The Voyage Podcast

Let me guess. You think we're going to talk about Sin because we're doing an episode on the Sinister Six... Well, I guess it aint that far off, but it still aint right! Right? Right! I guess all that's left is to let you see what we have to say...

DUN dun. DUN dun. DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun... Sorry for the delay folks, but we finally have out Independence Day themed episode up! Mike waited his entire life to watch one of the greatest summer flicks of all time, hopefully you haven't made the same mistake, Chief! #Jaws #VoyageComics #Catholic #Trimuvirate

Hallo! Having used an online platform, you clearly have the ability to navigate a wide world of audio content, and yet you find yourself reviewing this specimen of digital dalliance.

Fine Mike, we'll do an episode on "The Boys"... Geez. See everyone it is about perseverance. There’s the slow cultural movement in media toward the gritty anti-hero, and then there’s The Boys. This show is a surprisingly good jumping off point for a lot of good questions we can ask about """American Culture""" and provokes thoughts on the general deconstruction trends one sees in modern Christianity. See, it’s not just an excuse for sex and violence! Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements.

"A planet where apes evolved from men?! There has to be an answer!" Oh but there is Charlton Heston, there is! More than one! Mike and Jacob are going to dig into the many stories told in the Planet of the Apes franchise and explore the varying themes, philosophies and religious parallels found there, and let us tell you, it's a madhouse.

Here at the Voyage Comics Podcast, we're nothing if not crude opportunists! So, in the spirit of chasing the fashionable and trendy, we present you with our own take on the X-Men '97 cartoon currently enjoying so much popularity!

Climb into your power suit and make sure your radioactive bear has been fed. Your favorite hosts have emerged from their vault to discuss the new and mega-popular, video-game-based, apocalyptic, comedy-drama, Fallout! Not surprisingly, when societal conventions are stripped away, we end up proving what Christianity has been saying all along about Fallen human nature. No matter how many thawed middle managers, mad scientists and anarcho-communist leaders try, it seems like humanity never changes, but maybe Someone can transfigure it! #VoyageComics #Fallout #Catholic #FallenNature #Apocalypse #Vault-Tec #WalterGoggins Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements.

Time to talk about the giant radioactive lizard in the room. No more monkeying around. Jacob has been a radioactive nerd his entire life, and he's bringing it to the airwaves. Let's talk the oG and the bK. It's the Godzilla and Kong episode! Other podcast might spend more time paying attention to the recent release of Godzilla x Kong: The New Dumb Title, but we at the Voyage Comics Podcast are going to keep it classy. Let's talk about the iterations and the films that overlap the most with the Christian ethos and the world we live in. If you're down, so are we!

Alright, we admit it, that's just a click-bait title. What Jacob means, however, is that Frank Herbert's attempt to write a story warning people against hero worship doesn't apply to the Christian Gospel and everyone should read Dune! Yup, it's one of Jacob’s favorite books, and since the pretty good movie "Dune 2" is out, the guys are going to discuss Herbert's take on messiahs and what makes Dune such an interesting book.

One hundred years ago, Mike had an idea for a podcast episode about vocations. Now, Jacob is here to help discover what Avatar: the Last Airbenders and the Four Temperaments were meant to be. Mike and Jacob both discuss the new live action series and how it shows the Christian reality of vocation well. Hide your cabbages folks!

And we are back in our new fortnight format with part two of the “double feature” of the Studio Ghibli films “Spirited Away” and “The Boy and the Heron.”  Jacob is super excited to get back to this film diptych, (and yes, his new baby girl is healthy and beautiful!).  Jacob probably likes this film even more than “Spirited Away” which is high praise!  Check out this continuation of their conversation regarding this two epic Hayao Miyazaki flicks, and go out of your way to try to watch this magnum opus from a modern master! #VoyageComics #Catholic #StudioGhibli #Miyazaki #BoyandHeron #Afterlife

Hey, you ever heard of the "Disney" of Japan, Studio Ghibli? Well, if you're a normie American it's probably the only thing anime studio you've ever heard about - (unless you work at Spencer's or Hot Topic, in which case, yes, Jacob is still going to call you a normie)! But he thinks there is a reason that Studio Ghibli has captured so much popularity - it's frequent reliance upon classical paganism! Listen in to see what that means! This is part one of two. This time we go over the Academy Award winning "Spirited Away." Next time we'll go over the brand-new film from Studio Ghibli, "The Boy and the Heron." There is a lot the two films have in common, and Mike and Jacob are going to hash it out! Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements.

Hey there, guys and gals, this week's episode is going to be close to home for those of us living in great Northern expanses of the Midwest. You betcha, we'll be talking about Fargo! The TV show season 5 just ended, and as Jacob has been a watcher from the beginning, it seemed like a timely moment to discuss the Original movie, as well as the evolution of the show over the last decade.

Get your trench coat and eyeliner out and prepare to wallow in angst! It's the Poe episode! PSYCHE! What if there is more to Poe than death and the macabre? What if Poe had a more nuance philosophy behind his work than history has given him credit for? Well, Netflix produced a new Mike Flanagan horror series back in October '23 and it has given your dreary duo a chance to intersect some Poe talk with pop-culture and we're going to capitalize on it! Come hear our opinion on the new Netflix show, and learn how Poe actually has some more to say for classical Christians than you might expect! #Poe # VoyageComics #CatholicTheology #Usher #Beauty #Transcendence

Mike is gonna write this...because we're gonna be talking about his, and everyone's favorite topic: biblical and mythological interpretation theory!! Tuck in while we serve up this four-course meal, one for each of the "senses," or understandings of Scripture according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the four types of myth. Don't worry, it won't be on the quiz later. Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements. All music score/elements used with permission via standard Royalty Free License (RFL).

This week Mike and Jacob cover an old classic, "The Warriors," a very R-rated but super whimsical look at New York City street gangs of the 1970s! It's kind of a strange movie, but one that is pretty easy to map all kinds of "journey-style" story themes onto from a Christian context, so bust out your preferred costume cliche and let's go for a stroll!

Now that 2023 has ended, the Voyage Comics Podcast duo has a special episode all about... endings. But what kind of endings? Does this just mean the final moments of a story? Or can it be more about the purpose behind something? Perhaps you'll see the point by listening to this weeks episode! Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements.

It's beginning to look a lot like the Voyage Comics Podcast Christmas Special! In this episode, Jacob and Mike talk about their favorite Christmas myth, A Christmas Carol, and examine why it is both a myth and a Christian one at that. They will also discuss their favorite adaptations of the story in popular culture. Voyage Podcast does not own copyrights to the music score/elements.

The Future is NOW! Or maybe it's still waiting in line at the TVA... This week we discuss Loki Season 2 in all of its glorious purporting! The first half of this discussion is just Jacob trying to figure out what the heck even happened this season, but he mostly liked it... It's riveting! Stick around for meatier threads on free will, grace, and the almost shockingly on the nose Christological symbolism on display by the end of Loki Season 2!
