At first glance, Babette’s Feast, the 1987 Danish cinematic masterpiece, might seem like a simple story. You might even find yourself thinking, “It’s just a movie about people sharing a meal.”

But we’re going on record to say that Babette’s Feast is one of the most awe-inspiring portraits of the Kingdom of God ever captured on film. It’s a rich tale of unrequited love, the pursuit of passion, quiet sacrifice, and, of course, the sacred act of breaking bread together amongst friends.

Today, we explore this deeply spiritual and quietly stunning film, and we’re so glad to have you join us at the table.

Thanks for listening!

Oh friends. It's been a long time.

Two weeks ago, we suffered a painful loss. Episode 16, Rob Reiner's Misery, was lost to the dark and merciless void. We needed to take some time grieve.

But alas, today we have returned. With the finest role of Bo Burnham's career, as he plays "Me" in Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl.

In all seriousness though. This movies really feels like it captures a special festival-esque charm that was unique to its era. It's a real joy to watch, and just as joyful to talk about.

So who is the Christ figure in this movie? Could it have improved with the addition of, say, Saint Augustine? Tune in and find out!

Three young people head into a frightening circumstance, that will surely test their trust and resolve? Wait, you mean this isn't the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?

That's right, this is the 1999 phenomenon known as The Blair Witch Project, one of the most groundbreaking found-footage films ever made.

Join the gang as we explore the second film of our Spook-tober series! And ask some of the hard questions that this movie left us with, like: was the Blair Witch really just in need of prayer?

Happy Spook-tober, friends!

We're kicking off the month of October with a delightful little morsel that will surely leave you wanting more, 2022's The Menu.

Easing into a month of thrills and scares, The Menu is a horror-ish black comedy that explores the world of high-end culinary culture, and stars Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy.

Join the gang as we ask the hard-hitting questions that this film left us with: How good did that burger look? Was Nicholas Hoult's character redeemable, or was he destined to be the worst? What would John the Baptist do if he was invited to the dinner?

Thanks for listening! And remember to stay spooky this month.

If you're a millennial, this might just be the most unavoidable movie of all time. Teachers used to play it during free days. Kids would put it on for birthday parties. So does it hold up to its claim to be timeless, family-friendly cinema?

Yeah, pretty much.

Join the gang as we explore potentially the most quotable film of the 80's, by absolute icon director Rob Reiner.

We also ask some age old questions, like:

• Was Ratatouille inspired by the big rat creature in this movie?
• Is Ben Savage really sick?
• What is Dinner with Andre really about?

Shoutout to librarians, everywhere.

The Mummy (from 1999, of course) may be one of the purest action-adventure films that Hollywood every spawned. Brendan Fraser is at his absolute best, Rachel Weisz is at her absolute charming-est, and Beni is at his absolute worst.

Action, romance, history, curses, everything you could desire in a summer blockbuster!

Tune in as the gang explores (among other things) what the true message of this film was. Does it reflect the Good News of Jesus in some meaningful way? Or is it just a bunch of flim flam? How many bugs could John successfully punch before they ate him alive?

Also, have you ever seen The Whale? If not, you might wanna skip the first five minutes or so. Blame John, it was his fault.

This one is for the Bergman lovers. <3

"Winter Light," a Swedish tragedy from the 1960's, is not your typical popcorn fare. There's no crazy car chases or explosions or end-credit scenes with Spider-Man.

But man oh man, is it a phenomenal film.

Viewers follow the life of a depressed, increasingly disenchanted Lutheran pastor as he grieves the loss of his wife and wrestles with doubt as he is faced with the angst and disbelief of his equally jaded congregation.

Join the gang as we discuss what it looks like when faith is beaten down by all the suffering that the world has to offer.

And the real question that everyone is thinking...what would Joel Osteen say about this movie?

What does a multiverse movie starring Michelle Yeoh, hot dog fingers, and googly eyes have to teach us about generational sin, shame culture, love, and… church history?

In this chaotic and colorful episode, the gang takes a deep dive into Everything Everywhere All at Once, the Oscar-sweeping A24 film that made us laugh, cry, and rethink our family trauma.

Join us as we discuss why Waymond might be the most Christlike tax-loving husband in cinema, whether this film is really a story about depression and nihilism, and how the gospel speaks to our longing for meaning—even across the multiverse. Plus:
– Our multiverse sequel pitches
– Which Bible characters belong in this movie
– Who we're praying for (and who probably needs to be crucified on the left and right of Jesus)

And yes, we ask the hard questions—like, why isn't Paul Dano appreciated more? And why don't more people talk about The Fabelmans??
