We wrestle with the moral cost of war through a modern Odyssey lens, especially what it means to see the divine image in people you might be ordered to kill. We ask whether “necessary” violence can ever be clean, and why the ones who protect everyone else often carry scars the rest of us never have to bear. • Athena's beheading as a symbol of desecration and conscience • war as ugly even when defense feels necessary • Zeus's law of hospitality set against survival and self-defense • the fog of war and our limited moral vision • Plato's Euthyphro as a test for confident moral claims • the “dark knight” role and taking blame for the public good • Oppenheimer parallels and the burden of consequential choices • film critique on flattened characters while still recommending it Please, if you're enjoying this content, give this video a like, hit that subscribe button, and most importantly, if you can, ring that bell.

The movie many are hating on for the wrong reasons! This is not the movie they think it is.Cloud of Witnesses, Jeremy Jeremiah, James St Simon, Michael, and Mario Andrew, break down the most unforgettable moments from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and why the homecoming story hits harder when the music, visuals, and symbols keep pointing back to love and loss. We wrestle with the film's biggest moral turn: the fear of an outside enemy flips into the recognition that we might be the problem.• the siren song motif returning at the reunion with Penelope• Odysseus holding on to the pin as a symbol of home• the dog recognizing Odysseus and what that reveals• the claustrophobia and horror of the Trojan horse• Nolan's visual storytelling through light, color, and disorientation• “the people from the sea” as a mirror for self-deception• Nolan's modern guilt theme contrasted with Homer's cosmic order• mythic heroes with clear morality versus modern conflicted heroesQuestions about Orthodoxy?

MOVIE DISCUSSION: Melvin & Dan talk about the latest Predator movie, Prey, that probably should have been in theaters, right?Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 50-minutes talking about the benefits to physical media over streaming, and the exciting world of special features w/ examples. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Immediate disappointment that Prey was not in theaters.Jacob Knight on Letterboxd writes that Predator is at its best when it just embraces its "Pro Wrestling" aesthetic.Predator has always been more enjoyable when it's simple. This is why Predators can feel pretty fun at times, and why Prey feels great all the time.Melvin & Dan want to see the Predator dropped into other time periods: pirates, samurai, ancient Greece. All sorts of weird, high concept stuff!Amber Midthunder was very pleased to see the depictions of Native Americans in Prey was not hyper spiritual and shamanistic.There's a cultural, current fascination with "simple" movies; movies with high concepts that are easy to explain and easier to understand.Dakota Beavers, really the only other character in the movie, who also has no other credits on IMDB, was also pretty great!As far as we can tell, all the Native American characters have Native American heritage, which is really great!Ranking the Predator movies.Recommendations: Blue Letter Bible & NET Bible (Apps)Look for Independent Theaters nearby for fun community events!10 Cloverfield Lane (Movie)Support on Patreon for Unique Perks!

If you absolutely hate cats and you enjoy seeing them try to murder humans, you may enjoy this film. Otherwise, it's a story mess. Just a bunch of fakey voices for animals and a silly human (Robinson Crusoe) trying to build stuff.
Joseph Fiennes does a sword-sharp job of being Sherlock Romes in this biblical era movie. It is a good movie with a positive look at, not only faith, but faith in the risen Savior. Go see it, or rent it when old Redbox offers it. Then you can pretend that the movie "Risen" is emerging from it's tomb to live again. Or... not. But enjoy it and share it. This is one of the best movies about Jesus in a long time.
Paul Bass gives a little insight into the latest teen driven action flick. The 5th Wave is a lot like "Home" except not a cartoon and, in this movie the girl makes out with the alien. AweMan. I might have spoiled it for ya.
An introduction to the Basically The Deal On Movies segment. What to expect from a Basically The Deal review. Hosted by Paul Bass.
Thoughts about the movie "God's Not Dead."
Noah's Ark,Noah,Noah The Movie,Minister Stevie Tee,Blasted,A Christian Movie Review, Well we decided for you to see the video above first so you may hear and see how passionate the Minister, musician, producer, humanitarian is about his God's (The Great I Am) word. The minister of CitySide Ministries International has been preparing for his upcoming YouTube and Television show but decided to give the word early speaking on God's commandment from Exodus 20:4. Even though the show isn't fully in edited/animated display he comes through quite straight forward and on point. He told sources that him and his sons Stevie Tee Jr. & Curtis Michael from song :Wrapped in Red (which can be purchased on amazon.com) was going to the movies this past weekend to see Noah , The Lego Movie and The Muppets but after the holy spirit spoke he was led not to participate in the sin of it which he says "Cease That Madness" which also is his show's slogan. He speaks and says that hollywood is all about profits and that they are not about the church so they shouldn't pretty much be profiting off of God as he referenced the main actor might not even be in Christ yet. He also told sources that he has a collection of biblical movies but since the holy spirit showed him and remionded him of the truth, he's going to burn them. Well, if he's doing it then many should listen and follow because the word of God do state that we cannot have a graven image or anything in the likeness of it so movies, pictures are in the likeness which means ...........it's in sin, so Minister Stevie Tee you have a follower now who is (watching those movies) out not in, or say my name is bennit and I ain't in it but I am in the faith.
