In a world where movie tickets are pricey and you could spend hours browsing streaming platforms, Zoe is here to help by giving you the nuts and bolts of a movie or TV show without the spoilers! But movies and shows are more than just mindless consumables, they’re stories that tell us something about our world and the people around us. Zoe invites you into a deeper conversation about media and how to navigate modern storytelling.
Zoe is joined by Ansen from Real FM's Afternoon Show. He is a father to three kiddos, but his two daughters are especially obsessed with K-Pop Demon Hunters. That is why he is here to discuss how Christian parents can navigate popular media with their kids, how to know when something is appropriate, how to engage with kids in asking questions, and how to see certain movies as opportunities. It can be tempting as Christian parents to say "no" to what's secular and popular, and if it has the word "demon" or "magic" in the title, for example. However, both Zoe and Ansen argue there can be redemptive qualities to these movies, themes which align with God's truth, and ways of the kids to engage with this media and their friends in a healthy way.

Zoe takes a closer look at the surprise hit K-Pop Demon Hunters — a movie she initially dismissed but ended up loving. What looked like a flashy kids’ film turned out to be a heartfelt, action-packed story with humor, catchy songs, and deeper themes than expected. She unpacks the meaning behind the title, gives context for parents concerned about the word “demon,” and shares why this film is more than just a “girl movie.”

Spare yourself the expense! Jurassic World: Rebirth is NOT worth your time, energy, or money at the theater! It is also NOT for children. Zoe thought it was bizarre there were so many children (even a baby???) at her theatrical viewing of the film and she wants to remind listeners that it is rated PG-13, and it is not necessarily a family-film, there is a lot of intense action, mild horror, etc. Zoe doesn't recommend it for kids and she doesn't recommend it for anyone because this movie thinks you're stupid.

If you're looking for something good to stream, Amazon Prime recently released "The Accountant 2" on its platform. Zoe was hesitant and skeptical about a sequel to a beloved action film starring Ben Affleck, but her husband insisted they watch it. To their surprise, the film exceeded expectations! The film, while serious in its portrayals violence and crime, is also balanced with relatable characters. It is surprisingly heartfelt and Zoe highly recommends it, with the caveat that this is indeed Rated R for violence, language, mature themes.
