Pop Stars, Demons, and Spiritual Discernment — with Adam Holtz of Plugged In

Brian Fromm sits down with Adam Holtz from Plugged In — Focus on the Family's entertainment review ministry — to talk about Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic covering his rise from Gary, Indiana to global superstardom. Is it a fair portrait, or does it sidestep the harder questions? Adam breaks down what the film gets right, why legal realities shaped what it couldn't show, and what it means for the value of the biopic genre altogether. Then, Adam pulls back the curtain on Plugged In's popular Theology Of series — deep-dive explorations of the spiritual worldviews embedded in major entertainment franchises like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and the latest entry: Doom. Yes, that Doom. It turns out a demon-shooting shooter from 1993 has more theological substance than you'd expect. Plus — what's coming this summer? Adam previews Spider-Man: Brand New Day and why it may be the movie to watch. Find Adam and the full Theology Of series at pluggedin.com.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
