Ben drove to Chicago and Evan flew to Chicago so they could record an episode of the podcast about Zach Snyder’s REBEL MOON. It was just that important!



Or they were getting together for a comic book convention and they took advantage of the time to record a podcast episode together. 



Either way, for the first time in years they were in the same room recording about sci-fi movies! And the movies were: REBEL MOON PART ONE and TWO. And they have a hot take!



The hot take? Well, that would be telling. But their reactions to both of these movies do not align with the vocal reactions on social media that they have seen.

REBEL MOON DUOLOGY REVIEW






To answer the title’s question: yes.



In this episode, Ben takes a look at three comic books created by Christians because he thinks they deserve to be seen by more people! You should absolutely check out this graphic novels! Want to know why?



That’s where this podcast episode comes in.





Samson, Pistolfist, & Creature Tech: 3 Christian Comics – Are They Worth Reading?






Ben and Evan saw Dune Part Two.



Ben and Evan LOVED Dune Part Two.



Ben and Evan talked about Dune Part Two.



Ben took a long time editing their Dune Part Two episode, so he has the wrong number when he did the opening.

DUNE PART TWO REVIEW






A $3 book with a catchy title bought on a whim became the best book Ben has read all year! And definitely the best $3 he has spent in a long time… 



This book involves four giants of science fiction; spiritual ideas; a unique writing challenge; and so, so much more!!!

Review: THE DAY THE SUN STOOD STILL – Exciting Used Bookstore Find! – SA416






Ben takes a solo roadtrip to see MADAME WEB.



The question: is it as bad as they say?



The other question: can he find a weak connection?



At least one of those questions has “yes” for an answer. At least.
