Popcorn Theology

Listen up newbie, our episode on Scrubs may be the best that ever came through this dump. Miles was the first and only podcaster James and David ever met who loved this show as much as they do. And you can forget about this show being just an exceptional "sitcom". Fact of the matter is, it's an exceptional treatise on life under the sun, period. That's why people gravitated toward it, and that's why we review it. Theology-Five!    We discuss several themes that run throughout the show, but these are the episodes that featured most prominently in the episode: 101 - My First Day 115 - My Bed Banter & Beyond 208 - My Fruit Cups 314 - My Screw Up 504 - My Jiggly Ball 614 - My No Good Reason 818 - My Finale   If you like what you are hearing and want to help support our show, consider pledging to support us over on Patreon!

Meow! We asked our Patreon Supporters to select a Christmas movie, and they "picked a cute one". Tragic irony, or poetic justice? Fortunately nothing surprises us anymore, so Miles Wallace Returns to join us for some Bat-banter (turns out James and Miles might have been bunkies at Prep School).

Join Richard and James this week as they discuss a 'Summer Popcorn Movie' that may have flown under the radar for many of us, Love and Monsters!    The movie actually deals with some pretty providential ideas and gave us plenty to talk about. How safe are we really? At what point does the cost we pay for safety outweigh its value - when does the risk become warranted? All that on top of ideas of made family, love as having more meaning and application than merely romantic, and more!
