ELSEWHERE: ‘Orange Is The New Black’ Doesn’t Get Religion

Last updated on: August 19, 2013 at 6:40 am By Jason Morehead

Netflix’s prison comedy/drama Orange Is The New Black is the service’s latest hit, following on the heels of House of Cards and the resurrected Arrested Development. (It currently has a score of 79 on Metacritic.) However, for all of its strengths, B. D. McClay argues that the show fails when it comes to representing religion: it presents a deeply caricatured version of religion (and religious adherents) even as it “depends heavily on the residual weight that religion’s cultural trappings can give a...

ELSEWHERE: Cultured Christianity and Its Dangers

Last updated on: August 16, 2013 at 11:25 am By Derek Rishmawy

Brett McCracken wrote a great piece on what it means to be a “cultured Christian” over at Q Ideas, and just put out what looks to be a great book, Gray Matters, that deals with Christian consumption of culture. Trevin Wax from The Gospel Coalition asks McCracken whether all of this can slide into an excuse for unfettered worldliness or uncharitable snobbery. Because navigating the fine line between legalism and license is what CaPC strives for, these questions (and answers) are... Read more

Last updated on: August 15, 2013 at 5:20 am By Geoffrey Reiter

Corporate sponsorship. Public service announcement. These are terms that would not seem to go hand-in-hand with great art. Yet consider this half-hour documentary on the dangers of text-messaging while driving, which AT&T commissioned legendary Oscar-nominated filmmaker Werner Herzog to direct. “From One Second to the Next” is a well-made, heartbreaking piece that allows some glimmers of the power of forgiveness.

3 Things I Love About Ashton Kutcher’s Teen Choice Award Acceptance Speech

Last updated on: August 15, 2013 at 7:24 am By Richard Clark

Who knew? Ashton Kutcher is kind of amazing. At least, he is if this acceptance speech at the Teen Choice Awards is any indication: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuBSRC1zpHw Ashton won the “Ultimate Choice Award,” whatever that means. Judging from the speech, it’s probably a kind of “lifetime acheivement award,” where a “lifetime” ends after you’re legally able to drink. I never really cared much for Ashton, mostly because I had some vague idea that he was kind of dumb, and also because if... Read more
