On this week’s episode of Sciendity Crisis, hosts Justin and Meghan chat with Benjamin Faye about the 2002 Steven Spielberg film, Minority Report. We cover several themes, including government monitoring, classism, and public housing. It was chilling to discover how many themes from over 20 years ago are still quite relevant today. Don’t forget to listen all the way to the end to hear each of our picks!

Justin and Meghan sit down with Tori Williams in our latest episode of Scidentity Crisis to talk all things Lord of the Rings. Or at least as many things as can be discussed in one podcast episode. We touch on the evangelical response to the trilogy, the way some of the symbolism and themes have been interpreted (and misinterpreted) and how we can pull out some themes into our current times. Don’t forget to listen all the way to the end to hear each of our picks!
