    WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen

    WandaVision: Grief on the Small Screen

    Don’t worry. Nothing is wrong here. We’re not stuck inside a hex, kept prisoner by a chaos witch who literally makes us feel her pain as she feels it. We aren’t forced to play roles that are pastiches of famous sitcoms of decades past. Don’t worry. We’re just talking about WandaVision, and how great and funny it is! It doesn’t have anything to do with grief or trauma or a global pandemic. Just enjoy your time in Westview!

    Free Guy: Liberty to the NPCs

    This episode is all about 2021’s surprisingly good video game movie, Free Guy (well, I mean, it had Ryan Reynolds and Taika Waititi in it, so how surprising could it be, really?). If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to check it out on Disney+ before listening in, because we do get into spoilers; but otherwise, please join us for the discussion–and keep the discussion going in our Reel World Discord Server (link below). And in the meantime, don’t have a good day; have a great day!

Love These Guys

I’ve been hooked on RWT since the first episode I listened to (on Stranger Things). I feel like I’ve fallen into my own kind with these Christian film-lovers who can’t help geeking out over good stories. My work routine allows me to listen to music/podcasts, so I’m pumped to go to work because that means I get the chance to listen to another episode of RWT!

I highly recommend subscribing to Reel World Theology if you:
1. Like storytelling
2. Like movies and TV shows
3, Love Jesus and can’t help asking deeper questions about entertainment.

God bless this podcast :)
