    Nature Finds a Way: Jurassic Park - Episode 36 - The Polymath Roundtable

    When the soundtrack makes a film with iconic dinosaurs and Jeff Goldblum take second billing, you have to sit up and take notice. Today we discuss one of my favorite films, Jurassic Park. Incredible composing and iconic musical themes set the stage for a thrilling tale that actually beats the odds to create a film better than the original book.  9.5/10 stars, masterful production that easily stands up to the test of time. Fantastic themes of family and responsibility, with insightful discussion on topics like ethics of animal theme parks, extinction, cloning, and genetic modification.  For more episodes or text reviews, go to https://polymathroundtable.com/ Please review on Podchaser: https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-polymath-roundtable-994342 And consider supporting the continued production of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/polymathroundtable/support

    Memorial Day Tribute - War Films and Kipling - Episode 35

    "Gung to work, Ho in Harmony." With these words, the fictional Lt. Col. Thorvald sets forth his vision for the Makin Island Marine Raiders. Based on a true story with minimal propaganda movie machinations, Randolph Scott leads a star studded cast in the 1943 war film Gung Ho! I rate this very highly, the story is remarkably free from historical shenanigans and presents a simple tale of war and derringdo. No content issues to be aware of, only a minor romance sub plot, but does depict the death and loss in war. On memorial day we remember all those who have died for their country, good or bad, black hats or white steeds. Even in the face of great evil and righteous war, humans are still made in the image of God and death should be mourned. We thank those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

    Netflix Reincarnated Avatar the Last Airbender - Episode 34 - The Polymath Roundtable

    In the world of animated TV, few shows are quite as treasured in the US as Avatar: The Last Airbender which is back on Netflix now! Its a brilliant show but has a lot of troubles because of the pagan roots of the world. Be aware of that, you probably don't want to blindly let your children watch this without being ready to discuss Asian spirituality and reincarnation beliefs and why we as Christians believe differently. I rate the story an 8/10 but the pagan elements force me to rate it as whole a 5/10 max.

    Retro Movie Rewind: The Bells of San Angelo - The Polymath Roundtable Episode 33

    ROY ROGERS!!!! In today's episode of the Retro Movie Rewind, I'm going to talk about the singing cowboys and The Bells of San Angelo. This was the absolute first cowboy film I ever watched as a kid, and what helped kick-off a lifelong love of the classic singing cowboys. 10/10, simple plots but clean and completely wrapped up. Appropriate for all ages.

    Abominable or Agreeable: You Decide - Episode 32 - The Polymath Roundtable

    A welcome reprieve after watching Onward last month and being disappointed deeply, Abominable is up for discussion today! Great music and hugely artistic visuals, stunning on that aspect. Abominable rates a solid 8.5 for me! Minor philisophical issues, but overall a fantastic film. Happily recommended.

    Dial Stargate Command - Episode 30

    From classic action TV shows to the far reaches of the galaxy, Richard Dean Anderson leaps from the days of swiss army knife fixes to walking on far worlds. Stargate SG-1 is a brilliant sci-fi television drama with a huge amount of philosophical discussion. Not suitable for kids based on stressful situations and awkward philosophy that is not presented in the light of Christianity requiring more intensive thought and processing. Also creepy parasites. 8/10, minor sexual content in just a couple episodes across 10 seasons.

    Retro Movie Rewind - The Love Bug - Episode 29

    I grew up watching classic movies, and starting today we are diving into the glorious world of classic films! Our first Retro Movie Rewind is.....The Love Bug featuring the iconic Herbie! Its like Steve McQueen starring in It's A Wonderful Life, Now with 50% more Car! Pseudo-spirituality, and glorious classic cars make this an odd duck of a heart warming film. 8/10 rating, minor spiritual confusion issues.
