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?

Gossip, dating, and judgmental bible studies...boy, wasn't high school awesome?

Actually no, it was not. But this movie is quite good, we'd say. In one of the earliest previews of the undeniable charm and spunk of Miss Emma Stone, we have a film that explores the most universal experiences of a modern teenager: shame, social status, and the everlasting question of who's dating who.

So join us (minus our weakest link IMO) as we explore Easy A and ask hard hitting questions, like: was there a Christ figure in this movie? Is Olive a good Christian first name? Is Stanley Tucci a future candidate for sainthood?

For our first episode of Black History Month, we’d like to put a little extra shine on a spectacular film from 2024, RaMell Ross’ Nickel Boys.

Following the perspective (quite literally) of two young black teenagers in a 1960’s reformatory school, this movie forces the audience to walk in their shoes as they navigate injustice and prejudice.

It’s honestly…kind of a brutal movie, and so our episode isn’t as lighthearted as you may be used to. But we hope that we can shed some Gospel hope on a movie that, while bleak, has a lot of light to reflect.

Thanks for listening!

2025 was, like many years before it, 365 days long. And in that 365 days, there were lots of movies released. Lots of them.

And we didn't watch all of them. But we did watch some. And NOW we're gonna talk about which ones are our favorite.

Buckle up CinemaFans, because we've got a bonus episode! Enjoy!
