How do you apply math to storytelling? You can't! But with how in-depth we get, it sure seems like we try! Here, mad "science" and plot crash together for in-depth narrative analysis. If you're looking for a new fiction perspective, this is the podcast for you.
Today we take a look at Netflix's highly original and acclaimed classic, A Christmas Prince.

The most prominent plotline in this movie is about moldy cheese. This pretty much tells you all you need to know.

In this episode of Narrative Calculus we take a look at the best movies of all time. Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas. It's rare that we see a movie so brilliant, so genius. In terms of storytelling C.S. Lewis? Outta here! Calvin? Toss your bible down the drain! This is the year of KIRK CAMERON, BUDDY.
The greatest superhero movie of all time has finally entered the halls of our... uh... reviewing room... Anyway, it's a crime that we haven't gotten around to watching such an amazing classic. Feel free to rage at us in the review section about how long this took to make. Hopefully our review makes up for it. Never before have I seen such depth, such passion in a movie. It's less a movie and more a religious experience. I wake up in the morning sad, but then my day is instantly brightened because I realize that Captain Underpants is a movie I have seen. Feel depressed? Just rewatch Captain Underpants. Feel happy? Still rewatch Captain Underpants! Heck, just watch Captain Underpants anyway. It's official. Narrative Calculus is OVER. Captain Underpants: The Podcast has been resurrected from its dead remains. NOTE: Just in case you don't get sarcasm, the above is satirical.
Narrative Calculus makes its first ever book review with The Old Man and The Sea, one of Ernest Hemingway's most celebrated books... And also one of his most hated. Watch as these two dudes with no background in literary analysis fumble their way around trying to analyze freakin' Ernest Hemingway. What was I thinking?
The Fellowship of the Ring review is up, well, I guess that's it... Just kidding! In this episode of Narrative Calculus, me and Jonathan drop back into Middle-Earth for one final ride. Throughout, we discuss the overall shortcomings and successes of the trilogy. We dive into the basic narrative functions that comprise a story, along with how the movies use said functions. Plot vs character. Theme and structure. All this and more on the icing of the cake on this tetralogy of reviews.
Though P.T. Barnum may be the greatest showman (something i plan to contest in court), this movie about him is most assuredly NOT the greatest show. It's a total mess, to the point where this movie has the dubious honor of being the first we've ever rated below 5. Why is it such a hot mess? Find out on the next exciting, spine-tingling, have-you-on-the-edge-of-your-seat episode of... A podcast about two dudes reviewing movies (it's 11pm, im tired. btw what are the odds johnathon is going to text me about this dumb description. any ideas guys? bro, why are you playing tetris? what do you think im blind? just watch the episode. guess what man. I have a very specific set of skills, skills i have acquired by sitting on a chair all day staring at a screen. skills that make me a nightmare to people like you. if you watch the podcast, that'll be the end of it. i wont email you, i wont write irritatingly bad descriptions. but if you dont, i wil you know what im going to sleep) Music by Kevin Macleod

Ah yes, The Two Towers. Where's the second tower? Irrelevant! Today we take a look at the second part of one of the greatest fantasy film trilogies of all time. Is the hype justified?

In this episode of Narrative Calculus, we take a look at Dreamwork's second movie. Some consider it to be one of the greatest animated films of all time. Some... Not so much. Why is this, and who do we agree with?
Pixar is well known as one of the world's premier animation studios. They have made many, many classics that resonate with both children and adults. It's rare for them to make a merely 'good movie', much less a bad one. Cars 2 is a bad one. Why is this, and do we agree?
In the premiere of our podcast, we take a look at one of the best pieces of Christian film to come out in the last year. NOTE: This episode is very, very rough. We encountered audio problems early on and the whole thing sounds awful. Check it out if you want, but this is not our normal standard of quality.
