SF Radio 9.04: Ending Evil in HALLOWEEN ENDS

by Leave a Comment

BOO! It’s the Halloween season and that brings us HALLOWEEN ENDS, the climactic (?) film of a franchise that has spanned for over 40 years. In the grand finale, 4 years after the disappearance of Michael Myers, Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) has decided to share her story as a way to deal with her grief. But, as she says, “evil never dies, it only changes shape”… This week, horror mavens Allen Chabot and Catherine Erskine (with a shoutout to newbie Delsean Haywood) have a killer conversation about wrapping up trilogies, the infection of evil and how to stop the bleeding.

SF Radio 9.03: Romancing the BROS

by Leave a Comment

Directed by Nicolas Stoller, BROS tells the story of Bobby (Billy Eichner), a podcaster who is content to live his life on an endless string of online hookups instead of investing in a long-term relationship. But that may change when he meets Aaron (Luke McFarlane), a handsome lawyer to whom he’s instantly attracted. The more that they see each other, the more they can’t deny their feelings and the two may even commit to one another. This week, Adam Howard and Allen Chabot join Steve to talk about authentic representation of the LGBTQ community, deciphering Bros’ target audience and whether or not ‘love is love’.

The Lord of the Rings vs. Game of Thrones

by Leave a Comment

Amazon’s The Rings of Power and HBO’s House of the Dragon are two of the hottest shows out right now. In this episode of the Your Sunday Drive podcast, we dig deep into the authors, fantasy universes and worldviews behind The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.

How are these works similar and different? How do the new series fit into the larger universes? How are Tolkien’s and Martin’s sensibilities reflected in our current culture? Our politics? The church? And how do these fantasy worlds ultimately relate to the faith?

Come along for Your Sunday Drive – quick conversation about current events, politics, pop culture and more, from the perspective of a couple of guys trying to follow Jesus.

by Leave a Comment

Back to school time is always busy and full of new beginnings. In this new episode of the Your Sunday Drive podcast, we get together (for the first episode since June!) to catch up and have a catch-all conversation about all things related to this time of year.

In the end, we reflect on how easy it is to be anxious at times like these… and how good it is to be able to cast our anxieties on God.

Note: When we say catch all, we mean catch all 🙂 Topics include: What’s new at the Church in Drive, cancel culture, book bans, education in general, sharing back-to-school photos on Facebook, how we create community even when it’s more challenging, how college kids are still kids, how there’s a sweet-spot agewise for politicians, the Forward party, avoiding the ditches of extremes, Randal Rauser and Progressive Christians Love Jesus Too, grammar quibbles and the constructedness of language, the new football season and the Big 10 going “coast to coast” (like Space Ghost), 1177 B.C., The Old Man, Better Call Saul, Nope, Everything Everywhere All at Once, chilling and doing bird stuff, etc. etc.
