Popcorn Theology ·

2025/05/04

May the 4th be with you! In honor of Star Wars day, we dug into the vault and re-released our discussion with astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This surprisingly fresh entry to the Star Wars universe led to some deep discussion on a range of topics: Is there ever a time when ‘lying’ is justified in the eyes of God? Is it possible to deceptively work from within an evil group in order to dismantle it? Why is it so hard to create replicas of the human face that are

2025/04/04

In episode 7 the pace of the show picks up. Daredevil is back, and he is on the hunt for the serial killer Muse.

Rest assured they found opportunity for mindful conversation in the areas of deception/masks and a surprisingly redeemable pattern for relationships in Fisk and Vanessa. Watch the episode here.
