“He Saw Hollywood Then—and Judges It Now”

In this episode of Faith Chats, hosted by Andrew Brunet, film critic and cultural historian Ted Baehr takes listeners on a rare journey from the Golden Age of Hollywood to the modern movie industry he now evaluates through Movieguide.

Dr. Baehr reflects on what made classic Hollywood storytelling endure—and what today’s industry has gained, lost, and compromised along the way. We talk about how values once shaped movies, why content standards still matter, and how Movieguide became a trusted voice for families, churches, and filmmakers navigating an increasingly fractured entertainment culture.

This conversation isn’t driven by nostalgia or outrage. It’s driven by discernment, history, and hard-earned perspective.

If you care about film, faith, and where culture is headed next, this episode delivers clarity you won’t hear anywhere else.
