Summary

Guest Info/Bio:This week I welcome Cliff Young and Aaron Benward. Cliff started his career as a member of the band, Caedman’s Call and Aaron Benward began his career as part of the father/son duo Aaron Jeoffrey and later Blue County. Cliff and Aaron have been friends since childhood and were two of the producers on the new movie, Playing God. Playing God stars Michael McKean (Better Call Saul & Spinal Tap), Alan Tudyk (Rogue One, Deadpool 2, Doom Patrol, Resident Alien), and Luke Benward (Dumplin and Life of the Party). Playing God is a movie about a sibling con-artist team who recruit there long-time mentor to “play” God in order to scam a grieving billionaire. The film tackles the difficult subjects of grieving, forgiveness and grace in a fun, adventurous story of a small tie con film.

0:00.0	Let's make great art, let's tell great stories that create discussion, that create an opportunity for people of all faiths,
0:08.0	of opportunity for people of no faith, opportunity for everyone to go and see, and maybe just if we do our job, right, people of faith will see something in it, and people of no faith will see something in it.
0:20.6	And I got to tell you, man, in our testings, that's been 10 out of 10 what's happened.
0:38.3	Welcome. Welcome to the Deconstructionist A new type of People that I know
0:40.3	Welcome to the Deconstructionist podcast.
0:43.3	I'm your host John Williamson.

0:49.3	So those of you have been listening for a while, probably remember, you know, over the course of the last five plus years, you know, we've interviewed musicians and comedians and authors and scholars and all sorts of stuff.
1:00.8	But this is the first time I've ever spoken with anybody about a movie.

1:38.3	And it's a really cool movie.
1:40.3	It's not, and I think we talk about this in the episode as well.
1:45.4	It's not like one of those overtly Christian movies that we all kind of look at and we're like,
1:51.2	oh, you know, it's kind of cheesy or whatever.
1:53.3	This is a really cool movie and it's got some great actors in it.
1:57.0	I'm a huge fan of Alan Tudick, those of you who have seen, gosh, anything from Doom Patrol
