#110 – Kubo and the Two Strings and Redemptive Storytelling

On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast:

It seems like the films from Laika Studio fly under a lot of people’s radar, but also seem to be incredibly enjoyed by those who do see them (Coraline, Para Norman, The Boxtrolls).

We definitely have a lot of fun picking this one apart.
