Killers of the Flower Moon and Foe... Martin Scorsese and Garth Davis go head to head

Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Irishman) KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON is his latest crime drama to land on our screens, but it comes in at 3 and a half hours long, is it worth the long watch? And what can we learn about ourselves as we look into such a disturbing history?

Also, FOE is the latest from Lion director, Garth Davis. This unique film about artificial intelligence and marriage really got this duo talking

Dive in with Laura and Russ as they look at KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON and FOE through the lens of Faith.

We've got a lot of ground to cover!
