God and Entertainment Podcast

In part two of our take on zombie films, we discuss all three iterations of I Am Legend, including an examination of how the different iterations of each telling reflect the cultural climate of the times. We push further to tackle Critical Race Theory in films and television today and wrap up with a critique of The Walking Dead and how, as a Christian writer, you can ensure your work gets out into the world without relying on New York and Hollywood gatekeepers.

Brian introduces the Biblical foundation for zombie stories and how this genre depicts absolute evil in an era of subjective morality. We also explore humanity in the face of the immense trials these films present. We kick the discussion off with the archetypal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead and cover 28 Days Later, how Hollywood depicts “male toxicity” and the military, and conclude with an exploration of true heroics in zombie films.

Brian and Chris introduce themselves and discuss what pandemic films tell us about ourselves under extreme circumstances. Through our comparison of Outbreak (1995) and Contagion (2011), we dig into pandemic conspiracy theories and how the media chooses to report outbreaks. We also discuss other pandemic films, including Flu, Carriers and more.
