How to Watch Disney's "Robin Hood" (As A Christian)

How to Watch "Peter Pan & Wendy" (As A Christian)

Peter Pan has been in the public consciousness for 100 years. There have been many adaptions over the generations, some better than others. How does Disney's latest live action remake stack up to the rest? We talk about whether the new film "gets" what Peter Pan is, and whether the changes they made improve upon the original—or if they fail to live up to J. M. Barrie's vision for the story. We also talk about how updates can be great, if they don't eclipse the point of the story. Then we discuss how Jesus' parables don't occupy the same space as his sermons; a sermon is not a story. But at times, "Peter Pan & Wendy" felt preachy, to the detriment of the characters.

How to Watch "John Wick: Chapter 4" (As A Christian)

So John Wick 4 is the conclusion (?) of the John Wick quadrilogy. The Wick series is known for its action, pacing, and characters and lore. It's safe to say it's a huge hit. How should Christians approach the John Wick movies? In this episode, we talk about violence, action movies, and why John Wick has a lasting impact on audiences.

How to Watch Annihilation (As A Christian)

Annihilation is a 2018 sci-fi/horror film by Alex Garland, one of our favorite film makers--who previously directed "Ex Machina." In this episode we welcome our friend Charlie, who posted on his Letterboxd, "I don't think I'm smart enough for this movie." So, we wanted to talk about it with him! We dive into Annihilation's themes, the film maker's vision, and whether or not it's good to tell stories that go "over people's heads." Join us as we discuss Annihilation!
