Popcorn Theology

Popcorn Theology is a weekly podcast hosted by two guys, who talk about Entertainment, Theology, and how the two meet.

Richard and David are excited for the new Spider-Man flick, but before we get there.. we need to take a look at the classic series of Spider-Man films, beginning with the original.

The film presents us with many things to consider. Is this story, like any story worth telling, about a girl? Why should we do the 'right' thing - because it will go better for us, or simply because it is right? Who sets the standard of what is the 'right' thing? The Green Goblin seems to personify evil as being separate somehow from the human it inhabits.. in what ways is this true of sin? In what ways could it be said this is not true?

And a bunch of other stuff too! We hope you enjoy the conversation.

If you're interested, we took a look at a clip during this episode which was part of the original advertising for the movie and involved the World Trade Center. In the aftermath of 9/11, this ad wasn't used.. but it was definitely interesting. You can see it here.

This week, we got the honor of being joined by Summer White of Sheologians fame to discuss the film industry and feminism... No controversy there, right?

We learned what some of Summer's favorite films and shows are, then we got into a recent news story about the Cannes Film Festival involving comments made by Jessica Chastain.

Should the film industry go out of its way to make sure it has more women represented in the role of director, filmmaker, writer, etc? Should some sort of action be taken to ensure the percentage of females involved in this business is at a certain 'level'? What does the percentage, 'Only 7% of the top 250 films had women directors' actually tell us about the potential problem?

We even got to chat with Summer about how Christians (men and women both!) ought to view, interact with, and create stories, films, and more.

We hope you enjoy the conversation, whether you agree with our conclusions or not!

If you're interested in the original article that sparked some of this discussion, it can be found here.

Popcorn Theology is a weekly podcast hosted by two guys, who talk about Entertainment, Theology, and how the two meet.

Richard and David were joined once again by the viral internet sensation, known round the world for his excellent impressions, Jamie Costa! Jamie, as a Robin Williams super-fan, was excited to sit down with us to chat about one of Robin Williams classics - Mrs. Doubtdfire!

The conversation bounces around Robin Williams greatest movies, the nature of love as a choice or a feeling, the idea of selfless service that receives no credit but truly has the well being of others as the center of its motivation, and much more.

We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it! If nothing else, you'll get to hear Mr. Costa dropping some excellent impersonations!

Richard and David were joined by the awesome James Harleman of Cinemagogue to chat about the newest offering in the world of DC Comics, Wonder Woman!

How did we all think the movie stacked up to the other DC movies and the rest of the comic book offerings that our culture has been baptized with in recent years? Does the movie promote a feminist agenda, or is that something that is more open to interpretation?

The movie prompts us to chat a good bit about the nature of wrath and grace, the 'goodness' of man, and more!

Be sure to check out James' awesome content at Cinemagogue!

We hope you enjoy this episode!

It took us awhile to get around to seeing this film! 10 Cloverfield Lane provides Richard and David with content that springboards them into some good conversation.

Can truth come from an undesirable source, and should we discount, accept, or be cautious of statements that come from suspect sources? How do unbelievers view God - how should we view Him? Does this film have anything to say about family dynamics or how men tend to view/should view women?

We hope you enjoy this episode!
