Book of Life (feat. Krizabeth Landaverde)

Episode 3: Book of Life (feat. Krizabeth Landaverde)

 

Cullen, Hannah, and special guest Krizabeth talk about The Book of Life (2014) starring latino actors Diego Luna, Zoe Saldana, and Channing Tatum (JK he’s white). Cullen dives into the combination Catholic and folk traditions behind the history of Día de los Muertos. We explore the rich but complex lore of this original IP that pulls from many diverse stories from around the world. Listen to us chat about the onion-like layers of the film, what the real theme of this movie is, and the beef between Cullen and Pope Francis.
