Mac & Kat lead our boring lives…unlike Charlie Sheen or the characters in Netflix’s Untamed. Then we talk about the remarkable life of Charlie Kirk and how we want our children remembered.

Jude is off ant camps and retreats, Kat & Jennifer have a girls’ camping trip, and Mac has been watching too much. Greg duped me into seeing a horrible move…well not really. Also, spoiler: cell phones are the worst!

Basement chaos is starting to get to Mac, Katherine loses a beloved cousin, and why you should always have a pocket knife on you. Superman is some pretty wonky fun, and 28 Years Later is some pretty disturbing madness. We piggyback on last week’s Catholic Stuff segment by noting how God once again nudges us toward grace-filled encounters.

Mac & Kat play host to the whole family in an Airbnb in historic Brunswick, GA. F1: The Movie does not disappoint, and we discuss supernatural moments of grace in the context of a “chance” encounter.

Kat gets a haircut and is all “work, work, work.” Mac finishes up the school year, we are STILL looking for a car, and we will soon have two of our sons back in the nest. In preparation for the new Mission Impossible movie coming out, we revisit MI:2, MI:3 and MI:4. Last but not least, a lack of relationship in real life can lead to devastating online consequences (not for us) - no click bait here.

Mac may being going senile, Mother’s Day birdfeedery, and we had an earthquake! On Stranger Tides is a better book than movie, King Lear is better than Katherine expected, and we delve back into Captain America Civil War to revel in the archetypes.
