Do you like to talk to tomatoes? You probably don't, because that's not a common interest! But maybe, just maybe, you'd like to hear us talk ABOUT tomatoes. Not to mention cucumbers, asparagus, grapes, and also the lord and savior Jesus Christ!... that last one seems like an odd fit. Check out the world's first ever podcast about the Christian children's animated sensation, Veggietales, as we put far too much effort into figuring out the internal logic of this dumb cartoon for babies, as well as analyze the series' religious messages and how they relate to modern mainstream Christianity, which, if you didn't notice, can be kinda messed up sometimes!

    WPWIS Ep 21: Back From Camp

    WPWIS Ep 21: Back From Camp

    We're back from Actual Play Camp, with a little trip across the lake to Anime Camp, to talk VeggieTales again! It's two mostly fine stories about being nice while we try to piece back together our dumb lore.

    Episode 41: Let Me Tell You About The End

    Episode 41: Let Me Tell You About The End

    It’s the end? It is! The long awaited fourth and final Rebuild movie has finally come out and both Ashley and Luke are surprised it came out. They look at the questions the series has left us. What if someone was a responsible adult? Why are these kids so horny? Is this movie too meta? And what was Mari’s point at the end of the day?

    WPWIS 20: The Heathen Plastic

    WPWIS 20: The Heathen Plastic

    We arrive a little bit late to the Easter episode but it’s okay cause Easter is gonna last FOREVER in this Christmas Carol parody. We talk about how it squanders the original story, the weird grudge against plastic and get mad at the idea of only being moral if there’s a heaven.

    WPWIS 19: Bob's Profit Prison

    WPWIS 19: Bob's Profit Prison

    We are finally back, and the episode might be short but we still dig into coats, casual slavery, bible jerks and bad rap numbers.

    WPWIS 18: WEED EATER

    WPWIS 18: WEED EATER

    God always loves us, even when we make mistakes! Mistakes like mashing together a weird cgi film festival, random songs and a half baked satire of “lol random” humor into one thing. Well, at least it’s futuristic!

    WPWIS 17: Goof Juice

    WPWIS 17: Goof Juice

    Emily joins for a show that seems to exist in the aftermath of the great failure of Big Ideas. Bob and Larry want to put on a show and they’ve forgotten the good word. So they decide to steal from children. Bit of a mixed metaphor. Also there’s a lot of talk about death fearing kids, goofs and musicals.

This is a veggietales podcast now and it's great

In this podcast, the hosts Luke and Molly go through Veggietales, a CGI christian direct-to-video cartoon series, easily one of the most famous of its caliber. There is usually a guest, and when the guest is brought on they'll open with a discussion on the guests history with religion and their history with Veggietales. These discussions go into the nature of religious culture, particularly american christian culture.

The main discussion focuses on being critical of the show's morals, as well as trying to find explanations to its cartoon logic where vegetables exist and eat decidedly non-people vegetables. There is also heavy discussion of series creator Phil Vischer and trying to observe his political beliefs (which he seems to avoid discussing most of the time).

It's very funny and insightful and I highly recommend it.

Making It Cleaner

Please make it cleaner cuz I can’t handle VeggieTales being an explicit podcast.
