November 05, 2019 Episode 141: Kanyevangelicals
This week, a bewildered JP and an amused Father Chuck talk about Kanye West's latest album. Ol' Yeezy recently became a Born Again Christian, and his latest album, JESUS IS KING is the first album he's recorded since said conversion. Naturally, they give their thoughts on the album, the legitimacy of Kanye's conversion, and what exactly this means for the Christian world, Millennials, and the future of Kanye's career. It's like a bonus Music Mayhem episode, you see. Also, because it's a JP and Father Chuck episode, you get some Disney talk at the top of the episode. Y'all know how it is.

October 23, 2019 Episode 140: VSCO Boys
THIS WEEK...
Well, we were going to talk about the very broad and not at all controversial philosophical topic of "TRUTH" but instead we recorded an entire episode where JP expresses his love for the Kevin Williamson filmography, Father Chuck goes toe-to-toe with Martin Scorsese on defining cinema, and Matt tells it like it is about Hobbes & Shaw: A Fast and the Furious Story.
We also talk about Father Chuck's recent pilgrimage to Disney's Galaxy's Edge, VSCO girls, and make some White Claw jokes. Pretty basic stuff here, folks. We know, you missed us.

September 11, 2019 Episode 139: Monuments & Chill
In case you haven't heard, your moderator JP is a young, single fella living as a bachelor in rural Oklahoma and has decided to give the Online Dating Scene a try. In this episode the Masters of Divinity talk about dating apps, their first dates with their spouses, and their collective thoughts on dating and relationships in general (and Josh Harris is only mentioned once, amazingly). In addition there's also some fun talk about podcasting and YouTubing.
We're still working out a solid release schedule. We apologize for the inconsistency, but the three of are approaching different stages in our lives and it's proven to be a little difficult to keep up with the podcast while navigating transitional periods, but we promise we'll keep producing episodes as often as we can, so thanks for hanging tight with us and listening!

August 21, 2019 Episode 138: The Dream of the 90s are Alive in Country Music
THIS WEEK...
Father Chuck and Matt are together recording and I think this is some kind of riff episode? They start talking about country music, then 90s philosophies and trends, then a lot of talk about post-modernism, malls, mall culture, the GAP gets some lip service and uh, y'know what, JP wasn't present during the recording so the very concept of moderating a discussion is played with pretty fast and loose, BUT HEY! It's still a fun time! Matt goes into depth about why he loves country music, Father Chuck finds layers of meaning in 90s mall culture, and it's just a MoD free-for-all. A MoD-off if you will. Press play and don't look back!

August 13, 2019 Episode 137: Once Upon A Fixed Point in Time
Quentin Tarantino's latest flick plays it fast and loose with history, and this inspires some discussion on revisionism and nostalgia for JP and Father Chuck. In Once Upon A Time...in Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino's latest film explores 1968 Los Angeles and addresses an historical event that impacted the history of cinema, pop culture, and the counter culture. This got JP and Father Chuck thinking about our culture's obsession with nostalgia and how its manifested in our entertainment, as well as our own feelings towards our desires to change the past.

June 26, 2019 Episode 135: "Alan!"
JP and Father Chuck are freed from the shackles of a long and perilous Music Mayhem. So what do the Masters of Divinity talk about now?" One word: Alan! Listen folks, Music Mayhem was really hard and we just wanted to cut loose, let our hair down and talk about things like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron and our visions for the perfect Jurassic Park sequel. In other words, it's a JP and Father Chuck riff-sesh! So, look, crack open a La Croix and let the sound of our voices wash over you as we talk A LOT about what's on our minds.

June 18, 2019 Episode 134: The Wheel of Mayhem -- A Beautiful Lie by Thirty Seconds to Mars
In the final installment of this year's Music Mayhem, the crew let's fate decide on which album they'll be listening to.
We wanted to end Music Mayhem with something out of the ordinary, so we came up with the Wheel of Mayhem. It's a very basic spin-wheel/wheel of fortune contest. Each of us chose two albums, one good album, one bad album, we threw the titles up on the wheel, and we gave it a spin. We want to shroud the episode in as much mystery as possible, so if you want to know what we end up listening to, you'll just have to press play! We hope everyone enjoyed this year's epic edition of Music Mayhem. We all had a blast and hope that next year will be even bigger, bolder, and mayhemm-y.

June 11, 2019 Episode 133: Music Mayhem -- Father Chuck Listens to Celebrity by NSYNC
Music Mayhem is on its way out this year, so why not subject Father Chuck to NSYNC one last time?
This week, while Moderator JP is out for the week, Matt and Father Chuck dive deep into NSYNC's very last album: Celebrity.
Celebrity was a vastly different album that was created by the vocal group, as it featured songs produced and written by actual members of the group, as opposed to being mass produced like previous entries. Matt felt this would be an important distinction for NSYNC, and thought it deserved Father Chuck's attention. Will this album change Father Chuck's mind on the popular boy band? Listen to find out!

June 04, 2019 Episode 132: Music Mayhem -- Definitely Maybe by Oasis
The best thing about Music Mayhem is discovering new music that somehow eluded you your whole life. So far on Music Mayhem, when our podcasters select an album, it's an album that they normally have a personal connection with. Some of these albums we grew up with, some we discovered for the first time recently and HAVE to share with the world what we think about it, but this time around, for his episode, Moderator JP wanted to select an album he'd never heard before, from a band he'd never been a fan of.
And that's how we ended up listening to Definitely Maybe, the debut album of britpop legends Oasis. JP only had a few short weeks to not just listen to and deeply analyze the album, but to also become somewhat of an Oasis pro, since the group as a whole is not terribly familiar with the band.
So we hope you enjoy this episode, as we all try our best to appreciate and take a close examination of what's considered to be one of the greatest British rock albums of all time, and we hope you'll take the journey with us and have a listen to Definitely Maybe by Oasis.
