Popcorn Theology FOREVER! David and James are joined by Kat - seems appropriate as they cover Black Panther - as they dive into the themes of loveless lives, processing grief, vengeance and more in the depths of this thought-provoking and poignant sequel.

This week longtime listener and first time guest host Eric joins David and Miles for part 2 of our exploration of the Rings of Power. Our opinions differed on the show itself, but we remained united in our fight against the dark forces of mindless entertainment. Rings of power inspired discussions on the honorable choice to help one another, the struggle against evil, the hope of redemption, and the deceptive nature of spiritual evil.
