Welcome to the Genesius Podcast! We are three Catholic dudes (Nic, Jon, and Kyle) who love to talk about movies! We cover anything secular, religious, you name it.

It is a time of great excitement and anticipation in the galaxy of podcasts. For ninety-nine episodes, three Catholic dudes – Nic, Seth, and Jon – have journeyed through vast topics, from faith to movies, culture to theology, discussing and dissecting the universe from a uniquely Catholic perspective.The trio, united by a shared love of stories and the transcendent power of film, has spent years exploring various facets of their faith, all while leaving one beloved franchise untouched. Their hearts long for the stories of heroes, villains, redemption, and hope.For all the discussions of love, virtue, and the mysteries of the Church, one of their favorite cinematic universes has remained a distant star. At last, the time has come. The Lord has been with them through every episode, leading them to this moment. Join us three Catholic dudes – with a special guest – as we celebrate the 100th episode in a way only the Genesius Podcast can….Recorded 01/20/2025.

Alex and Joe join Nic once again to continue the conversation that started two weeks ago. This time, the guys discuss anti-heroes and villains and how they should be portrayed in film. They also debate on how time travel would theoretically work in the real world and, unsurprisingly, nerd out some more about Star Wars (but a surprising amount of it is relevant to the conversation). Next week...Jon and Seth return! Recorded 07/24/2024

Today, Nic reads some feedback emails from a couple listeners and responds to them. Some spicy topics include parody and blasphemy in film, how far is too far, and why the '80s were the greatest decade in pop culture history. Nic also found an excuse to gush about Back to the Future. It's that good of a movie and the soundtrack really is that amazing. Send in your feedback or questions to genesiuspodcast@gmail.com. We just might respond on the show going forward. Recorded 06/26/2024 (into 06/27/2024) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genesius-podcast/message

Nic is back with another bonus episode! In light of the recent disappointing episode of The Acolyte, Nic talks about how story needs to be prioritized in filmmaking, why Star Wars has actually been largely successful at this, and how good and evil need to be portrayed correctly in modern media. Oh, and it should be known that it was this podcast that predicted the new Hunger Games story. We're not taking credit for this happening...but we kind of are.

Get to know your host, Nic, in this spontaneously-made bonus episode as he shares the three movies nearest and dearest to his heart. What are they? Listen and find out! Share with us what your three favorite movies are below, or email them to us! We may end up doing an episode about it one day!

**WARNING: This episode contains conversation about uncomfortable, but relevant, subject matter regarding sexuality.** For a modern sports comedy with a very mid-2000's vibe, the discussion inevitably takes a rather serious turn. Nic introduces Jonah onto the podcast for a deep-dive discussion about the most controversial movie of the year that only the Daily Wire had the balls to release, and the important message it was communicating.

Ka(tniss Ever)thleen makes an impressionable flying-colors come back as she rejoins Nic, Kyle, and Megan to uncover – or cover up – the truth as to who's a songbird and who's a snake…or, perhaps, both. Recorded 04/11/2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genesius-podcast/message
For the first time in Genesius history, Nic (joined once again by Kyle and Megan) starts a revolution by tackling not one, but TWO films in a single episode. To be fair, though…it's one very long movie split into two parts. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sixty-eighth somewhat-weekly episode of the Genesius Podcast. Recorded 04/29/2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genesius-podcast/message
The guests for the sixteenth and fiftieth episodes of the Genesius Podcast return to the studio with Nic for the Third Quarter Quell…and by Third Quarter Quell, I really mean the sixty-seventh episode. Recorded 04/29/2024. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/genesius-podcast/message
With Jon and Seth on hiatus for the next few weeks, Nic is joined by a very special panel reaped from the existing pool of special guest stars for the next few weekly episodes of the Genesius Podcast!
