Luke and Gomer discuss a variety of topics; some light, some heavy. The two recount their experiences at (different) SEEK conferences and offer their thoughts on the heaviness and difficulty that seems to be moving through the lives of many public-facing Catholics, most recently Paul J. Kim. If you're tired of hearing AI critiques and why AI is killing you (it is), you'll love the first 60 minutes or so. You may want to bow out before the end, if you're a big fan of AI or of Morlocks. Enjoy! Thanks to Saint Kolbe Studios for producing this podcast!

This is a heavy one. Heavy in a good way, but heavy all the same. Lots of unpacking trauma, both from childhood and Gomer's recent bathroom renovation. There's some talk of childhood wounds, betrayal, and other sad topics. If that's not something you've got the energy for around the holidays, no worries. Maybe come back to this one after the new year. Merry Christmas, and hope you enjoy! Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

Want to get the inside scoop on what it was (and is) like to live in the Carey household? This is the episode for you! Christina stops by to chat all things Carey, her job in social work, and throw shade at a certain sibling who did not show up for the recording. Which sibling? Only one way to find out. Enjoy!

Gomer lives! As does the deep dive into Aristotle's Poetics. This time, it's Beauty and the Beast. Enjoy! Thank you to Saint Kolbe Studios for producing this episode of Catching Foxes!

Luke and Gomer spend an hour and a half explaining the nuances of The Little Mermaid, covering what separates a well-written villain from a bad one. It's educational and, at times, entertaining. Enjoy! Thank you to Saint Kolbe Studios for producing this episode of Catching Foxes!

This episode offers everything you've ever wanted to know about The Lion King and then some. It's basically a free Shakespeare class. Plus, why music makes you feel certain ways and the Mary Sue character in the new Star Wars movies. Enjoy!

Anthony D'Ambrosio of Triumph of the Heart stops by the show to talk about the process of bringing Saint Maximilian Kolbe's story to life. Get the inside scoop on what it takes to make a Catholic movie that doesn't actually suck. Enjoy!

Has our world gotten flatter? Are all the edges of culture rounded out and mass produced to the lowest common denominator? Luke and Gomer discuss how movies have lost their soul and houses have gotten gray and boring (and badly made). Take a shot anytime two men in their 40s discuss interior design on this episode (maybe don't listen to this one in the car). Enjoy!

AI has plenty of potential upsides. Helping you think more deeply about life isn't one of them. Maybe, if done wrong, it helps us fulfill our worst desires. Will AI reduce us to simply our desires? Can it free up time in our lives to contemplate the truth? Also, there's a lengthy discussion about sex with robots towards the end. It's topical, we promise, but maybe don't listen to this one with your kids. Maybe don't listen to any Catching Foxes episodes with your kids. Enjoy!

Can we know what reality is? Not in some college-freshman-philosophy-major-existentialism way, but in how we see the world. Are reproductions of things real versions of the original? The fellas continue to talk about the ethics of AI and whether we've lost the ability to truly view realty. Tune in next week for part two of this discussion!

The usage of AI has moral implications, but what are they? Can we use it without losing our souls? Should we all just be listening to Bob Dylan and avoiding AI-generated music? It's a heady one this week. Enjoy!

This is a heavy episode with reflections on mortality, earthly burdens, and the time we spend with our family. Also included, Luke's hope that Pope Leo makes AI usage a mortal sin. Enjoy!

Sean Hussey and Ben Zuber of Cold Brews and Catholic Truths stop by to talk about apologetics, JD Vance, Pope Leo, and their approach to evangelization. Towards the end, Gomer talks for more than five minutes straight about a passionate evangelization topic. Who would have thought? Find out what it was on this week's episode! Enjoy!

Was Thunderbolts a flop? Does it actually do a good job talking about mental health? Luke and Gomer debate this heatedly. Also on the menu today: important songs, most hated movie tropes, and the death of Alasdair MacIntyre. Enjoy!

The fellas talk tariffs - quite unexpectedly. Also in this episode: Diddy, Trump, George Soros, and other demonetizable topics. Strap in! Enjoy!
