Ep. 2: Moral Imagination, The Hayes Code, and Jimmy Stewart w/ Dr. Onalee McGraw

100 Movies Every Catholic Should See

For our first guest on the show we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Onalee McGraw, a local expert in education and cinema whose work with the Educational Guidance Institute has aimed to combine her two passions to create a curriculum for kids based on classic cinema to teach about civic virtues. She's got a lot of hot takes and strong opinions when it comes to film and she was a delight to talk to! Check out her work at the following links: Blog Educational Guidance Institute "What Hollywood's Golden Age Offers Today's Cultural Meltdown" We put together a list of the films mentioned in the episode, linked right here.
