Popcorn Theology

We take a little journey this week, a journey far from home. This flick is super hard to talk about without spoilers, not just for this film but also for Avengers: Endgame... so listener discretion is advised!

The film made us think about the tension between rest and responsibility, the idea of 'fake news' and the court of public opinion, and a lot more! We hope you enjoy the discussion!

Join Richard and David as they circle back around to cover last year's Ready Player One, which was the film chosen by our Patreon supporters for this month!

The movie seems to have grown on both of us a bit on our recent second viewing, and it definitely provided us some good things to kick around and discuss!

We referenced an article from Reel Spirituality, which can be checked out right here.

Richard and James explore the themes of all three episodes from the latest season of Netflix Exclusive Black Mirror. The show is known for showing us the dangers in technology.. so where does this season take us?

Richard and James are joined once again by Kat this week to discuss the new Amazon miniseries Good Omens!

A theme of this discussion seems to be, 'Insight mixed with nonsense' as the show seamlessly continues to jump from insightful line or concept to outright nonsense or blasphemy.. So please, don't be a mindless consumer on this one!

Discussion begins with our thoughts on the book and show and then dovetails into discussions on God's sovereignty (or His ineffable plan, if you will), free will, and the question of whether or not God wishes us to sin against Him. You'd be surprised just how much C.S. Lewis comes up!

It's a monster mash of biblical proportions! Join James and Kathryn (and a couple crazy kaiju who crash the party) as they examine surprisingly deep ideas that hatch from Godzilla's latest epic.

From coping mechanisms in the wake of loss, to what the world looks like when we abandon faith and God, this movie's themes roar as loud and brash as the titular lizard. Enjoy!

We recently discovered this recording of David and James talking about Cloverfield, the penultimate film of Monster MAY-hem.

We aren't sure what happened to them after discussing this 2008 found footage film picked by our Patreon supporters, but perhaps some clues exist within this audio file.

You decide.

Monster MAY-hem continues this week as we dive into The Fly (1986) - you know, the one starring Jeff Goldblum!

How does such an older movie hold up today? Was this the role that sort of propelled Goldblum to stardom?

The movie does provide us some ideas to kick around as well! What sets mankind apart from the rest of creation? What does it mean to be 'human'?

Drink deep, or taste not the plasma spring!

James and David... if they really ARE who they say they are... examine the John Carpenter classic THE THING in our continuing month of Monster MAYhem!

Fear, paranoia and mistrust emerge as key themes, as well as the loss of our own identity. They are joined this week by Kathryn Harleman as Richard has inexplicably gone missing... (cue ominous music).

Come along with us this month of May, or as we have dubbed it May-hem. We're going to be covering several monster movies, including one chosen by our Patreon supporters, and then capping it off with the newest Godzilla film.

This week, we kicked all this off by talking about Kong: Skull Island!

Join us for this special, super-sized episode of Popcorn Theology! You really couldn't expect us to cover a movie that is three hours long and caps off 22 films over more than a decade without running a little long, right?

We had to take some time to discuss the entire MCU to this point, where it is at and where it is heading, as well as our favorite moments and maybe less favorite moments from this capstone film.

But then we did also dig into some of the deeper themes of the story! From self sacrifice and growth/maturity to the psychological danger of hope and the idea of 'being who we are supposed to be.'

We think you'll really enjoy the discussion; at any rate, we enjoyed having it!
