This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?"

Systematic Geekology
Our show focuses around our favorite fandoms that we discuss from a Christian perspective. We do not try to put Jesus into all our favorite stories, but rather we try to ask the questions the IPs are asking, then addressing those questions from our perspective. We are not all ordained, but we are the Priests to the Geeks, in the sense that we try to serve as mediators between the cultures around our favorite fandoms and our faith communities.

What if Count Dooku trained Obi Wan?
You voted on Facebook and we're here to deliver another What if episode! This time we're asking what if Count Dooku trained Obi Wan Kenobi? To ponder this one, we have hosts, Will Rose, John Erderly, Andy Walsh, and TJ Blackwell joining forces! We try to think through all the repercussions of Obi Wan's training on himself, on Anakin, and even on Luke and the rest of the Skywalkers!
.
Why was Dooku never a Darth? Why did Dooku hate the Jedi? Why is Obi-Wan called Ben? Why did Obi-Wan lose on purpose? Who is the most powerful Jedi? Could Dooku defeat Darth Maul? Would Obi Wan remain more loyal to the Jedi way or to his master? Could Dooku have given Anakin an alternative route? We discuss all this and more in this one!

Should Mulan be considered a Disney Princess?
We're back with another entry in our Disney Eras series! TJ Blackwell and Elizabeth (Pangalangan) Clyde discuss the Renaissance Era animated film, Mulan! This is our third and final film we will be reviewing from this era before moving on to reviewing some post-renaissance films!
.
Why did Disney change the story of Mulan? Why did Disney make Mulan in 1998? Why was Mushu removed from Mulan? Why did China not like Mulan the movie? How did they find out Mulan was a girl? How culturally accurate is Mulan? Why is the new Mulan so different? What defines a woman or a princess? We discuss all this and more in this one! Join in the conversation with us on Discord now!
