The popular 90s and 2000s era show uses an “angel of the week” format as each story is about different angels inflicting themselves upon the lives of hapless humans. This week we focus on SIGN OF THE DOVE, a dueling

The Book of Eli (2010)

Boys" Bible Study ·

2025/04/20

This stylized post-apocalyptic thriller is a unique example of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster with overtly Christian themes, even if it stops just short of a true Christian message. Directed by the Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and starring beloved leading man Denzel Washington, THE BOOK OF ELI depicts the Bible as a source of tremendous power in a fallen world. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a survivor of a nuclear holocaust, wandering westward on a mysterious

Salomé (1923)

Boys" Bible Study ·

2025/04/06

We dip into cinematic classics of the silent age (before people learned how to talk) with 1923 classic SALOMÉ, co-directed by married couple Charles Bryant and Alla Nazimova. The latter stars as the titular SALOMÉ, a Bible character who has achieved historical infamy despite not being officially referred to by her first name. The story is provocative: a teenage princess dances seductively for her stepfather King Herod who promises her anything in reward; she picks the head of prophet John the

Face the Beat (2024) feat. Pretty R1cky

Boys" Bible Study ·

2025/03/23

This Christian feature film about an aspiring DJ feels like a remake of the 2015 Zac Efron-fronted EDM movie WE ARE YOUR FRIENDS, but unfortunately is lacking a lot of substance both in its spiritual and musical themes. FACE THE BEAT is the story of Zack aka “ZDJ Grey”, a teenager who wants to escape the rat race by kickstarting his career as a DJ and music producer. The film uses a lot of EDM stock music to represent Zack’s creative output, which confusingly runs the gamut from chill house to lo-fi

Mindreader (2022) feat. Brad Roelandt

2025/03/09

Veteran Christian film director Rich Christiano is back with a riveting parable about a magician named Dexter whose life story is obviously meant to represent the life of Jesus. Dexter is a stage performer specializing in mentalism, drawing huge crowds with his special trick where he guesses audience members’ secret words and then gives them extremely specific life advice. Dexter’s advice is so good that audiences have started to believe he is a miracle worker. This draws the ire of the

This dark, gripping teen drama about a girl suffering from an eating disorder begins with a surreal carnival dream sequence where protagonist Nicole sees herself distorted in a funhouse mirror, seemingly instigating a pattern of binge-eating candy and purging. Stuck traveling in between the houses of her divorced parents, Nicole’s disorder becomes life-threatening after an electrolyte imbalance causes her to faint while horseback riding on her father’s remote ranch.

Prayer, Love, Unity, Respect: in this topical episode of popular 90s/y2k era TV drama TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL, angel-in-training Gloria goes to a rave and actually does ecstasy with the human teen boy she’s supposed to be protecting. Raves were a huge point of anxiety in pop culture in the y2k era. Although their colorful futurism and utopian optimism inspired a generation of media and fashion, people also had safety concerns about the newfound popularity of club drugs like ecstasy, leading to a

We are so thrilled to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of Boys’ Bible Study with you that nothing could hold us back — not even all the plagues and natural disasters God could throw at us as if to say, “It is not a very good idea for you spend this much time on your blasphemous podcast.” We attempted to record this episode two weeks ago, and right as we went to take a break, the power went off at Ash’s apartment, which led to a saga where Julian and Ash and many of our fellow Los Angeles friends had

With Christmas season suddenly in our rearview mirrors, it’s time to move foward and acknowledge that we are one year closer to Jesus’s return. Something about the year number switching on Jan. 1 feels very apocalyptic, so we return to rapture themes in Christian media with the obscure and extremely entertaining THE GATHERING. Director Danny Carrales is an artist we respect for his work on a few key features in the faith-based film scene, especially his most recent CGI-heavy work HEAVEN’S WAR

Respect for CEOs is at an all time high this holiday season, so there’s no better time to enjoy this Hallmark movie about corporate hierarchy. Christmas (that’s her name!) is the high powered girl-boss CEO of CJ Toys, a company she co-founded with her former best friend John, who left the company because he felt that maximizing profits impacted the wholesome mission of making toys. Anyone who has ever watched a Hallmark movie knows that what a successful woman needs is a free-spirited man to chill

Christmas season 2024 is here! As usual, we at Boys’ Bible Study will be spending all of December pondering the reason for the season with Christmas movies made by Christian directors. We’re huge fans of director Chip Rossetti, but so far we’ve only ever watched his films written by and starring the singular Donald James Parker, aka “Gramps” (such as GRAMPS GOES TO COLLEGE, which we love.) So, to kick off the new Christmas season, we took a chance on a script written by Rossetti himself… and we were
