The truth is beautiful... but what about this film? James and David are joined by "Wonder Kathryn" to discuss the mixed reviews and myriad themes in this atypical comic book movie, as it seeks to lasso our idols of power and identity and continue this franchise's critique of human nature.

Episode 227: Batman Returns Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

Meow! We asked our Patreon Supporters to select a Christmas movie, and they "picked a cute one". Tragic irony, or poetic justice?

Fortunately nothing surprises us anymore, so Miles Wallace Returns to join us for some Bat-banter (turns out James and Miles might have been bunkies at Prep School). What makes a Christmas movie, and what traumas make us wear masks?

And don't miss a special visit from our very own Kat-woman! Merry Christmas listeners!

Episode 226: Scrooged Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

The hosts of popcorn theology past, present, and future haunt this miser of a movie with Murray moments that are both hilarious and teachable, as well as provoking conversations about Dickens' classic ghost story. Is this episode worthy of a VHS or a towel? We think Yule love it! If you like what you are hearing and want to help support our show, consider pledging to support us over on Patreon!

Episode 225: The Good Place Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

Join Richard, James, and Kathryn as we discuss all four seasons of this philosophically charged show (all of which are available now on Netflix!) This show, perhaps more than any other sitcom, provides much for our discussion - no other sitcom so overtly deals with issues of worldview quite like this one!

Episode 224: Love and Monsters Nov 13, 2020

Show notes

Join Richard and James this week as they discuss a 'Summer Popcorn Movie' that may have flown under the radar for many of us, Love and Monsters! The movie actually deals with some pretty providential ideas and gave us plenty to talk about. How safe are we really? At what point does the cost we pay for safety outweigh its value - when does the risk become warranted? All that on top of ideas of made family, love as having more meaning and application than merely romantic, and more! Grab some popcorn and check this flick out, then take a listen!

223: Coraline Oct 17, 2020

Show notes

Like button-eyed dolls, we've been watching... in this case, watching Henry Selick's dark fantasy film based on the beloved Neil Gaiman story. An enigmatic Kat journeys with James, David and Richard as they unlock the door to deeper themes in this modern fairy tale, discussing children's stories and the nature of cautionary tales.

222: Equilibrium Oct 03, 2020

Show notes

Before beginning as Batman, Christian Bale warmed up with killer moves in this post-Matrix "guns with gung fu" fight fest, balanced by stark social and theological themes. Richard, David and James are joined by Miles Wallace, who suggested this episode picked by our Patreon supporters. We review it gladly.

Episode 221: Batman Begins Sep 20, 2020

Show notes

This week, we celebrated both Nolan's newest film and the talk of the new Batman trailer by revisiting an old favorite from both categories... Batman Begins! Are we defined by who we are underneath, or what we do? What is this story doing with the way it handles fear, revenge, justice, etc? Falling down this hole will give you lots to think about, just be sure to pick yourself back up!

Episode 220: Bill and Ted Face the Music Sep 05, 2020

Show notes

David, Richard and James jump in the recording booth and embark on a most excellent adventure, seeing what the Bill and Ted Adventure tells us about life and how "facing the music" adds some commentary appropriate for our time... or perhaps all time? Join us as we see if the ultimate message of this trilogy is bogus or bodacious. If you like what you are hearing and want to help support our show, consider pledging to support us over on Patreon!
