SF Radio 8.08 Toxic Nostalgia in LAST NIGHT IN SOHO

Edgar Wright has always been willing to push the boundaries of his storytelling. With LAST NIGHT IN SOHO though, the famed director has created something truly amazing by fusing the psychedelic style of the 60s with murder mystery horror. This week, Victor Stiff (VictorStiff.com, Dope Black Movies) and Catherine Erskine join Steve to talk about SOHO’s complex messages and the toxic nature of nostalgia.

Faith & College

by Leave a Comment

How are things going on college campuses these days? What issues do college aged people face? What do they value? Is Christianity still a viable option for Zoomers? As our country becomes more post-Christian and pluralistic, what does the gospel even look like in a campus setting?

In this episode of the Your Sunday Drive podcast, we have a roundtable discussion about these topics and more with Hannah Balbaugh and Gabe Nelson – leaders in the Standing in the Gap campus ministries at Saginaw Valley State University and Northwood University (and representative actual young people! 🙂 )

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 8.07: Representing the World in ETERNALS

by Leave a Comment

With the release of Eternals, the MCU fully leans into its cosmic realm at long last. Spanning a story about ‘divine’ monsters over thousands of years, director Chloe Zhao unravels a narrative that asks profound questions about the universe and our place within it. So, why hasn’t it caught on with audiences? With the lowest RT score in Marvel history, Eternals has become one of the more divisive entries into the current cinematic canon, proving that (maybe) the franchise isn’t bulletproof after all. This week, the Marvel-out team of Dina Hamdieh, Miriam Ibrahim and Seun Olowo-Ake assemble to discuss the film’s strengths (and weaknesses), the relationship between leadership and power and the significance of representation.

8.06 Digging Around in DUNE

by Leave a Comment

Thought to be ‘unfilmable’ by many, Denis Villeneuve may have done the impossible in bringing Frank Herbert’s DUNE to life on the big screen. With stunning cinematography and solid storytelling, Villeneuve has managed to take the massive scope and size of Herbert’s classic sci-fi work and make it accessible to wider audiences. This week, Dave Voigt (InTheSeats.ca) and newcomer Steve Mah (Negating Silence) come together to discuss why they think DUNE is resonating with audiences and what it means to give up control.

by Leave a Comment

Within the world of faith-based television, few names are as famous (and infamous) as that of Jim and Tammy Fay Bakker. After developing the largest faith-based network in the world, Jim Bakker’s improprieties and scandals brought their legacy crumbling down in shame. Now, in the new biopic THE EYES OF TAMMY FAYE, Jessica Chastain takes on the role of Tammy Faye in an effort to retell the story from her perspective while also showcasing the toxic systems that bubbled under the surface. This week, we bring together author Colin McCartney (Connect Ministries), friend to the show Ben Dower and ScreenFish’r Shelley McVea to discuss Tammy Faye’s eyes, faith vs the Church and experiencing love in a shame-based world.
