You could call this film Christian version of the Fast and the Furious, because it was also made in 2001 and features sick cars and wild stunts. However, in this film, the characters make it clear that street racing is NOT cool and it's actually a sin! Also, you shouldn't have sex.

Heavenquest is a brand new 2020 Christian film with a high fantasy style that feels like everything was run through a Game of Thrones generator with a confusing amount of Christianity tacked on as an afterthought. It's a pretty inscrutable film, but we still found ourselves attached to the evil rave nymph and the orc that haunts the Lake of Doubts. Joining us to unpack this film is our friend Alec...
