Mass Shootings; Top Gun, Stranger Things, Obi Wan & Nostalgia

June 7, 2022 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

It is a sad season of far too many mass shootings…

In this episode of Your Sunday Drive, we discuss details of the recent incidents, their complex causes, related political and cultural issues, possible solutions, and more.

How may our overall crisis of meaning be leading to a crisis of gun violence? What role does the church play?

Nostalgia rears its head yet again, as Top Gun: Maverick rules at the box office, while Stranger Things 4 and Obi Wan Kenobi take over streaming platforms. We talk about these stories, the positives and negatives of nostalgia, and why now might be such a fertile time for the familiar to find favor. (Sorry about all those Fs … sometimes things just happen and you gotta go with it 🙂 )

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.

Hosts: Matt Hill and Nate Polzin. Presented by the Church in Drive of Saginaw, MI, as often as possible. Please visit churchindrive.com and facebook.com/thechurchindrive

SF Radio 8.26: Taking Off with TOP GUN: MAVERICK

June 3, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

In TOP GUN: MAVERICK, Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell (Tom Cruise) lives a life of military obscurity. But when an upcoming special mission requires his unique knowledge, Maverick is called back to TOPGUN as a teacher and mentor to the next generation of pilots. As the past meets the present, Maverick must overcome his deepest fears and pain while training these youthful rookies what it means to make the ultimate sacrifice. This week, Richard Crouse (host of CTV’s #PopLife) and Dave Voigt (In The Seats) step into the danger zone to talk about the magic of Tom Cruise, legacy sequels, and the inevitability of age.

SF Radio 8.25: Mental Health and the Multiverse in EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

May 20, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

Truly anything goes in the multiverse. Whether it’s empowering chapstick, googly-eyed boulders and hot dog fingers, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE unleashes the potential of the concept in its fullest sense, bringing every conceivable universe to life with boundless imagination. However, at the same time, to gaze into infinity is also an overwhelming prospect. This week, Victor Stiff and Victoria McCartney join Steve to talk about dealing with mental health, the healing power of compassion and staring into the Everything Bagel.

SF Radio 8.24: Bending our Minds Around DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS

May 13, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

Directed by Sam Raimi, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS opens up the MCU in incredible (and horrifying) ways. When a new threat calls the good Doctor and his new companion, America Chavez, to jump from universe to universe, they enlist the help of Wanda Maximoff in an effort to get things under control. However, they very quickly discover that Maximoff may herself be the very threat they’re attempting to prevent from ripping apart the multiverse. This week, Dina Hamdieh and Miriam Ibrahim return to discuss the ramifications for Universe 616, the evolution of Scarlett Witch and why we care about the multiverse.

In THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, Nicolas Cage takes on his greatest enemy… Nicolas Cage.

The Meaning Crisis; This Is Us

April 22, 2022 by Matt Hill Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered “Why the Past 10 Years of American Life Have Been Uniquely Stupid”? We attempt to give an answer in this new episode of the Your Sunday Drive podcast by looking at a popular Atlantic article with that title from cultural commentator Jonathan Haidt. Points of discussion include social media, its influence and some possible ways to curtail its negative effects.

Sure… social media is a problem and has amplified our fragmentation, like languages at the Tower of Babel, but isn’t there a deeper issue? Yes – what’s currently being discussed as “The Meaning Crisis” by a growing number of voices, such as Jordan Peterson, Bret Weinstein, Jonathan Vervaeke, Paul Vander Klay, Johnathan Pageau, Tim DeRoche and others. We look at this current moment, try to unpack some of its causes and history, and ultimately contextualize it with the Christian faith.

Popular (and excellent) show This Is Us reaches its final few episodes and Nate has thoughts. What does our current pop culture have to say about things like love and marriage? How should a Christian respond when non-Christian ideas about such topics are presented and even celebrated in our pop culture?

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.

SF Radio 8.22 High-Speed Heroes in SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2

April 17, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

Now that SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 has sped into theatres, its box office success shows that this franchise actually has legs after all. With fun and furry, the sequel sees Sonic run far beyond the limits of Green Hills as he and new friend Tails work together to find the Chaos Emerald before his new adversary, Knuckles (Idris Elba). This week, Kirk Haviland (InTheSeats.ca; Blood in the Snow Film Festival) stops by to talk about the success (and failures) of video game films and what makes a hero.

8.21 CODA + Oscar ReCap!

April 1, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

With an eye on diversity, this year’s Oscars featured some fabulous performances and recognition of some amazing films, such as this year’s winner of Best Picture, CODA. Unfortunately, however, they will best be known for one confrontation than any particular award winner. This week, we welcome Deb Whalen and newcomer Sallyanne Hadzalic to discuss the Academy’s big night (including the fallout surrounding the Smith/Rock debacle) and CODA’s ability to build bridges between the Deaf Community and the Hearing.

SF Radio 8.20 Sacred Sexuality in PAM & TOMMY

March 27, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

In the ‘greatest love story ever sold, Hulu’s Pam & Tommy tells the story of the theft and release of the celebrity couple’s sex tape back in the late 1990s. Beginning with the energy of a raunchy comedy, the series gradually shifts its perspective into something much more poignant and (dare I say it?) powerful in its conversations about gender and sexuality. This week, Amanda Jane Smith and Miriam Ibrahim return to have an honest discussion surrounding the nature of ‘gaze’ and the relationship between consent, sexuality and pornography.

SF Radio 8.19 Going Dark in THE BATMAN

March 13, 2022 by Steve Norton Leave a Comment

The Dark Knight has returned… and this time, he’s really dark. Leaning into the shadows and secrets of Gotham City, Matt Reeve’s THE BATMAN is a very different vision of the Caped Crusader that explores his rage-fuelled attempts to bring criminals to justice. This week, Wade Bearden (WadeBearden.com) returns to dig into the darkness of the Batman as we talk about deconstructing our heroes and the line between justice and vengeance.
