We assume that by now you\u2019ve either seen District 9 or decided not to. District 9 crept up on all of us, suddenly becoming the must-see film of the summer, primarily as an antidote to the glut of really bad films that had discouraged so many film-goers over the summer. So what was so popular about this film? I\u2019ve already addressed this to an extent, but in this podcast we explore the movie even more, touching on the satire, the action, the flaws and the violence.<\/p>\n

Every week, Richard Clark and Ben Bartlett sit back and discuss the posts of the previous week on Christ and Pop Culture, acknowledge and respond to the big issues in popular culture, and give a sneak peak at the week ahead. We love feedback! If you\u2019d like to respond you can comment on the website, send an email to christandpopculture@gmail.com, or <\/em>go to our contact page<\/em><\/a>.
