She's everything. He's just Ken. Let's talk about that.
In this episode, Sophie and Raymond don pink (metaphorically) to discuss feminism, fantasy, and family in The Barbie Movie. Why does Ken steal the show halfway through? Does Barbie's quest to become a human have surprising theological implications? Can Greta Gerwig's summer blockbuster really be suggestive of a long tradition of classic fairy tales from time immemorial? You may not think so, but for the Unreliable Narrators, anything Ken happen.

“What if dumplings had feelings?” Although it sounds like the usual Pixar recipe, the Unreliable Narrators think this one has a unique flavor. Today, Sophie and Raymond discuss about a recent Pixar short film in which a mother makes a dumpling that unexpectedly come to life. Among other themes, we discuss the character archetype of the "devouring mother," the relation between food, memory, and forgiveness, and...ancient Mesopotamian myths?? Find out how we pull all these ideas together in this first episode of season 3!

“This is my body, which is broken for you.”

What is the law of equivalent exchange? Can you really buy redemption with suffering? What is the price of a human soul…and why is it Edward Elric’s right arm? All this and more on our SEASON FINALE.

We’ll be taking a break between seasons, but don’t go away, because we’ll be releasing bonus content, special surprises, and maybe giving away a toaster. (Stay tuned on that last one…) Good luck to everyone competing at NITOC! Soli Deo gloria!

Stoa NITOC is coming up soon, and to serve our students who will be competing, we are releasing TWO episodes this week! Stay tuned for a big episode coming up this Thursday

We all know social media manipulates us. We know they're tracking out data. We know it's designed to get us addicted. And yet no matter how many times we are warned about what social media is doing to us, we still use it. Can we really have a healthy relationship with social media, or is it inherently detrimental to our mental health? In this episode, Sophie and Raymond discuss the 2020 Netflix Documentary The Social Dilemma, iHeart's street-art piece Nobody Likes Me, the role of social media in the musical Dear Evan Hansen, and the meaning of community and companionship.

In our next episode, we will be discussing the Bridge Over Troubled Water, by Simon and Garfunkel.

In this episode, we are joined by editor-in-chief and co-founder of the Rising Tide Foundation, Cynthia Chung. Cynthia has lectured on the topics of Schiller’s aesthetics, Shakespeare’s tragedies, Roman history, and the Florentine Renaissance among other subjects. She is a writer for Strategic Culture Foundation, and is a contributing author to the book series “The Clash of the Two Americas.” In this episode, we discuss C.S. Lewis's concerns about modern education, the threat of scientific dictatorship, the essence of culture, science and magic, and much more as we explore the epic conclusion of Lewis's space trilogy, That Hideous Strength.

Japanese-American artist Makoto Fujimura says, "We have a language for waywardness, but not a language for coming back home.” What does this mean? Anna Mason, art major at Hillsdale College, joins us to explore Fujimura's art series The Four Gospel Frontispieces, confirming for us once and for all that God approves of abstract art!

What is "slow art" and why is it so important in modern times? What does Fujumura mean by "generative reality"? We talk about the history of Christian art going all the way back to medieval illuminated manuscripts from Iona, but wait till the end of the episode where Trinity brings us back home at the last possible second!

In our next episode, we will be discussing Billy Joel's 1977 hit song "Vienna." Stay tuned.
