Glengarry Glen Ross and the Crisis of Manhood
In this Logos Theater 3000 episode, Matt and Bill discuss Glengarry Glen Ross as a gritty portrait of men trapped by ambition, fear, greed, and the pressure to prove themselves. They explore the film’s famous “always be closing” sales culture, its star-studded performances, and its bleak vision of success built on manipulation and performance. From there, they connect the movie to larger Christian themes: the fear of man, dishonest persuasion, false gospels of success, pastoral comparison, biblical business ethics, and Jesus’ warning about gaining the world while forfeiting the soul.
