Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?

What a strange film this is. Not a lot of the “intellectual-challenged” films from this era (not named Rain Man) have survived the cannon fire of modern day critics. Looking especially hard at you, Radio.

It’s hard to imagine that one of those films broke all kinds of records, won all kinds of awards, and had all kinds of weirdly endearing America and apple pie-flavored charm.

But hey, that’s Forrest Gump for ya.

But enough of all that genuine analysis, we’re here to ask the real questions.

For example:

Was this film an allegory for the biblical Book of Hosea?

Was Lieutenant Dan fit to serve in the LORD’s army?

Was Jenny a bad person? Or was she the worst person?

Tune in for all that and more!

Grab your ski masks, movie fans.

This week, the gang covers a film that feels criminally under appreciated, which is funny because of how criminal the actions in this movie are.

Hell or High Water is a neo-Western that examines the malaise of living in a small Texas town where the charm of a peaceful rural existence has been sabotaged by big banks and predatory corporations.

It’s also got lots of bank robbing, which is sick.

Join us as we ask hard hitting questions like, “What happened to the man who ordered trout at that restaurant?” and “Could Kirk Cameron have improved this film somehow?”

LETS GET DOWN TO PODCAST

The people asked and we answered. The 1998 smash phenomenon, Mulan.
A powerful female lead, a hilarious side character lizard, and an extraordinary amount of violence for a Disney film. What else could you ask for?

Join us as we ask the questions other podcasts are afraid to ask: Does anyone care that the bad guy Hun was actually Puerto Rican? Is this afterlife even worse than Coco’s? Is Mushu a problematic name, or just a delicious name?

Well, well, well.
It’s about time we talked about some REAL cinema.

Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life is not your typical popcorn blockbuster fare. It’s a slow burning, meditative contemplation on familial loss and the feeling of God’s absence. At times it feels more like a poem or painting than it does a film.

So join the Fab Four as we dive into our deepest film so far. We’ll ask timeless questions like, “Why do boys act like that?” and “Is that dinosaur a kind of Christ figure?”

You won’t wanna miss it. Thanks for being here!

Okay, here's the thing.

Hahahahahaha.

No but seriously.

This movie is so bonkers. Gripping paranoia, brain-melting special effects, and whatever that giant hat was that Kurt Russell wore. Everything about this movie just rocks to high heaven.

But honestly, we're here to ask the questions that no other podcast is BRAVE enough to ask. Like, why isn't Keith David more appreciated? What happened to Wilford Brimley's mustache? Is "the thing" just a metaphor for the Pentecost? And how does this story relate to church history?

Tune in for all this and much, much more.

Thanks for listening.

We hope you're wearing pink today (it's Wednesday).

Another film from the millennial hall of fame.

When we say that this movie was inescapable when it came out in 2004, we literally mean INESCAPABLE. There are lines that I didn't even know were from this movie until a couple of years ago. That's timelessness, wow.

Let's explore what it is about high school cliques, fitting in, and white girls from the nation of Africa that's so darn compelling. And the typical LFOC whimsy you've come to love, like, "Was the gymnasium scene too youth group-ish?"

It's wild to think that one of the most impactful movies to come out of the early 2000's was a movie about the crucifixion of Jesus directed by one of Hollywood's most controversial stars.

Yet, here we are.

There's a lot to unpack in a movie like this, and as you'll soon hear, everyone had their "where were you when Passion came out" kind of moment. Some boycotted it altogether. Others sat through multiple viewings.

So let's talk Passion! Thanks for being here!

Who knew that, a few short months after the release of the 2024 film Conclave that there would be a real life conclave in Rome after the death of Pope Francis? Crazy right?

But you know what's crazier still? That they made a political thriller about a church staff meeting and somehow it's really, really good. Seriously.

Join the gang as we discuss Conclave, with jaw-dropping questions like: why do cardinals smoke so much? Why is Stanley Tucci so good? What if Santa Claus was elected as the new pope?
