"It shows you things... horrible things.â Our Patron Saint supporters sent us a distress signal and we sent two Popcorn Theologians to check if thereâs any life left in this film, reappearing from its cinematic origins in 1997. What they find has scared lapsed churchgoers back to their faith, and surprised many sci-fi fans with an unexpected journey into the supernatural. Will Eric and James survive, or will this frightening film be their last assignment? Join us and find outâŠ

Eric and Maddy cover one of the more controversy inducing shows in recent memory. Does this show have anything compelling to say? Is it good? Is it bad? or does it commit the worst story telling sin: being boring?
Wherever you land on these questions there are still many themes to receive and redeem and a good reminder that there is a wind that will carry believers far beyond the reaches of the enemy and the enemy can never follow.

Donât say the name of this episode out loud! Kat and James get their goth on and tackle these two Tim Burton comedies separated by 36 years yet so eerily similar. Like the ghost, this episode has the most as they discuss the cultural impact of Lydia Deetz and goth subculture, the movieâs skewed view of the afterlife, and the extremes of non-belief regarding spirits versus an unhealthy interest in them.
