Pixar’s Soul flopped in 2020–it didn’t even make it into theaters! Is the jazz dramedy about the afterlife as bad as the numbers suggest?
Is it New Age or “woke”?
Today, author and editor Noah J. Matthews drops by to give you his opinion on the disaster.
According to him, Soul is one of the best movies he’s ever seen. It changed him.
Whether the change is for the better or worse, you’ll have to watch the episode to find out.
Noah J. Matthews is the author of fantasy western novella Outlaw Blood and is one of the developmental editors at The Pearl magazine. Originally from Michigan, Noah finds it hard to hide his northern blood in the humid Ohio summers.
Listen as Noah hashes out:
- How he first heard about Soul (hint: it involves bananas)
- 2020 (self-explanatory)
- What we’ve forgotten about Earth that Pixar reminds us of
- How Soul does religion better than most Christian movies
- The hope for Kingdom literature
- All his misconceptions about Soul before watching it
- How Soul changed him
So sit back, grab some popcorn and your thinking cap, and listen in on a story show for readers that’s showing you the curious side of Kingdom literature.
