Is there any Christian media (or Christian adjacent media) that resonated with you when you first encountered it that now you find gross or have complicated feelings about? Like, I really loved the sci-fi novel, The Sparrow, when I first read it. However, after learning about the author and her intent with the book (pro Columbus propaganda) I kinda feel as if what I liked about the book was just me projecting better ideas onto it.

Will Eleanor Janega ever guest on this show or has her anti-Voltaire stance made her persona non grata?

Additionally, can any of you hit the WHYYYYYY in Gethsemane from JC Superstar

Go-to karaoke songs?

Brian (and AJ,so far): favorite MASH episode, or generally series highlights?

Any chance we have more coverage of albums coming up? Loved the DC Talk episode, would be fun to hear you talk about the random conservatism in lots of "secular" pop and rap

It seems like Josh can read an entire book in between episodes. How fast can he read and how did he learn to do that? Also, what happened to Avril Lavigne?

What video game companion character would you want following you around in real life?

Do you have a process for deciding what an episode's interstitial is going to be? And how far in advance are or were the Whit's Endless Summer interstitials mapped out?

Is there a Broadway play you'd like to do an episode on but due to some sort of circumstance it is unlikely to ever be done?

Are there any topics that you at one point had wanted to cover, but decided against for whatever reason as the pod developed?

Taking bits too far is one of the core components of the pod, but what bit do you guys think you didn't take far enough? What bit would you like to spin off into its own media franchise?

You have unlimited money to put on an existing play or musical on Bway: what show are you doing, and whats the pitch?

For Josh (and the others if you have an answer ready): favourite NY subway line and rolling stock type? For all of you: what age were you when you first took a train in regular service (so excluding things like the train at Disneyland or airport people movers), and have you ever done so regularly outside the NY subway?

How does Brian decide which episodes to cover for Whit's Endless Summer?

At what moment in your lives did you realise you were in fact living in the worst of all possible worlds? A recent-ish episode I really enjoyed was Silent Hill 2 despite not having played the game. Ayesha was a fantastic guest and the whole episode felt very personal. Also, with your theatrical backgrounds I would love to see you cover the 2022 fmv driven video game Immortality.

I know there was a Fancy Movie Time episode on Mulholland Drive, but I'd wonder if the three of you have any thoughts about David Lynch and his filmography, in light of his recent passing.

have any of you seen the off broadway show teeth and if so, what were your thoughts on it. It dealt with a lot about evangelicals..

For all the boys first off love the show it allows me to look across the pond and get a little bit enlightened on what the fuck is going on over there. Secondly seeing as American pro wrestling is a fairly significant artifiact of culture that has kept the problem that we are dealing with today in the public consciousness when they otherwise wouldn't have, firstly do you enjoy it? Also do you have a favourite wrestler of the past or present from any promotion?

As an ex evangelical I love the episodes where you do the big hit Christian novels. Did any of you ever encounter the mark of the lion series? Me and my friends were obsessed with it when I was a teenager but looking back it had many problematic themes: https://www.amazon.com.au/Mark-Lion-F-Rivers/dp/0842339523

This is probably a very boring question, but do you each have a dream episode and guest combo (achievable or not)? I think one of mine would be an episode on Walt Disney and/or specifically Disneyland, with Jenny Nicholson as a guest. That's some "decline of a modern empire" shit right there!

Nostalgia critic was incredibly fun for me to listen too I find the angry internet reviewer craze incredibly fascinating

For AJ: As someone who grew up in an Evangelical home-schooling family, it has been fascinating to hear someone from outside that background do a sustained deep dive into things that were household names for me growing up (AIO, Frank Peretti, CS Lewis, Kirk Cameron). I am curious, what has been the broad trend from across your evangelical media exploration you have found the most surprising?

Hard to pick a "favourite" as you've had some really good ones. Going with It's a Wonderful Life cause it was a perfectly joyful episode at a time in the year when I needed it.

What's the gangs favourite musicals?

If you could add one movie to the Criterion Collection what would it be and why?

Will there be more twoapw merch? If not, how do you recommend I put cool voltaire on my body in a semi- to largely-permanent way

What is each hosts "game of the year"? ( Including games not released in the year 2024 but played for the first time )

1. How has your life situation changed since the last Q and A? How does it compare to where you thought you'd be when graduating college? 2. Has Josh played Fallen Aces yet? Immersive Sim about murdering goons. 3. Not a question but Noah Caldwell-Gervais would be an amazing guest for a game episode!

What is the editorial process for deciding what gets cut from an episode?

In the Gerbert episode, Brian made an off-hand comment about a Deathscythe gunpla. Are any of you gunpla (or any sort of modeling) enjoyers, and if so, do you have any favorite builds/kits?

I finally smashed enough adventures in Odyssey cassette tapes to find the golden tape. Where are the rest of Phil Loler's horcruxes?

Only 1 question: what IS this?

What's a self-indulgent episode you'd love to do but the others probably wouldn't agree to (perhaps thinking it wouldn't make a good episode or they wouldn't have anything to say)?

For all three of you: if you could live through the events of any episode of Adventures in Odyssey, imagination station style, which episode would you pick? And, obvious follow up, which Odyssey character would you fuck? Human adults only, AJ is not allowed to pick Tom Riley’s horse Rachel (or Leah, but nobody is gonna pick Leah lol).

Best advice for getting over a bad break up

How do you approach structuring an escape room to tie the plot and puzzles together? How do you write for a budget?

You step into an elevator with none other than the good Doc Dob himself. This is your chance to pitch your very own Christian Entertainment Program (CEP) and make it big in the industry. My question is, what is your elevator pitch?

Favourite animated films?

I was 15 years old when we entered the new millennium, and I spent it with our youth group at a local theme park. We rode roller coasters and played mini golf and had a pretty groovy time. I also remember that we forced our youth pastor to tune in to a local radio station that had decided to play the Venga Boys We Like to Party for 24 hours straight heading into the new year. The van ride was probably 45 minutes long and I remember everyone being really hyped to listen to this song over and over again. That said, what are your thoughts on We Like to Party by the Venga Boys?

This is a question for the community: I'm interested in 'Adventures in Odyssey' but the backlog is daunting. Where should I start?

This is for all 3 of you: if you were given full reign to revive a Broadway musical, what show would you revive and what are some of the choices you would make?
