I listen faithfully to several other SQPN podcasts but started becoming more interested in listening to the perspectives of the panelists in discussing a very wide spectrum of movies from Inside Out 2 to Bohemian Rhapsody and Minority Report to MCU and DC movies. Whether it is covering science fiction or faith movies like Father Stu, the panelists bring a unique view in the intersection of movie and TV culture and faith. I have been watching or rewatching movies and then listening to a lot of the older podcast episodes. Everyone should be able to find episodes for some of their favorite movie or TV shows.
Flipping love it
