Episode 50.2: Noah (Part 2) – Spoilers As promised, here’s the Spoilers section of our Noah discussion. Yeah, it’s long, but there’s just SO MUCH to talk about with this film!

Episode 50: Noah (Pt. 1) We’re back with our 50th episode of the Film Parley. This episode we focus on Darren Aronofsky’s somewhat controversial biblical epic ‘Noah.’ (Note: the discussion ran so long, we’re putting the Spoilers section in a separate podcast.) In addition to our featured film, we revisit ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’ briefly and chat about an upcoming biography on Stefan Zweig, upon whom ‘Budapest’ was based and we discuss a possible Indiana Jones reboot. Those topics, plus other movie related tidbits, on this 50th episode of the Film Parley. Enjoy!

We also talk about why we’ve been on hiatus, and some changes we’ve decided to make to the show.
