WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen
March 18, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBDon’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 ...
Free Guy: Liberty to the NPCs
February 26, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBThis 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! Conn...

S07 E07 - 40: The Temptation of Christ and the Powerful Necessity of Suffering
July 17, 2020 13:00 - 1 hour - 89.9 MBOn 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...
S07 E06 - A Christmas Story and Magic in the Margins
December 25, 2019 14:00 - 44 minutes - 28.9 MBOn this Christmas episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: As we do every year, we take a look at a Christmas classic. This year we are compelled to talk about a movie that has varying degrees of appreciation among the RWT staff. Because of this, we rewatch and talk about A Christmas Story. Does it hold up over time? 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
December 23, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MBOn 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...
S07 E04 - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Seeing Humanity
November 25, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MBOn 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 o...
S07 E03 - Zombieland: Double Tap and Sequel Necessity
November 05, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: While maybe not an awards contender in 2019, we talk about a movie that we have been anticipating for nearly a decade, a Zombieland sequel. Is it fun? Was it worth the wait? Does it really have anything to say? When do we need sequels? We discuss. Enjoy!
S07 E03 Zombieland: Double Tap and Sequel Necessity
November 05, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: While maybe not an awards contender in 2019, we talk about a movie that we have been anticipating for nearly a decade, a Zombieland sequel. Is it fun? Was it worth the wait? Does it really have anything to say? When do we need sequels? We discuss. Enjoy!
S07 E02 - Ad Astra and a Cosmic Letdown
October 31, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: We continue the latest season of the show talking about one of the most discussed movies that came out during our break, Ad Astra. This movie had a lot going for it, from the cast to a trailer that ticked a lot of sci-fi fan boxes. It also was pushed back to a September release, which is usually a bad sign. Where did this film land for us? Why do we think that some people thought this was a snooze-fest while others thought it was one of the...
S07 E01 - Joker and the Final Joke
October 25, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: There has been a lot of conversation (and worry) about the effect that the new Joker film could have on our culture. While this may be another case of over-reaction to a movie that people hadn't yet seen, it remains a divisive film critically. What is the film saying, if anything? There was always a worry about a movie that explored the Joker's past only spoiling the character but does the film actually give us the best of both worlds? We e...

Reel World: Rewind #042 - Zombieland
October 15, 2019 13:00 - 45 minutes - 20.9 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind: Josh finally gets Fizz back on Rewind to talk about a movie he loves to talk about, the 2009 Ruben Fleischer movie Zombieland. With the recent release of the surprise sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap, Fizz and Josh explore their history with the movie, as well as the delightful characters in this movie and one surprise appearance of Bill Murray in probably his best cameo/smaller role in a movie. Ultimately, this movie falls right into the Reel World wheel...
Reel World: Rewind #041 – Sunshine
September 16, 2019 13:00 - 48 minutes - 25.3 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind - Reel World staff members Josh Crabb and Blake Collier are discussing Danny Boyle's 2007 thought-provoking Sci-Fi movie, Sunshine. A portentous movie about a not-so-implausible future where the sun is dying, Boyle's movie ponders transcendence, spirituality, death, and duty. Blake and Josh reflect on some of the quieter moments of the movie but also address the criticisms of the final third and how it may not be as disjointed and abrupt as people have m...
Reel World: Rewind #040 – Jaws
August 15, 2019 13:00 - 37 minutes - 19.9 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind - Closing out the summer on a high note, Reel World staffer Josh Crabb invites on his old podcast pal, Blaine Grimes, to discuss a movie that holds incredible significance for Blaine, Steven Spielberg's Jaws. They talk about how the movie remains significant almost 45 years later, what it can teach modern filmmakers and audiences, and concludes with a very personal reflection by Blaine. This is a "do-not-miss" episode of Rewind.
#207 - Stranger Things 3 and Commoditized Community
August 14, 2019 17:14 - 1 hour - 50.9 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: The most popular show on NETFLIX is back and brings with it all the nostalgia and mystery that we have come to expect. Stranger Things enters its third season and there is no sign that its popularity is waning. We talk about what the latest edition to the Stranger-verse does for the show's mythos and lore. We also talk about the interweaving of messaging from both the inclusion of Russians and malls into the latest season. All in all, just ...
#206 - Spider-Man: Far From Home and Absolute True Facts
July 25, 2019 13:27 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Spider-man: Far From Home brings to a close the latest phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Does it truly bring closure? Does it pick up on the incredible success of Homecoming? We have a lot of opinions on why Sony is fine sitting back and letting Disney make them money along with the complexity of the latest Spider-Man installment. The divide between Parker and Spider-Man is sharp, but is it... absolute?
Reel World: Rewind #039 - Apollo 13
July 15, 2019 15:57 - 59 minutes - 30.1 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind... In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, RWT staff members Josh Crabb and David Atwell talk about one of the only movies eligible for Rewind dramatizing an Apollo mission, Ron Howard's Apollo 13. Starring a cavalcade of 1990's stars, this movie highlights the human drama of a real-life crisis, as well as exemplifying humanity's ability to work together to ingeniously solve problems. David and Josh also discuss the movie's ...
#205 - Toy Story 4 and Necessary Metaphors
July 05, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 53.6 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Another Toy Story movie! Wait, did anyone want this? Surely if they decided to follow up on Toy Story 3 the creators are one-hundred percent sure they had a story that needed to be told. Well, a lot of the talk around Toy Story 4 has been about "how necessary" the film was so we discuss that, and the meta-conversation around describing any film that way. We also have a divided panel about how the film rounded out. Let us know what you think!
#204 - Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Mixed Messaging
June 25, 2019 19:25 - 1 hour - 38 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Another special PATRON sponsored episode. Another of our esteemed Patreon sponsors, Hunter and Stephie Van Wagenen, have selected one monster of a film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The 2014 Godzilla film was a hit with the panel but was mixed with audiences and critics. Does King of the Monsters do a good job of following up on its predecessor? Does it lay enough solid groundwork for sequels? We hypothesize.
Reel World: Rewind #038 - The Dark Crystal
June 17, 2019 12:00 - 49 minutes - 25.6 MBOn this episode of the Reel World: Rewind... Journey into "The Age of Wonder" with co-host Josh Crabb and returning co-host Blaine Grimes as they discuss Jim Henson's 1982 visionary classic, The Dark Crystal. Using the bookends of the forthcoming Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, we talk about the filmmaking legacy this movie has left, how it handles the tension of the hero's journey, and also its spiritual aspects of balance and wholeness. Plus, because it's the two hosts ...
#203 - Tolkien and Differing Expectations
June 06, 2019 01:24 - 1 hour - 31.7 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: A special PATRON sponsored episode. One of our esteemed Patreon sponsors, Dave Courtney, has selected the latest biopic about the life of JRR Tolkien. We gather the troops to talk about our reactions to the film and what we were hoping to see from the film, what we actually got, and some of the things that may have connected with audiences that really enjoyed the film. Let us know what you thought!
#202 - Shazam! and the Power of Family
May 24, 2019 12:00 - 1 hour - 40.2 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Before Avengers, there was another superhero movie that was bringing great joy to the masses-- from the DCEU of all places. Shazam! proves that DC's cinematic turnaround isn't stalling anytime soon. With a great balance of comedy and heart, the film introduces a new character to the big screen in a way that is impactful and endearing. We speculate how well it could really do and what makes it so enjoyable.
Reel World: Rewind #037 - The Matrix
May 15, 2019 13:00 - 53 minutes - 27.2 MBOn this episode of the Reel World: Rewind podcast: We know Kung-Fu. Well, not really, unless Gene forgot to tell us he actually DOES know it. However, one thing we do know is The Matrix is a defining movie in the prolific movie year of 1999. In honor of its 20th anniversary, Reel World staffers Gene Gosewehr and Josh Crabb discuss a movie firmly planted in the pantheon of movies Christians love to talk about. This episode posits why that's not a bad thing, why the movie still resonates deepl...
#201 - Avengers: Endgame and Finishing Well
May 06, 2019 13:00 - 2 hours - 69.7 MBOn this episode of the podcast: It's been a long road to Endgame, but we're finally here. We have a show that tries to run the length of the actual film as we talk about the movie's immediate success, how well we thought it tied off the MCU to this point, and what we connected with, in the film. Much like your favorite TV series having its series finale, we remember these past ten years and over twenty films fondly. Whatever it takes!
#200 - 200th Episode Special: A Naval-Gazing Masterclass
April 25, 2019 13:00 - 2 hours - 58.3 MBOn this VERY special, epic episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: We cross the 200th episode line! Well, assuming you're not counting mini-sodes or interviews or, well, anything else special we've done, here we are! We thought it was almost absurd that we made it to 100 so now 200 feels every weirder. Some of our Reel World Staff, Josh Crabb, Mark Wingerter, and David Atwell, join Fizz to talk about their favorite memories from RWT's history and how they even got here in the first place...
Reel World: Rewind #036 - Southland Tales
April 15, 2019 13:00 - 54 minutes - 27.7 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind: Once again, Blake strikes with a challenging and heady movie. Richard Kelly's widely criticized second feature film Southland Tales suffered similar marketing obstacles to his first feature film, the classic film Donnie Darko. Consequentially, his second film has largely been forgotten. Blake Collier and Josh Crabb untangle this serpentine narrative to discuss Kelly's righteous anger, his sharp satirical takedown of LA and popular culture, and how the a...
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: RWT 200th Episode Preview
April 10, 2019 16:29 - 6 minutes - 5.9 MBSPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: RWT 200th Episode Preview. We want to hear from you!
#199 - The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Subverting Our Own Vanity
April 05, 2019 13:34 - 1 hour - 56.6 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: That's right, we're going to squeeze in one more 2018 movie before completely moving on to 2019. It's ok though because we get to talk about one of our favorite movies from 2018, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The latest Coen Brothers film ranks among their best yet. With such an unusual format, what is it about this anthology that strikes a chord with us? We go through each story and talk about what we think the Coens are exploring about de...
#198 - Captain Marvel and Finding Perspective
March 25, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 47.1 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: The Marvel Cinematic Universe cruises right along with another great character addition. Captain Marvel is a film that, like many other films over the past few years featuring female leads in big franchises, garnered a lot of attention before the first person even saw the film. We talk about where that controversy came from along with our impressions of what this film actually did-- both for us as fans and for the MCU.
Reel World: Rewind #035 - Beetlejuice
March 15, 2019 13:00 - 57 minutes - 29.1 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind: It's showtime! With the release of Tim Burton's Disney's live-action Dumbo, it seemed very appropriate to return to Tim Burton and actor Michael Keaton's first collaboration, 1988's Beetlejuice. Co-host Josh Crabb is joined by Reel World staff member Mark Wingerter to dive real deep into the first movie where Tim Burton's aesthetic and vision was allowed to fully bloom. Putting aside Keaton's performance taking the movie to another level, Josh and Mark ...
#197 - The Favourite and Flattery Over Honesty
March 05, 2019 15:12 - 1 hour - 38.4 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: We get to talk about one of our "favourite" films of the year. While Yorgos Lanthimos isn't everyone's cup of tea, he finally made a movie that seems to be accessible to broader audiences. We talk about what is different about this film from his previous films and generally sit in awe of the three leading ladies. Hopefully, you've had the chance to enjoy this one as much as we did.
#196 - Green Book and the Value of a Multi-Cultural Perspective
February 25, 2019 21:05 - 1 hour - 51 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast: Well, I guess we couldn't have planned it better if we tried. A few weeks back we sat down to talk about Green Book not knowing how the Oscars would pan out. Now, the day after, with all kinds of contention, we let you guys hear our conversation on what will now go down in the record book as the 'best' film of 2018. Incredibly divisive and problematic, Green Book is a film that leaves different audiences with very polarizing views and we tr...
Reel World: Rewind #034 - MirrorMask
February 15, 2019 14:00 - 46 minutes - 24.2 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind: Josh is joined by Reel World staff member David Atwell to talk about the 2005 movie, MirrorMask. A UK-based movie produced by Jim Henson Studios, MirrorMask was written by renowned comic book writer and author Neil Gaiman and directed by comic book artist and illustrator Dave McKean. While there might be more famous movies about similar themes, Gaiman and McKean's movie dives into intriguing concepts of handling complex emotions, as well as being artist...
#195 - Into the Spider-Verse and Positive Motivation
February 05, 2019 14:00 - 1 hour - 36.8 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Even though we may have been confused as to why there was another version of Spider-Man coming to our cinemas (especially an animated one), we, and audiences everywhere, quickly found out why. Into the Spider-Verse has been met with incredible reviews and so we take some time to talk about what this film does different, why it has captured audiences attention, and how it thematically stands apart from some of your other superhero films.
#194 - The Rider and Masking Our Brokenness
January 25, 2019 14:54 - 1 hour - 35.3 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: We're back with another Patreon sponsored episode. This time, Patron, and friend of the show, Dave Courtney asked us to chat about The Rider, an independent film that has garnered a lot of praise over the course of 2018. It's likely too small to win any major awards, but it is quite the film considering the small scale and the use of real people instead of actors. We talk about what we liked and what this film has to say about brokenness an...
EXTRA! A Look Back at 2018
January 18, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 33 MBOn this EXTRA! episode of the Reel World Theology podcast... The Staff of RWT get together to talk about their impressions of the 2018 year in film. The good, the bad, the thematic significance! Please enjoy one of our favorite episodes to record every year as we let this EXTRA! out into the wild for all to enjoy. Thanks for listening!
Reel World: Rewind #033 - Unbreakable
January 15, 2019 16:10 - 40 minutes - 21.6 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind... With the upcoming release of M. Night Shyamalan's Glass, it seemed fitting to return to the movie that started it all. Surprising audiences on the back of Shyamalan's Oscar-nominated Sixth Sense, people were excited to see what the director did next. Unbreakable kept audiences guessing and was a surprisingly disguised superhero movie focused on character development and a reluctant hero. We discuss this surprising turn, the controversial ending, as we...
#193 - Aquaman and the Longing for a Compassionate King
January 07, 2019 13:00 - 1 hour - 40.7 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: The latest offering from the DCEU is upon us and we have thoughts. Is this more of the drab symbolism that we got with early DCEU movies or did Aquaman learn some lessons from its Wonder Woman predecessor? And, more importantly, what kind of story does Aquaman hope to tell?
#192 - How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
December 25, 2018 16:59 - 28 minutes - 16.1 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: Merry Christmas! for this special holiday episode, we look at one of the more traditional Christmas specials that we think most closely represents the holiday we love. We talk about what resonates with us and why this is one of the best!
#191 - Creed II and Relationship to the Father
December 03, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 48.8 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: One of the most anticipated movies of 2018 was the follow up to the spectacular Creed. Creed II promised more of the first sprinkled with 100% more Drago. Or Draygo. Or Drogo. However many ways we find to mispronounce it this episode. Regardless, this film can't exist with comparisons to the first and we compare all the things while trying to pull apart all the themes woven in this newest (Ryan Coolger-less) installment.
#190 - Bohemian Rhapsody and Shuffling the Facts
November 20, 2018 14:00 - 1 hour - 50.7 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: While wildly popular with audiences, Bohemian Rhapsody, the latest Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic, is also gathering its detractors. There are a number of reasons, from historical inaccuracies, conveniences, and in the way in which it presents Mercury's sexuality. We dive in, talk about the inaccuracies, and try to focus on the things that the film did do well. We also have the age-old discussion about the difference between a person and thei...
Reel World: Rewind #032 - Wreck-it Ralph
November 15, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 35 MBOn this episode of Reel World: Rewind: With the impending release of Ralph Breaks the Internet, it seemed only fitting to rewind six years to its predecessor, Wreck-It Ralph. It also seemed incredibly fitting to bring back the original co-host of Rewind and Disney fanatic, Blaine Grimes, to talk about this Disney animated feature. Despite featuring a rather familiar plotting and stakes, director Rich Moore crafts a uniquely endearing story rife with retro gaming nostalgia, plenty of kid-frie...
#189 - The Hate U Give and Code-Switching
November 12, 2018 13:00 - 1 hour - 56 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: We talk about one of the most affecting movies of the year, The Hate U Give. While it has not been blowing the doors off the box office, those who have watched this one have rarely walked away without having to really wrestle with a wide array of topics. Based on a wildly popular book, The Hate U Give offers honest and thoughtful conversation to some of the most challenging conflicts of our day in a way that is highly accessible to a wide r...
#188 - Bad Times at the El Royale and the Necessity of Confession
November 01, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 38.6 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: We have another podcast sponsored by one of our generous Patreon donors. Chase Tremaine chose for us to talk about Bad Times at the El Royale. While we all thought the trailer was fantastic and the fact that Drew Goddard being attached was a great sign, after seeing the film we didn't come away bursting at the seems to discuss the film. But, after reading an interview with Goddard, it changed the entire movie for us.
#187 - Halloween and Halloween (2018)
October 31, 2018 04:06 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBOn this special Halloween episode of the podcast: It's that time of year again where we get to do a little something special and celebrate Halloween through the lens of cinema. This year we had an incredibly timely opportunity to talk about the new Halloween film and it's relation to the original Halloween film all in time for Halloween, itself. We reflect on what made the classic so groundbreaking and do some comparisons in the new one. Does it live up to its name or is it another cheap cas...
#186 - First Man and A Matter of Perspective
October 22, 2018 12:00 - 1 hour - 51.8 MBOn this episode of the Reel World Theology podcast: We continue our dive into the start of awards season films with director Damien Chazelle's La La Land follow-up, First Man. This intense look at the life of Neil Armstrong feels wholly unique and unlike any other version of humanity's first trip to the moon that we have seen to date. There is a lot of good stuff here and Chazelle, again, tried to explore that balance between achievement and sacrifice. We have a lot to cover in this one.
