Episode Thirty One - Cover

We're back with another episode, and this time we have a really unusual choice.  Directed by Bill Duke (Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit), this is a film that you won't find on the shelves of your local Christian bookstore.  It isn't marketed at Christians, which was sort of our guideline, but it is certainly a Christian movie.  Enjoy the review.  

SHOW NOTES:

The official site for Cover.  

The movie's myspace.

Episode Thirty - The Appointment

We're back with a slight change of schedule.  As you can see, a new podcast is being posted on Monday instead of Friday/Saturday.  Enjoy!

This week we review The Appointment, directed by Rich Christiano of Time Changer fame here at the SuperCandid Podcast.  

The Appointment is a 1991 movie about a cynical reporter who gets a message from God telling her the moment of her death.  If you've seen this movie, tell me if you think that the 2002 Angelina Jolie movie Life, or Something Like it kind of ripped it off.   Although the "you will die next thursday" type stories are pretty old.

----NOTES----

The other, Nancy Drew-esque artwork for this film.

You can listen to the intro and outro to this episode on our muxtape.  

Catch us in a couple weeks for our next episode, and keep up with the blog!  Congrats to our contest winner!

A note on our next episode

Just a note for everyone who likes the podcast(who doesn't?).  Don's out of state this week, so we're going to have to delay it for a bit.  Our plan is to review Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (after paying full price to see it in a theatre no less!) in time for posting it the weekend of May 3, and by then I should nearly done with school so we might be able to get back on a regular schedule.  

Or not.

Episode Twenty-Two - Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie

We are back with another great episode, this time talking about Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie. The sequel, VeggieTales: The Pirates who Don't do Anything just came out in theatres, so now you can see what we thought of the first installment.

SHOW NOTES:
The true, mostly complete story of what happened to Big Idea, which went bankrupt and out of business less than one year after Jonah's release.

Literally, one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my entire life. The VeggieTales theme song, as re-imagined by Rebecca St. James.

SuperCandid Podcast #21 - Amazing Grace

We all know how slavery ended in the good ol' US and A. Lots and lots of killing was required to convince people that all men are created equal, and even now we might not be completly over the whole thing.

What about jolly old England? They helped, along with the Spanish, start African Slavery in the Americas, but they ended slavery quite a while before we got around to it. Who was their Abraham Lincoln?

Would you believe, William Wilberforce? Who? You never heard of him either? Well, this is your lucky day sir, because the movie Amazing Grace, directed by British auter Michael Apted(Rome, The World is Not Enough, Up Series, Nell, Gorillas in the Mist, The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader[forthcoming]) has a history lesson for you. Starring Ioan Grufford(Fantastic Four, King Arthur, Horatio Hornblower) as Wilberforce, the movie has a fantastic cast of British character actors, including the great Albert Finney as John Newton, the former slave ship capatin who wrote the title poem/song.

How is this a Christian film? Wilberforce's main allies were Christian anti-slavery crusaders, and Wilberforce himself was moved by his own journey of faith to continue the difficult political struggle.

Tune into the SuperCandid Podcast to see what we thought of the film, which was a big hit at the US Box Office and is just recently out on DVD.
