Using both classic movies as well as new releases, Skopak and Popp discuss how the cultural collisions of the twenty-first century are reflected in the movies and how Scripture speaks faith, comfort, and direction for the follower of Jesus.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christ-culture-and-cinema-3426140"},"episode":{"title":"I Hate New Year's - And We Didn't Like This Movie","slug":"i-hate-new-year-s-and-we-didn-t-like-this-movie","published_at":"2025-12-26T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christ-culture-and-cinema-3426140/i-hate-new-year-s-and-we-didn-t-like-this-movie","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christ-culture-and-cinema-3426140","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jeffrey-skopak/episodes/I-Hate-New-Years---And-We-Didnt-Like-This-Movie-e3chqmv","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/4091248c/podcast/play/112830623/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2025-11-18%2F414637045-44100-2-336bfd9881333.m4a","summary":"As we conclude our Tenth Season we have tried to find, yet again, a New Year's Eve movie...and what we continue to find are movies that are not very good! However, this movie caused Michael and Jeffrey to take a good hard look at culture and the intersecting point of faith for Christians. How does a Christian "live and interact" with "Samaria?" How do we demonstrate Christian Love and Care while also not affirming the sin that surrounds us? Join us for the conclusion of season 10 and don't worry if you haven't seen the movie...we don't recommend you watch it!","meta_description":"As we conclude our Tenth Season we have tried to find, yet again, a New Year's Eve movie...and what we continue to find are movies that are not very good!…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2463,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/christ-culture-and-cinema-3426140/episodes/i-hate-new-year-s-and-we-didn-t-like-this-movie/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/christ-culture-and-cinema-3426140/i-hate-new-year-s-and-we-didn-t-like-this-movie.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
