Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema
"The wages of cinema is death."
A movie podcast where theology meets banter.
In each episode, we discuss a film that we love (or love to hate). We explore it through a series of prompts, like "Who would you pray for in this movie?" or "Would this movie be better with Kirk Cameron?"
It's part movie review, part spiritual reflection. All good times.
