Matt and Beth put the "Christ" back in "Christmas" as they discuss the brand new feature film Journey to Bethlehem (2023), a musical(!) rendition of the nativity story. They discuss the bops and jams, Antonio Bandares'... acting choices, and finally, if this film belongs in The Christerion Collection!

I keep hearing about this show called The Chosen. It’s basically the gospel told in episodic series with a high budget HBO drama style. Never seen it, don’t want to see it, but I only hear good things (from my heavily catholic family). It’s on its fourth season. Maybe for a variety episode?

You guys had me listening to the soundtrack and all I could hear is Imagine Dragons lol. Love getting lessons on Christianity and Christianity in media. So insightful. Hope you guys cover the powerhouse that is Prince of Egypt!

As a recovering Catholic (now athiest) who still loves to have conversations about religion, this is everything I have ever wanted in a podcast!! Keep it up!

I know it's not a movie so it may not fly but I would love an episode of this where Matt and Beth watch a little bit of Veggie Tales, because I think it's the best and most successful overt Christian media. It was genuinely good even as a secular kid, rather than a lot of stuff that is just About Christianity

They did have a feature length film in "the pirates that don't do anything" that bankrupted their studio, though I think one of the original episode or "Lord of the beans" would be much more fun

Would it be possible to just react to like Skillet albums lmao, I feel like getting special guest Freddy could work somehow

Any conversation about Jesus having siblings just makes me think of Dogma, which I love, but I think that movie has the exact opposite energy of what you're trying to bring here 😂

I don't believe this is part of monthly and indeterminant content and I'm fine with that. Didn't expect to like these episodes as much as I did, but me and my wife like them.

Please please please do “left behind” with nick cage. It’s such an insane film that my mom forced to to go to the theaters to see and I need both of your thoughts

Robbie Taylor

Time for another request! Could y’all please do the LDS movie “Best 2 Years” it’s about a nerdy devoted Mormon guy going on his mission, being teamed up with someone who’s disillusioned and they both change for the better. (It’s better/worse than it sounds)

Thank God for the miracle that is this Patreon content

Oo I'm not quite through this episode but legit one of the only biblical movies I still watch is the dreamworks Prince of Egypt. Prince of Egypt SLAPS. And the whole soundtrack is just *chef kiss** I'd love to hear yall's take on that one

I'm also a recovering Catholic. I've spent easily dozens of hours (so, nothing compared to a legit scholar, but still kind of a lot) studying the origins of Christianity. It's fascinating tracing back the origins of all the different myths. There was a ubiquitous Greek translation of the Hebrew bible, known as the Septuagint, that we know the gospel of Matthew was relying on as their Judaism sourcebook. Matthew quotes a mistranslation in the Septuagint of a prophecy from Isaiah. The sloppy translation to Greek refers to a child being born to a virgin, when the correct translation would be just a young woman who produced a child in the conventional way. AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE CREATED THE STORY OF THE VIRGIN BIRTH. One of the most popular myths of one of the most popular religions on the planet WAS BASED ON A BAD LOCALIZATION
