Christian Movie Deep Dive

Ep. 3: The Ballad of Little Joe with Robert G. Lee

What happens when Big Idea is struggling financially, and Phil Vischer and Mike Nawrocki are busy working on Jonah: A VeggieTales movie? Enter Robert G. Lee: Christian stand-up comedian and warm up comic for network sitcoms. Robert G. Lee not only kept the smaller episodes coming, but he wrote one of the best VeggieTales episodes ever made! I sit down with him to discuss The Ballad of Little Joe, all things Veggie related, and what his thoughts are on the status of Christian movies. Also, Larry the Cucumber snorted Coke? And can we rally together and get the ball rolling on "The Bob and Larry Movie"? Robert G.

Ep. 2: Hidden Secrets with Sean Paul Murphy

How did a small Independent Christian Production company like Pure Flix become a trusted brand for Christians around the world? What started it all? I sit down with writer Sean Paul Murphy as we discuss the 2006 film Hidden Secrets. A well written, comedy/drama that tackles controversial subjects that many films haven't talked about since. We talk about the history behind the film, what is wrong with the current trend in Christian Films, and screenwriting tips. https://twitter.com/SeanPaulMurphy  [https://twitter.com/SeanPaulMurphy ] http://seanpaulmurphyville.blogspot.com/ [http://seanpaulmurphyville.blogspot.com/]

Ep. 1: Church People with Christopher Shawn Shaw

I sit down with Director Christopher Shawn Shaw as we talk about Church People, the myth of creative control, and future projects. Christopher Shawn Shaw and comedian Thor Ramsey have been trying to get this film in theaters for over ten years, five of which happened after production wrapped! Listen to the frustrating, entertaining, and always hilarious story of how a stand-up comic, and a first-time feature film director found themselves making a movie with Mike Lindell of MyPillow, and Stephen Baldwin. Hear about the jokes and character nuances that were cut from the film and get the scoop on future projects only on the Christian Movie Deep Dive.
