  “Gird your loins”, because this week our patron saints have spoken and sent our hosts out of their comfort zones and into the world of high fashion with the Devil Wears Prada. David, James and Miles discuss fashion, ambition, service and the power of seduction.    If you like what you are hearing and want to help support our show, consider pledging to support us over on Patreon! If you do, you'll be canonized as an official Patron Saint of Popcorn Theology and be given access to an exclusive Facebook group just for supporters, giveaways, polls to decide what films we discuss, and much more!   We hope you enjoy the listen and we would love it if you'd share this content with your friends.  Please take a moment to check out our sponsor, MissionalWear - Awesome T-Shirts, Posters, and more...
