What if the life you're building is costing you the life you actually want?

In this episode, Paul McDonald and Britt Mooney dive deep into The Family Man (2000) starring Nicolas Cage and Téa Leoni, exploring themes of identity, choices, consequences, and redemption.

"Is the ship out of danger?" Spock's first question to Kirk after sacrificing himself wasn't about his own survival—it was about whether his life counted for something. Part 1 forced Kirk to accept death is coming. Part 2 asks the harder question: What will you lose your life for?
Khan's superior genetics bought him nothing but wasted rage. Spock's sacrifice bought new life for everyone he loved. How we face death is as important as how we face life. You're going to lose your life anyway—will it be worth it?
This episode is dedicated to Jeremy Ross (1974-2025), who faced his Kobayashi Maru with the same strength and grace Spock faced that reactor core.

Captain Kirk doesn’t believe in the no-win scenario—but life doesn’t play by cheat codes forever. In The Wrath of Khan: When the Cheat Codes Stop Working, Paul McDonald explores what happens when control slips away, wounds resurface, and every path forward looks like loss.
Kirk’s arrogance and Khan’s bitterness reveal two ways men try to avoid pain: one by rewriting the rules, the other by feeding resentment. Both end in destruction. The real test is learning how to face death, grief, and failure without losing your soul.
This episode dives into faith, courage, and transformation—the moment when every man must face his own Kobayashi Maru.

“I don’t know what I’m doing here.” Eddie whispers as his 13-year-old son sits in a police cell accused of murder. It’s a confession every father feels but rarely admits — standing in the chaos, with no way out and no guarantee you won’t make it better.
In this episode of Men at the Movies, Paul McDonald and Simon (host of the Restoring Authentic Men podcast) unpack Part 1 of Netflix’s Adolescence. We wrestle with the illusion of control, the silence between fathers and sons, the fragility of boyhood, and the courage it takes to stay present when everything is falling apart.

Chris Farley’s Tommy Boy isn’t just comedy gold—it’s a story every man can relate to. Underneath the chaos is a powerful message: how do you move from being the beloved son to stepping into your role as a king?

Paul McDonald sits down with Rory Lawrence from The Dangerous Man Podcast to explore the brutal honesty of Lone Survivor. This isn't just a war movie - it's a powerful metaphor for spiritual training and the brotherhood required to survive life's battles.
From BUDS Hell Week to the mountains of Afghanistan, discover how Marcus Luttrell's story reveals what it takes to become a spiritual warrior. Rory shares his own dark battle with suicidal thoughts and how transparency broke the enemy's power. We dive into themes of identity in Christ, the training required for spiritual reigning, and why being "never out of the fight" is more than military jargon - it's a life philosophy.

When Coach Boone wakes his players at 3 AM for a run to Gettysburg, he's not just building physical endurance - he's forcing a confrontation with the deeper battle they're all fighting.
Paul McDonald sits down with Leo Clark (Texas basketball coach) and Conrad Schottel (Colorado) to explore how this 1971 integration story reveals timeless truths about unity, respect, and the courage to have hard conversations.
Leo shares powerful stories from his own coaching experience about breaking down racial barriers through sports, while Conrad unpacks how good authority figures become spiritual fathers. Together, they examine why unity can only come through truth-telling, not truth-avoiding.
This conversation goes deep into the spiritual warfare underneath cultural division and how sports becomes the great unifier when everything else fails.

Paul McDonald and Wailer Giles engage in a detailed discussion about the film On A Clear Day, which tells a profound story of a man who is earnestly trying to figure out how to live his life better and find deeper meaning in a world that often feels broken. At the center of this narrative, a son longs deeply for his father’s approval, desperately seeking validation and recognition. Conversely, a father yearns for his son’s admiration and appreciation, creating a complex dynamic between them. Frank and Rob are both learning how to navigate and cope with their individual grief, yet they find themselves unable to give each other the support they truly need. Ultimately, transformation emerges as the pivotal miracle of the story, symbolizing hope and renewal amidst their struggles.

Coming up on the Men at the Movies podcast, we share our first ever live recording. JB and I discussed Click at a men’s retreat and how Michael’s character is a lot like us. He has a lot of pressures to try to balance, but he feels like he’s failing at all of them. He keeps looking forward for what comes next, and misses out on today. It’s like chasing a carrot, but what will it cost him and us to catch it?

About Lee
I'm a father, a son, a worshipper, musician and a podcaster. You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not..God changed my life 10 years ago and is continuing to transform my, and my family's, heart. My love for film and music has been a great way to strike up conversations with non-believers and to express a new perspective of how God can speak to us through entertainment mediums that may not have been intentional by the creators. He works all things for good and I love seeking out new examples of that.
