Speaking4Him Podcast #736: Drummer Boy (2026)

  "He said this was the only place we could truly be free.” 

-Ben Clem

imdb.com

On today's show, I review "Drummer Boy," the highly anticipated new film from Angel Studios, produced by the Smallbone Brothers, known for their work as members of KING + COUNTRY. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution and arriving in theaters on November 6, this powerful family film goes beyond a simple historical retelling. It explores themes of freedom, family loyalty, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas that arise during times of conflict.

The story follows brothers Ben Clem (Lucas Leach) and Jeremiah Clem (Joel David Smallbone), whose loyalties place them on opposite sides as the Revolutionary War approaches. Melora Hardin delivers a standout performance as their mother, adding depth and emotion to their family's search for true freedom after leaving England for the American colonies.

Also featured is Emiline (India Brown), a slave whose relationships challenge societal barriers and expose the deep divisions within colonial America. Through its compelling characters and layered themes, "Drummer Boy" invites viewers to reflect on duty, independence, and the personal cost of freedom.

Listen Here and then go support this powerful movie in theaters this weekend!

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Speaking4Him Podcast #734: Angel & The Bad Man (2026)

  “Horses born wild generally stay wild. It’s in their nature.”

--Marshal McClintock

imdb.com

Today on the show, I share my review of "Angel and the Badman," which was released by Angel Studios on October 9, 2026.

This powerful redemption story features an impressive cast, including Zachary Levi, Neal McDonough, Tommy Lee Jones, and Meg Fraser.

It is a remake of the 1947 film of the same name starring John Wayne. The film combines a sense of adventure with a clear message about the redemptive power of Jesus Christ.

After Listening Here, I encourage you to take your friends and family to see it in theaters. If it's no longer playing, consider streaming it. Supporting quality films like this is important, as it shows filmmakers that their efforts are appreciated.
