This is The Wisdom of Bad Movies, a podcast dedicated to the idea, "Things aren’t as bad as they seem." I'm Tony Baugh. I’m a PhD student, philosopher, teacher, and writer trying to find the redemptive in the ordinary, especially in ordinary movies. I’m on a search to see if disregarded (sometimes forgotten) films, movies that no one seems to care about or take seriously, can be learned from. Join me on this journey!

    Episode 4: Heavyweights (1995) and Discovering Community in Authenticity ft. Pastor Tory Dillard

    Summertime is in full effect, and this month we’re looking at Heavyweights (1995), a quirky bad movie from my childhood days that my dad famously thought had too much cursing in it to be rated PG. This episode we delve into what can possibly be gleaned from being true to yourself when the world around you wants to make you be like it. We have a very special guest this episode—my friend, Pastor Tory Dillard! Hosted by Tony Baugh Produced and Edited by Rashad Jones
