About this listen

"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.

  • 20. Tokyo Godfathers by Satoshi Kon
    Dec 24 2025

    Merry Christmas, movie fans! Or should we say, merikurisamusau.

    This week we’re talking about Satoshi Kon’s Tokyo Godfathers, a film that finds grace, hope, and redemption in some of the most unexpected corners of life. We discuss the movie’s compassionate portrayal of homelessness, its surprising spiritual themes, and the beauty of chosen family.

    While coming from unlikely places, this movie tells a beautiful story with a rich message. We hope that this episode convinces you to give it a try if you haven't already!

  • 18. Babette's Feast by Gabriel Axel
    Nov 26 2025

    At first glance, Babette’s Feast, the 1987 Danish cinematic masterpiece, might seem like a simple story. You might even find yourself thinking, “It’s just a movie about people sharing a meal.”

    But we’re going on record to say that Babette’s Feast is one of the most awe-inspiring portraits of the Kingdom of God ever captured on film. It’s a rich tale of unrequited love, the pursuit of passion, quiet sacrifice, and, of course, the sacred act of breaking bread together amongst friends.

    Today, we explore this deeply spiritual and quietly stunning film, and we’re so glad to have you join us at the table.

    Thanks for listening!
