    TRAILER: Voiceover — Movies that Move Us
    2025/05/12
    What movies taught you about life? Showed you truths you didn’t know you needed to hear? Join Heather Bigley, a former academic and film teacher, and the host of Voiceover: Movies that Move Us—the podcast where films have an impact. Each episode, our guests share the cinematic moments that changed their lives. We want to learn from those silver screen experiences, and so we share those moments with you, looking at the films from a whole new perspective. With a Doctorate in Film Studies and a passion for storytelling, Heather brings a little history, a little philosophy, some behind-the-scenes know-how, and her whole life to the movies she watches. From Wild Strawberries to The Wiz, Terminator 2 to Tree of Life, we’re finding the films that moved us when we least expected it—golden age classics, recent blockbusters, and even the tiny indie film that barely anyone noticed. While Cosmo Brown might just want to Make ‘em Laugh, we’re interested in the films that make you cry, too. Movies that revealed something about ourselves. Mentored us when we needed mentorship. Maybe even illuminated the Divine. Join us for Voiceover: Movies that Move Us for cinematic epiphanies, reel recommends, and maybe some self-revelations. Don’t miss a moment. Subscribe to us now on BYUradio, or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Hidalgo

    Hidalgo
    2026/09/28
    What if Hidalgo was never really about winning the Ocean of Fire? In this film commentary, Heather and Cindy Quinney revisit the 2004 Viggo Mortensen movie to unpack Frank Hopkins’s Native identity, the Wounded Knee Massacre, the Ghost Dance, and the ending that still brings them to tears. This Hidalgo 2004 analysis explores the film’s horse symbolism, mixed-race identity, historical framing, and transformation from shame and isolation to community and purpose. We discuss why the desert journey matters, how the movie uses purity and belonging as metaphors, why the injured horse scene is so powerful, and what filmmakers should consider when portraying Indigenous history and culture. Cindy Quinney is the Executive Director of Gathering of Tribes, which works to meet the needs of Indigenous Latter-day Saints through producing media, organizing events, and serving communities. Cindy is an enrolled member of the Onion Lake Cree Nation. She lives in Calgary, Canada.

  • Catch Me if You Can: Searching for Fathers

    Catch Me if You Can: Searching for Fathers
    2026/09/21
    Catch Me If You Can looks like a slick con-artist movie, but its real emotional engine is a kid trying to rebuild the family he lost. This conversation unpacks why Carl Hanratty becomes the father Frank actually needs and why “Nobody’s chasing you” lands like the movie’s emotional gut punch. In this Catch Me If You Can analysis, Heather and Chris Lamb break down Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale Jr, Tom Hanks as Carl Hanratty, Christopher Walken as Frank Sr, and Steven Spielberg’s ability to hide a family drama inside a heist movie. The conversation also traces Leonardo DiCaprio’s career from Romeo + Juliet and Titanic through The Great Gatsby, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and One Battle After Another. Was Catch Me If You Can DiCaprio’s last “little boy” movie—and why does he so often play men who look like they belong while never quite fitting in? Chris Lamb is a high school math teacher in the Seattle area and an avid movie lover. When he's not in the classroom or out on a run, you'll usually find him at the local theater with a bucket of popcorn and a box of Hot Tamales, ready for the next film.

  • 10 Commandments: Moving Stained Glass

    10 Commandments: Moving Stained Glass
    2026/09/14
    What if The Ten Commandments isn't really the movie we remember it being? Seventy years later, Cecil B DeMille's biblical epic reveals something fascinating about old Hollywood, Technicolor, religious imagery, and the power of movies to feel genuinely sacred. In this conversation, Chloe Donaldson joins Heather to revisit The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner and Anne Baxter and explore why its theatrical performances, massive spectacle, rich Technicolor photography and Hollywood melodrama still have such unusual power. We also explore the idea of cinema as “moving stained glass” and why a movie theater can sometimes function almost like a sacred space. Along the way, we discuss why modern movies can look so washed out compared with old Hollywood, how animation changes the film's depiction of God, and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein and Catholic imagery. Whether you love classic movies, biblical epics, film analysis, Technicolor, Cecil B DeMille or the history of Hollywood, this is a different way of looking at one of the most famous religious films ever made.

  • Heroism & Resilience of 9/11: An Interview with Michael Gier

    Heroism & Resilience of 9/11: An Interview with Michael Gier
    2026/09/07
    What if the most important 9/11 stories are not the ones you already know? Michael Gier explains why his new 9/11 documentary looks beyond the attacks to the untold stories of heroism, resilience, service, and second chances that followed. In this Voiceover interview, Gier discusses The Heroism and Resiliency of 9/11, his nearly five-year filmmaking process, 35 hours of interviews, and the decision to use reenactments to tell stories connected to Flight 93, the World Trade Center, the 9/11 boatlift, and New York Says Thank You. Michael Gier focuses on stories of service, sacrifice, and resilience, whether in narrative or documentary filmmaking. He produced the award-winning documentaries Wounded Heroes and Healing the Heroes of 9/11.

  • Hit the Road: Exile & Goodbye

    Hit the Road: Exile & Goodbye
    2026/08/31
    A chaotic family sings, jokes, and bickers across Iran—but the trip is hiding a goodbye none of them can face. Hit the Road turns a familiar family road movie into a devastating story of exile, censorship, love, and the lies people tell to survive. In this film commentary conversation, photographer and artist Maya June Mansour joins Heather Bigley to unpack Panah Panahi’s Hit the Road, its connection to Jafar Panahi and Iranian cinema, and the way humor becomes a survival mechanism under oppression. You’ll learn how Hit the Road uses long shots, color, music, unanswered questions, and emotional contrast to transform a simple road trip movie into a universal story about separation and freedom. Subscribe to Voiceover for more conversations about the movies that stay with us long after the credits.

  • Dr. Strangelove

    Dr. Strangelove
    2026/08/24
    Dr Strangelove was supposed to make nuclear war look absurd. Decades later, one of its darkest inventions no longer looks like fiction. Nuclear disarmament activist Jim Thomas revisits Stanley Kubrick’s legendary Cold War satire and explains what the film got frighteningly right. From nuclear deterrence, mutual assured destruction, Golden Dome, the Doomsday Clock and the renewed nuclear arms race, this conversation explores why Dr Strangelove may be more relevant now than many viewers realize. Jim also reflects on Peter Sellers, George C Scott, Daniel Ellsberg, Hanford plutonium production and the silent theatrical performance that changed his life. Ultimately, Kubrick’s warning still matters to a generation that did not grow up under the shadow of the Cold War.
