Episode Title: Body Parts Everywhere!

Welcome to another wild ride on The Breakdown! This episode is packed with hot takes, explosive debates, and a sprinkle of controversy as the crew dives headfirst into the chaos that is modern culture. Buckle up for two hours of eye-opening discussions, peppered with the humor and sharp wit you’ve come to expect from your favorite podcast hosts, The Evangelical Infidel Aaron Barker, the Bearded Pastor Bryan Jackson, and Miss Information Erica Sauer.

Hour 1 kicks off with the question on everyone’s mind: Has Star Wars gone woke? That’s right, there’s talk of a transgender Stormtrooper marching through the galaxy, and the crew takes no prisoners as they tear into what’s happening with the franchise and explore the deeper question: Why go woke? From there, they journey to the world of presentism—the idea that we judge historical figures by today’s standards—and how it’s not just hitting Star Wars, but classic sitcoms like Friends! You won’t want to miss the first break, where they tackle the burning question of whether we’ve hit peak inclusion, and what modernity and presentism are doing to our entertainment.

Hour 2 cranks things up with some hilarious hating on the Bearded Pastor himself! Then, it’s time to get real as they discuss “body parts everywhere”—no, not the stuff of horror films, but how the fragments of our fractured culture are starting to pile up. The team dives into some bad theology, like weather modification, the questionable teachings of so-called “prophetess” Kat Kerr, and the rise of bizarre beliefs that might just make your head spin.

After the third break, it’s “Death by 1000 Emails” as the crew gets into the trenches of digital life. Plus, you’ll hear about Gloria Copeland’s claim that “you are supposed to control the weather”, along with a deep dive into how wokism has allegedly infiltrated FEMA. To top it all off, the discussion veers into the world of anthropomorphic climate change—and let’s just say, it’s going to get spicy!

In the Breakdown OverDrive, things get political when they tackle Billy Graham’s appearance in an anti-Trump ad. The hosts offer their sharp and insightful analysis of how faith, politics, and media collide in this shocking campaign development.

Whether you’re here for the laughs, the outrage, or the deep dives into theology and culture, this episode has it all. Get ready to break it all down with us!
