In this episode, we discuss Ryan Coogler's 2025 Oscar-winning horror-hit, Sinners. We discuss the need humans have to find healing, joy, and catharsis in shared experiences of art and community. We talk about appreciating good music - and loving the people who make it - and how the gospel invites us to join in a song of catharsis and praise that spans generations.

In this episode, we’re discussing Zach Cregger's 2025 movie, Weapons. The film readily serves as a cathartic allegory about addictions – particularly, substance addiction – and how these addictions are maladaptive attempts to deal with pain.

But addiction doesn’t get the last word; there is hope for those in recovery.

We talk about the importance of a loving, supportive community in the road to recovery; more importantly, we talk about why the Christian gospel is the greater story that breaks addiction’s oppressive spell of shame and guilt – and truly sets us free.

In this episode, we're joined by missionary Mark Parsons of Truth in Love Ministries to discuss the 2024 film, Heretic.

Mark brings a ton of insight from his experiences ministering to current and ex-Mormons - and we really enjoyed chatting with him about the way the film treats conflicts of faith-verses-doubt and rationality-verses-spirituality.
