Popcorn Theology: Recent Episodes
Popcorn Theology
Popcorn Theology is a podcast where entertainment and theology meet. We look at film and TV, both new and old from a Biblical perspective, enjoying the arts to the glory of God. Join in on the conversation!
Is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire demonic? Enjoy David and Marcus' popcorn discussion and hot takes takes warmer than dragon's breath. We dive deep into the biblical imagery, such as Harry's Christ parallels. We also navigate the maze of the inverted Christian symbolism around Voldemort's return. Remember C.S. Lewis (I mean, uh, Cedric)!

Kick the tires and light the fires, big daddy! Our Patron Saint Supporters voted for us to launch a mindful consuming assault on this alien invasion classic from the '90s, and three disparate hosts from across the country converged to converse on this patriotic summer blockbuster. Did James think the film was fresh or stale? Did Eric think it had anything meaningful to say? Did Miles truly get abducted by aliens? Let's just say… we will not go quietly into the night!

Is Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey great and captures the themes of Homer's epic or does he update it too much for modern sensibilities? Or does it land somewhere in the middle? Eric is joined by Dr. Paul Marchbanks @diginthedirt, and Bridget to discuss the deep and lasting themes of The Odyssey and Odysseus' journey home.

Raise your flags, grab your flintlocks and follow James and Eric as they take aim at this patriotic piece of cinema and make their declarations about the film's themes, from parenthood and principles to a Christian view of vengeance and justice. Has this historical fiction gone stale, or does it remain an aspirational tale worth revisiting and recommending?

Our hosts were disappointed with this movie, but you won't be with this episode. Jam and Miles dive into this messy movie to pull out the themes and redeemable moments. This movie invites an exploration of finding one's home, seeking justice, and what makes a heart morally bright enough to choose good even when we don't want to. The god shaped hole is large in a world where one is called to be "good."

Full Disclosure? Some of us think this film should be renamed "Disappointment Day", while others are more charitable. "Listen" to what we loved, hated or had mixed feelings about as James and Miles are joined by VERY special guest Dr. Paul Marchbanks, professor of literature and film at California Polytechnic State University.

Have you seen Shrek's face? Are you a believer? Shrek turned 25 this year and yet the humor - and deeper narrative threads - feel like they haven't aged a day. James looks into this swamped franchise and sees the ugly truth of fairy tales and friendship, why we should probably listen when an ass is talking, and most importantly why we shouldn't be a Farquaad.

This week our Patreon Saints sent us back to the year 2000 to enjoy a classic comedy starry Brendan Fraser. Bedazzled is one of the many movies about the Devil that came out at the turn of the millennia. It may be a bit "one note" but it is very fun and it gave us the opportunity to dispel a few common myths about Satan. We explore the value of having a friend who listens to you (even if it's Elizabeth Hurley playing the devil) and how important it is to be sober minded and watchful because the Devil prowls like a lion seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Watch the episode here.

20 years ago we found out what kind of shoes the Devil wears, this year we will find out if the Devil can survive changes in the new media landscape. Join Rory and Miles, who have minimal fashion sense, but an impeccable sense for film and theology as they discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2. They dissect how the world of high fashion conflicts with a Christian worldview, how our antagonists seek to defend the good, the true, and the beautiful and how this sequel creates a bit of growth in our main characters as they wrestle with their own imperfection.

Season One was called "Born Again" but definitely had labor pains; join us as we take the pulse of Season Two and discuss the highs and lows of Season Two, where it recaptures the magic of the original series and where it blindly stumbles.

Behold! We send James and Eric out as mindful sheep among mindless wolves. You've been summoned to consider the case of what many consider a film and theology classic - is it the best depiction of the Devil ever put to film? Are the temptations in this cautionary tale worth the spot-on portrayal of how our spiritual enemies assail us, or should objections be sustained?

In anticipation of the reboot, enjoy this re-release of our Classic Scrubs episode!
Listen up newbie, our episode on Scrubs may be the best that ever came through this dump. Miles was the first and only podcaster James and David ever met who loved this show as much as they do. And you can forget about this show being just an exceptional "sitcom". Fact of the matter is, it's an exceptional treatise on life under the sun, period. That's why people gravitated toward it, and that's why we review it. Theology-Five! We discuss several themes that run throughout the show, but these are the episodes that featured most prominently in the episode:
101 – My First Day 115 – My Bed Banter & Beyond 208 – My Fruit Cups 314 – My Screw Up 504 – My Jiggly Ball 614 – My No Good Reason 818 – My Finale

In our third visit to Pandora hosts James and Miles explore Avatar: Fire and Ash. This time the Sully family wrestles with the loss of their oldest son while running from the reincarnate Colonel Quaritch who has teamed up with a rival Navi clan known as the fire people. It's refreshing to see a blockbuster movie that encourages people to have faith rather than depend on their own materialistic understanding to get through life. Our heroes must face their own internal struggles while even our antagonists are called to repent and turn to their god.

Detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back in this sequel to the modern day fable Zootopia. This time they'll have to go outside the law in order to uncover a crime that reaches down to the foundations of Zootopia itself. On this podcast James and Miles unpack how Zootopia reminds us of the Cristian hope of world peace brought by the messiah. They also discuss the motives of our hearts. Do we work for something to prove or strive for something worth dying for? Finally we discuss the ever present sin that threatens Zootopia, killed Jesus, and lurks in the human heart.

This episode could change you for good. Miles, James, and Kat are back to finish what they started in episode 369, returning to Oz to cover Wicked: For Good. This sequel finishes the original story and looks to be one of this year's most successful films, but is it "good"? Take a look with us below the surface, otherwise this beautifully shot, catchy movie may trap you with its cynical message about propaganda, truth, and the deep desires of the human heart.

Enjoy the re-release of this classic Popcorn Theology episode:
Zootopia is on the menu this week, and we talk about the good and bad messages behind the film, thus exploring why it can be controversial. The movie deals with subject matter that is much deeper than your typical children's movie – racism and prejudice, for instance. There are also a number of points that could be less than helpful, depending on how one views the story. Maybe you have a strong opinion about the movie. Maybe not. Either way, we hope the episode is interesting to you.

The hosts saddle up a pale horse and head West to bring a reckoning to the classic 1993 Western: Tombstone. With guns blazing, we explore the themes woven into the story of Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and the showdown at the O.K. Corral.
From justice and reckoning to loyalty and friendship, Tombstone offers more than just cowboy bravado. We unpack Ringo’s haunting line from Revelation and how God uses instruments in his reckoning. We also take a closer look at Wyatt and Doc’s powerful friendship and what true friendship looks like through a biblical lens.
Be our Huckleberry and join us as we examine this iconic Western from a Christian worldview. 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.

Join David and Jam as they delve into Episode 2: Through the Valley. Both of the themes that they discuss are two sides of the same coin. What does Vengeance do to a man, how might it corrupt morals? What ground does anyone have to stand on when it comes to morals, do you have a foundation that would withstand? How is Forgiveness the stronger path, and the opposite of vengeance?

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. Rest assured they found opportunity for mindful conversation in the areas of deception/masks and a surprisingly redeemable pattern for relationships in Fisk and Vanessa. Watch the episode here.

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.

Join James and his suspiciously hairy guest-host, werewolf aficionado and horror movie regular Joe Thorn, as they scratch below the surface of this movie and see if it’s transformative (or if it just bites). Themes of curse, sins of the father, and fraying families provide topics to sink your teeth into. Whether you loved or loathed the film, this episode will have you howling! Watch the episode here.

New Year, New View... this month, we're exploring films that remade, and improved on, the original. James and David… if they really ARE who they say they are… examine the John Carpenter classic THE THING in this legacy episode from 2019. Fear, paranoia and mistrust emerge as key themes, as well as the loss of our own identity. They are joined this week by Kathryn Harleman as Richard has inexplicably gone missing… (cue ominous music).

Can horror be beautiful? 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. A questionable sacrifice play, the myopia of science, and broad brush portraits of Christ and AntiChrist emerge from this Victorian horror. Keep the crosses close, things might get bloody… Watch the episode here.

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.

"It shows you things... horrible things.” Our Patron Saint supporters sent us a distress signal and we sent two Popcorn Theologians to check if there’s any life left in this film, reappearing from its cinematic origins in 1997. What they find has scared lapsed churchgoers back to their faith, and surprised many sci-fi fans with an unexpected journey into the supernatural. Will Eric and James survive, or will this frightening film be their last assignment? Join us and find out… Watch the video episode here.

Do you like scary movies? This week, our “In The Lobby” materializes from the mist with “Christians on Horror”. Novelist Mike Duran emerges from his coffin as the hairy, howling Pastor Joe Thorn claws his way into the conversation, moderated by our host and horror expert James Harleman. Over the coming weeks we’ll delve into the controversy surrounding an oft-misunderstood genre: what are the attractions, the objections, the redemptive aspects, and our hosts’ favorite horror films for those who want to see and understand scary movies mindfully. Watch the episode HERE.
Mike Duran has literally written the book on this subject: check out Christian Horror: On the Compatibility of a Biblical Worldview and the Horror Genre and his horror books and more at Amazon.com. Visit his website mikeduran.com

Eric and Maddy cover one of the more controversy inducing shows in recent memory. Does this show have anything compelling to say? Is it good? Is it bad? or does it commit the worst story telling sin: being boring?
Wherever you land on these questions there are still many themes to receive and redeem and a good reminder that there is a wind that will carry believers far beyond the reaches of the enemy and the enemy can never follow.

Like the ghost, this episode has the most as they discuss the cultural impact of Lydia Deetz and goth subculture, the movie’s skewed view of the afterlife, and the extremes of non-belief regarding spirits versus an unhealthy interest in them.

You’re probably thinking “Why would you review THESE movies?” Well, underneath the exaggerated reputation and some admittedly objectionable content are two films about family, legalism, judgment, underestimating love, and more. Also murders, explosions, and a tongue that surely personifies James 3:6. But James and Greg jump in the deadpool and dare explore what we can reject, receive and redeem. Will they stick the superhero landing? You decide.

This episode will shake you out of your fugue state! Hopefully Kat won’t choke on the themes as she joins James and David for a look at the sophomore year of this acclaimed show. James dares to say something negative about this season, David and Kat examine the escalation and ripples of temptation and sin, and the crew discuss a pride so great it can’t accept charity. What else might they fish out of the narrative pool? Or will it all come crashing down on their heads?

How are Christians to live in a world where humans can be genetically engineered and discrimination is down to a science? Using the world of Gattaca, the hosts discuss the ethical use of genetic engineering, how the gospel frees you to live in God's favor, and why a Christian worldview is necessary to holdback the excesses of man's tampering with nature. So put your fate in the hands of your trust podcast hosts and not the Hollywood director.

Put on your stillsuits and join David, Jam, and Maddy as they hitch a ride on the cinematic epic, Dune: Part Two. Much like Part One, This long-awaited film is rich in visual spectacle, narrative complexity, and theological discussion.

Do you like our owl? Miles and James open their VK briefcases and give this milestone science fiction film the old PT test, probing with deep questions about empathy, consent, creators, prejudice, and inevitable decrepitude. Will they have enough time for James to settle – once and for all – the long running speculation about Deckard? Time… enough.

Join James and Kat for a special episode from stately Harlemanor as they look at the underrated and overlooked fun film that kicked off 2024! Matthew Vaughn’s bombastic, eclectic action-adventure is a romantic comedy for people who don’t like romantic comedies, and also explores foundation themes of myth, caricature vs. reality, identity, and sin.

Our opinions differed on the show itself, but we remained united in our fight against the dark forces of mindless entertainment. Rings of power inspired discussions on the honorable choice to help one another, the struggle against evil, the hope of redemption, and the deceptive nature of spiritual evil. —

Our Patreon supporters voted so this week David, Richard and Miles covered the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey. This 1950 adaptation of the play gave us plenty to talk about. We also discovered that the movie is in the public domain, meaning that you can see it here for free! [link]
Harvey made us consider the value of a belief which makes a person more pleasant even if that belief may be a delusion. The main character Elwood also reminded us of the winsome attitude that Christ calls us to have toward others. Join us and maybe God can use us and this classic movie to help you walk a closer in step with Him.

This surrealist take on the real Nicolas Cage takes a hard look at the pitfalls of fame, self deception, self-obsession, and celebrity worship.

The Adam Project brings us much of the best of what you can expect from Ryan Reynolds. A movie intentionally in line with classics like ET and Back to the Future, the Sci-fi elements serve a story that is really about family, dealing with grief, the importance of our choices, and teaching us “to number our days that we may gain the heart of wisdom” as Psalm 90:12 says. So join Richard, David, and Miles as we work to “redeem the TIME” (Eph 5:16) on this episode of Popcorn Theology.

The Batman is here bringing us a look at a hero in the pattern of a biblical judge, an antagonist whose greatest weapon is exposing lies, and a corrupt city much like the ones God sent prophets to rebuke.

Our Patreon Saints have spoken and sent us overseas to enjoy some Anime, giving us a great opportunity to highlight general differences between eastern and western stories. Join David, James, and Miles as we cover A Silent Voice. This movie deals with sin, it’s consequences, and the nature of reconciliation, yet it’s emphasis on shame in a community of teenagers allowed us to bring out specific themes in scripture. Listen in and you may better understand how the Bible is an eastern book. Additionally you may become better equipped to deal with shame in your own heart as well as in your community.

This week Miles, James, and Kat discuss the movie adaptation of Redeeming Love. Written by Francine Rivers, an artist who purposefully incorporates her faith into her work. Join us as we explore this little story that intentionally points to the greatest story of all. We discuss how it’s artistry compares to typical faith-based films. How it uses sensuality to communicate its message and how it helps us understand an often neglected minor prophet in the Bible. Redeeming love shows us a picture of love that moves into dark places and transform broken people. — This episode is brought to you by Francine Rivers' new book, The Lady's Mine.

There's no doubt The Matrix was seminal in the origins of Popcorn Theology... so it was "inevitable" that we'd jack back in to see what themes the latest film resurrects. Whoa... with reviews in sharp opposition (like humans and programs?) Richard, James and Miles download their thoughts and spar on the film's revisit of classic themes, as well as coded messages about conversion, crises of faith, how salvation may not come as we expect in shape or timeline, and how we are supported in our time of doubt.

This third installment of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man brings together events that were above all else emotionally satisfying for our hosts David, James, and Miles. Spider-Man has always taught us that with great power comes great responsibility, but this story tests how far that responsibility goes. Listen in and you may see how Spider-Man exemplifies love of neighbor in the manner of our great God who rains blessing down upon the just and unjust alike.

This year’s Christmas Patreon pick. Join David, Miles, and James as they address the history of the real Santa Claus and explore the themes found within the Santa Clause.

One of our most anticipated movies of the year. For James and Miles following the descendants of an original Ghostbuster presented an opportunity to discuss the concepts of inheriting a grand prophetic calling. The main character Phoebe also reminded us of Josiah, the child king in the Old Testament who rediscovered God’s plans for his people and did what was right in the eye of God.

James, Richard and Kat are joined by our British correspondent Rory Thomas as they travel into the streets of London, past and present, and the mind of Edgar Wright in his surprisingly dark film Last Night in Soho. Themes of nostalgia, the connection between exploitation and human pride, and the differential between victim and villain are only some of the themes worthy of discussion in this mind-bending thriller.

Emotionally accessible characters, buckets of humor, and deep themes made this a must cover movie for us. This week David and Miles discuss issues of true identity, abuse, and sacrificial love. We even provide an overview of hair in the Bible. Additionally this episode includes a bite size segment of popcorn theology that you can share with kids or anyone you might want to introduce to what we do here on the podcast. Carry on the discussion with these questions:
- Who do I know that is different from me? How can I try to treat them with kindness and love, like Jesus?
- When have you seen someone make a sacrifice (or give up something they want) in order to help someone they love?
- Can you remember what God did to love you?
- Do I already know my father in heaven? Have I said “Yes” to Jesus’ free gift of life with Him?
- Jesus’ free gift is good news! Who do I know that needs to hear this good news?

Listen up newbie, our episode on Scrubs may be the best that ever came through this dump. Miles was the first and only podcaster James and David ever met who loved this show as much as they do. And you can forget about this show being just an exceptional "sitcom". Fact of the matter is, it's an exceptional treatise on life under the sun, period. That's why people gravitated toward it, and that's why we review it. Theology-Five! We discuss several themes that run throughout the show, but these are the episodes that featured most prominently in the episode:
101 - My First Day
115 - My Bed Banter & Beyond
208 - My Fruit Cups
314 - My Screw Up
504 - My Jiggly Ball
614 - My No Good Reason
818 - My Finale If you like what you are hearing and want to help support our show, consider pledging to support us over on Patreon!

Fortunately nothing surprises us anymore, so Miles Wallace Returns to join us for some Bat-banter (turns out James and Miles might have been bunkies at Prep School). What makes a Christmas movie, and what traumas make us wear masks?

We decided we would follow up our episode on The Rise of Skywalker by jumping directly into The Mandalorian, the first live-action television series set in the Star Wars Universe. This show has pretty much taken the internet by storm, evoking a mostly positive response along with a slew of great memes. But did it have anything worth discussing on our show? You bet! Join us this week as we think through why this show was well-received where other Star Wars ventures have been a split audience, what the show has to say about adherence to a government or creed, and more!

A Long Time Ago, in a theater 42 years away... the Skywalker saga began. James, Richard and David discuss how it ends, including themes of fall, repentance, rebirth, and how our perennial enemy tries to deceive us.

With the launch of Disney+, we decided that our Patreon supporters should get to choose ONE flick from the new service and force us to talk about it.. and they chose Atlantis: The Lost Empire! The movie actually provides us quite a bit to talk about - made family, unequal yoke to the world, why its a bad idea to get an 'ought' from an 'is' (I promise, that'll make some sense!), and more!

David and James stand ominously and stare in through the window of the horror genre at a defining movie that set the course for the slasher genre. They take a stab at understanding our film fascination with fear, and this particular slice of cinematic history in terms of what is says about morality and the "final girl" trope. Join them as they unmask Halloween and examine the film's ambiguities and seeming contradictions, thanks to our Patreon supporters and their pick for our podcast this month!

Richard and James are joined once again by Kat this week to discuss the new Amazon miniseries Good Omens!
A theme of this discussion seems to be, 'Insight mixed with nonsense' as the show seamlessly continues to jump from insightful line or concept to outright nonsense or blasphemy.. So please, don't be a mindless consumer on this one!
Discussion begins with our thoughts on the book and show and then dovetails into discussions on God's sovereignty (or His ineffable plan, if you will), free will, and the question of whether or not God wishes us to sin against Him. You'd be surprised just how much C.S. Lewis comes up!

How does such an older movie hold up today? Was this the role that sort of propelled Goldblum to stardom?

Join us for this special, super-sized episode of Popcorn Theology! You really couldn't expect us to cover a movie that is three hours long and caps off 22 films over more than a decade without running a little long, right?
We had to take some time to discuss the entire MCU to this point, where it is at and where it is heading, as well as our favorite moments and maybe less favorite moments from this capstone film.
But then we did also dig into some of the deeper themes of the story! From self sacrifice and growth/maturity to the psychological danger of hope and the idea of 'being who we are supposed to be.'
We think you'll really enjoy the discussion; at any rate, we enjoyed having it!

This month, our Patreon Supporters, like, picked Eighth Grade for us to review, and - um - we're so glad they did!
David and James go back to middle school with Kayla Day and have a chance to talk about identity, fathers, social media's impact on socialization, and how the heck this moving drama came from the mind of Bo Burnham.
It's a film worth seeing and finding folks to converse with about both the imminent, era-specific themes and the timeless ones it touches on.

Step through the door with David and James to another dimension as they cross the streams of CBS All-Access and enter The Twilight Zone, courtesy of new curator and narrator Jordan Peele.
We explore the first two episodes, "The Comedian" and "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet". Is the Twilight Zone relevant today? Is it timeless? From discussions of anthology storytelling to the many series TZ has inspired, we look at the phenomenon and what this newest incarnation has to offer out of the gate.

The flick has a surprising amount of things to look at - from the seven deadly sins as a form of 'villains', to made family vs born family, to the idea of finding a righteous person in this fallen world.
We also kicked around our thoughts on the movie in general, as this was Richard and David's first real exposure to the character! Check it out!

As this week saw us all celebrating April Fool's Day, the guys decided to take a look at one of the most 'foolish' characters in movie history - Navin Johnson!
What exactly does it mean to be 'The Jerk'? How does the movie portray a foolish person? How does the God describe a foolish person?

Join Richard and James this week as they discuss this month's Patreon-supporter selected film, Alita: Battle Angel!
This flick gets a lot of comparison and contrasting with last week's film, Captain Marvel, as it is also recent, female-led, and covers many of the same narrative beats. But which one does it better?
The film really gets us talking and we jump around from issues of eschatology and christology to father-figures and saviors. We think you'll really enjoy this one!

The three of us are joined by James' wife Kathryn to discuss the newest offering in the MCU, Captain Marvel! This has been a pretty polarizing film, so what did we all think of it?

Our Patreon supporters commissioned us to cover 2018's First Reformed this week! The movie is at once beautiful and weird, and we had a good time chatting about it.
Things considered: The church's witness and how it can be compromised, the contrast of the 'museum' with the 'megachurch' - Also, David rants about stewardship of the environment!

Join us as we try to tackle this incredibly unique special from the Black Mirror series, Bandersnatch! This is the Black Mirror episode (or is it a film?) where you get to basically 'Choose Your Own Adventure', and it definitely made for some good mind-blown moments.
Bandersnatch really puts the viewer into mind of the ideas of free choices vs predestination, and so that's where we camp out for some time. In what ways is our interaction with Stefan similar to God's interaction with man? In what ways is it very dissimilar?
We referenced this article throughout the episode by AJ Maynard. While we found general disagreement with it, what he was wrestling with was definitely something the episode wrestles with and he helped provide us a prompt to dive into the issues!

James explores why Shane Black’s third Iron Man film shouldn’t be dismissed, taking the themes of “heart” and “legacy” from prior films and concluding with “identity”. Tony then has to yield his obsessive desire for control to three helpers – representing his past, his present and his future – as the Iron Man trilogy “coincidentally” concludes at Christmas. Also, Richard reveals a secret more shocking than the Mandarin! Iron Man 3 Screenwriter Drew Pearce said “even though on one level what we’re making is an entertaining, moment-to-moment distraction for confection… that in some ways we are trying to tap into something a bit bigger as well… I feel like that’s what everyone should do in every form of entertainment.” Pretty much explains why we do Popcorn Theology!

While these co-hosts may go back and forth a bit in their opinion about just how good of a movie this turned out to be, there is no disagreement that this film gives us some really good things to think about and discuss!
Doubt vs Faith, the nature of conversations which have as their beginning an assumption of materialism, and more. We hope you enjoy!

This episode will probably feel like six-in-one... We apologize for how quickly we found ourselves moving through each chapter, but it sure was hard to talk about this film well in a reasonable length of time!
Richard and James take the week (sans David) to chat about the Netflix original Coen Brothers film, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs! This movie seems to have some deep ideas it is playing with, but as we find on the episode.. figuring it all out can be about as unlikely as a chicken that can do math!

This year, we asked our Patron Saints (that is, our supporters on Patreon!) to decide what movie we should cover for the Christmas holiday. They didn't disappoint.
Why not take a listen as we discuss the arguably Christmas film, Gremlins?This movie actually proves to be pretty rich in things to chat about at this time of year - greed, consumerism, and our need to place good gifts in their proper places, with their proper rules.
We promise this episode won't be, '...another reason to hate Christmas.'

Richard, David, and James were honored this week as they were joined by James' wife, Kathryn Harleman! Truth be told, with her apparent love for the film Amadeus... we're not sure we could have kept her away if we tried!
And good thing we didn't, as she helped us greatly in discussing the film! If you've been waiting for us to do another movie that is simply tailor-made for our podcast, this is definitely one of those movies!
How should we we react and respond when God chooses to use others in a way we wish He would use us? What is worse, self righteous hypocrisy or blatant sin and rebellion? Why does the wicked prosper?
We think you'll enjoy this one!

Richard and James were joined this week by Pastor Joe Thorn (known for the incredible podcast Doctrine & Devotion) to chat about 2017's remake of the Stephen King classic, It.
You may be surprised just how much substance there is to chat about when it comes to this movie about a killer clown of questionable origins! The idea and theme of Predator vs Prey, the problem of absenteeism (or worse, abusive) parenting, and more.

Richard, David, and James were hugely honored this week as they got the opportunity to speak with Phelim McAleer, one of the producers from the new film Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer. Not only that, we were also joined by filmmaker, author, and long-time friend of the podcast Brian Godawa for the discussion!
We chatted and picked the brain of Mr. McAleer about the film. What was it that got him first interested in the Gosnell murders and trial? What does he hope this film will accomplish, how would he like it to be remembered? What does he think of the response to the film so far - both positive and negative?
We had a great time hearing from him in this interview episode, and we think you'll find it interesting as well. Please, consider sharing this episode to your own social media outlets to help the film gain as much exposure as possible. It's not often a movie makes it onto our mainstream theater screens that so clearly upholds what is essentially a biblical value - human dignity and value.
We really think the movie is a well made and important film, and we strongly encourage our listeners to make every effort to support the film by catching it in theaters.
Learn more about the movie here.

Join Richard, David, and James as they are immersed in the newest Marvel superhero film, Venom! Fair warning folks.. we are almost always positive about films, even to a fault - defending flicks others might not, but Venom provided a heck of a challenge for us!
Despite its problems (which we probably chatted about too much - again, we're usually positive!), the movie did provide us good fodder for discussion eventually. Comparisons between Venom and Upgrade abound as we discuss how the two films handle the idea of an 'evil inside', or what we would call a 'sin nature'... We hope you enjoy the episode!
Be on the lookout for a VERY special second episode, dropping very soon (this week!)

Richard and James got together this week to talk about the very unique horror/court room drama film The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
This movie really provided us an opportunity to talk about some important ideas. Should believers enjoy films that deal with demonic plot elements at all? If so, is it possible for this enjoyment to go too far? We also got to discuss the ideas of spiritual vs physical explanations for the unbelievable, as this movie deals heavily with the question of mental illness and demonic possession.

This year, we have decided we will devote the entire month of October to a genre of film we have historically (mostly) neglected: the Scary Movie!
Scream felt like a fitting choice to jump in as it directly and explicitly deals with the genre in the film itself, providing us an excellent starting point for this month long journey. We think you'll really enjoy the conversation which jumped around between Horror movie tropes and themes, the rules of horror, and some decent points for reflection as believers.

In continuing the theme of films based on classic literature, David and James are joined by actor Jamie Costa to discuss The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). We talk about why revenge stories are so compelling, the biblical view of vengeance and justice, and Edmond Dantes as a Christ figure. We hope you enjoy!

To wrap up this theme month, the Patron Saints have voted for us to cover Bridge to Terabithia. This imaginative film led James and David to discuss childlike wonder, what it looks like to "overcome evil with good", the importance of biblical theology, grief, and culpability in sin. Take the rope swing and join us!

This week, James and David continue the theme of adulthood and forgotten childhood with Saving Mr. Banks, the 2013 story about the making of Mary Poppins. In this film, we explore love and loyalty for fictional characters, the sunny and rainy sides of life, as well as grief, forgiveness, and redemption. This film is a spoonful of sugar that helps these deeper truths go down... in the most delightful way!

Hoo-Hoo-Hoo-HOO! Grab your red balloon and bounce with David and James as they explore Disney's return to the 100-acre wood with Christopher Robin. This film follows a familiar formula of an adult man caught up in the concerns of the world, desperately needing a childlike refresher on what's truly important. How do we balance our most pressing worries in life with our need to rest and invest in others? Christopher Robin explores these themes with a distinctly British flavor (with a hint of honey).

In preparation for the release of "Christopher Robin", James and David are thinking happy thoughts and flying back in time to the 1991 classic "Hook".
This magical film explores several topics, including regaining child-like wonder, abdicating adult responsibility, the Christography of Pan, and the battle for the hearts of Peter's children.
To record this podcast, why, it was an awfully big adventure.

Bienvenidos!
This week, the Patron Saints (our patreon supporters) voted and introduced James and David to Disney and Pixar's Coco. This fun and vibrant film lent itself to a surprising amount of deep conversation, including the theology of Dia de los Muertos, "seizing your moment" at all costs, and the importance of family and remembrance.
We hope you enjoy!

This week, James and David team up to take on Ant-Man and the Wasp. We took a Goliath level look at the MCU and its pattern of balancing weight with levity, then we shrink down for some (quantum) analysis of the finer themes, including pride, foolishness, pain, salvation, and loving your enemies.

So tell me do you wanna know... what James and David thought of The Greatest Showman? Besides the amazing production quality, the film explores the highs and lows of chasing your dreams and gives some great imagery for discipleship and taking ownership of mockery. When it comes to this movie, this podcast is everything you ever want; it's everything you ever need, and it's here right in front of you... OK, I'll stop.

The guys were joined once again by Dr. Marcus Ross, paleontologist and professor at Liberty University, to discuss the newest offering in the Jurassic franchise - Fallen Kingdom!
This movie has been getting a lot of hate - but what did the guys at Popcorn Theology think of it? Regardless of how we feel about it, the call to be a mindful consumer remains. As such, we hope you enjoy our conversation about the film - both our feelings towards it as movie goers as well as the important ideas it prompted us to consider.

This week, we were sent back in time by our Patreon supporters with one express mission... to cover The Terminator! We wanted to continue with our theme of ethics, technology, human/machine coexistence, etc -- and this film is pretty much the genesis of much of these ideas in cinema.
In what ways does this story parallel biblical themes? In what ways does it clearly veer away from, or even invert, those same biblical themes? We talk about the ideas of technology as something to be feared - technology as control over man, or even as replacement for man. And a lot more!

This movie was of surprising quality in many areas and gave us a lot to talk about. Moral culpability, the sinful nature, comparisons to movies about demon possession, and more!

Richard, David, and James are joined by Dr. Marcus Ross, paleontologist and professor at Liberty University in order to discuss the classic and widely beloved film, Jurassic Park!
We chatted about what has caused this movie to stand the test of time. Dr. Ross managed to ruin Richard's childhood by dispelling some of the ways in which the film is scientifically inaccurate. We then jumped into the meat of the movie, discussing several themes the movie prompts us to consider - ethics and science being a key consideration!
We hope to have Dr. Ross back on with us in the near future in order to cover the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, so be sure to check back!

"If you come with us, you're in this life for good."
Big news this week, as Richard and David were joined once again by James Harleman - but this time, 'for good'! But wait, there's more! We were also joined by our regular Star Wars correspondent, as well as apologetic and origins guru, Dr. Jason Lisle!
Richard, David, James, and Dr. Lisle spent over an hour talking about the film. What did we like or dislike? What things worked? Did the actor become 'Solo' for us, or not?
We got into the meat of the movie as well, discussing ideas from debt and slavery to escapism and fantasy.

Once every month or so, our Patreon supporters get to make film suggestions and vote for which one they'd like us to cover on the podcast. This month, they commissioned us to discuss Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Richard and David have been meaning to talk about this movie for a while and were just looking for an excuse to watch it again! The film really deals with some deep subject matter, from relationship issues to Nietzsche and eternal recurrence. If that last one confuses you, it does us a little too..

This episode of Popcorn Theology is going to be a little different. We took a break from chatting up movies and television to talk with Derek Webb - a musical artist who has been around for a long time now and has had a very unique journey spiritually.
We appreciate Derek's willingness to come on the podcast with us to chat with us about some very serious and important subject matter. He was forthright about where he's coming from (as he no longer identifies as a Christian believer, at this time), but was gracious in hearing a little push back to his own position at the same time.
The conversation was honestly pretty emotionally laborious and taxing, at least for us. But it was also good to have, and we hope you enjoy listening to it - hearing from Derek himself where he's coming from, thinking through the consistency of our own biblical worldview, etc.

We hope you enjoy listening in as we chat about what we liked and didn't from the movie before diving into the deep end by chatting about how Thanos does and does not look like the biblical God, the idea of trading lives or sacrificing self for others, the omniscience of God and how it's totally not like Doctor Strange, and a bunch of other stuff!

We continued our trek through some of the earlier MCU films this week by discussing Captain America: The First Avenger! What were Richard, David, and James' initial reactions to this film when it dropped - and how do they feel about it today?
A lot of conversation about the nature of heroes in our art and how Captain America was a tricky hero to bring into the modern era - yet was nailed perfectly. Why do we tend toward heroes that are more 'like us' and less upright? Is it somehow related to our similar proclivity to humanize and/or sympathize with our villains?

Now a trilogy of films, we had a blast taking a look back on this initial introduction to the important character. There are a lot of themes in this one, including ideas of the prodigal son, being self-righteous, fatherly discipline, and more!

Richard, David, and James are planning to take the month to discuss some of the earlier movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - flicks that were missed previously because they were released prior to the beginnings of Popcorn Theology as a podcast. This week, we jumped into that plan by taking a look at the original Iron Man film from 2008!
This film really provides some of the most overt themes and obvious imagery, showing us a character who has a complete change of heart both metaphorically and physically. There's just a lot to talk about here for the mindful consumer. We hope you enjoy the discussion! Please share with your friends!

This week, our Patreon supporters got to decide what movie we would cover - and they chose that we take a moment to dive into a series we hadn't even touched yet on the podcast; The Planet of the Apes, specifically the first film in the newer movies. While Richard and David have a pretty limited experience with this series, James has seen all but the most recent movie.
The flick helps us take a look at a wide range of ideas, from working with others towards a common goal when our motivations are different to the role of ethics in scientific inquiry and progress.

Today we finish out our three week dive into Edgar Wright's films by taking a look at Scott Pilgrim vs the World! This was both David and Richard's first time watching this movie (we know, we know!), but it is a longtime favorite of James'.
We chatted about the unexpectedly star-studded cast, its very unique style, and then used the story as a spring board to dive into some of the Proverbs, to discuss how past relationships can still affect our present and future, and more! We hope you enjoy listening in!

Listen in as the movie prompts us to discuss themes within the Zombie genre, the idea of sorting life and priorities out, what it looks like to walk through life mindlessly, and even what albums we would (and wouldn't) throw at a Zombie!

This week, join Richard, David, and James as they kick off a month of Edgar Wright films! We start this multi-week event by looking at the incredible action/buddy cop/conspiracy/mystery movie, Hot Fuzz!
It can be a really bad thing to be worried about outward appearances when the inside of the thing is vile - it wasn't cool when the Pharisees did it, it isn't cool when the people of Sandford do it in Hot Fuzz, and its not cool when we do it.
What really is 'the greater good'?

Join Richard, David, and James as they take a long hard look into a Black Mirror. Specifically, the guys focus in on the book end episodes of the season: S4E1 USS Callister and S4E6 Black Museum.
This show offers a very dark (but perhaps honest?) look at human nature - not a show for the easily disturbed! We also must warn our listeners that the show can have some racy content, and this is very apparent during a quick scene in the Black Museum episode.
We hope you enjoy hearing us chat about human nature, the soul, the human tendency to cast ourselves as the main character of our own narratives, and much much more!

Richard, David and James (of Cinemagogue) chat about the critically acclaimed Edgar Wright flick, Baby Driver!
Conversation ranges from serious to silly, touching on: The idea of enabling the sins of others and whether or not that reflects on our own character, how the world tends to react when they perceive believers as being 'different' from them, music as a coping mechanism, using color in art, and our favorite Getaway Driver tunes!

This week, David and James were re-joined by Richard in order to discuss this year's Super Bowl - with a special focus on the ads that aired during the game!

Richard and David were super excited to get to continue Popcorn Theology's now three year tradition: having Dr. Jason Lisle (of Biblical Science Institute) on with us to chat about the newest Star Wars movie!
What did we think - what did we like, dislike? We chatted about just about all the major plot points and surprises. We also discussed one or two themes that seemed important throughout the film, but we'll let you listen to hear what those are.. wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie yet!

When we began our Patreon a few months ago, our goal was to release one exclusive episode per month chosen by and for our Patreon supporters. When we realized that was a little difficult on our schedules, our Patreon supporters graciously allowed us to begin releasing these exclusive episodes to the entire Podcast audience - while allowing them the ability to help us choose what to cover, once per month.
Now that this is our format, we want to begin dropping the previous exclusive episodes on our main podcast feed. This week, you'll get to hear the exclusive episode we had recorded on O Brother, Where Art Thou!
Honestly, I can't even remember where this conversation went... but here it is!

Each month, our beloved Patreon supporters get to choose one movie for us to cover in an episode of Popcorn Theology. When they heard that David had not yet seen The Goonies, their choice was quickly decided.
We did get around to chatting about The Goonies on this episode, but we may or may not have but definitely did start with Richard railing on Thanksgiving and David telling us what he got for his Thanksgiving Gifts (you heard that right.)
Once we got to the Goonies, we chatted a bit about the idea of 'adventure' and whether a desire for adventure is good or bad; the idea of settling for something less than what would truly satisfy us; and one of us may have said, 'Hey you guys!'

Richard and David went straight from the Movie Theater to the microphone this week, chatting about Justice League mere moments after having watched it for the first time. That can lead to some scatter-brained thoughts, but we had a good time nonetheless!
The movie prompted us to talk about a ton of things, ranging from the casual ( How did we feel about the film? Danny Elfman? The cast? Etc.), to some deeper subjects (such as the need for ethical dealings even when our enemy has no such need and the ways in which Superman continues to parallel the work of Christ.)

Richard and David got to watch Thor: Ragnarok this week, and went almost directly from the theater to the microphones. We talked about the difference in feel for this movie when compared with the other Thor films, the music and filmmaking choices as well as the particularly interesting cast, and more.
Then we got into some of the meat that exists in this story; the idea of the church being a people rather than a place, the concept of the God of the Bible seeming to change when looked at in the Old Testament vs the New, and more.

We chatted about contextualization vs compromise, longing for something our world can't actually satisfy, the idea of 'arguing someone into the Kingdom' vs conversion being a work of God Himself, and much more!

Is there a good reason for cultural engagement, or not?
-
Should a believer watch content which includes hyper sexuality or scenes of nudity?
-
What are some forms of entertainment Challies does enjoy?

We followed up the interview by having our 'Popcorn Theology Awards', or 'Poppies!' -- This was just a fun way for us to celebrate finally having hit triple digits.

This week we got to record a very special edition of Popcorn Theology, because we were joined by filmmaker Les Lanphere. You may know him as the host of the Reformed Pubcast, but now he has dropped an amazing documentary detailing the theology, origins, and resurgence of Calvinism. We want you guys to check it out, and we want you guys to hear this conversation where we got to chat him about about the movie.
We talked about why Les made the film, what his favorite moments from the process were, how he chose to handle the Reformed Resurgence/Mark Driscoll, and more! We even got to ask him when the Reformed Pubcast would be back on our podcast feeds - you don't want to miss it!

This week, we were encouraged by our Patreon supporters to discuss The Iron Giant.
We chatted about the obvious Christian imagery present in the film (and whether or not it was mimicry of Christianity, or of Superman, or of both), as well as the tool that is technology and whether it is a good or evil thing. We also got into the nature of the Giant, discussing the idea of 'choosing not to be a gun', and how that might relate to our own natures as fallen image bearers.
And more!

What did we think about this show - and given we didn't get an episode out on the previous show, what did we think of Iron Fist?
We discussed the themes that the show explored, the creative mis-steps it may have made as well as what parts resonated with us the most.

David is back! This week, Richard and David got to watch and then sit down to chat about Dunkirk, the new movie from Christopher Nolan. The film is definitely an interesting and unique take on things.
Conversation ranges from our opinions on the film, Nolan's use of time as a tool in his toolbox, the morality of telling lies for the good of another, the idea of true sacrifice vs forced heroism, and much more.

The Founder is available on Netflix and tells the story of the early days of McDonald's and the events that brought Ray Kroc to the head of the huge fast food business. What did Eric and Richard think about the movie? How messed up was Ray Kroc, what things did he do that were clearly shady?

The movie provides the backdrop for conversations about unconditional love, fate vs chance, the anger that unbelievers have toward the God they don't claim to believe exists, and much more.

Richard and David went straight from the theater directly to the recording studio (otherwise known as David's Spare Room) to chat about the phenomenal new Marvel flick, Spider-Man: Homecoming! This movie was a lot of fun, and in the area of discussion prompts it does not disappoint!
We got to chat about what it means when we say that our bodies belong to the Lord, being content with roles and seasons of life that seem less than spectacular, the balance between doing what is right and honoring authority that is placed over us when we disagree with their idea of what is best, and a lot more!

Richard and David are excited for the new Spider-Man flick, but before we get there.. we need to take a look at the classic series of Spider-Man films, beginning with the original.
The film presents us with many things to consider. Is this story, like any story worth telling, about a girl? Why should we do the 'right' thing - because it will go better for us, or simply because it is right? Who sets the standard of what is the 'right' thing? The Green Goblin seems to personify evil as being separate somehow from the human it inhabits.. in what ways is this true of sin? In what ways could it be said this is not true?
And a bunch of other stuff too! We hope you enjoy the conversation.
If you're interested, we took a look at a clip during this episode which was part of the original advertising for the movie and involved the World Trade Center. In the aftermath of 9/11, this ad wasn't used.. but it was definitely interesting. You can see it here.

This week, we got the honor of being joined by Summer White of Sheologians fame to discuss the film industry and feminism... No controversy there, right?
We learned what some of Summer's favorite films and shows are, then we got into a recent news story about the Cannes Film Festival involving comments made by Jessica Chastain.
Should the film industry go out of its way to make sure it has more women represented in the role of director, filmmaker, writer, etc? Should some sort of action be taken to ensure the percentage of females involved in this business is at a certain 'level'? What does the percentage, 'Only 7% of the top 250 films had women directors' actually tell us about the potential problem?
We even got to chat with Summer about how Christians (men and women both!) ought to view, interact with, and create stories, films, and more.
We hope you enjoy the conversation, whether you agree with our conclusions or not!
If you're interested in the original article that sparked some of this discussion, it can be found here.

Richard and David were joined once again by the viral internet sensation, known round the world for his excellent impressions, Jamie Costa! Jamie, as a Robin Williams super-fan, was excited to sit down with us to chat about one of Robin Williams classics - Mrs. Doubtdfire!
The conversation bounces around Robin Williams greatest movies, the nature of love as a choice or a feeling, the idea of selfless service that receives no credit but truly has the well being of others as the center of its motivation, and much more.

Richard and David were joined by the awesome James Harleman of Cinemagogue to chat about the newest offering in the world of DC Comics, Wonder Woman!
How did we all think the movie stacked up to the other DC movies and the rest of the comic book offerings that our culture has been baptized with in recent years? Does the movie promote a feminist agenda, or is that something that is more open to interpretation?
The movie prompts us to chat a good bit about the nature of wrath and grace, the 'goodness' of man, and more!

It took us awhile to get around to seeing this film! 10 Cloverfield Lane provides Richard and David with content that springboards them into some good conversation.
Can truth come from an undesirable source, and should we discount, accept, or be cautious of statements that come from suspect sources? How do unbelievers view God - how should we view Him? Does this film have anything to say about family dynamics or how men tend to view/should view women?

Richard and David were thrilled to be joined by Jonathan Pifer, an actual missionary to Ecuador, to chat about the 2005 film 'End of the Spear.' -- Have you ever wondered what has happened since the conversion of many of the Waodani people?
We chatted about the movie itself and got to catch up with Jonathan, as he caught us up on the work going on in that area to this day. We learned a lot about the continuing efforts there and discussed the actual events involving the missionaries then and now.

What was intended to be a conversation about the film version of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe becomes a more broad conversation regarding the Narnia series in general (though with a focus on this flick.)
Conversation such as the question of to whom our debt was paid when Christ died -- did Christ die to ransom believers from Satan, or to satisfy the wrath of God toward them? - We also chatted about the reaction different people can have to God, even among believers, as well as C.S. Lewis' classic argument of 'Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?'

We chatted about the casting and the movie in general, and then we used the movie as a discussion prompt to talk about a number of other subjects. Self-Deception, our own longing for resurrection, the nature of obsession and how it relates/is similar to idolatry, and a bunch of other stuff.

This week, Richard and David discuss this film and subjects such as the importance, authority, and power of Scripture, the proclivity by some people and groups to use the Word of God for their own selfish ends, and more.

This week, we had the huge honor of being joined - once again - by Dr. Jason Lisle in order to talk about this year's offering in the Star Wars universe! We had a blast chatting about the movie and got into some real deep discussions. Is there very a time when 'lying' is justified in the eyes of God? Is it possible to deceptively work from within an evil 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!
All these answers can be yours. Please share this episode around if you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas!

Zootopia is on the menu this week, and we talk about the good and bad messages behind the film, thus exploring why it can be controversial. The movie deals with subject matter that is much deeper than your typical children's movie - racism and prejudice, for instance. There are also a number of points that could be less than helpful, depending on how one views the story.
Maybe you have a strong opinion about the movie. Maybe not. Either way, we hope the episode is interesting to you.

What movies have shown 'magic' in the coolest way?

The absurdity of an atheistic worldview, and its logical consequences
-
Are faith and knowledge at odds with one another?

How did Christ deal with the sins of His people on the cross in a small period of time while those apart from Christ will pay for those sins eternally? (Too deep?)

What was the Protestant Reformation all about? The 2003 film, 'Luther' takes a really awesome look at the life and controversies surrounding the person of Martin Luther. What was it that prompted Luther to nail his 95 Theses and spark such a movement? What were some of the principles laying at the heart of this reformation? And more.
We're no church historians by trade, but we enjoyed the movie and getting to talk about it as two average Christians who are thankful for the Protestant Reformation.
Unfortunately, I can find no place online where you can stream the movie at this time. You can purchase the DVD of the film from Amazon however, and if you have Prime you'll get to see it in two days.

Take a listen to our first episode of PTV, a new series of content we will be releasing which focuses on individual episodes of television series. We chose to dip our feet in this week by looking at a highly philosophical episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Season 2, Episode 9, 'The Measure of a Man' tells the story of Data as he fights for his own right to personhood and choice. This episode is freely available on Netflix and leads us to talk about things such as what makes a person a person, how we ought to treat others and how we fail to treat others properly when we dehumanize them, and more.
We hope you enjoy this episode as well as this new line of content. Don't worry - we'll still be releasing content on movies as before!

Lord of the Rings is the fantasy series and for many The Fellowship of the Ring is the standard by which all fantasy films are measured. Richard and David talk about their love for the series, discuss the symbolism in the film (from various Christ-like characters to the one ring's many similarities to sin), and much more!

Richard and David take a look at the late 90's film about a TV Show in the 50's becoming the 60's... Pleasantville!

We hope you enjoy this episode.

Subject matter ranges from 'bad guys' as being valuable yet not endorsed, the unhealthy relationship between Harley and the Joker, the idea of humanity as being enslaved (either to Sin or to God), and much more.

This week, Popcorn Theology dives into a cult classic that also happens to be one of Richard's favorites. Join us as we talk about the movies two cuts (theatrical and director's, which feature vastly different endings) and also get into some deep topics. The subject for discussion includes jealousy, thinking of other human beings spiritually rather than just 'according to the flesh', the use of Scripture to justify wrong, poor self-image, and more!

Topics include the effects of the film, the various images of Christ's work that are evident in the story, and setting up leaders we look up to as idols in our lives which will inevitably fail... And more! We hope this episode both blesses and encourages you!

This week Richard and David got to talk about the great 1971 Musical, 'Fiddler on the Roof'! Do your traditions line up with your Biblical convictions or oppose them? Do your traditions help to stabilize your faith in God and devotion to Him and others, or do they get in the way? This movie helps us take a long, hard look at our own personal traditions and ways of life and hopefully consider them objectively.
Hope this blesses you all!

During our episode on Juno, we got carried away and a tad bit political even when it came to the subject of abortion. Rather than weigh down that episode, we decided to pull out a portion of that dialogue and upload it separately. This will also enable people who have not seen Juno to listen as well, as it's not really related to the movie at this point.
As mentioned in this little episode, if you want help thinking through abortion from a rigorous and consistent Christian worldview, Apologia Radio has many episodes that tackle just this subject well.

Though it's not the same without David, Chris did a great job. Take a listen!

This week, we go so deep we fall into limbo as we delve into the flick, "Inception". The film leads us to consider things such as presuppositional apologetics/the importance of worldview, the natural tendency of man to suppress the truth about God for a convenient lie, and more.

This week we were joined by previous guest Brandon Richardson, as we got into the film The Giver. We talked about the movie for awhile, but the conversation (Predictably?) spring-boarded us into a larger conversation about abortion.

This week, we took a bit of a different approach and instead of looking at a film or TV show we looked at a viral video that has been making the rounds on the normal social media outlets. In 'I'm a Christian, but I'm not...' we see a problematic view of Christianity espoused in order to earn the world's approval. The Bible has much to say about this, and we enjoyed watching the video and talking about it on this episode.

This week, we break the first rule. And the second rule.
Word to the wise, Fight Club has some serious questionable content. The film is rated R for "disturbing and graphic depiction of violent anti-social behavior, sexuality and language". This is the most risque film we have featured on our show thus far. As such, we wanted to include some timestamps for some of the questionable content in order that folks who so desire would be more able to skip over it. We also understand that for many, watching the film at all would go against personal convictions.
Nudity (quick frames): 32min, 2hr 16min
Sex scene: 48min
Sexual sounds: 53-55min
Fairly intense violence: 1hr 36min

This week, we get to take a look at the family animated film 'Big Hero Six'! We talk about sacrifice, compares Beymax to the Holy Spirit, talk a bit about idol worship, and then use one plot device in the film to launch into a conversation about the doctrine of regeneration as well as having unity as Christians even when we disagree on secondary matters. This was a lot of fun!
