#83 - Touched by an Angel 06/30/2025

#83 - Touched by an Angel Ryan and Dan are joined by Kristen McKenzie of Highwire Improv to talk about an episode of Touched by an Angel featuring a young Alyson Hannigan. Questions are raised about how far into the future angels can see, what their spending limit is, and why God's hands seem to be tied when it comes to American healthcare. Also, fax machines are destroying our children!! /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/37213355

#82 - Cosmic Conflict: The Origin of Evil 06/23/2025

#82 - Cosmic Conflict: The Origin of Evil Here's what we were able to piece together from this week's movie: Long ago, God created a perfect race of angels. And one of the angels was more perfect than any of them. He was so perfect that he was actually the worst one. And he started breaking God's laws, which none of the angels understood because nobody had ever broken them before. The evil angel started a rebellion against God, which God refused to destroy because otherwise it might have led to rebellion. Then God felt lonely so he created a new planet with humans, and it was a perfect paradise, so perfect that it was surprisingly easy for Satan to corrupt. God seems to be 0 for 2 with perfect paradises. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/37108325

#80 - Conclave 06/09/2025

#80 - Conclave The pope has died, but for one weekend, two down-on-their-luck bishops need to keep the world convinced that he's still alive, all while trying to hide from the mob. Featuring elaborate comedy set pieces and a hilarious musical number written by Weird Al, this is one movie you don't want to miss! Weekend at Benedict's comes to theaters this July! /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36912390

#79 - In Gramps' Shoes 06/02/2025

#79 - In Gramps' Shoes Gramps is back! Dan and Ryan dive back into the world of Donald James Parker in order to discuss the cinematic disaster that is In Gramps' Shoes. It's a gripping story about a woman drowning in four thousand dollars of debt, who reconnects with her estranged, Harry Potter-hating father. He changes their lives and shows off his favorite baseball hat. The movie also runs a quick errand to Walmart for a strange assortment of items that have nothing to do with the story, but it's nice to know that someone grabbed potato chips while they were out. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36808200

#78 - NOOMA and Rob Bell 05/28/2025

#78 - NOOMA and Rob Bell Dan and Ryan learn some heartfelt lessons about making babies cry and setting your local woods on fire while dropping some life-changing knowledge about Hebrew words and the trials and tribulations of Mr. Dill Tudd. #lovewins /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36723020

#77 - Mark Lowry: "Remotely Controlled" 05/26/2025

#77 - Mark Lowry: "Remotely Controlled" Dan and Ryan discuss a comedy special from Christian comedian Mark Lowry featuring very little stand-up and an awful lot of fake commercials and Christian cameos. Be sure to watch on YouTube! /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36707675

#76 - A Thief in the Night 05/20/2025

#76 - A Thief in the Night There are some who walk among us, warriors who live by an ancient code, who seem like normal people but whose blood protects them from the venom of cobras. Unfortunately their story remains untold. Instead, this week Dan and Ryan discuss the rapture movie that started it all, and by "all," I mean, all of Dan's anxiety about life and reality. This horror movie from the 70s had a major impact on the Christian film industry, but no matter how significant it may be, Cobra Man will always come first in our hearts. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36634945

#75.5 - DC Talk: "Jesus Freak" 05/19/2025

#75.5 - DC Talk: "Jesus Freak" Ryan and Dan discuss the Christian music industry's attempt at a grunge anthem. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36620125

#75 - 7th Street Theater 05/12/2025

#75 - 7th Street Theater Dan and Ryan discuss what is quite possibly one of the strangest, most incoherent TV shows ever produced. It's all about a Christian theater that is almost certainly a money laundering front for Mr. Wheeler, a man who probably wears a cowboy hat and probably has some shady dealings with "the cartel." None of that is in the show, but if Mr. Wheeler continues down his dark path, the fine folks at 7th Street Theater could be caught in the crossfire. Or is that just Gates' snakes?? /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36529445

#74 - Psalty the Singing Songbook 05/07/2025

#74 - Psalty the Singing Songbook Dan and Ryan enter the nightmarish world of Psalty, a sentient book of Christian songs who may or may not be keeping horrible genetically-altered creatures enslaved in his home. It's okay, the kids seem to love it! /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36434010

#73 - The Mosquito Coast 05/05/2025

#73 - The Mosquito Coast This week it's a good movie! Never mind what Roger Ebert says. Dan and Ryan discuss the 1986 film The Mosquito Coast starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix. They also talk about various issues related to church mission trips. At the end they battle a horde of giant mosquitos, and one of them dies! I'm almost certain that's how the episode ends. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36433975

#72.5 - Mike Huckabee's Jukebox of Misery 05/01/2025

#72.5 - Mike Huckabee's Jukebox of Misery Dan and Ryan discuss the awful comedic stylings of former presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee while dissecting a "funny" news segment from his late night talk show on TBN. Then Dan shares four memes based on Huckabee tweets that got him banned from the r/standupshots subreddit. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36384300

#72 - Six: The Mark Unleashed 04/28/2025

#72 - Six: The Mark Unleashed Dan and Ryan discuss a movie about the end times that pretends to star Stephen Baldwin and Eric Roberts. There's car chases with speeds as high as ten. And a former sex-worker who speaks like a robot and then dies like she's pretending to take a lil nap. There's redundancies, quantum computers, summer camps pretending to be cities, and, um, Lewis. This one is weird, folks. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36334460

#71 - Iron Man Gets Crucified 04/21/2025

#71 - Iron Man Gets Crucified Dan and Ryan revisit the fever dream that is the Church of the Rock in Canada. They watch a combined total of three Easter plays and come away with more questions than they started with. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36239095

#70.5 - Harry Potter and the School of Prayer and Miracles ch. 4 04/16/2025

#70.5 - Harry Potter and the School of Prayer and Miracles ch. 4 In which Ryan destroys his vocal cords as he warns us about the political career of a congressman whose name shall not be spoken. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/36110990

#70 - The Girl Who Believes in Miracles 04/14/2025

#70 - The Girl Who Believes in Miracles Miracles - anyone can do them! Or can they? In this movie, a little girl who may or may not be a teenager can do them, but she also says that she can't. But later she says that anyone can. If you need more information about this, talk to Sam Donovan on Crestline. We don't know who he is but apparently he changes lives. But the movie's not about him, it's about God and dead birds and an angry doctor, and it has a very special appearance by a sinister wolf.

#68 - Michael 02/19/2024

#68 - Michael John Travolta is an angel who swears and smokes cigarettes and eats a lot of sugar and is the desire of every woman on the planet except for Andie MacDowell, who is too busy hiding her shameful secret about how she babysits dogs. This is a super weird, super goofy movie from the 90s that was much, much easier to watch than any movie Ryan has ever picked for us. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/30007903

#67 - The Late Great Planet Earth 01/22/2024

#67 - The Late Great Planet Earth In a sense, this is the Citizen Kane of bad Christian movies. Also the world is going to end about forty years ago. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/29587473

#66 - Pickleball Princess 01/02/2024

#66 - Pickleball Princess What better way to start the new year off than with the latest and greatest from Donald James Parker? This week we watched Pickleball Princess, which turned out not to be a religious movie, except in the sense that pickkeball seems to be Donald's new religion. Pickleball is basically the Messiah in this movie. It can cure racism and build bridges, but it also has a deadly side. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/29299628

#65 - The Encounter: Paradise Lost 11/27/2023

#65 - The Encounter: Paradise Lost Jesus' diner has closed for business, so now he's vacationing in Thailand and making new friends. You know what that means - it's the hit sequel to The Encounter, only this time, Jesus is taken hostage. David A. R. White is here too, as the world's worst policeman, but he's tied to a chair for most of the movie. Thankfully, Jesus can break the tension by revealing everyone's deepest darkest secrets without their permission. He's also going to explain why tsunamis happen. There's a few gunfights in this movie, but Jesus doesn't participate in those. It's not like he can stop bullets... OR CAN HE? Maybe, but either way he won't. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28797673

#64 - Divine Influencer 11/20/2023

#64 - Divine Influencer Kids these days, they're 29 and have major social media followings, am I right? Thankfully some parents out there still know how to raise their kids right, by waiting until their birthday, leaving the country, cutting them off, and forcing them into a life of poverty and homelessness until they can learn how to put God first. Dan, Alexa, and Ryan learn that what really matters in life is not money or fame, but networking. Featuring a special guest appearance by Stanley the Snake. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28715818

#63.5 - Harry Potter and the School of Prayer and Miracles - ch. 3 11/15/2023

#63.5 - Harry Potter and the School of Prayer and Miracles - ch. 3 In which Ryan continues the saga of Harry Potter, very continuingly. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28614078

#63 - C Me Dance 11/13/2023

#63 - C Me Dance It's all very simple: Satan drives a semi-trailer truck, which he uses to kill a lady so that her infant daughter Sheri can someday grow up and be diagnosed with a terminal illness that leads her to become a Pentecostal superhero. With her newfound powers, Sheri stops middle-aged high school bullies, hypnotizes TV executives, and shuts down whole movie productions. And Satan hates it! So he sniffs her and her dad a lot, and watches her dance. Then, in a climactic showdown, Sheri tells a church not to watch scary movies. Satan just sort of disappears after that, we're not really sure why. But then, in a major plot twist, the real villain turns out to be God all along. Folks, it's the Christian classic C Me Dance. The C is for "chaos." /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28610373

#62 - The Ravine 11/10/2023

#62 - The Ravine A faith-based movie with F bombs! And murder! And angels that seem to be slacking off on their job of stopping terrible things from happening. This week, Dan, Alexa, and Ryan watch their first R-rated faith-based film, which comes with an important lesson about forgiveness. Or something. There's also a murder mystery that goes nowhere, a detective who does nothing, and a woman who knows everything that happens in heaven but still can't clearly explain anything. Don't worry though: behind this inspirational message about faith and grief, there's an underlying message about how to get rich. Because you were born rich, and you have the power within to unlock your sales potential and form better client relationships. Even Jesus couldn't have seen that coming. /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28579638

#61 - The Story Keepers 11/06/2023

#61 - The Story Keepers Imagine an episode of Pinky and the Brain where Brain feeds Pinky to a cat, and you have a basic idea of what this Christian cartoon is like. Nero is killing all the Christians in Rome, and that means it's time for some hilarious antics where four probably-orphans have to run for their lives to avoid being sold into slavery. And it's all very wacky and zany! This was a listener request! If there's any faith-based media that you'd like us to watch, please let us know, we'd love to share your trauma! /episode/index/show/4b4be84d-bd04-4150-9430-94eb48a3a9d7/id/28525163
