Summary

SHOW NOTES

In this episode we talk movies and TV shows that edge on the "too" side of the Catholic moral equation: too much violence and too much sex. We discuss why some bad movies are actually good and some good movies are bad. Case in point, those terrible family-friendly Christian movies. Sure, they are good in moral content, but they are bad in artistic value, which may mean it's just plain bad and should be avoided.

How do you navigate the world of contemporary media, with shows like Mad Men, The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad are so well done, but have huge immoral elements in it? Hear Gomer rationalize his illegal downloading past and listen to Luke sing the Blockbuster Video jingle from yesteryear.

Special thanks to BENSOUNDS.com for the music.
