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.

It's wild to think that one of the most impactful movies to come out of the early 2000's was a movie about the crucifixion of Jesus directed by one of Hollywood's most controversial stars.
Yet, here we are.
There's a lot to unpack in a movie like this, and as you'll soon hear, everyone had their "where were you when Passion came out" kind of moment. Some boycotted it altogether. Others sat through multiple viewings.
So let's talk Passion! Thanks for being here!
