The Pilgrim's Podcast

CIVIL WAR! The entire family joins in to talk about the latest addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Captain America: Civil War. Find out who's #TeamCap or #TeamIronman, why Tony Stark needs to give up his super-suit, what makes Spiderman the awesomest, as well as discussion on force and law in a civilized society and a fan theory on the Winter Soldier's true motivations. All this and more in the thirty-ninth episode of The Pilgrim's Podcast.

We talk about one of my all-time favorite films: A Man for All Seasons, the imminent end of PJTV's Trifecta (one of our favorite things), gay weddings, religious freedom, the need for belief, and Taken.

This week, we talk about Merle Haggard, cussing, Rogue One, communism, John Adams, the law, and Bridge of Spies.

We talk about Raffles, Waking Ned Devine, Catch Me If You Can, Raising Arizona, and other heist films. Also: The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

We chat about The X-Files, monsters, aliens on TV, government conspiracies, belief, fairies, favorite episodes, and our true HQ.

In what may be our strangest episode yet, we sing Gilbert and Sullivan, talk about the history of American musicals including Singin' in the Rain, Fiddler on the Roof, The Phantom of the Opera, and Hamilton, speculate about which modern movies would make good musicals, and talk about the sociology of music.

We talk The Force Awakens, nostalgia, CGI, and whether Star Wars is over forever. Has the Force been asleep? How do the new cast perform? Is The Force Awakens' mimicry of A New Hope an homage or simply lazy storytelling? All the answers and more in this episode of The Pilgrim's Podcast.

We talk about A Christmas Story, guns in movies, Star Wars (no spoilers!), movie families, commercialism, God in Home Alone, childhood, and Christmas.

We talk about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Nazis, aging action stars, MacGuffins, great villains, and what the movie should actually be called. Featuring the Matriarch, Dennis (a.k.a. Tacitus a.k.a. Samuel Long), Dodgson (a.k.a. Forest Newberry), and (briefly) Sarah Long.

Our special guests

We talk about the role of fate or chance in The Return of the King, symbols and sacraments, life and death, and the role of loss (of innocence, greatness, and inheritance) in the story.
