SPECIAL - 1 Year of Boys' Bible Study! Roundup, Best Clips, and Top Picks Jan 03, 2021

Show notes

Is prayer in school okay? What should I do if my friend is hooked on illegal porn? How can I, personally, defeat Isis? After one full year of intense studies in Christian cinema, the Boys reflect on what we learned. This episode is an extended discussion of the filmmakers, stars, and themes we've come to love from the genre. We also hold an awards ceremony to definitively decide which film, director, and actor are the most blessed in the biz. We hope this episode will be fun for not only our gentle listeners who have been with us since the beginning, but also anyone who is just starting to explore the delightfully cursed world of Christian film.

We close our Christmas season with this wonderfully bizarre musical film about a minister who loses his faith on the holiest holiday of the year. Dejected and alone, he wanders into the titular GOD CAFÉ, which boasts of menu offerings such as "Amazing Holy Cheesecake". Inside he is immediately beset upon by two men who Christ-splain to him literally the entire Bible. Add green screen effects and musical numbers to the equation, and you have one of the most unique Christmas movies ever made. Take a seat and enjoy a relaxing coffee break with us in the God Café!

Christmas Unwrapped (2009) feat. Dom Moschitti Dec 20, 2020

Show notes

Christmas today is disgusting! We used to be able to look in department store windows and make pudding together as a nuclear family, but no longer. How can we take charge of the Christmas spirit in our own lives? There is a man with many, many theories about this and his name is Pastor Greg Robbins. His 2009 DVD Christmas Unwrapped uses documentary, dramatizations, interviews, and stock footage to fully deconstruct the true meaning of Christmas, and to provide an overload of ideas and solutions to "simplify" the holiday, which usually involve spending hundreds of dollars on various supplies. But can you put a price on making memories that last a lifetime? Our longtime friend and regular guest Dom Moschitti, the creator behind Paperback Paradise, actually found this DVD while digging through a Salvation Army, so he kindly takes us through the important information Pastor Greg has to share with the world.

Bedbugs are one of God's only mistakes. So why should we trust them to teach us about the Bible? The boys watch the Christmas episode of this made-for-video kids show about singing bugs in Bible times. They are ready to snidely dismiss this entire presentation as repetitive, shallow, and annoying - which it is! But then a beautiful, talented bedbug named Freezy performs a musical number that touches all of their hearts, and there was not a dry eye on the Discord call.

Adventures in Odyssey Ep. 135 "Back to Bethlehem" (1991) feat. Marina Kittaka Dec 06, 2020

Show notes

This long-running and popular Christian audio drama is staffed by legendary voice actors and bankrolled by notorious fundamentalist Christian activist group Focus on the Family. Despite this insidious connection, Adventures in Odyssey (AiO) is a well-produced and enjoyable listen that transfixed many young Christian '90s kids as parent-approved entertainment. Our guest Marina Kittaka, an artist and game developer notable for her work on acclaimed indie games Even the Ocean, Anodyne, and Anodyne 2, was one such person who spent hundreds of hours of her childhood immersed in the AiO universe. To celebrate the Christmas season, we join the long-running drama's story when protagonists Eugene and Connie warp to Bible times to observe the birth of baby Jesus.

The Daylight Zone (1986) TEASER Nov 30, 2020

Our November bonus episodes spotlight the filmography of the Christiano Brothers, who could be considered among the biggest names in Christian filmmaking due to their high volume of well-produced output. Their first ever film is THE DAYLIGHT ZONE, which is quite obviously a parody of the Twilight Zone. The titular Daylight Zone is a supernatural zone where the Bible times come to life in order to convince a mean and stubborn atheist that Jesus is truly the savior. This makes for a cute and delightful romp involving Jesus freaks, fish sandwiches, and angry centurions who lived millennia ago but somehow understand how a car works.

Parable (1964) feat. Grant Moninger Nov 29, 2020

Show notes

This influential avant-garde short film made for the 1964 New York World's Fair drew national controversy for its allegorical portrayal of Jesus as a clown in the circus of life. A much more subtle and arty Christian film than we are usually accustomed to watching for this podcast, it tells a New Testament story using whimsical imagery that can turn deeply haunted at a moment's notice. Grant Moninger of American Cinematheque and Beyond Fest introduces us to Parable by reminiscing about his terrifying experience seeing it in church as a young kid. He also delights us with his vivid stories of growing up in an ultra-rural Protestant community involving graveyards, pageants, petty rivalries, and learning why dogs go to hell.

Mayflower II (2020) feat. Jared Yates Sexton Nov 22, 2020

Show notes

In a not-so-distant future, a secret cell of Christians are deemed "radical" by the government because they want to read the original Bible and not the state-censored version. As they endure police raids, legal theft of their land and homes, and the psychic threat of political correctness, they yearn for an escape to a better, freer world. A spaceship called Mayflower II proves to be a reliable getaway vehicle to the Mars colonies, but even the promise of escape is not what it seems in this dense sci-fi thriller by Dallas and Greg Lammiman. Our guest this week is political analyst, author, and podcaster Jared Yates Sexton, whose extensive cultural research and his own past growing up in a cultish evangelical community help us unlock hidden symbolism and meaning in this surprising film.

From the twisted mind of Dave Christiano (The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry) comes this TV series about the wacky day-to-day adventures of a Christian theater troupe. They work in a theater owned by an unseen character named Mr. Wheeler who desired a place where audiences could be entertained every weekend by wholesome Christian stage plays. In this two episode arc, the 7th Street crew struggles with the ethical question that haunts anyone who is trying to live a godly life: is it possible to play a prank and still be a Christian? The Boys agonize over this dilemma, and ask ourselves once again if Christians know how to have fun.
