ANT-MAN & THE WASP: Small Stories, Big Ideas
This week, James and David team up to take on Ant-Man and the Wasp. We took a Goliath level look at the MCU and its pattern of balancing weight with levity, then we shrink down for some (quantum) analysis of the finer themes, including pride, foolishness, pain, salvation, and loving your enemies. CLICK THE POPCORN […]
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN:
So tell me do you wanna know… what James and David thought of The Greatest Showman? Besides the amazing production quality, the film explores the highs and lows of chasing your dreams and gives some great imagery for discipleship and taking ownership of mockery.

Get a Kick out of THE KARATE KID
What can The Karate Kid (the classic movie, not the forgettable remake) help us think through as it relates to mentoring and discipleship, committing to important projects/training/etc, and being able to trust the Lord even when we can’t see how His plan is working out for our good (as is promised)?

Back in Time to THE TERMINATOR
He said “I’ll be back”… and here we are! In our post on the 2018 film UPGRADE, we noted director Leigh Whannel’s inspirations which included 80s classics Robocop and The Terminator. Particularly of note, Whannel considers many of these films “horror movies in a sci-fi skin”. So we went back in time to look at […]

Great film? You Bet JURASSIC is!
Hey dinosaur lovers! We “spared no expense” for a podcast review of Jurassic Park. In fact, we brought in a bonafide (bone-afide?) dinosaur expert, paleontologist and professor at Liberty University Dr. Marcus Ross. It’s really the first part of a two-part conversation, as we’ll converge again for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and fill in the spiritual […]

No Longer SOLO: Cinemagogue & Popcorn Theology
A Long Time Ago, in a Century Far, Far Away… Prior to the turn of the century, I was mentored by a great guy who had a mind for film and theology, Mike Gunn, which ultimately led to the creation of Cinemagogue as a ministry in “the aughts”, with a website, and ultimately my published […]
