

On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast:

Why are people elevating these movies about a revenge-seeking hitman so highly? Isn’t it just mindless entertainment? What sets it apart from other action/thriller franchises? We talk about all that while also taking time to appreciate the art of the action film.
