Divine Cinema

In a surprising turn of events, The Case for Christ is not that bad a movie. The story is decent, the acting is good and the cinematography is solid. They even manage to pull off a pretty accurate period piece, as the movie takes place in the early 1980s. However, how does it do on the pieces of silver scale? Listen to find out what Jeff, Dylan and Adam have to say about the spiritual themes in this 2017 film, The Case for Christ.
