Wokal DistanceGUEST
You could...
Wokal DistanceGUEST
Coming into the 2010s, you could kind of ironically like VeggieTales, which is why Phil Vischer has so much credibility, 'cause he was one of the few vectors of cool that they had access to.
Wokal DistanceGUEST
But even, like, Christian rock bands were, like, mocked into oblivion.
Wokal DistanceGUEST
There's a whole South Park about this, um, [chuckles] where they, they make, like, these vulgar-sounding songs that are full of innuendo.
Jon HarrisHOST
Okay.
Jon HarrisHOST
So you got someone from Phil Vischer's outlet.
Jon HarrisHOST
Who is this guy? A priest in the diocese of the Midwest Orthodox.
Jon HarrisHOST
We have an Eastern Orthodox person.

Jay BurdenHOST
And there's this interesting conglomeration of kind of embarrassed American evangelical thought leaders.
Jay BurdenHOST
You have David French, Phil Vischer.
Jay BurdenHOST
There's a woman whose name I can't remember.
Jay BurdenHOST
But point is, all sort of advancing the same position, right? Which I don't mean to psychologize this, but I think your point that this is basically a sort of syncretic cope so that people can keep their jobs in polite society, I think is largely accurate.
Allen JacksonHOST
Yeah.
Megan BashamGUEST
So, um, you know, I, I, I could give you a lot of examples, but they would do things like pore through my footnotes and find, you know, one, um, example, like with Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales, who had made a lot of comments that were very, um, unclear about his position, say, on abortion in early pregnancy.
Megan BashamGUEST
And when I quoted those, uh, comments, I accidentally pulled the wrong podcast.
Megan BashamGUEST
And so they were sort of acting like, well, she pulled the wrong podcast episode, therefore, this book is discredited.
Holly Berkeley FletcherHOST
The evangelical reaction has ranged from somewhat reasonable confusion to basically a nervous breakdown.
Holly Berkeley FletcherHOST
On the sane end, VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer questioned why the casting was necessary, comparing it to other times Hollywood has sort of messed with the classics in various ways.
Holly Berkeley FletcherHOST
He also wondered if Aslan would still have a main.
Holly Berkeley FletcherHOST
And from all reports as of this time, it does seem that Aslan will still be male.
Dallas JenkinsGUEST
That's actually a great place to be in.
Dallas JenkinsGUEST
In my speaking engagements, I often quote my friend and unintentional mentor, the great Phil Vischer.
Dallas JenkinsGUEST
He'd created VeggieTales.
Dallas JenkinsGUEST
Yeah.
