What is the difference between fitting in and truly belonging? Welcome to 'Schlock Fest' where we choose hidden gem movies that can help us live a meaningful story. Next up is Derrick's pick, a direct-to-streaming satirical-romance called EMO THE MUSICAL. We explore the similarities between Emos and Christians in their quests to find belonging and authenticity. Derrick's wife Tori joins the conversation to share the many ways this film mirrors their romantic relationship.
