To Infinity and Beyond! A podcast about friendship, culture, and the Kingdom of God all through the lens of Pixar. Each episode, Porter talks about a different Pixar movie with a different friend. They discuss cultural and theological implications of the film, with laughter and insights galore!
Porter talks with Christianity Today's Mia Staub about Pixar's latest release, Elio. What can Elio teach us about male vulnerability? What's with all the hate for the bean-mouth animation style? And how does the climax of Elio present a poignant metaphor for community overcoming grief?
Be sure to read Mia's article about Elio here (https://www.christianitytoday.com/2025/07/pixar-elio-weep-with-those-who-weep/?utm_medium=widgetsocial) in addition to listening to the episode!
