This episode features a movie that has ranked high on Gabi's list of favorites ever since its theatrical release: 'Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World' (2003), starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany along with an incredible supporting cast. Jessica brings fresh eyes to this 20-year-old film after watching it for the very first time! There's so much to say about this movie due to the richness of the plot and its fast pace that artfully weaves exposition into the action, so you learn a whole lot without having to be told a whole lot. We explore the themes of leadership that teeters on the brink of tyranny, how courage isn't defined by the absence of fear, and how a film with no female actors still manages to honor the importance of the feminine. Thanks for listening! We'd be so grateful if you could leave us a review wherever you listen to podcasts. Interested in connecting with Jessica or Gabi? Here's how!
