What if Ghostbusters wasn’t just a comedy but a commentary on the spiritual war, we’re all living in? For our 30th episode of The Dancing Toaster, we do a massive Ghostbusters-themed deep dive. Join me as I explore what the beloved supernatural comedy gets right—and wrong—about the unseen world. From haunted skyscrapers to ancient deities disguised as pop culture villains, Episode 30 uncovers the spiritual truths hiding in plain sight. In this episode we’ll break down the theology behind the slime, exploring how the film gets surprisingly close to biblical truth about possession, portals, false gods, and supernatural strongholds. From Dan Aykroyd’s real-life Spiritualist roots to the rooftop rituals of Gozer, we compare cinematic fiction with scriptural fact, exposing the lies of modern spiritualism and reminding listeners that the real power over darkness belongs to Christ alone.
The Dancing Toaster is a weekly podcast that wrestles with the intersection of faith and the unexplained.
I release new episodes every Tuesday wherever podcasts are found.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
