The Carpenter
#555

This week, we team up for an atheist review of The Carpenter, the story of Jesus as told through an MMA fight club in Nazareth, complete with anachronisms that would seem like a bit much to Fred Flintstone.

The Keys of the Kingdom
#554
04/28/2026

This week, Vin from the Black Nerd Culture podcast joins us to break down a movie that is almost unbelievably bad. It's called "The Keys of the Kingdom," and if you read that and assume that I mistyped "The Keys to the Kingdom," you're just getting your first taste of this filmmaker's attention to detail.

This week, science's very own Forrest Valkai joins us for an atheist review of Beauty and the Atheist; the story of what Donald James Parker would've said during that evolution debate if he'd thought of it ... and been a sexy young woman that Forrest couldn't resist.

Yes, that's really what the movie is about.

The Carpenter's Son
#544
02/17/2026

This week, we welcome Nic Cage back into our lives with an atheist review of The Carpenter's Son. It's a movie so nakedly blasphemous and divorced from its source material that we very nearly got upset on Christianity's behalf.

Hell and Mr. Fudge
#543

Face/Off
#539
01/13/2026

This week, our secular-tacular continues with a movie that is neither God nor Awful. The 1997 John Woo masterpiece explores the terrors of having to be Nicolas Cage and/or John Travolta. And almost every inanimate object eventually explodes.

This week, Marcus and Deanna from Wrath of Pod join us for an atheist review of Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible: Adam and Eve. It's the first in a series of cartoons meant to sanitize the Bible's timeless stories by changing them in random and LSD inspired ways.

Mindreader
#526
09/29/2025

This week, the gang is live in New Orleans, breaking down the latest offering from the Christiano brothers. Or... the one Christiano brother. Not sure if they're bickering or if this script was too weak to pique Dave's interest, but we're only getting half the team this time. And we learn that it's apparently possible to be half as good as a normal Christiano Brothers movie.
