Lilli makes the crew take a BuzzFeed quiz to determine which KPop Demon Hunters character they are! Disclaimer: Because we are a Christian podcast, we understand and acknowledge that some listeners might be apprehensive towards this film because of its themes surrounding demons (after all, the word "demon" is in the title). So if you feel convicted to avoid hearing this film being discussed, no worries! Do as you feel led! But our mission in discussing this film here on PCJ is to identify the parallels in the story that directly tie to Christianity, in which we unanimously agree that there are plenty of! If you can give us a moment of your time and hear us out, we encourage you to not just listen to the whole episode, but to watch the film for yourself and discern whether you think the film has solid ties to scripture!
