    WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen

    WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen

    Don’t worry. Nothing is wrong here. We’re not stuck inside a hex, kept prisoner by a chaos witch who literally makes us feel her pain as she feels it. We aren’t forced to play roles that are pastiches of famous sitcoms of decades past. Don’t worry. We’re just talking about WandaVision, and how great and funny it is! It doesn’t have anything to do with grief or trauma or a global pandemic. Just enjoy your time in Westview!

    Free Guy: Liberty to the NPCs

    This episode is all about 2021’s surprisingly good video game movie, Free Guy (well, I mean, it had Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi in it, so how surprising could it be, really?). If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to check it out on Disney+ before listening in, because we do get into spoilers; but otherwise, please join us for the discussion–and keep the discussion going in our Reel World Discord Server (link below). And in the meantime, don’t have a good day; have a great day!

When Talk Gets Reel...

Mikey and his band of merry men (and women) get to the heart of pop culture in a way that reveals God’s truth. It’s not just about whether the movie ‘is good’—but an examination of culture and Christ together. Great job!
