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.

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.

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. On this podcast James and Miles unpack how Zootopia reminds us of the Cristian hope of world peace brought by the messiah. They also discuss the motives of our hearts. Do we work for something to prove or strive for something worth dying for? Finally we discuss the ever present sin that threatens Zootopia, killed Jesus, and lurks in the human heart.

This episode could change you for good. Miles, James, and Kat are back to finish what they started in episode 369, returning to Oz to cover Wicked: For Good. This sequel finishes the original story and looks to be one of this year's most successful films, but is it "good"? Take a look with us below the surface, otherwise this beautifully shot, catchy movie may trap you with its cynical message about propaganda, truth, and the deep desires of the human heart.

Enjoy the re-release of this classic Popcorn Theology episode: Zootopia is on the menu this week, and we talk about the good and bad messages behind the film, thus exploring why it can be controversial. The movie deals with subject matter that is much deeper than your typical children's movie – racism and prejudice, for instance. There are also a number of points that could be less than helpful, depending on how one views the story. Maybe you have a strong opinion about the movie. Maybe not. Either way, we hope the episode is interesting to you.
