Horror Joy

Star Spangled boogaloo - Christian Nationalism 2


Listen Later

This week on Horror Joy, we're delving deeper into the chilling connection between Christian nationalism and horror. Following our exploration of Victorian roots with Lukas Kwong, we're turning our attention to the modern-day manifestations of this dangerous ideology.

Joining us is Bradley Onishi, author and co-host of the popular political podcast Straight White American Jesus, to provide invaluable insights into contemporary Christian nationalism.

We'll dissect the horrors unfolding around us:

  • Understanding Christian Nationalism Today: A comprehensive look at the current state of Christian nationalism and its impact on society.
  • The Power of Community: Exploring the joy and empowerment found in building strong communities.
  • Weaponizing Faith: How Civil War, The Mist, and "Senator, Senator" depict the dangerous weaponization of Christianity by Christian nationalists.
  • Corruption and Control: Examining the themes of power corruption and the manipulation of institutions by these extremist groups.


While the terror is a little too close for comfort this week, we find joy in the empowering activity of community. Just try to avoid those dastardly abominations.
