A wild Bonus Episode appears! Chris and David choose Rob! Rob uses "Great discussion about mental health." Bonus Episode counters with "Neon Genesis Evangelion." It's super effective! We had a blast talking with Rob. Now LISTEN to Rob. CORRECTION: David brings up a book in the conversation called A Call to Christian Formation. He really meant to say the idea came from It's Not Your Turn by Heather Thompson Day.

With Kyle being such a WHOge Dr. Who fan, it only made sense to talk about the series and have him try to sell David on trying out the franchise again. Conclusion: it worked.

Nothing like having recording a podcast episode where by the time it releases, you (David) prove yourself wrong several times: The Lord of the Ring books ARE better than the movies and yes, I did rush out to see Black Widow. Also, we were right: Loki is great.

We enjoyed having Eric from Monsters vs. Men on so much we decided to keep the conversation going! Topics discussed: Eric’s journey from film snob to toku fan; whether films and shows are as effective in encouraging change compared to literature; fandom obsessions, expectations, and how this can shape one’s identity; Eric’s journey through the MCU with his wife; and the concept of the “sympathetic antagonist.” Monsters vs. Men: Website | Twitter | Patreon Freddie deBoer: “Annoying Connoisseurs Make Things Better for the Rest of Us” David’s article: Godzilla vs. Chomsky Podcast cover artwork: Klenda V Intro: “Careless Whisper” by George Michael (please don’t sue us) Outro: “Careless Whisper” feat.
