A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Ep 44: Truth and Manipulation in Wicked Part 1 54:59

منذ 13 weeks54:59

54:59

In this episode we dive into Wicked: Part 1 and the deeper themes behind its story. Beyond the spectacle and music, we explore what it truly means to be "wicked" and how narratives shape our self-perception. The conversation unpacks the dangers of always seeing ourselves as the hero, the power of institutions to control truth, and the ways fear and favoritism distort relationships. We also wrestle with the temptation to seek validation over conviction and the complexities of standing against the norm. Finally, we compare the film’s themes with biblical truths, questioning how we judge righteousness and wickedness in ourselves and others.

We also touch on the importance of self-reflection in fighting for what’s right, highlighting how silence can be just as harmful as active wrongdoing. Finally, we draw parallels between family dynamics and business culture, emphasizing that trust and long-term vision outweigh short-term gains.

Following Ender’s rise as a brilliant strategist, we unpack the moral weight of his decisions, the manipulation of truth, and the devastating consequences of war.

In this episode, we explore the 1975 sci-fi film Rollerball through our SMART framework, focusing on its portrayal of a dystopian future where corporations control everything, including the brutal sport at the center of the story.

In Neverland, Peter confronts his past, battles Hook, and ultimately chooses family over career, finding joy in fatherhood.

Before it was even released, Barbie was considered a contentious movie, especially among Christian circles. Now with it's digital release, the Parable Arrows team wanted to put this film to the test: Was Barbie really an anti-men film and feminist propaganda? Or was it a movie posing thought provoking questions about identity that are Biblically accurate? In this episode, Josh is joined by his fellow Philosophy and Christian Thought teacher Amy Heck-Collins, as well as Katie and Lydia, two students who were a part of his media analysis class from Fall 2022 to Spring 2023.

When Inside Out first released, the idea of little brightly colored charaters running around our brain space made so much sense. Feeling angry? Must be the little angry man inside my head--not me. Or, if you grew up in church, sometimes certain emotions were pinned to be all good or all bad. Sadness? No room for that. But, Inside Out offers an accurate message: how are each of our emotions important? And from a Biblical view, what was God's divine purpose for human emotions, and how can we better aim to live out that purpose?

Everything Everywhere All at Once is not a family friendly film. It has crass humor, dark themes, and a load of wacky violence that would make Grandma blush. And it is easily one of the best films that has been released in a number of years. This film is geared towards a mature audience and wrestles with ideas like the multiverse (no, not like Marvel's multiverse), nihilism, the power of real love and taking care of each other. In this episode, Femi and Josh discuss why it is important to understand you are the only you, why nihilism might seem enticing but ends up short, and the importance of Christians doing a better job of loving their LGBTQ neighbors.

Jesus tells the parable of two men: one with a speck in his eye and one with a plank. The parable was aimed at a specific audience of Jesus' day (Hint: They weren't big fans of him) and was intended to encourage a change in perspective and behavior towards ourselves. Join Josh and Femi as they discuss the Parable of the Plank and the Speck.

Ep 12: The Power of Fear and V for Vendetta 1:20:37

منذ 3 years1:20:37

1:20:37

Remember, remember, the 5th of November! The 2005 film starring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman shows the dangers of fear to a society. Whether in the mind of the average citizen or a deranged dictator, fear drives us to selfishness and forgetfulness of the humanity in others. In this episode, Femi and Josh discuss the importance of Jesus as a real person rather than just an idea, how to balance sympathy and accountability for people's genuine fears, and how Christians should approach conspiracy theories.

Book of Eli is a film full of interesting themes about faith and power. Femi and Josh discuss how Book of Eli uses the Bible as a key player in one man's journey to selflessly preserve the sacred text and another's obsessive grasping for absolute power.
