The times they are a-changin' at Popcorn Theology. While we will continue releasing our flagship weekly episodes, we are also thrilled to introduce a brand NEW series! "In The Lobby" features 15-20 minute weekly episodes that explore themes extending beyond a particular film. These episodes will also feature special guests and include live Q&A. 
We have also updated Patreon, allowing our "Patron Saints" to gain this exclusive content, as well as a free gift, discounts on merchandise, and other new benefits! Watch the video linked above to see the details, or go to patreon.com/popcorntheology.   
 

The first episode of our brand new series "In The Lobby" is available now on Youtube. David and James had a fascinating discussion with author and financial expert David Bahnsen about work, life, and purpose in film. This discussion will be released in weekly episodes over the month of May, and is exclusive to our "Premium Seating" Patron Saints. But this first episode is a free sample; we hope you enjoy the discussion!

This episode will shake you out of your fugue state! Hopefully Kat won’t choke on the themes as she joins James and David for a look at the sophomore year of this acclaimed show. James dares to say something negative about this season, David and Kat examine the escalation and ripples of temptation and sin, and the crew discuss a pride so great it can’t accept charity. What else might they fish out of the narrative pool? Or will it all come crashing down on their heads?

It’s a battle royale as our hosts - like Godzilla versus Kong - wrestle over the quality of this latest monsterverse installment! But James, Eric, and guest host “James the Younger” all surface some curious observations about the film’s Moses motif, the sovereignty of God(zilla) and a curious parallel with Revelation chapter 20. Want some kaiju-sized conversation? We gotcha.

Miles and James take the call and cruise through the frozen landscape of New York looking for what haunts this latest Ghostbusters installment! From rarely discussed biblical ideas of where evil spirits come from to the film’s shockingly trad view of parenting and relationships, there’s plenty of things to discuss. Just remember: don’t cross the themes! It would be bad.
