Discerning Media Discussion from a Christian Perspective
Today we tackle the controversial subject of the new highly acclaimed Pixar film, Onward. My rating: 1 star out of 5, NOT FOR KIDS. The first 3 minutes of the episode are spoiler free, But the verdict is grim. This is one Pixar film that tugs on many heart strings and then twists them in knots. I will definitely NOT be showing this one to my little siblings.

Leave a CommentA master production of suspense and cinematography, the Classic series of The Twilight Zone defined the genre for decades. A chilling look at the fears of a world without the Hope of Christ. Not for the faint of heart or quarantined people. đŸ™‚

Leave a CommentComing from the Classic TV archive, Macguyver is a dearly remembered and treasured part of my childhood. Today we talk briefly about the original series and the new rebooted Macguyver on CBS. In short, given the sample size so far, the reboot is not as good as the original by far, but it has hints of the original heart and soul. 3/5 so far, hoping to raise the score. Warnings for language and mild suggestive content.

Leave a CommentI saw Sonic the Hedgehog in the theater and enjoyed it despite a lack of any nostalgic rose coloured lenses. 4 stars, but not going on my shelf. Clean, fairly funny, good messages about family and relationships.

Leave a CommentSecond episode of my look at the new Star Trek series. It’s short and late, but here are my thoughts on Picard Episode 2. Lots of world building but not much in earth shattering reveals unlike episode one.

Leave a CommentTom Holland and Will Smith rocking their newest roles as a Nerd scientist and James Bond Knockoff respectively team up together for an amusing caper with some oddly pacificist undertones. Its fun, but there is some odd philosophy that you will want to keep an eye on.

Leave a CommentToday we start a brand new series of podcasts, a weekly breakdown of the new Star Trek series on CBS, Picard. This will be posted as close as feasible to Thursday each week when the new episode airs, and will discuss the series on a 2 week delay so as not to spoil it for people watching live.
In short, the new episode features many of the usual offenders when it comes to speculative fiction in an atheist world setting, with the new addition of a plot designed to make the creation of life a human achievement via advanced AI. Not recommended for younger individuals due to obscured lines between good and evil and morally ambiguous.

I saw Knives Out this week, and absolutely LOVED it. It’s one of my favorite movies I have seen so far this year, and worthy of joining Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, featuring the suave Benoit Blanc. Absolute winner of a film!

You know, I really tried to like it. I badly wanted to like it, but the salacious content just is far too much to ignore. More information in todays episode.
