Episode Forty - Thomas Kinkade's The Christmas Cottage

After a week of missteps with Podango, Episode Forty is finally up! This week we slept through 'Thomas Kinkade's The Christmas Cottage'. Yes, it's a movie based on a painting. A semi-autobiographical look at a young 'Painter of Light' trying to save the homestead from evil creditors and getting paid selling his art to his whole town, spreading his gift like a misguided Johnny Appleseed. Despite the content, this is audibly one of our better shows, and short too! Try to enjoy!

8Bit Jesus has arrived from on high!

If there are two things on earth that Jon and I love, they are Jesus and video games. If there are three, then there are Jesus, video games and Video Game Jesus Music. Right now you can download the entire '8bit Jesus' Christmas album, composed entirely of chip sounds and whatnot (think NES musics) for free! RIGHT HERE! It's 18 tracks long (because really, no one needs more than 18 tracks of 8-bit Christmas music), and well worth a couple bucks just for that awesome album cover. Chip in a couple bucks for his trouble... It's Christmas after all. Also, big ups to my favorite blog in the world (besides this one...*cough*) Kokatu for telling my eyeholes about this project. (Caution: Kotaku is occasionally NSFW on it's main page. Rarely, but you know...) *** Also, again... once Podango figures it's junks out, there will be a new, unbroken episode up for download! Don't get all excited, the show is nearly as boring as the film we reviewed. Episode Forty is finished, but just won't upload for the past couple days. You get what you pay for as they say...

Episode Thirty Nine (39) - Christmas Child - Lets try this again

RE-POSTED! SHOULD BE FIXED. Thanks to our loyal listener Ted for emailing us about a technical issue. This episode was just a bear, all on our end. Thanks for the patience!

Show was late because of massive damage by Garageband, on both sides of the recording.

This week we review Christmas Child , a movie based on a Max Lucado short story.

SHOW NOTES--

Opening music is "What Child is This" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
Closing music is "Greensleeves" by The King's Singers, the song which provides the tune for "What Child is This."

Some Amazon.com Christmas specials:
Christmas Child for $8.99
The Christmas Shoes for $8.99
Bella for $10.99

Finalists for San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival $100k prize

The finalists for the big prize at the San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival's have been announced, and some of them will be familiar to SuperCandid readers.

Feature film finalists are:
Fireproof
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Pendragon, Sword of His Father
Pilgrim's Progress: Journey to Heaven
The Secrets of Jonathan Sperry
The Sound of a Dirt Road
Throw a Few Things on the Ground
The Widow's Might

My money's on Fireproof, the Titanic of Christian movies. If Expelled wins, the SAICFF should be forced to shut down.

The semi-finalists have also been announced in other categories, including documentary(for which, thankfully, Expelled is not nominated), short films(including Dialtone ), and Young Filmmakers.

Hopefully Fireproof wins so that the Kendricks get an extra $101,000 for their next movie. We want more action scenes!
