Customer Reviews
What are Christian's who watch mainstream movies to do?
A Born Again Christian who loves movies talking about what Christian themes and lessons we can learn from secular movies. Not a finger waging criticism about how movies aren't Christian enough, but instead talks about what lessons we can draw from not so Christian movies like Super Bad, Milk, and Iron Man.
Great show
In hopes that Tyler might stop asking for good reviews, here it goes: This show is AWESOME! EVERYBODY SUBSCRIBE! There. I hope you're happy Tyler, you baby. :)
Well done, Mr. Smith!
I'm not a Christian but I am a film fan and a devoted Battleship Pretension listener, so I thought I'd give this podcast a try. So far, so good! Non-Christian listeners get the added bonus of having occasionally their views challenged (in a non-threatening, thought-provoking way). A warning to sleepy listeners: Tyler Smith's voice is particularly soothing in this podcast.
