Crackers and Grape Juice began in the spring of 2016 with a conversation between Jason Micheli and Teer Hardy. In the years since, two shows have been added to the lineup, Strangely Warmed and (Her)Men*You*Tics, but the goal has remained the same: talking about faith without using stained-glass language.

Church Without Walls, Berkeley is a diverse community following Jesus, loving God, neighbor, the Bible and the world. We aim to worship God and explore Christian spirituality in a meaningful, approachable way. Our spirituality is centered on Jesus because we’ve discovered that his life and teachings deeply connect faith with everyday life. As our name implies, we believe that “church” is not a building. It is a community of people gathered to love God, one another and their city in a way tha ...

It’s been said that before the truth will set you free, it often ticks you off. We are two Baptist pastors on a mission to contrast Baptist cliches, and Christian cliches, with the truth of God's Word. AKA sacred-cow tipping for the glory of Christ, the furtherance of His gospel, and the equipping of His saints.

Our Ape Club reconvenes to celebrate the holidays with a viewing of 1971’s “Escape from the Planet of the Apes!” Is this an ape movie or an episode of “Mannix”?

Kilmas comes but once a year! This year we’re climbing into the cockpit and revisiting 1986’s “Top Gun,” starring some airplanes, Val Kilmer, and Tom Cruise. It’s a very subtle movie. Were Tony’s parents right in protecting his young mind from it? And most importantly, why do we remember Val Kilmer’s character being the villain when he’s actually t…

Which Anejo Tequila is best? It has been quite a while since we first tried Silver Tequilas, and in that time we've both had fazes where we drink a fair amount of tequila. Despite this, neither of us have tried much Anejo tequila. Today we are going to try 3 of the most popular brands to see which is best, while also determining if the extra money …

1:20:54Pixar Club re-forms to discuss “Elio,” the studio’s lowest-grossing feature film of all time. Funny thing, though… it’s a pretty good movie? It’s funny, has some space adventure and gross-but-lovable aliens, and even has a nice message about making connections. Look, we didn’t go see it in the theater either, but we sure had a fun time watching it …

We’re back on the Marvel movies with “Thunderbolts*”, a film that (to our surprise?) is not a nihilistic story about villains pretending to be heroes (see: Suicide Squad), but instead a story about some troubled not-quite-heroes learning that they can be better if they connect to other people and work on their own issues. But also with explosions a…
