19. Oh God, Who Gave Hercules a PhD?: God's Not Dead (2014)

  • Summary

  • Teddi and Nick are back for season 3! This time, they’re stepping a bit out of the turn of the millennium for a bit of academic shit talking. In 2014, the movie God’s Not Dead gripped the evangelical world by the shoulder and shoved it into the “realities” of academia’s persecution of the faith. At least, that’s what Kevin Sorbo wanted us to think. But really, all he made them do was wonder: Does one need to be a former demigod to get a tenure-track gig? It sure does feel that way!

    Join Teddi and Nick as they discuss, with at times, excruciating attention to detail (we know, we’re sorry!), all that this production got wrong about philosophy, logic, and the academic life. We just think academia wants us to defend it from a movie that one Google reviewer described as “a film so bad it made me an atheist.”

    Thanks so much for your patience as we navigate the complicated overlapping of careers, dissertations, and family. We are so excited to finally be able to offer you all new content after some time away. 

    Thanks for remembering with us on our new season of Oh God, I Forgot About That.


    Due to some technical difficulties, the episode description will be updated with a full list of sources soon.
