Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death." A movie podcast where theology meets banter. In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?" It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.

Bienvenido al programa!
Here's a pregunta for you, dear listener: What do you get when you combine a legend in the world of Mexican cinema, a delightfully charming little girl, and 122 minutes of slapstick gags and poorly-made wigs?
You get this movie. And you know what? It made $100 million, so clearly something clicked in this film.
Join the gang for a deep exploration of a film that, well, doesn't require nearly that mu...
Has there EVER been a better animated film than The Lion King?
Maybe. Probably. I guess the Prince of Egypt still exists. But still, this movie kicks all kinds of hyena tail. It's awesome. We're psyched to talk about it.
Join the gang as we discuss the boyish appeal of Jonathan Taylor Thomas and how much this film really is a Disney-fied version of Hamlet.
We also discuss our favorite topics, like which of these cute anima...
One man. One mission. Chris Pratt. Versus Osama Bin Laden. The battle to end all battles.
That's...not really what this movie is about. There's a lot more waterboarding. And a lot more of Jessica Chastain being empowered and independent. But it's a really good watch. And this episode is a really good listen.

We must, we must, we must talk about this movie.
Wow.
Not a lot of stories capture so well the weight of a religious existential crisis AND the crushing desire to make googly eyes at a teenage boy named Moose.
It's like this movie was made for us.
Join the gang as we (okay, really just Danielle and Annie) explore the familiar woes of growing up as an awkward tween girl, and how good Kathy Bates is at everything she does.
We al...
If it takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to abuse one.
And, ya know, it takes a village to...make a podcast? I don't know. I'm sorry. This isn't a very laugh-y movie.
Join the gang as we dive into the 2015 investigative drama Spotlight, which chronicles a team of Boston journalists as they uncover the rampant abuse cover-ups happening in the Catholic Church.
Did the MCU dull the shine of all th...
Well I'll be a sonofagun.
Join the gang as we travel back to 1930's Mississippi for the Coen Brothers' most bona fide film in their catalogue, O Brother Where Art Thou?
Does the music in this movie stand the test of time? Was there any redemption for Baby Face George Nelson? Did Tommy Johnson ever get his soul back? We'll answer these questions and many more.
Thanks for being here!

Grab your flamethrowers, space cadets.
Join the team (with special guest, our producer Ray!) as we discuss Quentin Tarantino's love letter to the golden age of cinema, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Is this Tarantino's best work? Does Rick Dalton deserve a friend as good as Cliff? Are there enough feet???
We'll answer these questions and more. Thanks for listening pals.

Dismantling the patriarchy has never been so…pastel!
The world was a simpler place when we were all sitting around, wondering what to wear to our Barbenheimer themed parties.
Come take a trip with the John, Jarrad, Danielle, and Annie back to 2023, to the cultural explosion of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and listen along as we explore the facets of this film's view of the meaning of life.
And hey, this is our first episode! Isn’t t...
