For this very special Easter episode, Giles & Julia are joined by not one but TWO co-hosts of such lethal cunning: Louisa Jane Smith from The RE Podcast and the First Lady of God in Film, Claire Gough. We talk about Mary Magdalene, autistic Matthew and just how great the show is generally. Our special returning guest is evangelist and film critic, Andy Godfrey, who tells us about interviewing the cast and how the story progresses in season 2.  We had a lot of fun recording this one, and we hope you enjoy listening to it! Happy Easter everyone! Finding the Faith in the Film begins at 28:13

Today, we're looking at ‘Under the Banner of Heaven’. The 2022 Disney+ series based on the book of the same name by Jon Krakauer. We’ll be looking at complementarianism, wiping the dust from your feet, safeguarding against dodgy prophecies and how we decide who’s really a Christian or not.   Finding the Faith in the Film begins at 28.49

For this episode, we’ll be looking at ‘The Fabelmans’. Steven Spielberg’s fictionalised version of his early life.

For International Women's Day, we're looking at 'The Eyes of Tammy Faye' the 2021 biopic about Tammy Faye Bakker, played by Jessica Chastain. We're joined by evangelist and film critic, Andy Godfrey and we’ll be asking, where did televangelism come from? What is the prosperity gospel? And what can we learn from the way Tammy Faye’s treated people with AIDS.  Finding the Faith in The Film begins at 23:00

In this, our first episode of season 6, we're looking at ‘Dune’ the 2021 sci-fi epic directed by Dennis Villenueve adapted from the first half of Frank Herbert’s seminal 1965 novel of the same name. We speak to film journalist and massive Dune fan, Ryan Gaur to tell us about the series and we're joined by Queen of the Nerds, Julia Hall who is taking over co-hosting duties for awhile. We’ll be looking at Islam’s influence on the 'Dune' as well as what a military messiah looks like and how to go about manufacturing one. Finding the Faith in the film begins at 27:18.

For this special bonus episode: I gave an interview to the RE Podcast a few months back. RE Queen Louisa Jane Smith was doing a series on 'Losing My Religion' and for a counter-balance, she did a series on 'Finding My Religion', so she asked me to come and talk about how I became a Christian. It’s a bit different from our normal kind of episode, but I thought you might appreciate this as it might give you a little bit of an insight into my background and how I approach things. I hope you enjoy it.

For this Christmas special, we're be looking at Little Women, Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of the classic American novel by Louisa May Alcott in 1868. We'll be learning about transcendentalism, how Gerwig's version differs from earlier film adaptations and finding out what is the most influential Bible fan fiction ever? We're joined by author and film critic Sarah Cooke who will be telling us why this version is so special.  Finding the Faith in the Film begins at 31:38.
