Episode 14: Best Virus Pandemic Movies with Father Brent

The Catholic Nerds are going viral! Not to make light of such a
dire subject as the current pandemic, the C-Nerds are reviewing our
favorite virus pandemic, non-zombie movies. Not talking about
zombies, as you will hear, is hard for us, though. We were also
joined by the very amazing, Father Brent Maher of St. Anne’s in
Morganza. Also, now introducing … Catholic Nerds Trivia!!! With
fabulous prize awarded, intermittently and inconsistently, and also
sufficiently over-branded. Though for some inextricable reason, we
never talked about Stephen King’s The Stand and The Seventh Seal,
the C-Nerds (pronounced “Capital C Nerds) performed death-defying
deep dives into I Am Legend and its predecessors Last Man on Earth
with Vincent Price and Omega Man with Charleston (Charleton?)
Heston; plus Contagion and all its weird, uncanny premonitions into
the corona-virus pandemic; 12 Monkeys and The Andromeda Strain;
and, regrettably, Sharknado. We investigated all the origins of
these fictional viruses, like Maze Runner’s Flare, I Am Legend’s
Krippin virus, and 28 Days Later’s Rage virus. We also checked in
with Father Brent - “Padre” - about parish and priest life in the
midst of the pandemic, plus the Divine Mercy Novena and upcoming
Novena to the Holy Spirit. We also asked Padre to digitally bless
things and us. Cody and Mary, who just had a home birth during the
pandemic (!!!), shared their new GoFundMe for women who lack the
insurance coverage to have a home birth and are wary of going to
the hospital right now:
