    Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie and Elliott explore films with a common thread. In this episode, they are joined by their friend and fellow educator Thomas Wishloff. They reflect on Thomas's Metro Cinema series Slowed Down Sundays and the four films in this year's curation. Along the way, they ask what it means to have faith in things, discuss a movie worth writing a master's thesis on, wish for cinema debrief spaces, and think about what lens to watch a film through. The films in Slowed Down Sundays 2024 are: Solaris (1972), A Brighter Summer Day (1991), I Do Not Care If We Go Down In History As Barbarians (2018), and Once Upon A Time In Anatolia (2018).
