David and Richard are joined by James Harleman of Cinemagogue to talk about Man of Steel.

Popcorn Theology lays back a bit as we discuss a lighter movie in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog... or is it really all that light? We discuss heroes, villains, self-righteousness, pride, and the proper way to do Film and Theology. And try really hard not to sing.  IMDB Watch on YouTube   Recommendations: Richard: Apologia Radio's interview with Tony Lauinger on Abortion David: Musical commentary...

Join us this week as we talk about Marvel's slightly lower-key superhero flick, Ant-Man!    Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

This week, we're joined by group member and resident law expert Eric Bryant as we discuss the Netflix Original Series, Making a Murderer.  We talk a bit about why justice ought to matter within the christian worldview and dig into some of the evidences presented in the series. Do our hosts think Steven Avery belongs in prison, or not?  This episode ran way long and we just left it that way. It's a...

This week, Richard and David are joined by Nate and his daughter to talk about Pixar's latest offering, Inside Out. How should the Christian view emotions - do they rule over us, deciding our actions or can we have a degree of control over our actions despite our emotions ? And more...    Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com    Coming up next: Mak...

During our episode on Juno, we got carried away and a tad bit political even when it came to the subject of abortion. Rather than weigh down that episode, we decided to pull out a portion of that dialogue and upload it separately. This will also enable people who have not seen Juno to listen as well, as it's not really related to the movie at this point. As mentioned in this little episode, if you...

This week, David and Richard talk about the movie Juno. Is the film pro-choice or pro-life, or ambiguous on the subject? How does the movie portray Christians? And a bunch of other stuff!   Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

During the course of our episode with Dr. Lisle on The Force Awakens, the subject of the possibility of Time Travel (scientifically, logically, and theologically) came up. The conversation didn't really fit in with the rest of the episode, but we still found it interesting and thought others might as well. This is only a few minutes of content, but if you'd like to hear some passing thoughts from...

This week, David and Richard are joined by Dr. Jason Lisle - not to talk about Creation, or even Science, or even Apologetics. No, instead Dr. Lisle was invited to the episode for the purpose of nerding out about the new Star Wars flick, The Force Awakens! Note: Toward the beginning of the episode, a slight clicking might be heard behind Dr. Lisle when he speaks. This audio issue disappears not to...

This week, we're joined once again by James Harleman of www.cinemagogue.com to discuss the newest Marvel/Netflix cooperation, AKA Jessica Jones!   Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

David was unable to be present this week, but in his place Richard is joined by Les and Tanner of the Reformed Pubcast for a very Christmasy edition of Popcorn Theology. Listen as Richard, Les, and Tanner discuss one of the classic Christmas flicks: Home Alone.   Did Kevin get saved? You be the judge.   Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

Let the Star Wars hype begin! David and Richard prepare for the impending release of Episode VII by playing Star Wars trivia and talking/nerding out about the original trilogy movies.  Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

This week, we decided to chat a little bit about music in general. Topics include Christians listening to non-Christian music, playing secular music during a worship service, and more - we even talked about some stuff not related to music at all!  Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

This week, Richard and David are joined by the one and only James Harleman! James has been involved in doing Film and Theology for years, beginning with his ministry at Mars Hill Church in Seattle and continuing today via the medium of his website and book, Cinemagogue! We get to look back on his time at Mars Hill, play a game, and discuss Christian engagement with entertainment. James also let us...

This week, so that David can have a week away to enjoy being a new dad, Richard is joined by guest host Chris Gomes. Listen in as we play a game, discuss the new Star Wars trailer and then take a good look at one of Pixar's finest films - Wall-E! Though it's not the same without David, Chris did a great job. Take a listen!     Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www...

This week, we go so deep we fall into limbo as we delve into the flick, "Inception". The film leads us to consider things such as presuppositional apologetics/the importance of worldview, the natural tendency of man to suppress the truth about God for a convenient lie, and more.    Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

This week we were joined by previous guest Brandon Richardson, as we got into the film The Giver. We talked about the movie for awhile, but the conversation (Predictably?) spring-boarded us into a larger conversation about abortion.    Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.com www.reformedpub.com 

This week, we took a bit of a different approach and instead of looking at a film or TV show we looked at a viral video that has been making the rounds on the normal social media outlets. In 'I'm a Christian, but I'm not...' we see a problematic view of Christianity espoused in order to earn the world's approval. The Bible has much to say about this, and we enjoyed watching the video and talking a...

This week, we didn't record an episode of Popcorn Theology.   But wait! There's still good news. We got to be guests on another podcast, Calvinist Batman and Friends! In place of checking out our podcast, we encourag you to check us out over there! The episode should be up Tuesday the 8th!  Thanks, Popcorn Theologians!

This week, Richard and David are both hooked on a feeling as we basically nerd out about Guardians of the Galaxy for an hour. We do get to talk a little bit about the passion Christians ought to have for Scripture, how Drax might read the Bible, how to 'give a Groot', and more! We also had a very, very special guest. Check it out!   Want to leave us a voicemail? 304-404-4005! www.popcorntheology.c...

This week, we break the first rule. And the second rule.    Word to the wise, Fight Club has some serious questionable content. The film is rated R for "disturbing and graphic depiction of violent anti-social behavior, sexuality and language". This is the most risque film we have featured on our show thus far. As such, we wanted to include some timestamps for some of the questionable content in or...
