AK47 Season 2 Episode 29: Video Games, Movies, and Culture

Aaron and Kyle do another B.S. episode talking about entertainment.  We talk about video games like The Witcher 3, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2, and movies like Captain Marvel, You're Next, and more.  Of course, we couldn't help but get into the deeper cultural, political, and biblical issues of the day like leftism and conservatism, sexuality, the importance of community, the Bible vs. the Koran, the nature of work in our modern industrialized era, and more.

The AK47 Podcast Season 2: Episode 1

Aaron's description of the episode

We're starting off season two with a BANG! Mark Hemingway (formerly of the murdered Weekly Standard) graced us with his presence. Not physically of course, but Spiritually. We discuss being married to women who make more money than us, free markets, social values, and get some amazing musical recommendations. The Hemingways are notorious music snobs, which means when they recommend stuff its good. 

The Music recommendations were: 
S. Carey
Big Red Machine
Robbie Robertson, specifically his self titled album from 1987
The Blue Nile

And the Portlandia article can be found here

Also Mark sent me the quotation he couldn't remember, and its pretty epic: 
"One is reminded of an observation of the philosopher RĂ©mi Brague. “Faith produces its effects only so long as it remains faith and not calculation,” Brague wrote in the 1990s. “We owe European civilization to people who believed in Christ, not to people who believed in Christianity.”" - Reflections on the Revolution in Europe by Christopher Caldwell
