Explore Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) with us and see how these seemingly silly characters connect deeply the story of Christ, His disciples, and the conflict between God's family and Satan. This movie in particular brings up concepts of maturity, belonging, and what it means to be family. Watch the episode here.

May the 4th be with you! In honor of Star Wars day, we dug into the vault and re-released our discussion with astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This surprisingly fresh entry to the Star Wars universe led to some deep discussion on a range of topics: Is there ever a time when ‘lying' is justified in the eyes of God? Is it possible to deceptively work from within an evil group in order to dismantle it? Why is it so hard to create replicas of the human face that are convincing, when animals seem much less difficult? Will storytelling – and dare we say filmmaking – continue in the eternal state? What sort of Star Wars character would Dr. Lisle be? ...and much more! Watch the episode here. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.

In episode 7 the pace of the show picks up. Daredevil is back, and he is on the hunt for the serial killer Muse. Our Hosts James and Miles were excited to see some action and drama, but had to dig for theological talking points.

Eric and James continue their week by week breakdown of Daredevil: Born Again. This week they covered Ep 5 & 6 discussing the themes of prayer, righteousness without roots, and the contrast between Daredevil and the Kingpin's similar motives and mission.

This week Eric and Miles examine episode 4 of Daredevil Born Again.  This entry was a bit slow on the action side, but was thematically interesting as each character struggles through their frustration with the broken systems in New York.  Each character also highlights an aspect of forgiveness (or lack thereof) which makes for an excellent opportunity for Popcorn Theology. Watch the episode here. Also!!! Popcorn Theology is celebrating 10 years this month!!!

We're back in our weekly series covering Daredevil: Born Again. This time Miles joins Eric as we discuss the themes from episode 3. Does being a good person mean that you cannot do wrong? Is Fisk really trying to reform? Watch the episode here. Also!!! Popcorn Theology is celebrating 10 years this month!!!

After an 8 year long hiatus Daredevil has returned to the MCU!! And WOW it starts off with a bang! Join Eric and James as they tackle the themes in the inaugural episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. The hosts are cautiously optimistic because they were “raised to believe in grace… that thoughtful engagement can redeem a show. But we also were raised to believe in rejecting mindless consumption so if it steps out of line… we'll be there.” Watch the episode here.

Can we be men (or women) without fear?

Robert Eggers seems to think so, and James and returning guest Joe Thorn sink their teeth into his latest film, a love letter to the classic century old story from silent cinema now given 21st century sound and color.

All “Bad” things must come to an end. Join James, Kat, and David for the epic conclusion of the Walter White saga. As we explore the iconic series finale(s), we also dig up a barrel full of biblical themes - walking in darkness, gaining the world by losing your soul, repentance, and the nature of justice. We even draw comparisons between Ebenezer Scrooge and Walt, who is the real cancer of the series. We think you'll be satisfied with the quality of our product, and hope you have an A1 day.

This week our hosts Miles, James & Kat defy watching mindlessly as they cover Wicked: Part 1. This beloved musical is overflowing with fruitful topics to discuss.  Many people have bemoaned the rise of the “villain as misunderstood victim” story, yet our hosts found subtlety and valuable truth throughout this film. Among these truths are the folly of the unexamined life, how we can all be tempted by the desire to be popular, and how this story echoes elements of the greatest story of all.

Will Eric and James survive, or will this frightening film be their last assignment? Join us and find out… Watch the video episode here. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.
