For Now We See

We're back... again! After another extended hiatus, Rhys and George are back to the cinema and back to theologically informed pub chat. We caught The Banshees of Inisherin, the latest from In Bruges director Martin McDonagh. It's a dark comedy which throws up big questions: how should we spend our time before we die? What's the place of great art in life? Is there a difference between "niceness" and love?Timestamps00:00-05:12 - Intro05:26-end - The Banshees of Inisherin

Another biggy that we missed: Spider-Man: No Way Home. Already one of the highest grossing movies of all time, we give our verdict, and talk about why Hollywood is so obsessed with franchises, and whether it's a good thing to want to "heal" all our villains.Timestamps00:00-07:37 - Intro and general MCU overview07:41-end - Spider-Man: No Way Home review

After that we discuss The Mauritanian and how it demonstrates humanity's shared sense of justice. Finally, we talk about how Minari uses Christian imagery, and showcases a surprisingly traditional view of family life.Timstamps00:00-08:51 - Intro and News09:05-26:50 - Palm Springs27:04-40:32 - The Mauritanian40:47-end - Minari

This week, in the news we go over the Golden Globes, then talk Spider-Man and Bond.Then we review Capone (Netflix) - one of the most spectacularly terrible films we've seen in a long time.We then have a much better conversation about a new documentary, A Glitch in the Matrix, which is all about "simulation theory" and whether or not we're living in a computer generated dream. We discuss the history of this idea, how it replays ancient heresies, and how the church should respons to conspiracy theorists.Shownotes"His pastors tried to steer him away from social media rage.

News this week is (surprise surprise) delays, with some upcoming releases.Then, we review Wonder Woman 1984 , wondering if upbeat superhero movies have a place in a post-MCU world. We also discuss the film as a Trumpian parable, and return again to the idea of the "strong female character."We also review Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Netflix), Chadwick Boseman's final performance. We talk about racial injustice, the black church, and why the church needs to sing the blues.Timestamps00:00-09:28 - Intro and News09:42-43:22 - Wonder Woman 198443:36-end - Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

After some quick news chat about delays and rumours, we get into Season 2 of The Mandlorian (Disney+).Picking up the threads from our episode on Season 1, we talk about fatherhood, whether or not Mando is a religious conservative, and why Star Wars just can't escape the perfect myth it told in the original trilogy.Timestamps00:00-12:08 - news12:23-end - The Mandalorian (Season 2)

Happy New Year! We start by talking about what we watched over Christmas, before highlighting our best films of 2020 and a little bit of news.Then we review Black Narcissus, the BBC's latest spooky Betwixtmas three-part drama.

It's been a while, but we're BACK with a CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!We review November's film news, which included the demises of Sean Connery, Johnny Depp's career, and possibly cinema as we know it as all Warner Bros movies will now be streamed at the same time they're in the cinema.Then we review Noelle (Disney+, starring Anna Kendrick), talking about total depravity, gender roles, and tradition.After, we review The Christmas Chronicles 2 (Netflix) in which Kurt Russell is the best film Santa ever, in part because he is the actual Bishop St. Nicholas. But then we get surprisingly angry about people trying to find transcendence whilst singing "O Christmas Tree", which is obviosuly no-one's favourite carol.TimestampsIntro and News - 00:00-15:46Noelle - 16:01-33:14The Christmas Chronicles 2 - 33:27-end

This week is a special multiverse mashup! We've crossed over with Popcorn Parenting (James Cary and Nate Morgan Locke) - another Christian podcast which talks about kids and family movies.Kids films and crossovers mean we had to go back to 2018 to review Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. What do we do when heroes disappoint us? Do superhero movies turn kids into narcissists? Does the rise of multiverses tell us something about current attitudes to truth?

This week we open the mailbag and read some listener emails, before sharing our thoughts on Christians and Halloween movies.We review Saint Maud (in cinemas - go see it!) - a horror-cum-drama movie about a devout but troubled young nurse. We discuss how the film relates religion to mental health, loneliness, and even evangelism.Then, it's The Trial of the Chicago 7 (Netflix), directed by Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing, The Social Network). Based on a true story, it got us talking about free speech, justice, and different groups uniting in a common cause.Timestamps00:00-22:00 - Intro, Mailbag, and Halloween Movies Discussion22:19-46:18 - Saint Maud46:32-end - The Trial of the Chicago 7Shownotes"Halloween: Its Creation and Recreation" by Steven Wedgeworth

We discuss the increasing influence of China in Hollywood, the "strong female protagonist", and why certain outlets reviewed it so well.Afterwards, we give a spoiler-free pitch for Netflix's I'm Thinking of Ending Things. It's not everyone's cup of tea, but is a fascinating exploration of time and the stories we tell about ourselves. We eventually move into a spoilery section about what on earth actually happens in it!TimestampsIntro and News - 00:00-10:33Mulan - 10:47-26:32I'm Thinking of Ending Things (spoiler-free) - 26:46-35:16I'm Thinking of Ending Things (spoilers!) - 35:31-endShownotes "12 Question to Ask Before You Watch Game of Thrones" by John Piper.

What can Christians say about the work of the director tasked with saving post-lockdown cinema?We work through Memento, The Prestige, The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, Dunkirk, and conclude with our review of the much delayed Tenet, picking up on his recurrent themes including obsession, time, self-made realities, and technology,SPOILER WARNING for Tenet and most other films (though we leave Memento and The Prestige spoiler-free, in case you haven't seen their big twists!)TimestampsIntro and News - 00:00-09:40Memento - 09:55-18:49The Prestige - 19:04-30:43The Dark Knight Trilogy - 30:54-48:21Inception - 48:34-01:01:57Interstellar - 01:02:12-01:15:56Dunkirk - 01:16:11-01:26:04Tenet - 01:26:18-end

We're back from our summer break with special guest Nev Pierce - and this episode was a lot of fun to record!Having spent most of his career as a film journalist (Empire, Total Film, and more), a few years ago Nev started directing.

It's definitely worth getting the week long free trial of Apple TV+!

In the news, delays and more delays again!Then, we make a pitch for Netflix's Dark - a truly brilliant German time-travel drama. If you're not sold on it, or not aware of it, give us 20 minutes to change your mind and explain why it's worth very much worth watching if you're a Christian.After that, we dive into an extended review of all three seasons, picking apart the themes of free will vs. determinism, Ecclesiastes and eschatology, how sin spreads across the generations, the surprising amount of Christian imagery, and how we feel about the ending...Timestamps00:00 - 06:08 - News06:23 - 23:28 - Dark pitch24:42 - end - Dark reviewShownotesStraw Dogs by John Gray (on the myth of progress)

Instead of news this week, we respond to a listener's email.In reviews, we discuss surprise gameshow hit Floor is Lava (Netflix), wondering why Christians like games like this. Then we dig into Will Ferrell's Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (Netflix) and have a think about small towns, big cities... and elves.And the main event is of course Hamilton (Disney+).

We talk about reparations, the black church, and how even victims fall prey to greed.

In the news, we chat about cinemas reopening and Brendan Gleeson playing Donald Trump.Then, we have an unplanned review of the BBC's The Salisbury Poisonings - a three part dramatisation of events surrounding the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, UK in 2018. Coming out mid-pandemic, it made for very interesting viewing! We discuss the death of expertise, the fear of contagion, and why only Christianity helps us make sense of grieving the loss of even a single life.

In this week's news, we talk about things being pulled from streaming services due to outdated and offensive content.Then, we review Terrence Malick's A Hidden Life, based on the true story of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian Roman Catholic farmer who was executed for refusing to swear the oath of allegiance to Hitler. The film only had a small release earlier this year, and had just become available on streaming services. A powerful, challenging story about faith and conscience, which is incredibly relevant to Christians in these troubled times.

This week, we interview special guest (and friend of the podcast) James Cary, talking about sitcoms from a Christian perspective.James is a professional comedy writer, writing for TV (Miranda, Bluestone 42) and radio, as well as working with stand-up comedian Milton Jones.

In the news, we can't believe it: THE SNYDER CUT HAS BEEN RELEASED. But the Oscars are probably cancelled or delayed. Swings and roundabouts!Then, we spend a lot more time than we thought we would reviewing The Mandalorian - Disney+'s flagship launch show, and the first live-action Star Wars TV series.After asking "is it good Star Wars?" we get into themes of the Western genre, fatherhood and family, religious tradition, and wonder whether Disney's Star Wars hubris has gone too far.

In a timely interview for lockdown, this week we had the pleasure of interviewing Dan Strange. Dan is College Director at Oak Hill Theological College, and last year published Plugged In: Connecting Your Faith With What You Watch, Read, and Play.We discuss Dan's book, and how Christians should think about culture: what is it? Do Christians just "engage" it, or are we part of it? Why are we so bad at making it? And how can we be thoughtful about what we're consuming during lockdown?ShownotesPlugged In by Daniel Strange

In the news, we talks about Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie, Tiger King adaptations, and how coronavirus might affect how we watch films forever.Then, in honour of the release of After Life Season 2 (Netflix), we have a Ricky Gervais special. As a very outspoken atheist, we have a great time tracing the big themes running through his work (The Office, Extras, Derek, The Invention of Lying) from a Christian perspective--rejoicing in the good, and picking apart the not-so-good. Then, we review After Life.

Welcome to our Studio Ghibli special! We introduce and give background on the highly acclaimed Japanese animation studio, suggest which films to start with if you're not already a fan, and then dig into the films' big themes of environmentalism, pacificism, and strong female characters.ShownotesGhibliotheque: A Podcast About Studio Ghibli"Why We Should Jettison the 'Strong Female Character' - Part 1" by Alastair Roberts"Why We Should Jettison the 'Strong Female Character' - Part 2" by Alastair Roberts

We have a quick chat about release date for this week, but that's just preamble to the main event.Conveniently, lockdown life coincided with the arrival of Disney+ here in the UK. There's a LOT to watch and a LOT to talk about.We discuss how Christian parents approach princess movies, God-given imagination in Disney+ documentary The Imagineering Story, why we all (used to) love The Simpsons, dog movies, Meghan Markle and elephants, and hidden gems!

A very full episode today!In the news, we have some belated Oscar reactions (including Donald Trump's) and wonder if the Academy is beginning to break its safe, predictable habit of Best Picture winners.Then, in TV, we review the BBC adaptation of The Pale Horse (Rufus Sewell), discussing evangelical stereotypes, witchcraft, and the time Agatha Christie wrote to the Pope. We also review The Righteous Gemstones and whether it's an effective satire about prosperity televangelists.In film, we review Birds of Prey and ponder the ethics of Warner Bros profit driven DCEU.And, of course, we discuss Best Picture winner Parasite, and just how close it is to the Bible's presentation of wealth and class.News - 00:00-14:30The Pale Horse - 14:44-24:09The Righteous Gemstones - 24:24-34:31Birds of Prey - 34:45-48:52Parasite - 49:09-end

This week, we're the Justice League.First, we answer some of YOUR questions and read out listener emails.Then, it's a justice special as we review two movies based on real-life injustices. First, Bomshell (Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie) which tells the story of the 2016 Fox News sex scandal; then, Just Mercy (Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx) which follows a young lawyer fighting racism in 1980s Alabama as he fights for men wrongly put on death row.We discuss foregrounding the voices of victims, how our own church power structures are open to abuse and scandal, and whether Just Mercy does justice to Christianity and the black church.

In news this week, we reflect on the passing of Terry Jones and how Christians have responded to The Life of Brian over the years. We touch on Bond news, Ghibli coming to UK Netflix, and Hollywood using AI to predict blockbuster success.Then, it's a war movie special - but why are audiences (and Christians!) so into them?We review Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit, and think about what the Bible has to say about satire.Then, it's box-office topper 1917. We talk about broken bodies, the futility of war, and how powerful films still have to use Christianity to create their most profound moments.

Awards season is here, so there's plenty to talk about in the news!We talk about this year's Golden Globes, including Ricky Gervais' hosting and its other controversies.Then, we discuss the return of Doctor Who, and why Rhys doesn't watch it any more. Then we move on to Netflix's comedy-drama divorce movie Marriage Story and the BBC's new Dracula adaptation, and discover some unexpected similarities between the two!

With news quiet at the turn of the year, we do a quick recap of 2019's best movies (i.e. Avengers: Endgame).Then, we review Netflix's The Two Popes, discussing why Protestants should still be interested in a movie like this, and how the film addresses pressing questions for any church in the 21st century.We also dig into Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the virtue of a happy ending, with a lot of help from CS Lewis!Mentioned in the Episode:"Surprised By Joy" by CS Lewis"Dedication of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by CS Lewis"Star Wars and the Typological Imagination" by Rhys Laverty

A mini-episode special reviewing the BBC's three-part adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", produced for Christmas 2019, starring Guy Pearce and Andy Serkis.Is this a harsh, secular retelling, devoid of a God to forgive Ebenezer Scrooge? Is it a refreshing reinterpretation for the sins of our age? Can you watch it with your mum and dad? And does it show that Dickens' original is more full of the gospel than we ever thought?Listen in as we discuss all that and more!

Our second ever episode is a Christmas special. Nothing if not ambitious, right?In the news, we talk about December's big trailers, and peek ahead to Christmas TV.Then, we ask "what makes a Christmas movie?" and how should Christians feel about them, before reviewing Netflix's new original Klaus and holiday rom-com Last Christmas (the Wikipedia plot synopsis of which was enough to make one of us well up).Along the way, we discuss Christmas dinner at George's house, and ruin the Santa myth for both young and old as we discover that St Nicholas did not in fact punch a heretic in the face.NOTE: we're sorry about some problems with Rhys' mic - it drops out at points. We have amplified it where possible, though this makes the audio a bit uneven sometimes. This is a problem that didn't come up in our audio test - we think it was a connection that came loose whilst recording. We will fix for next time!Things Mentioned:Hark!
