    art, broken toys, film, rian johnson, star wars, the last jedi

    Greg Iwinski, a comedian, film reviewer (he gave Balboa 5 Stars), and podcaster, comes on the show to attack all those who think Rian Johnson's "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" should have serviced the fans' expectations more than made a great movie (minus the casino scene) and set up a world-class franchise for decades to come. Film, art, and culture are all explored. Even a rant about maintenance-mode Catholicism comes in to play!

Gomer shares the disgust he has with himself for overbooking his October/November schedule, every weekend for 7 weekends in a row. Luke then talks about one of his heroes, Louis CK, and what it means for him in the wake of the accusations against him. What about the victims? What about the problem of empathy?

    Witty banter for 12 minutes, then Luke essentially interviews Gomer for his thoughts on Pope Francis and this new wave of confusion that's happening. We love so much about Pope Francis, buuuuuuuuuut. And it's that "but" that troubles us.

  • Episode 113: Your Questions Answered! Poorly!

    October 27th, 2017  |  1 hr 5 mins
    fr james martin, purity rings, stranger things 2, weinstein

    We took 20+ questions from our listeners on Facebook and tried to answer as many as possible. No, this isn't 10 minute topics, because we abandoned the timer long ago. It's just your questions, like: stuff about Fr. James Martin, horse-sized ducks, stranger things 2, the fall of white male Hollywood, Matt Fradd, Purity Culture/slut-shaming/why we only hear about the virtue of chastity, human formation, Star Wars 8, and why Matt Field and his Fiance Clare are such badasses!

    Get a glass of booze ready, because in today’s show we interview Pastor Joey Svendsen from the BAD CHRISTIAN podcast, which describes itself as Post-Christian, or Post-Evangelical, or maybe just Post-Bible-Belt-Evangelicalism. Luke totally fanboys. Gomer nervously talks too much. And Joey keeps his cool.

    beer, guns, politics, retreat, thirtysomethings

    Luke and Gomer talk about how to improve the show. It's called "KISStober" and Gomer hates it. Luke, on the other hand, missed a perfect The Office quote. Then we talk about our experience of Encounter Houston (you should go to Encounter Milwaukee with Gomer) and Luke's FOMO problem. We discuss the events surrounding Las Vegas and gun control laws in the US. And end with our very favorite fan, Sugar Garcia, heading to the Holy Land and she wants to carry your prayer intentions with her! So come on, Syrophoenicians, let's do this!
