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.

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
