AK47 Season 2 Episode 38: A Commentary on Nacho Libre. . . But Not Really

 Aaron and Kyle get together to do their very first film commentary.  We watch Nacho Libre and talk about it. . . Though we mostly end up talking about politics, American history, ministry, and related topics.  After the movie is over, we continue talking about church involvement in the lives of its single congregants.  We encourage you to watch the movie with us during the course of the episode, but you don't have to in order to understand or benefit from our conversation!

AK47 Season 2 Episode 31: Star Wars

The new Star Wars trilogy is over, so Aaron and Kyle give their thoughts on the movie, the prequel series, and more.  They discuss the Star Wars T.V. shows like The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars, and Rebels, and some of their favorite expanded universe stuff like Shadows of the Empire and Knights of the Old Republic.  A little politics injects itself into the conversation as well.

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 10

Aaron Gleason and Kyle Hendricks come back together for another B.S. episode.  We talk about our love for the new Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse movie, which recently won an Oscar.  We also talk about other films, T.V. shows, and anime.  We talk about why the new animated Spiderman was good, how it compares to the other Spiderman movies, superhero movies in general, how these movies and anime handle drama and humor, which movie had the better Kingpin, and more.  Despite talking about our favorite entertainment, we still couldn't help but get political in the second half.  We talk about critical theory, intersectionality, and racism.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 41

Aaron and I are going to focus on less politically, socially, and philosophically heavy things in the rest of the episodes this year.  It's break time, so we want to take it easy.  That doesn't mean those topics won't come out of our mouths though.

Aaron and I are all over the place in this episode.  We talk about the Aquaman movie, which Aaron recently watched, superhero movies in general, the Gospel, some apologetics, our thoughts on Ben Shapiro's interview with John MacArthur, stuff about the spiritual vs. the psychological, and more.

The AK47 Podcast Season 1: Episode 38

Aaron's description of the new episode.

Aaron interviews bestselling author Brian Godawa and they discuss the weird stuff in the Bible. Brian has written several series of "Theological Novels" (Aaron, in his characteristically pretentious style describes them as "Didactic Christian Myth") which explore the more bizarre (but scholarly accurate) aspects of the Old Testament. We discuss the book of Enoch, Giants, Angels, Demons, and other aspects of what Dr. Michael Heiser calls the Deuteronomy 32 worldview. Even the Epic of Gilgamesh comes up at one point. Godawa's first series is entitled The Chronicles of the Nephilim. His latest series, The Chronicles of the Apocalypse, is a kind of antidote to the Left Behind craze by focusing on distinctly preterist eschatology which teaches that John's Apocalypse mostly concerns events in the later 1st century AD. But eschatology (one of Aaron's favorite subjects, yet one Kyle remains willfully and lazily ignorant of) will concern our next episode with Godawa. Kyle is absent from this episode and the next one. Aaron put him in a box to repent of his eschatological ignorance. He won't be allowed back until he's completed all of Jurgen Moltmann's books, and he has to read them in the original Klingon.

Check out Brian Godawa's stuff on Amazon and godawa.com

We mention Michael Heiser quite a bit. Check him out at drmsh.com

And for those of you who are counting down we only have about 30 days left to get out 9 episodes!
