My thoughts on the Marvel's multiverse story about Dr. Strange vs. The Scarlet Witch. Just in time for Spooky Season :)

I saw Dr. Strange in theaters on opening weekend and walked out pretty frustrated with how they handled Wanda's story arc and it really put a bad taste in my mouth. Now that it's out on Disney+ and I needed a good movie for spooky season (Happy Halloween!) I revisited it, and while some of my issues with the movie still stand, I was able to appreciate some of the storytelling choices on rewatch.

I hope you enjoy my review and thoughts on the two primary themes of moral decision making and our bad choices not defining us. Enjoy

A conversation about the cultural and faith impact of the latest Disney hit

Taylor shares his thoughts on the latest Disney+ Marvel series
A look at the hit tv series through a Catholic world view

Taylor shares his love for this series, has a conversation about mystery, the Egyptian gods, character growth and the one misstep he thought the series made. If you haven't gotten a chance to watch this series yet, please do yourself a favor and watch this great six episode season!

Boy was this movie bad! But it definitely has a couple themes I wanted to pull out and discuss from a Catholic lens. Just in time for spooky season!

I heard all the bad pub that Morbius was getting and watched the movie become a meme as Sony floundered and got confused by the public reaction. They re-released it in theaters and I STILL chose not to go see it. I waited until it became free to watch on streaming, grabbed some snacks, sat down with my wife and we laughed AT this movie, yelled at the parts that don't make sense(most of it) and wasted our time lol.

I hope you enjoy my recap, review and then deep dive into two themes that are actually kinda intriguing from this terrible movie.
