  • This week our hosts Miles, James & Kat defy watching mindlessly as they cover Wicked: Part 1. This beloved musical is overflowing with fruitful topics to discuss. Many people have bemoaned the rise of the “villain as misunderstood victim” story, yet our hosts found subtlety and valuable truth throughout this film. Among these truths are the folly of the unexamined life, how we can all be tempted by the desire to be popular, and how this story echoes elements of the greatest story of all.

Novelist Mike Duran emerges from his coffin as the hairy, howling Pastor Joe Thorn claws his way into the conversation, moderated by our host and horror expert James Harleman.

Watch the episode HERE.

    Mike Duran has literally written the book on this subject: check out Christian Horror: On the Compatibility of a Biblical Worldview and the Horror Genre and his horror books and more at Amazon.com. Visit his website mikeduran.com

  • Eric and Maddy cover one of the more controversy inducing shows in recent memory. Does this show have anything compelling to say? Is it good? Is it bad? or does it commit the worst story telling sin: being boring?

    Wherever you land on these questions there are still many themes to receive and redeem and a good reminder that there is a wind that will carry believers far beyond the reaches of the enemy and the enemy can never follow.

  • Don’t say the name of this episode out loud! Kat and James get their goth on and tackle these two Tim Burton comedies separated by 36 years yet so eerily similar. Like the ghost, this episode has the most as they discuss the cultural impact of Lydia Deetz and goth subculture, the movie’s skewed view of the afterlife, and the extremes of non-belief regarding spirits versus an unhealthy interest in them. Watch the episode here.
