Is God Is film
I fell behind on Higher Learning episodes recently, but I'm curious -- have Van & Rach talked about the new film Is God Is? If so, can anyone point me to the episode? If not, hope they will watch and discuss soon!
Other than the trailer I saw once before The Drama last month and once on tv, I've not seen or heard anything organically without seeking it myself. Even with people in my circle -- so far, I'm only learning that they're familiar with it when I've brought it up myself.
I know there's some discourse online, but even a lot of the posts I've seen in the lead-up to release have been "anyone else going to see it?" and I was terribly disappointed (but not surprised) that it's not being shown in all theaters / has limited showtimes and hasn't had significant marketing.
I'm purposefully seeing it opening weekend because on my local theaters' sites, it's buried under listings for movies that have been out already for weeks to months to decades -- I can maybe understand being underneath Devil Wears Prada 2 and maybe the Billie Eilish doc, but below Project Hail Mary (came out two whole months ago) and anniversary showings of Shrek and Top Gun ... I thought the strong cast, the original play's critical success (Obie awards are highest honors for off-Broadway), and Sinners' success would give Is God Is its deserved marketing dollars, but seems not, so it's time to vote with my dollars!
