#4:The Simpsons movie was a true cultural event, captivating the nation and causing Christians to ask a number of searching questions: Should I take my kids? Should I go myself? Should I laugh at every joke?

Nonetheless, the concept of adult cartoons (and consequently the Simpsons) is old hat these days. The cartoon is seen as yet another neutral genre against which we can display a worldview that may or may not inspire faith.

But you may be surprised to find out that the truly important questions have yet to be asked by most Christians: what affects does this medium have on its' message?

We discuss this issue, as well as the Simpsons Movie in this podcast, and we finish off with a countdown of our Top Five Kid-Appropriate Cartoons.

The hiatus has been worth it. THIS is Christ And Pop-Culture!

I am sorry to report that Rich has not completed the editing for this weeks podcast yet. He's on top of it though, and hard at work! I suppose I can't really blame Rich, because I don't really know anything about editing these podcasts or I could help out. He's sort of on his own until he trains me.

In any case the podcast should be up online sometime in the next day or two. Our subject is "Adult-Oriented Cartoons," that is shows like The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Family Guy, etc. Hear our thoughts and our Top Five Cartoons we wouldn't object to our kids watching.

Don't worry, David and Rich don't claim to know anything about global warming, but they do discuss the cultural impact that Al Gore has had on the typical American. They also argue over why exactly Live Earth was pretty much a big failure.

It's 12 minutes long, and wonderful!

Any feedback is welcome! Just leave a comment at our website or email christandpopculture@gmail.com.

On July 7, 2007 many people chose to get married. Why? And what does this say about our view of marriage?

Rich: David and I are just starting to get back into the swing of things, but in the meantime, prepare for a few smaller, more easily consumable episodes of Christ and Pop-Culture. In the meantime, check out The Dane's response to last episode's top five list: His own list, more specifically qualified.

Look for a new podcast tomorrow.
