INTERVIEW: Lost and Found in the Cathedral of Cinema
In which I chat with author Jeffrey Overstreet about his new book!
And Now For Something Completely Different, folks!
On a warm spring night, newly returned from my own Moonrise Kingdom weekend camping with my Scout troop and covered in spider bites, I invited my good friend, author and film critic Jeffrey Overstreet, to have a conversation and become my first official video guest here at in and out of weeks!
I’ve been friends with Jeffrey for almost two decades, and I invited him here to talk about his brand new book, Lost and Found in the Cathedral of Cinema — 11 years in the making and a fantastic personal journey of interactions with movies, stories and spiritual mystery. I highly recommend you read it, and join the unfolding conversation about art, films, faith, and everything in-between.
So sit back, watch and listen to us geek out — and don’t blink or you’ll miss some random visuals and movie posters illustrating the various films & artists we discuss.
Here are some links to other talks and websites mentioned in the video:
BEHIND THE MOON with Tim Grieving — Why Jeffrey Overstreet Loves Spielberg/Williams (2026)
How Shall We Tell Stories? - Jeffrey’s talk from International Arts Movement (2010)
…and of course, JeffreyOverstreet.com — the hub for all the things, including how to order his books.




Wow, fantastic interview. Faith and play...I am so excited to read this book.
