Podcast appearances and mentions of James Watkins

Think of your spiritual journey as constantly combatting heavy winds, and you lack the strength to fight. You must make a choice; focus on Jesus or look away to the storm around us. Peter understood the Lord was rescuing him, but he made the choice to divert his eyes to the sea of troubles around him. Taking your eyes off yourself and looking at Jesus, you can find yourself in peace and get through the storm.

HOLY HELL, DC IS ACTUALLY GOING THERE!! Greg Alba & Coy Jandreau react to the brand-new CLAYFACE Official Trailer from DC Studios, released during SDCC 2026 week! Fresh off the massive Avengers: Doomsday trailer, San Diego Comic-Con continues with our first full look at this R-rated DCU body-horror movie set in Gotham City. In our Clayface trailer reaction, breakdown, and review, we discuss Tom Rhys Harries as struggling actor Matt Hagen, his horrifying transformation into the classic Batman villain, Naomi Ackie as Dr. Caitlyn Corr, Max Minghella as Gotham detective John Pearlman, and director James Watkins fully embracing the grotesque horror of movies like The Fly and The Substance. The practical effects, melting faces, scissors scene, nanotechnology serum, psychological horror, and tragic character story all make this feel completely different from anything Marvel or DC has attempted before. We also talk about James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Universe, Mike Flanagan's original Clayface script, this movie's place in the DCU, the absence of Batman, potential connections to the Caped Crusader, Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II, Robert Pattinson's Batman universe, DC Studios at San Diego Comic-Con, and whether Clayface could become one of the most disturbing comic-book movies ever made.

Monsignor Watkins explains the parable of the wheat and the weeds, explaining why God allows evil to exist.

Monsignor Watkins speaks of the essence love in today's homily.

Gospel: John 20:19-23On the evening of that first day of the week,when the doors were locked, where the disciples were,for fear of the Jews,Jesus came and stood in their midstand said to them, "Peace be with you."When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you.As the Father has sent me, so I send you."And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,"Receive the Holy Spirit.Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,and whose sins you retain are retained."

In our lives, we want to be as close to God as possible.The closest we get to God is body to body, blood to blood through the Eucharist.First communion is not graduation it is a progression into receiving the fullness of Christ every week.

The Clayface movie trailer just dropped — and before Mike sees it, Zach is making him sit through the Batman: The Animated Series two-parter that inspired it all."Feat of Clay" is the origin story of Matt Hagan: a disfigured Hollywood actor addicted to a face cream that lets him reshape his own body, force-fed so much of it by the man who controlled his supply that he became something that could no longer be called human. It's a kids' cartoon. It goes pretty dark.This week Zach breaks down both parts of the classic BTAS two-parter, the one that created the definitive version of Clayface. One that blended Basil Karlo and Matt Hagan into a single tragic figure. Plus: the real Hollywood actors who inspired the character, why two different animation studios handled the two episodes and the talents of Ron Perlman, Ed Asner, and Ed Begley Jr. Mike's verdict: he's watching Batman: The Animated Series with his grandkids. Zach has never been more proud.Also covered this week:- Lon Chaney, Montgomery Clift, and the real tragedy behind Matt Hagan- The cream. We can't stop calling it the cream.- Poor Teddy.The Clayface film (directed by James Watkins, written by Mike Flanagan) is coming and now you'll know exactly where it's drawing from.Also dropping this week: our Clayface One Bad Day episode replay — the 2023 DC one-shot where a Hollywood actor becomes Clayface in a single very bad day.

If we were perfect, intelligent and clean, what would be the need for a savior?Our shepherd, Jesus knows us, and we, his sheep know his voice and follow him. We can tell the voice of Jesus apart from the strange voices in this world that tell us to stray from his path.

Monsignor Watkins reflects on Peter's betrayal of Jesus, Jesus' eternal forgiveness, as well as Thomas' need to see his real injuries to believe. At Mass we remember Jesus' sign of peace and we believe, without seeing, in the real body and blood of Christ every Sunday. Through Jesus wounds we remember his sacrifice.

Today's advice: Weep like Jesus wept.

Msgr. Watkins speaks about the role of charity and alms-giving and the powerful work done by the Annual Appeal during the Lenten season.

Pastor James Watkins of West End Baptist Church in Clanton Alabama shares a devotional message at the ALCAP legislative breakfast in Montgomery.

Amidst a snowy Washington in a chaotic world, Msgr. Watkins keeps it simple and brief: do not be distressed --- when Christ calls, don't dither, follow him.

Christmas is often left after December 25th, but every day should be remembering the mystery of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. We must remember why Jesus came to us and his perfect sacrifice in death. He reminds us that through his death we are constantly washed clean of our sins.

Msgr. Watkins' #NewYears resolution: Be brief. Be sincere. Be seated.

We sometimes forget that the Holy Family lived real human lives — facing uncertainty, difficult decisions, and moments of struggle. In this homily, Msgr. Watkins invites us to look at their story through a human lens, beginning with the heartfelt reflection: “Poor Joseph.” Walk with them, feel their challenges, and discover a fresh perspective.

In today's homily, Monsignor Watkins discusses the importance of the Holy Family — Mary, Joseph, and Jesus — and togetherness. As we near the end of the 12 days of Christmas, and enter into the new year, do not forget the importance of your loved ones in your life.

Msgr. James Watkins beautifully captures the heart of Christmas this year: embracing the Christ Child. During his homily, he tenderly holds a parishioner's baby—a powerful and poignant image that says it all. May we, too, embrace the Christ Child this #Christmas

We see most of the world as black and white, good is acknowledged, bad is punished and most religions are the same way.In Christianity however, God doesn't owe us anything.If Santa were loving and merciful, he would go to the land of misfit toys regardless of their defects.Jesus is mercy he came among us into our flawed world and didn't come for the righteous, but for the sinner. Not to punish us but to redeem us out of love. Through baptism we turn from misfits into loved adopted children of God.

Some creatures don't bring death — they just let you know it's coming.IN THIS EPISODE: Throughout history, we've assigned roles for harbingers of doom to various creatures and people. If a black cat crosses your path, it brings bad luck with it. If you see your own doppelganger, you're dangerously close to an untimely end. If the grim reaper makes an appearance, your time is up. And on and on it goes. In small towns in and around the United States and across the world, creatures lurking in the woods, sounds that can be heard at night, are all signs that something terrible is headed your way. These are what are known as “harbingers of doom” – and there are some horrifying events that have been linked to them over the years. (True Stories of Harbingers of Doom) *** The vast emptiness of Arizona can make the imagination do some crazy things – but then add to that an odd, abandoned set of domelike buildings, graffitied with “666”, where dead animals are found regularly, and the imagination might take you past crazy and into terrifying. (Arizona's Roadside Horror) *** Mary Harris waited outside the building where Adoniram Burroughs worked, and when he came out she pulled a gun and shot him at close range – killing him instantly. She then walked off, calmly, as if she had only tossed down and stepped on a used cigarette butt. But the public was on her side once her story was told. (The Case of Mary Harris) *** Weirdo family member Danny Ward tells the true story of what happened to him on a camping trip that turned terrifying.

Msgr. Watkins gives the history of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe instituted by Pope Pius XI in the wake of the First World War's devastation to call the faithful's attention away from earthly contestations and back to the true and rightful ruler of our lives: Christ the King.

Christ dwells in us as the building blocks of something grand—His Kingdom. What does your building look like?

Persistence may be hard, all things in life are hard. In Exodus, Moses is tired and weary but he is supported by Aaron and Hur to fulfill what the Lord wants. Then, Jesus in the gospel of Luke also speaks on persistence and to pray unceasingly without being weary. Jesus was weary on the cross with no assistance but he still cried out to his father that “thy will be done”. His sacrifice and his permanent patience is the reason we come to mass, to praise, to adore and to unceasingly embrace our God who came down to Earth for our sins.

People often ask how can a good merciful God allow for all the evil in our world to happen? The apostles experienced this question, asking Jesus to increase their faith, as people of faith can understand the evil of the crucifixion which was necessary as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.

If a black cat crosses your path, it brings bad luck with it. If you see your own doppelganger, you're dangerously close to an untimely end. If the grim reaper makes an appearance, your time is up. And on and on it goes. In small towns in and around the United States and across the world, creatures lurking in the woods, sounds that can be heard at night, are all signs that something terrible is headed your way. These are what are known as “harbingers of doom” – and there are some horrifying events that have been linked to them over the years. (True Stories of Harbingers of Doom) *** The vast emptiness of Arizona can make the imagination do some crazy things – but then add to that an odd, abandoned set of domelike buildings, graffitied with “666”, where dead animals are found regularly, and the imagination might take you past crazy and into terrifying. (Arizona's Roadside Horror) *** Mary Harris waited outside the building where Adoniram Burroughs worked, and when he came out she pulled a gun and shot him at close range – killing him instantly. She then walked off, calmly, as if she had only tossed down and stepped on a used cigarette butt. But the public was on her side once her story was told.
