| 5/12/26 | ![]() Daredevil Born Again Season 2 | Christian Review (Ep 423) | The Revolution will be televised! Season One was called "Born Again" but definitely had labor pains; join us as we take the pulse of Season Two and discuss the highs and lows of Season Two, where it recaptures the magic of the original series and where it blindly stumbles. Mercy and Grace are prominent themes, but does the show understand these terms biblically? Miles and James deliberate; but you are the jury. Watch the episode here.

You've been summoned to consider the case of what many consider a film and theology classic - is it the best depiction of the Devil ever put to film?

| 1/13/26 | ![]() Scrubs | Classic Episode 237 | In anticipation of the reboot, enjoy this re-release of our Classic Scrubs episode! Listen up newbie, our episode on Scrubs may be the best that ever came through this dump. Miles was the first and only podcaster James and David ever met who loved this show as much as they do. And you can forget about this show being just an exceptional "sitcom". Fact of the matter is, it's an exceptional treatise on life under the sun, period. That's why people gravitated toward it, and that's why we review it. Theology-Five! We discuss several themes that run throughout the show, but these are the episodes that featured most prominently in the episode: 101 – My First Day 115 – My Bed Banter & Beyond 208 – My Fruit Cups 314 – My Screw Up 504 – My Jiggly Ball 614 – My No Good Reason 818 – My Finale Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.

| 12/30/25 | Episode 407: Avatar: Fire and Ash | In our third visit to Pandora hosts James and Miles explore Avatar: Fire and Ash. This time the Sully family wrestles with the loss of their oldest son while running from the reincarnate Colonel Quaritch who has teamed up with a rival Navi clan known as the fire people. It's refreshing to see a blockbuster movie that encourages people to have faith rather than depend on their own materialistic understanding to get through life. Our heroes must face their own internal struggles while even our antagonists are called to repent and turn to their god.

| 12/23/25 | ![]() Episode 406: Zootopia 2 | Detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are back in this sequel to the modern day fable Zootopia. This time they'll have to go outside the law in order to uncover a crime that reaches down to the foundations of Zootopia itself.
