Episode Description
REBROADCAST MOVIE DISCUSSION:
From setting the stage with the world of CCM, to the song I Can Only Imagine's release and world domination, then finally right into the movie itself, Melvin and Daniel dive into many topics throughout this episode! (originally released August 31st, 2021)
Topics:
- A brief history of CCM in the early 2000's which set the stage for the song I Can Only Imagine.
- Explaining the impact of the song I Can Only Imagine.
- Melvin had three not-so-positive (but not deal-breaking) observations that made it hard for him to fully enjoy the movie I Can Only Imagine.
- I Can Only Imagine is a 'good Christian movie' because "it just does all the things a movie should."
- Melvin, "I would have liked if the bulk of the movie was the reconciliation between [Bart Millard] and his dad."
- For Daniel, the ending is too cheesy when compared to the real life events they seem to semi-replicate.
- I Can Only Imagine, as a movie, isn't trying to sell you anything, and that's likely why it worked well with critics.
