My special guest was Bridget Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax fame. We talked about the 1955 Charles Laughton film The Night of the Hunter, highlighting what it says about religious hypocrisy and religious sincerity, the danger of unchecked authority, and God’s unique concern for the weak and “little things.”
