Popcorn Theology

This month, our Patreon Supporters, like, picked Eighth Grade for us to review, and - um - we're so glad they did!

David and James go back to middle school with Kayla Day and have a chance to talk about identity, fathers, social media's impact on socialization, and how the heck this moving drama came from the mind of Bo Burnham.

It's a film worth seeing and finding folks to converse with about both the imminent, era-specific themes and the timeless ones it touches on.

Step through the door with David and James to another dimension as they cross the streams of CBS All-Access and enter The Twilight Zone, courtesy of new curator and narrator Jordan Peele.

We explore the first two episodes, "The Comedian" and "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet". Is the Twilight Zone relevant today? Is it timeless? From discussions of anthology storytelling to the many series TZ has inspired, we look at the phenomenon and what this newest incarnation has to offer out of the gate.

What strange providence that we'd get two 'Captain Marvel' movies in quick succession! Join us as we take some time to talk over the latest from DC in film, Shazam!

The flick has a surprising amount of things to look at - from the seven deadly sins as a form of 'villains', to made family vs born family, to the idea of finding a righteous person in this fallen world.

We also kicked around our thoughts on the movie in general, as this was Richard and David's first real exposure to the character! Check it out!

As this week saw us all celebrating April Fool's Day, the guys decided to take a look at one of the most 'foolish' characters in movie history - Navin Johnson!

What exactly does it mean to be 'The Jerk'? How does the movie portray a foolish person? How does the God describe a foolish person?

Join Richard and James this week as they discuss this month's Patreon-supporter selected film, Alita: Battle Angel!

This flick gets a lot of comparison and contrasting with last week's film, Captain Marvel, as it is also recent, female-led, and covers many of the same narrative beats. But which one does it better?

The film really gets us talking and we jump around from issues of eschatology and christology to father-figures and saviors. We think you'll really enjoy this one!

The three of us are joined by James' wife Kathryn to discuss the newest offering in the MCU, Captain Marvel! This has been a pretty polarizing film, so what did we all think of it?

Will God forgive us?

Our Patreon supporters commissioned us to cover 2018's First Reformed this week! The movie is at once beautiful and weird, and we had a good time chatting about it.

Things considered: The church's witness and how it can be compromised, the contrast of the 'museum' with the 'megachurch' - Also, David rants about stewardship of the environment!

Join us as we try to tackle this incredibly unique special from the Black Mirror series, Bandersnatch! This is the Black Mirror episode (or is it a film?) where you get to basically 'Choose Your Own Adventure', and it definitely made for some good mind-blown moments.

Bandersnatch really puts the viewer into mind of the ideas of free choices vs predestination, and so that's where we camp out for some time. In what ways is our interaction with Stefan similar to God's interaction with man? In what ways is it very dissimilar?

We referenced this article throughout the episode by AJ Maynard. While we found general disagreement with it, what he was wrestling with was definitely something the episode wrestles with and he helped provide us a prompt to dive into the issues!
