This week on Have We Got a Show For You, Mike and Liz sit down with Paige McBride to unpack the 2008 VeggieTales episode, Tomato Sawyer and Huckleberry Larry's Big River Rescue.

We get into the mechanics of Mark Twain for a talking vegetable audience, boring books for girls, chattel slavery, the Lost Cause narrative, and the American Literary canon.

Griffin Bedell AKA Lecture Hall joins Mike and Liz to discuss Gideon Tuba Warrior. This episode is about having faith that God will provide for us, and adapts the true story of George Mueller and bible story of Gideon. Griffin gives his thoughts, Liz has mixed feelings, Mike keeps singing the silly song for the episode "Lance the Turtle."

Carson Elmore returns to discuss the return of Larry-Boy! In this episode he battles against temptation in the form of the wickedly fabulous Bad Apple. They discuss accountability, British comedy, ingénue rhubarbs, and Madame Blueberry's career in politics. 

Writer, actor, podcaster and Sherlockian Lee Shackleford joins Mike and Liz to discuss "Sheerluck Holmes and the Golden Ruler". He also discusses his off-broadway play, Holmes and Watson, his uncredited work on Star Trek TNG, his upcoming documentary A Train Near Magdeburg, as well as his faith background as a Unitarian and history with the Church of Christ. 

Mike and Liz present a post Easter (or pre Easter if you're orthodox) Special where they discuss the episode An Easter Carol as well as the story of Easter, the nature of evangelism, Liz's experience with Jesus through media, and the hope of Easter. 

On the Passover special, Mike and Liz have local actor, director, and theology student Ezra Brown on the podcast to discuss Moe and the Big Exit. On this episode they discuss the "descendants of Little Joe," the triumphant return of Boyz in the Sink, and how Liz's favorite character from Torah has been turned into a buffalo in this episode.

This was a long time coming... Liz is finally able to take in the synthesis of LOTR and VeggieTales. Frankie from Red Cow Entertainment joins Mike and Liz to discuss Lord of the Beans. They discuss Tolkien (a lot... like a whole lot...), faith, community, and a lesson in using your gifts. 

Join Mike and Liz as they are joined by fellow comedian and broadcaster Michael McCall! In this episode they discuss the story of Samson, the challenge of loving your enemies and overcoming bullies. It gets pretty deep in this one, but there are still plenty of references to Monty Python and Lord of the Rings so don't worry. 

This week Mike and Liz are joined by Finn of the Unofficial VeggieTales Podcast! They discuss the episode "Duke and the Great Pie War," a... "loose" retelling of the story of Ruth and Naomi as well as Miriam and the baby Moses. Liz rigorously reviews each adaptation comparing to the stories from Torah, Finn talks about his memoires of the episode, and Mike talks the blues.
