    The Devil Wears Prada 2 | Christian Movie Review (ep 424)

    20 years ago we found out what kind of shoes the Devil wears, this year we will find out if the Devil can survive changes in the new media landscape. Join Rory and Miles, who have minimal fashion sense, but an impeccable sense for film and theology as they discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2. They dissect how the world of high fashion conflicts with a Christian worldview, how our antagonists seek to defend the good, the true, and the beautiful and how this sequel creates a bit of growth in our main characters as they wrestle with their own imperfection.  Chapters: 0:24 - Welcome & Summary 2:45 - Popcorn Ratings 4:33 - Theology Ratings 6:30 - Subscribe, Share, Support 7:47 - Ads 9:47 - SPOILER WARNING 13:25 -Why is Miranda the Devil? 22:59 - The Pursuit of Beauty and Integrity 42:40 - We cant be Perfect 53:00 - Lightning Round 1:01:01 - Until Next Time… Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.

    Daredevil Born Again Season 2 | Christian Review (Ep 423)

    The Revolution will be televised! Season One was called "Born Again" but definitely had labor pains; join us as we take the pulse of Season Two and discuss the highs and lows of Season Two, where it recaptures the magic of the original series and where it blindly stumbles. Mercy and Grace are prominent themes, but does the show understand these terms biblically? Miles and James deliberate; but you are the jury. Watch the episode here.

    The Devil's Advocate | Christian Movie Review (Ep 422)

    Behold! We send James and Eric out as mindful sheep among mindless wolves. You've been summoned to consider the case of what many consider a film and theology classic - is it the best depiction of the Devil ever put to film? Are the temptations in this cautionary tale worth the spot-on portrayal of how our spiritual enemies assail us, or should objections be sustained? Take a short recess with us as we judge Pacino's performance, defending and prosecuting the film's themes. Let the jury decide! Watch the episode here.
