Popcorn Theology

Bienvenidos!

This week, the Patron Saints (our patreon supporters) voted and introduced James and David to Disney and Pixar's Coco. This fun and vibrant film lent itself to a surprising amount of deep conversation, including the theology of Dia de los Muertos, "seizing your moment" at all costs, and the importance of family and remembrance.

We hope you enjoy!

This week, James and David team up to take on Ant-Man and the Wasp. We took a Goliath level look at the MCU and its pattern of balancing weight with levity, then we shrink down for some (quantum) analysis of the finer themes, including pride, foolishness, pain, salvation, and loving your enemies.

So tell me do you wanna know... what James and David thought of The Greatest Showman? Besides the amazing production quality, the film explores the highs and lows of chasing your dreams and gives some great imagery for discipleship and taking ownership of mockery. When it comes to this movie, this podcast is everything you ever want; it's everything you ever need, and it's here right in front of you... OK, I'll stop.

What can The Karate Kid help us think through as it relates to mentoring and discipleship, committing to important projects/training/etc, and being able to trust the Lord even when we can't see how His plan is working out for our good (as is promised)?

The guys were joined once again by Dr. Marcus Ross, paleontologist and professor at Liberty University, to discuss the newest offering in the Jurassic franchise - Fallen Kingdom!

This movie has been getting a lot of hate - but what did the guys at Popcorn Theology think of it? Regardless of how we feel about it, the call to be a mindful consumer remains. As such, we hope you enjoy our conversation about the film - both our feelings towards it as movie goers as well as the important ideas it prompted us to consider.

This week, we were sent back in time by our Patreon supporters with one express mission... to cover The Terminator! We wanted to continue with our theme of ethics, technology, human/machine coexistence, etc -- and this film is pretty much the genesis of much of these ideas in cinema.

In what ways does this story parallel biblical themes? In what ways does it clearly veer away from, or even invert, those same biblical themes? We talk about the ideas of technology as something to be feared - technology as control over man, or even as replacement for man. And a lot more!

Join Richard, David, and James as we discuss the new, came-out-of-nowhere flick - Upgrade!

This movie was of surprising quality in many areas and gave us a lot to talk about. Moral culpability, the sinful nature, comparisons to movies about demon possession, and more!

Enjoy!

Richard, David, and James are joined by Dr. Marcus Ross, paleontologist and professor at Liberty University in order to discuss the classic and widely beloved film, Jurassic Park!

We chatted about what has caused this movie to stand the test of time. Dr. Ross managed to ruin Richard's childhood by dispelling some of the ways in which the film is scientifically inaccurate. We then jumped into the meat of the movie, discussing several themes the movie prompts us to consider - ethics and science being a key consideration!

We hope to have Dr. Ross back on with us in the near future in order to cover the upcoming Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, so be sure to check back!

"If you come with us, you're in this life for good."

Big news this week, as Richard and David were joined once again by James Harleman - but this time, 'for good'! But wait, there's more! We were also joined by our regular Star Wars correspondent, as well as apologetic and origins guru, Dr. Jason Lisle!

Richard, David, James, and Dr. Lisle spent over an hour talking about the film. What did we like or dislike? What things worked? Did the actor become 'Solo' for us, or not?

We got into the meat of the movie as well, discussing ideas from debt and slavery to escapism and fantasy.

Once every month or so, our Patreon supporters get to make film suggestions and vote for which one they'd like us to cover on the podcast. This month, they commissioned us to discuss Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Richard and David have been meaning to talk about this movie for a while and were just looking for an excuse to watch it again! The film really deals with some deep subject matter, from relationship issues to Nietzsche and eternal recurrence. If that last one confuses you, it does us a little too..
