Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

When the soundtrack makes a film with iconic dinosaurs and Jeff Goldblum take second billing, you have to sit up and take notice. Today we discuss one of my favorite films, Jurassic Park. Incredible composing and iconic musical themes set the stage for a thrilling tale that actually beats the odds to create a film better than the original book. 9.5/10 stars, masterful production that easily stands up to the test of time. Fantastic themes of family and responsibility, with insightful discussion on topics like ethics of animal theme parks, extinction, cloning, and genetic modification.

"Gung to work, Ho in Harmony." With these words, the fictional Lt. Col. Thorvald sets forth his vision for the Makin Island Marine Raiders. Based on a true story with minimal propaganda movie machinations, Randolph Scott leads a star studded cast in the 1943 war film Gung Ho! I rate this very highly, the story is remarkably free from historical shenanigans and presents a simple tale of war and derringdo. No content issues to be aware of, only a minor romance sub plot, but does depict the death and loss in war. On memorial day we remember all those who have died for their country, good or bad, black hats or white steeds. Even in the face of great evil and righteous war, humans are still made in the image of God and death should be mourned. We thank those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.

In the world of animated TV, few shows are quite as treasured in the US as Avatar: The Last Airbender which is back on Netflix now! Its a brilliant show but has a lot of troubles because of the pagan roots of the world. Be aware of that, you probably don't want to blindly let your children watch this without being ready to discuss Asian spirituality and reincarnation beliefs and why we as Christians believe differently. I rate the story an 8/10 but the pagan elements force me to rate it as whole a 5/10 max.

ROY ROGERS!!!! In today's episode of the Retro Movie Rewind, I'm going to talk about the singing cowboys and The Bells of San Angelo . This was the absolute first cowboy film I ever watched as a kid, and what helped kick-off a lifelong love of the classic singing cowboys. 10/10, simple plots but clean and completely wrapped up. Appropriate for all ages.

A welcome reprieve after watching Onward last month and being disappointed deeply, Abominable is up for discussion today! Great music and hugely artistic visuals, stunning on that aspect. Abominable rates a solid 8.5 for me! Minor philisophical issues, but overall a fantastic film. Happily recommended.

In today's Retro Movie Rewind we are looking at.....The Rescuers (1977)! Gorgeous hand drawn animation, feel good spirituality, and a Cruella De Vil archetype Villianess. A lovely and highly enjoyable cast and world with fantastic voices. 9/10, be ready to discuss orphans and the truth about where we find our Faith.

From classic action TV shows to the far reaches of the galaxy, Richard Dean Anderson leaps from the days of swiss army knife fixes to walking on far worlds. Stargate SG-1 is a brilliant sci-fi television drama with a huge amount of philosophical discussion. Not suitable for kids based on stressful situations and awkward philosophy that is not presented in the light of Christianity requiring more intensive thought and processing. Also creepy parasites. 8/10, minor sexual content in just a couple episodes across 10 seasons.

I grew up watching classic movies, and starting today we are diving into the glorious world of classic films! Our first Retro Movie Rewind is.....The Love Bug featuring the iconic Herbie! Its like Steve McQueen starring in It's A Wonderful Life, Now with 50% more Car! Pseudo-spirituality, and glorious classic cars make this an odd duck of a heart warming film. 8/10 rating, minor spiritual confusion issues.

Few genres are so quickly marginalized or stereotyped (for good reason) as Anime. Despite the well deserved cultural content warnings, there are some incredible gems available. Today we mention one such gem, Snow White With the Red Hair. Appropriate for all, 10/10 rating. Available on Hulu, and other services. DISCLAIMER: One show approved is NOT a recommendation for the genre, Anime covers everything from kids shows to pornographic production. Partake with caution.

Ori and the Blind Forest. Platformer, puzzle game, Japanese spiritualism, and impeccable art. I had never gotten into the platformer game art style, but this one caught my eye watching the sequel gameplay on twitch, and I just had to try it. 9/10 , only downrated for using a pantheistic world style straight out of Japanese mythology. Not a particularly dangerous usage, but something to be aware of if allowing younger people to play.

Today we tackle the controversial subject of the new highly acclaimed Pixar film, Onward . My rating: 1 star out of 5, NOT FOR KIDS. The first 3 minutes of the episode are spoiler free, But the verdict is grim. This is one Pixar film that tugs on many heart strings and then twists them in knots. I will definitely NOT be showing this one to my little siblings.

Today we talk about the author Brandon Sanderson and why his work is dangerous and should be avoided. This is largely in response to a bunch of people I have seen recently sharing his work and suggesting his books as a good reading option during the recent social distancing. In short, Sanderson's work is inescapably marred by his Mormon false beliefs and is extremely dangerous for weak believers.
