What can we say? I mean, you witnessed how hype the PopCR crew was for Dune: Part 1, right?! Dune: Part 2 doesn’t disappoint. More intrigue. More alien space worms. More important theological implications that need unpacking. Check it out, we know you won’t be disappointed.

The PopCR gang is back at it again, this time with an episode designed to hit you right in the feels. (Note: Pop Culture Redemption will not actually hit you, and Pop Culture Redemption cannot hit you, it is a podcast, not a person). In today’s episode, the show is taking a look at what is already turning out to be one of the biggest animated box office hits of all time, INSIDE OUT 2! It’s so big, we had to bring on a guest to give additional perspective and insight! Welcome back to the show Priscilla Poettker!

In today’s episode, the gang is diving into John Krasinski’s movie “IF.” A fun-loving movie celebrating childhood imagination, “IF” leads the audience on a young girl’s personal journey of handling loss and the fear of loss through the help of her imaginary friends (“IF”). Also, SO MANY CAMEOS! So pull up a chair and let’s have a chat on how God is at work in this movie.

Welcome back to Pop Culture Redemption! We’re kicking off Season 2 with a nice small little album called “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.” Taylor Swift’s newest album set a Spotify record of 300 million streams in a single day, so the fellas at PopCR thought it would be culturally applicable to review the album from a Christian perspective. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Welcome to Pop Culture Redemption, a podcast determined to help the Church have better vision for God’s working in Popular Culture. This week, in honor of April Fools Day, we flipped the script. Instead of “Pop Culture Redemption,” we will instead dive into “Christian Culture Condemnation.” With a more prophetic tone, Connor, Jacob, and Jordan draw on inspiration from the popular Christian card game “Cards Christians Like” to discuss what needs to change within American Christian culture. Zach Fleming returns to guest star on the podcast. Topics include posting your quiet time on social media, celebrity pastors, the professionalization of worship, and so much more. You won’t want to miss it!
