As someone who grew up barely protestant, the only consistent church service I went to was Christmas and the nativity play at my junior school until I went to a secular high school and also as someone that unironically likes the glee version of some songs and had like a 5 month long high school musical kick recently, just generally likes musicals:
Journey to Bethlehem is actually so entertaining and they did not have to go so hard with the songs. I could immediately tell it was a modern retelling not intending on being accurate (biblically or historically) and that's fine. It's a movie with Milo Manheim and a donkey named Fig as a repccuring character, it's meant to be campy and for shits and giggles.

Have you been listening to The Sounds of Nightmares podcast series? I listened to the first 2 episodes & I find them fascinating! It’s like were experiencing the world of Little Nightmares from both an outside point of view & in it ourselves
I'm not a big fan of podcasts, they're not my thing, but for Little Nightmares, I went ahead and listened to the first two episodes.
The charm of the Little Nightmares games is that the characters are silent, and their faces are hidden, so it relies on visual storytelling and allows the player slight freedom to interpret facial expressions and gestures. I still prefer it that style.
But the podcast seems pretty good. I like Noone's theme.
We don't have all the episodes out right now, so we are missing information.
It seems like, at first listen, Noone is just a normal human girl with a tough past in a psych ward. She dreams of being in the Little Nightmares world, encountering other children along with new villain characters and other familiar territories like the Maw bathhouse.
The councilor, Otto, who is listening to her claims none of it is real. But it seems like he knows someone "Ceecee"? Who had also had nightmares about a similar man like Noone is dreaming. He is described as looking uncannily like the Ferryman who kidnaps children and brings them to the Maw. (Ceecee may have disappeared?)
So at first, this is the real world and this girl is just dreaming of the Little Nightmares Nowhere.
Then it seems like maybe these Little Nightmares are crossing over into the real world, having some strange supernatural effect on them.
But then Little Nightmares's in game time loop and wake up from post-death dreams means Noone could be having premonitions as to what is going to happen in the future? Like the apocalypse hasn't happened yet?
I do like her character and the other kids she describes. We got a new villain and place, some workshop woman, who imprisons people and forces them to work in her shop. She apparently made a Stone Giant. Is he like... the protector of her fortress? Of her prison? She herself has chains, is she also a prisoner just like everyone else? (even though Noone describes her as otherwise)
We never seem to come back to them.
I feel like it's a really well-made podcast for people who enjoy them. I'll keep listening in, but I don't really have any strong feelings about it either way. I don't really see it adding anything to the universe just yet. I have to wait for the next few episodes to learn more.

sorry about that last rambling post, i didnt mean to sound like its worse than it may be, but i got no ... lense to view it through but my own, and the main reason i wrote it out anyway was bc i needed to get it out (even if posting it might be not the greatest idea) .. and bc it kinda showcases, i think, how my stories kinda write themselves, involuntarily in a way? its not like im not putting in any effort- but its like .. i cant STOP it always keeps going and even the dumbest idea stays in some form, its very hard to get everything in place bc theres so much going on all the while i am very slow at making anything, writing or drawing anything, especially anythign coherent is very hard bc not only do i get constantly distracted, i get distracted by my own thoughts suddendly skipping to a certain scene and me having to go throguh imagining in detail NO MATTER how many times i have done it before for the same scene that i already decided on how it goes, when theres a new idea it can take over my entire day bc i cant let go of it-
not trying to sound either like im the only that has that sort of problem, but i think its a big part as of why i start tso many projects without being able to finish them, or even start them bc i constantly have to fight my own thoughts from derailing into another daydream session, thinking of too much too fast than i can ever draw or even write about and not knowing what is worthwhile and what isnt (im telling you i have no idea what is good and what isnt, idk why but for all i know all things i do could be trash, or they all could be bad, maybe the one i thinnk is decent is actually worse than the things i deem not good enough and once i start to think no this isnt good enough i stop having fun making or thinking it bc im trying to do better
honestly its kind of impressive that i can get anything out at all, not to pat myself on the back there but even if i hate how long it takes me, considering how much im having to work just to start working on something at all, the fact that i could post stuff coherent enough for some people to understand AND LIKE is something i should be a little more proud of
