Podcasts about Touched by an Angel

Before there was TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL there was HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN, an 80s sitcom that may be the blueprint for the angel media craze that swept American pop culture at the end of the 20th century. HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN was created and directed by American television legend Michael Landon, who also stars in the series as the angel Jonathan Smith. Landon, known for his roles on all-American historical dramas BONANZA and LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, enlisted his former LITTLE HOUSE… co-star Victor French to play Jonathan Smith's buddy Mark Gordon, a retired policeman (and mortal human) who accompanies Jonathan on his weekly assignments to use angelic influence to improve people's lives. God is referred to as “The Boss” in the series; this world-building is consistent with TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL's commitment to never discussing Jesus's sacrifice or the concept of sin on network television. Both series only refer to a faceless God and His angelic messengers who can impact earthly forces. This week on BBS, we chose to explore this historical television series in our ongoing study of angel media, focusing on an episode with a trope we love: body swap. On previous BBS episodes ME AGAIN and SWITCHED we discuss the sub-genre of Christian body swap stories, and HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN s1e20 “The Banker and the Bum” is a triumphant new entry in that category. When homeless man Willy the Waver (Ned Beatty) has 24 hours to live, he makes a simple wish to tell elitist mayoral candidate Melvin Rich (also played by Ned Beatty) to “be nice”. Angel Jonathan Smith grants this wish by swapping the two men's positions, teaching Melvin Rich an important lesson on empathy for others. The character of Willy the Waver reminds us of a common trope in Christian media: the homeless person who does unnecessary “kindness” to others that no one asked for in order to prove his unfortunate life is cheerful (in this case, waving to random cars on the road on a strict schedule like it's his job.) “The Banker and the Bum” is both a charming tale of acceptance and a reminder of the shallow understanding much Christian media has of homeless people.

In the 1990s, filmmakers and audiences seemed obsessed with “magic men” who caused chaos in their communities while teaching everyone an important lesson. Some of these men were angels; some of them were just weird little freaks who made a big difference. Some examples of this: POWDER, MEET JOE BLACK, PHENOMENON, and another John Travolta starring film called MICHAEL. MICHAEL is an interesting hybrid magic man/religious film where this “magic man” archetype is also the archangel Michael from the Bible. This device allows the film to be safe-religious while not directly invoking Jesus, a storytelling technique also used by popular Y2K-era television show TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. In the film, Michael is an angel discovered living in Iowa by tabloid reporters who specialize on documenting unexplained phenomena. When they travel to meet Michael, they find out he is indeed a real angel, but not in the way that most of us would expect to experience one. He is sweet, but with bad manners, and prone to seducing earth women because he's very interested in sex with them. Michael also introduces new rules of angel encounters on earth: for instance, angels are only allowed to visit earth 26 times and they can only perform small miracles. Inventing fake angel tropes outside of the Bible is a very common device of these safe religious 90s films, usually used to tie up plot continuity issues. In the end, Michael's secret mission is to unite the characters Frank (played by William Hurt) and Dorothy (played by Andie MacDowell) in a romantic love they will treasure forever. Although it's a sweet but ultimately quite stupid film that uses half-baked angel powers as a cop out, MICHAEL is an extremely interesting study in trends of biblical imagery in mainstream pop culture of the recent past.

The popular 90s and 2000s era show uses an “angel of the week” format as each story is about different angels inflicting themselves upon the lives of hapless humans. This week we focus on SIGN OF THE DOVE, a dueling angel experience which interweaves stories of Andrew (angel of death, portrayed by John Dye) and Monica (the show's protagonist, played by Roma Downey) helping two humans whose life paths have woven for generations. Andrew tells us the story of a human family he's been taking to heaven since the 1200s, including delightful time travel skits in period costumes (such as Revolutionary War-era powdered wigs.) Ben Mason is the last of this family; unfortunately he doesn't know he's about to perish in a bombing by his neighbor Nick Freeman, who doesn't mean harm to Ben but wants to collect insurance money and will kill Ben by accident. The history of a freed African American slave could be the key that unlocks Nick's humanity and prevents him from setting the fateful bomb. While we're waiting at the edge of our seats, we ponder the angel logic of TBAA. Why don't angels drink alcohol? Why do they make themselves visible to some humans but not all? What is it they can really do? TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL reviews have become our favorite fodder for podcast episodes because they are so dense with insane moments and inconsistent world building. Hopefully our review of “The Sign of the Dove” will be one you write about in your family Bible to remember forever.

TBAA (as our listeners are well aware by this point) is a famous y2k era TV drama where a Greek chorus of angels inflict themselves upon humans going through moral crises. In this episode, a genetic scientist named Dr. Conover (portrayed by Annabella Sciorra who notably plays Gloria Trillo in THE SOPRANOS) is desperate for a child to call her own, so she fuses her personal longings with work and decides to give birth to a baby cloned from Albert Einstein. This doesn't sit right with our favorite angels, Monica, Tess, and Andrew, who see human cloning as sacrilegious means for humans to “play God.” Monica becomes a bioethicist to monitor the doctor closely; meanwhile Andrew and Tess go back in time to tend to the dying Albert Einstein in his final days of life, to show Dr. Conover that even a brilliant man like her idol Einstein would be conflicted by the harmful effects caused by his life's work. Like most TBAA episodes, “The Face of God” takes a hard ideological stance using incredibly convoluted evidence written by humans and delivered by fictional angels as a means to completely eschew narrative continuity and moral consistency. But UNLIKE most TBAA episodes, this one is the origin of the character Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli) who is by far our favorite angel and is created by God out of thin air in this episode as a “flex” by humans for wanting to make cloned animals.

Touched by an Angel was a hit show we'd never seen that aired for nine years. During that run, the show tackled racism with an episode in 1999 titled "Black Like Monica," in which a white angel turns black for a little bit to learn about racism. This involved Monica, played by Roma Downey, to be in blackface. This special episode had a special guest star: Rosa Parks.You can find the Women Supporting Women (Anna Nicole and Courtney Love embracing) sweatshirt at Pipe Dreams.Call us for shout outs and dedications. 347 450 4239Video episodes, bonus episodes and our premium series WAWU—we're currently recapping Hey Paula—on Patreon.Check out potential drama and our Diamond Girls on our Instagram. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

PROMISED LAND launched with a “backdoor pilot” in the third season of TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL where audiences met their new favorite family: the Greenes (Dad Russell, mom Claire, son Josh, daughter Dinah, mother Hattie, and roguish redheaded nephew Nathaniel.) Recently homeless, the family decides to nomadically drive their trailer around America after being told by an angel that their purpose is to help others. The American promise is a major theme of PROMISED LAND, leaning more heavily into an explicit endorsement of American values than TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL ever does. In fact, pilot episode “The Expatriate” centers around the Greene family helping a man who is moving from America to New Zealand after suffering a spinal injury from gun violence. It seems reasonable that a man who suffered a traumatic injury might want a change of scenery, but the Greenes (and thereby the logic of the show's writers) seem to think it's a sin to abandon America. It's “ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” taken to an extreme and delusional degree, with the Greenes adding value to America by inflicting themselves on average people's lives who hold reasonable opinions. To get a broader sense of the vibe of PROMISED LAND, we also watch a late series episode where the show has completely abandoned the trailer-roaming angle of the show and the Greenes have settled down in Denver, CO. In the episode “What's in a Word?” Nathaniel overhears cool black teenagers saying the “soft ‘a' n-word” among themselves and, innocently not understanding the racial context, repeats this word to his own black friend in school the next day. This causes a massive stir within his community and ignites a conversation, poorly handled by the show's writers, about racial dynamics in America. The conclusion? America is the greatest country on earth, no matter the cost.

Prayer, Love, Unity, Respect: in this topical episode of popular 90s/y2k era TV drama TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, angel-in-training Gloria goes to a rave and actually does ecstasy with the human teen boy she's supposed to be protecting. Raves were a huge point of anxiety in pop culture in the y2k era. Although their colorful futurism and utopian optimism inspired a generation of media and fashion, people also had safety concerns about the newfound popularity of club drugs like ecstasy, leading to a large-scale moral panic. In the U.S. in 2003, then-Senator Joe Biden co-sponsored the RAVE Act (Reducing American's Vulnerability to Ecstasy) aimed at bringing harsh legal punishment not just to drug dealers but also party promotors. It's no wonder then that the writers of TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL felt they had to get the angels to mission to ravers directly: rave media is great fodder for exploitation, titillating with radical imagery only to deliver an anti-fun message. In HEAVEN'S PORTAL, angels Tess, Monica, Andrew, and Gloria meet a teen named Nick who is upset with his parents' separation and has taken to smoking weed and looking at websites about techno. When he gets info about rave 40 miles away, he drives there with the gullible Gloria, who was only crated by God recently and knows little about the world. Immediately, friendly ravers in silly costumes hand them pills to try. What happens when an angel takes ecstasy? Does the world end? We invite our good friend Woodrow White, an artist and scholar of rave-themed media, to return to the show to debate moral dilemmas about raves, pleasure, and sin.

It's a police procedural with the unique twist of depicting Texas Rangers as being skilled in martial arts and frequently involved in supernatural or otherwise extraordinary plots involving elements such as hostile Native American ghosts, white supremacist gangs, time travel, and deadly poison gas. We at Boys' Bible Study have also recently been TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, an intriguing companion piece because both shows were extremely popular 90s/y2k era franchises that blend conservative cultural values with pulpy, supernatural plot lines. This is evident in the WALKER episode we focus on for this week's review: PARADISE TRAIL is a story where Walker and friends are being read a story about a 19th century bounty hunter in the Old West guiding a wagon crew of Mormon settlers crossing treacherous wilderness to get to Utah. The WALKER cast imagine themselves in various roles of the story, singing hymns and cooking meals with their pure and extremely Aryan-looking Mormon friends. The episode actually borrows plot points from real historic episodes involving Mormon settlers in the U.S., but like all good propaganda, misrepresents and distorts information to protect the honor of its sympathetic subjects; in this case, white American Christians. WALKER, TEXAS RANGER is much more successful than the Christian movies we usually watch at distilling Christian conservative values while still having broad cultural appeal.

(Even if that's not true, it feels true, and that's what's important.) The extremely popular y2k era TV show depicts a troupe of angels trying to help humans on earth while adhering to a weird corporate power structure that dominates life in heaven. Tess (Della Reese) is the mother angel; Monica (Roma Downey) is a “search and rescue” angel who reports to her; Gloria (Valerie Bertinelli) is training for life on 21st century earth and is really bad at it; Andrew (John Dye) is an angel of death. Together they are case workers helping humans in need. We've previously reviewed another season 8 episode “Chutzpah” where the gang of angels meet a self-hating Jewish antisemitic cartoonist. Today we review “Minute by Minute”, where a nun with a dark past must prevent a Columbine-style bombing of a Catholic school before it's too late. Time is of the essence, but you wouldn't know it from the angels in this episode, who spend tons of time frittering away at the local diner or refusing to use their powers to even encourage a human to pull the fire alarm or call the police. The lore of how angels are allowed to interfere with human lives in this show is incredibly confusing, especially noticeable when trying to prevent a mass casualty event. That's why MINUTE BY MINUTE is an incredible piece of television that has undeniably influenced the way Americans view Christianity. Angels in American life are beautiful and wholesome yet ideologically confused, clumsy poltergeists.

First, CNN anchors John Berman and Sara Sidner peppered Kamala Harris surrogates with questions about why she's avoiding interviews and press conferences on Day 24 of her campaign as the presumptive Democrat nominee for President. Wednesday, Jim Acosta joined the chorus in holding campaign spokesperson Michael Tyler's feet to the fire.Also, Dan relays the ABC News story on the mystery of a vanishing priest, who some are calling a 'guardian angel,' coming to the rescue of a young woman trapped in a car after an accident. 

On this episode of the Rollercoaster Podcast, Tyler and Ashley take listeners on an emotional and thrilling journey as they recount a life-changing story where Ashley heroically saved Tyler's wife. The episode begins with Tyler describing the dire situation that set the stage for Ashley's brave actions. Listeners will feel the tension build as Tyler shares the details of the emergency, painting a vivid picture of the chaos and fear that gripped them. Ashley then steps in to narrate her perspective, explaining how she quickly assessed the situation and made the split-second decisions that ultimately saved Tyler's wife. Her recounting of the moment is filled with raw emotion, highlighting the adrenaline and determination that fueled her actions.They also talk about women living with trauma, panic, and fear often face daily challenges stemming from past experiences such as abuse or violence, which leave deep emotional scars and manifest in symptoms like insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Panic attacks add to their struggle, causing sudden, intense fear and physical symptoms that can be debilitating, leading to a constant state of hyper-vigilance. Fear further restricts their lives, making them feel unsafe even in familiar environments and hindering their ability to form trusting relationships. Despite these difficulties, many women seek therapy, support groups, and employ personal resilience to manage their symptoms, confront their fears, and work towards healing, demonstrating remarkable strength and determination.The "Hand of God" is a powerful metaphor representing divine guidance and support extended to all humanity. Imagine a radiant, celestial hand emerging from the heavens, its gentle touch bestowing wisdom, strength, and compassion upon men and women across the globe. This hand serves as a beacon of hope and direction, leading individuals through life's trials and triumphs. It symbolizes the omnipresent care and intervention of a higher power, subtly steering people towards righteousness, peace, and fulfillment. Through its influence, the "Hand of God" unites diverse cultures and communities, fostering a universal bond of faith and love.-Where to find Tyler Hall: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylerchall/ Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/the-tyler-hall-archives-7018241874482122753/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/sirTHALL Work with Tyler: https://www.tylerchristianhall.com/

The book of Daniel contains prophecies about the future and the end times. There are battles going on in the unseen realm, and angels play a role in these battles. Understanding Bible prophecy can help us make sense of current events. The book of Daniel provides insight into the rise and fall of empires and the role of key figures like Alexander the Great. Understanding Bible prophecy is crucial for preparing for the end times. The battles between the kings of the north and the south in Daniel foreshadow the coming of the Antichrist. Michael the Archangel plays a significant role in protecting Israel. God will ultimately have victory over the Antichrist and establish His kingdom. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/stacey-gibson3/message

Actress and producer Roma Downey, best known for her role in Touched By An Angel, has experienced a lot of loss and grief in her life, but thanks to a touching tradition with her father that began when she was just a young girl, she trained herself to see reminders of God's love all around her, a legacy that she's continued with her own family.    Quotes “[My dad] said, ‘Look, Roma, look at that moon. Just remember, wherever you are in the world, it'll be the same moon shining down on you as is shining down on me.' And he said, ‘And that will connect us, we'll be forever connected.'” - Roma Downey  “The moon has been a constant reassurance to me, and I often like to think of the moon as an analogy of God's love, that sort of loving presence that is ever with us.” - Roma Downey  “I think if you yourself have suffered a loss and you yourself have a deeper understanding of what it is to suffer, I think you're more aware and conscious of it than other people, and hopefully it makes you a little bit more thoughtful, a little bit more kind in reaction to others.” - Roma Downey “God's love is demonstrated to us through each other. When we show up with kindness, when we show up in service, when we show up joyfully, when we make somebody laugh, we will know each other by our love.” - Roma Downey “Anybody can say, ‘I love you,' but it's like, what are you doing? How are you showing up? What are your actions?

Leonard Cohen sang, “All I ever learned from love / Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya,” which should certainly strike a chord with followers of true crime. We've seen time and again how, after a bitter break-up, a person can go to extraordinary lengths to get their own back, whether the wrongs they've suffered are real or exist entirely in their own heads. Join us for a true crime story of greed, revenge, and toxic self-absorption.

The troupe contended with how to handle the most recent doll body-swap. New Rogue threatened the Doctor Deputy with a game of chicken until Tyler put the squire to sleep, Shadow Nemesis temporarily took control over Adam and tried and failed to glue the black knight's helmet back together using Del's pickled finger, and Del finally managed to pull Adam-slash-Shadow Nemesis out of the bag of holding. Del used the foul-smelling odour inside the bag to force the Doctor Deputy to retch up the needle, but the squire still wants the Black Knight back. Can Adam retake control over Shadow Nemesis before he ruins everything? Featuring players Tyler Hewitt, Del Borovic, Guy Bradford, and Adam McNamara, and Dungeon Master Ryan LaPlante.

This is going to be a good one, folks. And it doesn't even have a magician!You see this time in the cinematic universe of Touched by an Angel your everyday Y2K family seems to be all smiles and love, but deep inside something sinister is brewing. One night, daughter Evan Rachel Wood decides to climb on her state-of-the-art computing device and do some research about Hawaii so that she could finish her school report. But unfortunately for the Radcliffe family she's not shown the sandy beaches and wonderful people of our 50th state…This leads to a chain reaction of events where father Charlie (played by Harvey Birdman himself Gary Cole) gets fired from his job for looking at porn, his wife declares the Eiffel Tower is wonderful, and their youngest daughter says something weird about bunnies landing on cabbage when their born. But perhaps most sinister of all (not perhaps, definitely the most sinister), Evan Rachel Wood is then targeted by a pedophileI'm not joking when I say that this is one of the best, so you don't wanna miss this episode!

Do you believe in magic? Have you come here merely to hear the Boob Tube Boys DIE?! Well you're in for a treat as the fellas take a dive into the 1990s Christian television show Touched by an Angel, a program in which several benevolent angels kind of screw around and occasionally yell at a man with serious mental problemsThat man is noted actual actor and religious weirdo Corbin Bernsen playing a nutso magician named Eric Weiss, or not really, but whatever... you'll see. The magician must try to overcome guilt brought upon by his failure to 'save' his younger brother Petey from a deadly refridgerator attack when they were kids, so Monica, Tess, and new angel Callisto from Xena: Warrior Princess are here to help him along the way

This is a story that came to me a number of years ago and it's based on the popular and still famous television program entitled, Would you like to be touched by an angel? So in this interpretation of three angel stories from the Christmas story I try to perhaps bring some words of inspiration and comfort by thinking what might have happened or what would happen if we today right now on planet Earth were touched , Thanks for joining me and listening to the story and perhaps sharing some of your own.

Join us live in Los Angeles as Boys' Bible Study and American Cinematheque present... LET THERE BE LIGHT (2017) on Sun., Aug 27 at 10pm. Advance tickets on sale now! Every so often, God calls upon you to watch a movie that makes you reexamine the big milestones of decision-making in your life, such as, “What if… I never hosted a Christian film podcast?” WHAT IF… is a Christian romantic drama about guardian angels and alternate timelines that would feel right at home in the 1990s trend of secular/faith-based crossover media such as TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL. However, WHAT IF… was made two decades after this angelic era, and by a very consequential team of directors, writers and producers who would soon go on to achieve great success in the faith-based film genre. Director Dallas Jenkins (son of LEFT BEHIND co-creator Jerry B. Jenkins) would go on to direct THE CHOSEN, the hugely popular contemporary Christian TV series about the ministry of Jesus. Writers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon would go on to create the consequential GOD'S NOT DEAD series just a few years after the release of WHAT IF…. Finally, WHAT IF… co-producer David A.R. White (already a famous name in the genre) and star Kevin Sorbo would soon be the lead actors in GOD'S NOT DEAD, cementing their respective statuses as the contemporary titans of Christian film. WHAT IF… stars Kevin Sorbo perfectly in his favorite typecast role of a ruthless, worldly atheist. In this case, his character Ben Walker leaves his relationship with his devoutly Christian high school sweetheart Wendy (Kristy Swanson) to start a new life in the big city as a rich and successful investment banker. Sounds great, but something must be missing… right? Right? Right!? Guardian angel “Mike the Angel” (John Ratzenberger) is sent by God to dispatch Ben to a more wholesome realm, where he never left Wendy and he gets to experience the richness of family life. Through Ben's eyes, we learn that love is more important than money… but money definitely helps a lot!
