WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen
Reel World Theology
Don’t worry. Nothing is wrong here. We’re not stuck inside a hex, kept prisoner by a chaos witch who literally makes us feel her pain as she feels it. We aren’t forced to play roles that are pastiches of famous sitcoms of decades past. Don’t worry. We’re just talking about WandaVision, and how great and funny it is! It doesn’t have anything to do with grief or trauma or a global pandemic. Just enjoy your time in Westview! Connect with us: Contact [email protected] if you want to contribute! In this episode, we talked about: Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten...

Free Guy: Liberty to the NPCs
Reel World Theology
This episode is all about 2021’s surprisingly good video game movie, Free Guy (well, I mean, it had Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi in it, so how surprising could it be, really?). If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to check it out on Disney+ before listening in, because we do get into spoilers; but otherwise, please join us for the discussion–and keep the discussion going in our Reel World Discord Server (link below). And in the meantime, don’t have a good day; have a great day! Connect with us: Contact [email protected] if you want to contribute! In this episode,...

S07 E07 - 40: The Temptation of Christ and the Powerful Necessity of Suffering
Reel World Theology
On this episode of the Reel World Theology: This episode ballooned from a written article into a full-fledged podcast episode. Friend of Reel World Theology, Reed Lackey, wrote the movie 40: The Temptation of Christ and it debuted this past April. Since Fizz isn't driving this plane, we need two staffers, David Atwell and Josh Crabb, to occupy the co-pilot chairs. We discuss Reed's movie and its international take on Christ as he is tempted in the desert. This movie takes a fascinating angle to Christ's encounter with Satan in the wilderness and centers around the morality of suffering. We...

Why does it connect with people this time of year? We hash it out and talk about what makes this one a yearly revisit for many folks. Enjoy!

S07 E05 - The Rise of Skywalker and Choosing Our Family
Reel World Theology
On this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: What more appropriate way to end an up and down 2019 than with what will likely be one of the most disagreed upon films of the year, The Rise of Skywalker. Leve it to Star Wars, their fans, and the critics to create a whirlwind of expectations that couldn't possibly be met. However, Where did we land on the film? Was it good? Bad? Somewhere in the middle? What about that one decision about Rey? Why did it connect with some audiences and not others? How did our enjoyment (or not) of The Last Jedi directly affect this one? Boy, do we have...

S07 E04 - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Seeing Humanity
Reel World Theology
On this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: In a world of division and social media outrage, it is occasionally nice to have a refreshing voice reminding us of the kinder side of humanity. A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood longs to remind audiences to be their best selves and to also never forget the power that one life, earnestly lived, can impact countless others. We discuss how the film holds up to the documentary that came out last year and give some hot takes on Tom Hanks as our Mr. Rogers stand-in. Enjoy!
