Read excerpt
Is Harry Potter a parable about law, grace, and resistance? In this episode, Marcus and David explore Harry's journey through the darkness and the Sirius consequences.

It's certainly not the most radical revision of this ancient story, as this Coen Brothers' classic does (not to mention Wishbone). However, this is a great example of how (intentional or not) our narratives often have similarities with different window dressing. Revisit this beloved version set in 1930s Mississippi with OG hosts Richard and David. Originally released Dec 5, 2017. #theodyssey #coenbrothe
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire | Christian Movie Review (Ep 436) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire demonic? Enjoy David and Marcus' popcorn discussion and hot takes takes warmer than dragon's breath. We dive deep into the biblical imagery, such as Harry's Christ parallels. We also navigate the maze of the inverted Christian symbolism around Voldemort's return. Remember C.S. Lewis (I mean, uh, Cedric)! Episodes for each Harry Potter film will be released throughout 2026. But for Premium Seating Patreon supporters, you can hear the full series right away!
