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.
Lord, Forgive Us Our Cinema

Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
What a strange film this is. Not a lot of the “intellectual-challenged” films from this era (not named Rain Man) have survived the cannon fire of modern day critics. Looking especially hard at you, Radio.
It’s hard to imagine that one of those films broke all kinds of records, won all kinds of awards, and had all kinds of weirdly endearing America and apple pie-flavored charm.
But hey, that’s Forrest Gump for ya.
But enough of all that genuine analysis, we’re here to ask the real questions.
For example:
Was this film an allegory for the biblical Book of Hosea?
Was Lieutenant Dan fit to serve in the LORD’s army?
Was Jenny a bad person? Or was she the worst person?
Tune in for all that and more!
