The Godcast

What if hypnosis was as powerful as movies and TV act like it is? What what would that do to maladjusted dropouts? Well in 1997 director Kiyoshi Kurosawa answered that question with the classic thriller movie Cure .  Join Myles and Super as they have a freewheeling chat about the movie and its themes of severe stress, cult influences in Japan, and mesmerism. Cure: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123...

This isn't October. This is Cage tober, where we talk about Nicolas Cage movies. Why, you might ask? Because it's funny. Let's start off with the botched attempt at inb4ing a Five Nights at Freddy's movie in 2021: the horribly underrated Willy's Wonderland .  Willy's Wonderland: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8114980/   If you'd like to support the Godcast, Popcorn N' Soda and/or The Very Lutheran P...

Spooky month this, spooky month that, when are we going to see some tricks to balance out all these treats? I'll tell you when - right now. We made sure SuperLutheran got PUNK'D this episode by having him read through sovereign citizen theological literature without telling him what it was. Let's take a listen to an hour of this poor doofus being confused (thankfully he was a good sport about it)....

Today let's blow off some steam. Brad McRadd joins us to point and laff at marxists having a theorycel moment, arguing that exercise is capitalist oppression because of cartesian dualism or something. Does having a soul enable muh-capitalist oppression? Should we always just do what we feel like? Let's chat.  Emails in the second half! The video that spurred the conversation: https://www.youtube.c...

Oh Boy, it's time to talk about Shepherds for Sale again. Let's listen to Super recount some of the facts on the ground regarding the great pastoral betrayal of the past 25 years. Following that, a couple more audio chats from his Modern Theology series about why liberalism fails and why conservatives lost. We got a guest coming on next week, and will also catch up on emails then too. Shepherds fo...

So if you don't support Vlad the Impaler killing muslims and putting their bodies on pikes, you're a turbo-liberal polyamorous semi-Christian who's probably going to hell. At least, this is the claim made by YouTube's newest popular cartoonist. Let's examine his argument, take a look at Vlad III, and discuss the "Gospel of Nice" canard. Emails in the second half! The video in question: https://www...

Guys, every now and then Super puts out an episode of Popcorn N' Soda that... well, we just don't know what happened. This is one of those episodes. Let's hear what happens when one of your favorite podcasters goes to jail to review an Adult Swim cartoon about jail and then things go bonkers from there. SuperJail! : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031283/    If you'd like to support the Godcast, Pop...

So a couple years back Megan Basham released an explosive book called Shepherds for Sale , which alleges that evangelical Christian leaders sold out - taking money from leftist organizations to push their doctrine and practice leftward. In other words, she found out why a whole bunch of ostensibly conservative churches became liberal seemingly overnight. And she proved it. When the book came out,...

You may have heard about the pastor shortage. Not enough guys are going to seminary, not enough guys are keeping the collar on, and lots of churches are going without shepherds. What's behind this phenomenon? How do we fix it? Does it need to be fixed? Let's listen to Super slowly get more and more unhinged as he walks on proverbial broken glass to get the answers.  The recruiting ad that spurred...

Proving to be one of our more divisive miniseries, let's do the FINAL episode on Edmund Burke and political conservatism. Instead of just asking whether Christians have to be conservatives, let's also ask whether the early Church was conservative. The text itself: https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/15679/pg15679-images.html#REFLECTIONS The Epistle to Diognetus: https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/...

Ahoy Monsieur! Are ye ready to shiver me baguette with a healthy serving of LE VENGEANCE??? Join Myles and Super as they review the hit 2002 movie The Count of Monte Cristo , starring a whole bunch of people who weren't nearly as famous as they are now. But before you do that, go out to the concession stand and grab yourself some GOLD and MORE LE VENGEANCE! The Count of Monte Cristo:  https://www....

Today Myles and Super respond to a guy who made a spooky and serious sounding argument against worshiping the God of the Bible...using chat-gpt. No really. And it turns out that AI anti-Christian positions are just as awful as the ones made by human beings.  Emails in the second half!

Say, are Christians allowed to drink? Antinomians would say yes. Chances are, your pastor will say something along the lines of "well yeah but don't get drunk, drunkenness is a sin." Perhaps a few of them will say that categorically believers must  never drink. What's the truth of the matter? Today, Super gives us a casual chat on alcohol and independence, and responds to a devotional that disagre...

So when is a state seizing Church lands acceptable? According to Edmund Burke, the answer is "only when the English do it." As we continue reading through Edmund Burke's  Reflections on the Revolution in France, the foundational text for conservatism, let's ask some pointed questions about fifth columns, historical massacres, and the statute of limitations for laying blame on people groups. Most i...

Hey, you bored? Wanna kill some time? Sweet, let's chat while Super reviews the only Minesweeper game that ever beat him. Pop in your favorite time killer game and enjoy this stream-of-consciousness CONTENT. 14 Minesweeper Variants: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1865060/14_Minesweeper_Variants/ Minesweeper Online: https://minesweeperonline.com/ The superior option in unfair Minesweeper games:...

So after he was asked about the guy about 900 times, Super has finally gotten around to talking about "Hoe Math." Not the manosphere redpill type stuff he talks about, but the "Levels" concept and integral theory that he advocates for. Who is Ken Wilber? Why does that matter? How does his new-age philosophy affect things? Is it OK for Christians to get into this guy? Stuff we talked about: Intro t...

Today Super continues his evaluation of Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, the foundational text for conservatism as we know it. This runs the gamut from the good to the bad of the ideology, from maintaining tradition to "let them eat cake" hypocrisy. As we discuss his praise for prejudice and love for state churches, we continue to ask: do Christians have to be conservatives?...

Hey did you know that 90's children entertainment celebrated people living in their home territories and celebrating their differences? Do you remember a time when kids were told "become who you are" by big cartoon gargoyles? Tonight Super is joined by Gordon Kahl to discuss the Gargoyles World Tour Arc, Burger King Kids Club nationalism, and how Star Trek made the whole show. Gargoyles:  https://...

"You didn't think anyone knew about that, did you? But God saw you!" Today we're talking about the cult classic film Frailty, starring and directed by Bill Paxton. What if God told you to kill? What if you didn't do a great job? Who's Otis anyway? Frailty: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264616/ An interview with the libtard screenwriter for the movie:  https://www.dreadcentral.com/interviews/539638...

The Westminster confession of faith states, "God from all eternity did, by the most wise and holy counsel of his own will, freely and unchangeably ordain whatsoever comes to pass." Is this true? Does God predetermine everything, even the things He says are against His will? Today we examine determinism, especially the theological kind, and offer a brief rebuttal. In response to the question coming...

You may have heard some conservative dork say that nationalism was born during the French Revolution. Sure. Little does he know, his own politics, conservatism, was born then as well. Fresh off the heels of Lindsay Graham's passing, let's start reading Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France , and evaluate the foundational text of conservatism itself. Then we'll ask that crucial que...

Today, Myles Poland comes back from getting milk and cigarettes to chat with Super about the SSPX getting excommunicated. How did this happen? Why didn't openly defying the Catholic Church end in Total Trad Victory? Whatever the answers, welcome to Protestantism, our SSPX brothers! SSPX: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Saint_Pius_X The standard RC take on the group: https://youtu.be/8-KR_...

Today Super goes over Quaker doctrine, straight from one of their own catechisms. Written from jail. Because the Quakers ticked everyone off, to the point of being persecuted by the Puritans - who had to flee persecution themselves (because they too pissed everyone in England off). Let's dive into why Quakerism sucks, but also why people fell for it. Emails in the second half! William Smith's "New...

Comrades, this time it's personal! Let's watch some more crappy Soviet era animation, now with more propaganda! And since the workers now own the means of entertainment, you too can watch along. Here's what the politburo picked out for us: Pavel Tsatsouline's secret Soviet strength training book: https://www.amazon.com/Kettlebell-Strength-Secret-Soviet-Supermen/dp/0938045695   Wired (1987): https:...

It was the basedest of times, it was the cringiest of times. The French Revolution represents many things to many people, but it certainly didn't represent anything approaching wisdom. Today Super reads from the writings, speeches and court transcripts from the radical Jacobin faction and shows how their buffoonery vindicates the Christian faith. Join us as we meander through the minds of men who...
