Reel Christianity

We all were fortunate enough to sit down to discuss the wildly phenomenal Haunting of Hill House, a 10 episode Netflix series that might undoubtedly be the best thing Netflix has done to date.

Continuing on in the tradition we hadn't intended to start but which we can't help, this week we review Christopher Nolan's follow-up to The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, do we like this movie? No. No, we do not.

This week Corey and Ethan sit down to discuss a movie that appears to be the newest trend in "Christian movies", YouTube productions. This week we are joined once again by Jo to talk about "Where is My Home" a Chinese-produced Christian movie that we quickly realize is not a Christian movie at all but more-so a film produced by an offshoot Chinese cult which looks and talks like Christianity but is pretty discernably not Christianity. If you don't believe us, jump over to YouTube and skip to the forty minute mark.

Another throwback, this time our second episode in which we review God's Not Dead and reveal our deep love and admiration for Kevin Sorbo.

In a throwback episode here is the very first episode of the Mission Podcast in which we review Batman vs Superman. We've come a long way since this episode and hope you enjoy if you haven't listened yet.

This week Corey and Ethan stumble upon one of the newest Netflix originals, which was also produced by This American Life, Come Sunday tells the true story of Carlton Pierson, a Pentecostal minister who begins to change his view on Hell. Can the movie change Corey and Ethan's view on whether or not movies with Christian themes can be objectively good? Check in to find out!

This week Corey and Ethan discuss Big Idea Productions' biggest movie and biggest flop, Jonah a Veggietales Movie, the film responsible for destroying everything you loved about Veggietales as a child and for bankrupting Big Idea. But what about the movie? It came out in 2003, so does it hold up? Well we take the right amount of time to discuss that, check it out!

This week Corey and Ethan are joined by our special guest, Jo, as we discuss the Christian movie with all the advertisements telling you it's actually good. And they're at least kinda right, Corey and Jo end up discussing the film while Ethan listens in to determine if it's worth his time.

This time Corey and Ethan get into real trouble when they step into the bizarre world of rock opera and musical theater. NBC released its newest live TV musical event, a musical depicting the life of Jesus Christ clearly missing the point that this is a musical not so much about the Jesus of Easter as the historical Jesus. But to do their duty they talk about it, and you may enjoy listening to it.

This week we break down 2015's War Room, a story detailing a family's struggle with an emotionally abusive and distant husband and father on the verge of an affair, a mother who isn't the woman she wants to be, and the sage-like old woman who knows the answer is putting the prayer back in schools. Do Corey and Ethan enjoy this movie? Check in to find out!
