Godly Geeks

Author: godlygeeks

A family-friendly podcast for Christian Geeks. Exploring the intersection of fandom and faith. Judgment free. Are you a pastor that likes Power Rangers? Maybe a deacon that likes D&D? A Sunday school teacher that has subscribed to the Prime Directive? A nursery worker who knows there is more animation out there than just Veggietales? A church goer into comics? If any of this describes you, then you have found the right podcast. If this does not describe you, come and see what we are talking about. A Warning: may include nostalgia, but will never include foul language. We remove the fear of being turned off when a parent enters the room.

Disney Trilogy Part 2: The Dark Elements of Disney
Episode 50
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025

Parental Note: This episode explores darker themes and imagery in Disney history. Still family-friendly, but parents may want to preview first. IT'S OUR 50TH FIRST EPISODE!!! From graveyard gags to genuine nightmare fuel, Disney has always danced with the dark. In Part 2 of our Disney Trilogy, we trace the macabre thread from early shorts of the early "silly symphonies" of the 1920s all the way through modern Disney. Why did Disney lean into fear, loss, and moral consequence—and why does it work? We unpack the cultural roots, storytelling purpose, and how these shadows make the light mean more along with some Biblical connection to all of it, and a brief discussion of Halloween.
