Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we talk about the 1982 movie Tron. We see how the relationship between the programs and the users is a reflection of the relationship between ourselves and our creator. The MCP becomes a distortion of who he was created to be by his search for knowledge and power. But when we have a relationship with our creator, and do the things we were designed to do, we experience a joy even in doing hard things. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, in anticipation of Equalizer 3, we’re talking about the Equalizer. Robert McCall reflects many aspects of the work of Jesus—he responds to people who are powerless against the oppression they experience because he’s a man who can do something about the evil that exists. How do you become a knight in shining armor in a world where knights no longer exist? You gotta be who you are in this world, no matter what. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we get you ready to go back to school with Mr. Holland’s Opus. Life is what happens when you’re making other plans. We make plans, deciding that we have to accomplish something to call our life a success. We ask the wrong people if our work and our lives matter. But if we focus more on who we can connect to today and less on what we did not achieve, it’s the people who create the symphony of our lives. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we discuss the themes from 2001: A Space Odyssey. The best science-fiction awakens our sense of wonder, and this movie reveals our desire to be awed. We find a longing deep within to discover something transcendent which is in constant tension with our yearning for a place to find home. In God, we find a person who is beyond anything that we can comprehend, who also draws us into an intimate relationship with Him. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

About Mike

A Jerry Jenkins’ Your Novel Blueprint graduate, Mike wrote the acclaimed Apocalypse Then: American and Japanese Atomic Cinema: 1951-1967, which received an NPR endorsement. Magazines he’s written for include Movie Milestones, Wonder, G-FAN, and Scary Monsters. He’ll soon shop The Perfects, his first Christian science fiction book, to agents and publishers.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we enter the Planet of the Apes extended universe with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It doesn’t matter how utopian you think your society will be, someone will always screw it up. When we use fear and anger as motivation, we turn militaristic in our approach to others. And we see how busyness can blind us to the needs of others. Get your hands off you, you filthy ape, and join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we conclude our Toy Story series with Toy Story 3. Times of tragedy and trauma can cause us to misinterpret the heart of God. Many times we turn to control the situation, looking for a world without owners, a world free from rejection. As we, and the toys, discover, in building our own idea of heaven, we find ourselves in prison, slaves to the world we created. Grab your tissues, and let’s discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we continue our three part series with Toy Story 2. Corey and I talk about how, just like Woody, we have God’s name written on our souls, even when we feel old, abandoned, and forgotten. Like a missionary, Woody gets sent to people who need to be rescued. But he only sees two options—leave them behind and return to Andy, or join them to live life in a glass box. It’s only when Buzz shows up that his true purpose becomes clear, and it’s the same as every follower of Christ—to invite others to join our family. You’ve got a friend in me, so join me as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Corey and I begin our three part series, opening with Toy Story. At some point in our lives, we all feel like either Woody or Buzz. Like Woody, we fear rejection, struggling to believe we are still beloved. Or we can be like Buzz, who doesn’t have a true grasp of his identity, either believing he is more important or less important than he was designed and created to be. But once they grasp the truth of who they are, they find peace and joy in the presence of their master. To infinity, and beyond—join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, Britt and I discuss the movie To End All Wars. The POW camp represents the places in our lives where we feel helpless, where injustice occurs. When that happens, we can respond by our human nature, or empowered by the grace of the gospel. When we experience tragedy, injustice, helplessness and loss, we find out if the words of Jesus are hyperbole or the true way to find life. Join us as we discover God’s truth in this movie.
