• 0:00
  What's going on, everybody? Welcome to Josh and the Giants.
• 0:02
  You are in for a special treat this week.
• 0:05
  Let me tell you this. Last week, Ben and I watched
• 0:07
  every single God's Not Dead movie.
• 0:10
  Every single one. And we're going to talk through
• 0:12
  them, review them, rank them. Guys, it's going to be a sick
• 0:14
  episode, Ben. What do you think, Ben?
• 0:19
  No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no.
• 0:25
  OK, So hey, hey guys. I'm.
• 0:27
  I'm Ben. This is Josh.
• 0:28
  Welcome to the show. Like Josh said, it has been a
• 0:32
  week. Let me tell you something.
• 0:33
  It's been crazy. My brain is mush.
• 0:35
  Yeah. Because this was really like
• 0:38
  watching approximately, I would say, eight, 8 1/2 hours of the
• 0:42
  same thing over and over and over again.
• 0:46
  And it became especially monotonous because most of these
• 0:49
  movies are just full of the same actors.
• 0:51
  Yeah, I it felt like when I was a kid and I got dropped off at
• 0:56
  my grandma's house for like a week or two and it was just 700
• 1:00
  Club. Yeah. 700 Club, Yeah.
• 1:02
  Over and over and over there. Grandma, can we watch something?
• 1:05
  No, that's what I thought. I'm going to be honest, I have
• 1:07
  no but like I love movies, I love TVI want us to continue.
• 1:11
  We in in the last episode or two episodes ago.
• 1:13
  We I can't wait to watch whatever the best Joseph Smith
• 1:16
  movie. Is the one where he's a
• 1:17
  velociraptor? Yeah.
• 1:17
  There we go. Yep, and but I just think 5
• 1:20
  movies is too Dang much, especially whenever the 1st 2
• 1:24
  movies they make them two hours long because they didn't realize
• 1:27
  this isn't even enough for 90 minutes and then the next three
• 1:31
  they make 90 minutes. But you know what it really is?
• 1:34
  This was watching a whole season of a show.
• 1:37
  That's really what these this series is and you told me
• 1:40
  they're going to make AI was. About to say, is now a bad time
• 1:42
  to tell you They're making a 6th one like it's in the works right
• 1:46
  now. Really.
• 1:47
  Yeah. OK, how much you want?
• 1:49
  I want to go on calci and I want to make the bet of like will
• 1:52
  David AR White be in? Yeah, yeah.
• 1:55
  What's? God, it's not dead movies.
• 1:56
  It's literally like a trillion to one, but I I put 100.
• 2:00
  Bucks on it. I was going to say, will will
• 2:02
  David R White be president or will he be?
• 2:05
  Well, I think that's let's let's get in, let's say, let's say,
• 2:08
  OK, I mean, do we want to just jump in with?
• 2:11
  The very first one. Let's just get the notes out.
• 2:14
  Here we go. If if you wouldn't mind Ben,
• 2:16
  could we sing the song just to kind of intro into it?
• 2:20
  Ready. Mark, God's not dead.
• 2:24
  He's surely alive. Yeah, yeah, guys, by the way,
• 2:28
  literally the Justice League of this universe.
• 2:31
  And I can't wait, especially in the first one, and I cannot wait
• 2:35
  to talk about. It this is God's Not Dead one,
• 2:37
  probably the one everyone's most familiar with for sure.
• 2:40
  We all remember seeing this one coming out of the movie theaters
• 2:43
  texting God's Not Dead. Send this to 20 friends or else
• 2:47
  you're going to hell, whatever it was.
• 2:49
  One of the Robertsons telling you to do that in my I wrote
• 2:52
  down a bit of the cast and I wrote two Robertsons because I
• 2:54
  don't remember which one is. It will.
• 2:56
  It's the main the main ones. Willy, I don't know.
• 3:00
  Yeah, so this one on Rotten Tomatoes, would you like to
• 3:02
  guess what this Rotten Tomatoes score was?
• 3:05
  Yeah, I would, if I'm being nice, be nice 25%. 13% critics
• 3:13
  score on Rotten Tomatoes. Valid.
• 3:16
  I the thing that made me mad right when the show starts
• 3:19
  absolutely is they just introduced every single
• 3:22
  character within the 1st 5 minutes.
• 3:24
  Oh, my gosh. I'm like, can I tell you some of
• 3:27
  my favorite character introductions?
• 3:28
  Yeah, Go ahead. One of my favorite character
• 3:30
  introductions for somebody who I did not expect to be a mainstay
• 3:32
  of the series. Chinese guy who white girl at
• 3:36
  registration is surprised that he's Chinese.
• 3:38
  And what I mean by that is he's she, I guess he's filling in
• 3:41
  whatever. And she goes what's whatever.
• 3:44
  He's like, oh, it's the People's Republic of China.
• 3:45
  And she's like, seriously, I'm like, look up, look at him, hear
• 3:50
  his voice. I don't want to say countries,
• 3:52
  but dude, he's literally like, yes, OK, I can't do it.
• 3:55
  It was a little. Bit of I was a little.
• 3:57
  Spanish so sorry, I don't know how so sorry, so sorry.
• 4:01
  Literally that's how he talks to me.
• 4:02
  He's like, oh so sorry and. She's like, told him like.
• 4:05
  Really. From China.
• 4:06
  Do you think he has like a normal American voice?
• 4:07
  And they told him like, hey, I hope so.
• 4:09
  Really have. You ever heard of that Jimmy
• 4:11
  Wang Yang? No, Jimmy Wang Yang was a
• 4:14
  professional wrestler in like the early to mid 2000s.
• 4:16
  His whole bit was that he was a cowboy, but literally the whole
• 4:20
  bit was like, but he's an Asian cowboy, but he fully talked with
• 4:23
  a redneck accent. Yeah, and his literal name was
• 4:25
  Jimmy Wang. Yang Well see in in Texas at
• 4:28
  least, there for every small community there is a little
• 4:33
  Asian family that runs a donut shop.
• 4:35
  They're essentially a mafia. Yeah, like there, there's a
• 4:37
  whole documentary on it. I think it's primarily
• 4:39
  Vietnamese. But all that to be said, they,
• 4:42
  they, the kids grow up, they got accents.
• 4:44
  There's like 1 country Asian in every single small town in
• 4:47
  Texas. There's a donut shop, but my
• 4:50
  goodness, a hundred, 200 feet from our apartment.
• 4:53
  Yeah, the mom and dad are like, and I'm not trying to, but
• 4:57
  they're like, and then the daughter sometimes will be at
• 4:59
  the window and she's like, hi, how can I help you?
• 5:02
  And I'm like. When she's returning home from
• 5:04
  Stanford, type on break. Yeah, for real.
• 5:06
  Yeah. And she's like actively doing
• 5:07
  math while I'm like, can I do hogs?
• 5:09
  Those are the best ones. Sweet Asian families.
• 5:12
  Real real spill, real quick hogs, right?
• 5:15
  Do you prefer cranking them? But do you prefer a hog with a
• 5:20
  lot of bread or not much bread? Not much I need I need I need
• 5:24
  the the hog to. Bread and show meat.
• 5:26
  I need some meat, need some jalapeno up in that thing.
• 5:28
  Speaking of character introduction.
• 5:29
  No craw, no hogs cranked in this.
• 5:31
  This series lets you know right off the bat where they
• 5:33
  politically lean because one of the also great character
• 5:36
  introductions I just wrote down super Muslim dad and daughter
• 5:40
  because what was. Her name, remember.
• 5:42
  Her name? Yes, Aisha.
• 5:44
  Aisha who saw that coming? Dawg, wait, tell me why I
• 5:49
  watched five of these movies. This character Aisha is in at
• 5:53
  least two of them didn't even make the connection.
• 5:55
  I can't believe you. I know, but literally she
• 5:58
  loosely has a her head wrap on and he is like, This is why I
• 6:02
  wrote down super Muslim. They pull up to the college and
• 6:05
  he's like adjusting and he's like all these Americans.
• 6:09
  They don't know what you would. I can't do that.
• 6:11
  That's actually not bad. Thank you.
• 6:12
  All of these are Americans and he kind of looks like me a
• 6:14
  little bit He's a bald bigger guy.
• 6:16
  He's got a beard. There's also can I tell you
• 6:19
  this? I probably cried at every single
• 6:21
  one of these movies 'cause I'm ASAP and cried.
• 6:24
  And yes genuinely stop it 100% OK do.
• 6:28
  You want me to tell you where? You where you I could jump
• 6:30
  ahead. Save it I want I want to save it
• 6:32
  for the right time, OK? So anyway, super Muslim dad and
• 6:36
  daughter, he's like adjusting her head wrap when they pull up.
• 6:41
  I wrote, I wrote our main character, Josh.
• 6:44
  Josh Howitt, right? Heck yeah, I think so.
• 6:47
  Dude wearing Newsboys shirt because in slight spoiler for
• 6:50
  the rest of the movie, everything about this guy's life
• 6:54
  revolves around the Newsboys. Yep, he has a Newsboys poster in
• 6:58
  his room. That's where he met.
• 7:00
  He met. His girlfriend of six years at a
• 7:02
  Newsboys concert. Yep, and the culmination of the
• 7:06
  movie. Everyone in town, like in the
• 7:09
  city, goes to a freaking Newsboys concert.
• 7:13
  Anywho, so by the way, like if we had a time stamp, we're.
• 7:17
  A minute, maybe 2 minutes. OK, go ahead.
• 7:20
  So one of my favorite character introductions, and this goes
• 7:22
  into my role within this, I told Ben that I would do a black
• 7:25
  character counter. Just black people that have
• 7:28
  lines in any of these movies just to kind of keep track.
• 7:31
  One of the first black people to speak does not have any other
• 7:35
  lines really, but he's in Josh's class, dude.
• 7:39
  And he goes and your name is the professor?
• 7:41
  Asks G Dog. G Dog.
• 7:44
  Wait, hold up because his whole name is even better because you
• 7:47
  know this movie was I I wrote this down.
• 7:49
  You know this movie was written by a white, right?
• 7:51
  He wanted to get closer saying a certain word.
• 7:53
  He couldn't G dog Gerald Triga. His last name is Triga, his
• 8:00
  thing is Gerald Trigger, and literally Kevin Sorbo was like,
• 8:04
  by the way, I'm just going to say this now, Best actor in the
• 8:06
  movie. Sorbo.
• 8:07
  Sorbo, OH. Yeah, I would also say
• 8:09
  genuinely, especially in the beginning, before they make him
• 8:11
  like a cartoonish villain. He's like charming.
• 8:14
  You're like, oh, yeah, easily. I would like this teacher.
• 8:18
  I would want to, even if I knew he was an atheist, I'd be like,
• 8:20
  you're such a like before he like, I don't want to spoil it,
• 8:23
  but yeah. Sorbo, easily the best actor,
• 8:25
  takes the cake. 100% Kevin Sorbo, his son.
• 8:29
  Follows. I see some stuff.
• 8:30
  He doesn't follow me, I don't think.
• 8:31
  Yo little Sorbo, what the heck you look?
• 8:33
  I think Braden. Braden Braden dad and son duo on
• 8:37
  the pod. Braden, I'd be sick.
• 8:39
  I think I've seen where Kevin Sorbo has, like a good sense of
• 8:41
  humor. Yeah.
• 8:42
  Yeah. Where he's like, yeah, he knows.
• 8:44
  He. Probably knows what this movie
• 8:45
  is disappointed. You know what that means, Kev?
• 8:48
  Type B. So yeah, you got G dog.
• 8:50
  Which they couldn't have had it. It could have been more obvious
• 8:54
  that it's a white person writing a black person that unless they
• 8:56
  like, made him hold a basketball under his arm.
• 8:59
  Yo, I just dropped my mixtape. Now I'm in class.
• 9:01
  He has. A blunt in class.
• 9:04
  What's up, mother? Also, dude, hold up.
• 9:06
  I wrote down so much stuff, Somebody said.
• 9:09
  Somebody tells Josh, our hero and big old Christian boy in the
• 9:12
  movie, as he was signing up for this philosophy class that Sorbo
• 9:16
  teaches. Somebody says you're walking
• 9:18
  into the snake pit. That's not a saying.
• 9:23
  It's like you're walking into the lions den, not the snake.
• 9:26
  Pit maybe they were just like, we have to really drive home the
• 9:28
  point that this is not a Christian university.
• 9:30
  So like they can't make any biblical attitudes.
• 9:33
  I wrote down woman, woman concerned old woman is eating
• 9:37
  children. Don't even remember what that is
• 9:39
  from the movie. It must have just been some
• 9:41
  random line. Some random line where they
• 9:44
  thought it was like. Was this the lady with with?
• 9:46
  Dementia not eating children, eating chicken because she that
• 9:50
  cause dude, I was like shut up. This old woman who literally has
• 9:54
  dementia, which that whole thing is dumb and doesn't make any
• 9:56
  sense. This is going to be our longest
• 9:58
  pod. It was indeed the longest
• 9:59
  podcast ever. I'm going to say this right now.
• 10:01
  It will, but it's going to be worth it.
• 10:03
  It's going to be so worth it. Please hold on with us,
• 10:05
  especially if you've seen these movies.
• 10:06
  I would genuinely for break up this pod into like a week.
• 10:11
  Can I watch the episodes go? Ahead, knowledge on there real
• 10:14
  quick. We're sitting here lamenting on
• 10:16
  how strenuous it was to watch these movies, and now we're
• 10:21
  making a podcast about the movies and we're like, expecting
• 10:23
  people to be like, this is a great entertainment.
• 10:25
  Oh my gosh. Thanks guys.
• 10:26
  You guys talk about this Uber niche thing I've never seen.
• 10:29
  No, there's an old woman who has dementia.
• 10:32
  She has a nurse, somebody who you later find out is her
• 10:34
  daughter is there. And she's genuinely concerned
• 10:38
  because the nurse comes up and she's like, hey, Lydia, whatever
• 10:42
  your favorite thing for dinner. And the woman is so happy,
• 10:45
  enjoying. She's like chicken.
• 10:47
  And then the nurse goes over to the woman and she's like, yeah,
• 10:50
  she had it for the last five days, too.
• 10:52
  And the woman, on her face, it's like she just told her she gave
• 10:55
  her cocaine. She's literally like, should we
• 10:58
  give her something else? It's like it's chicken.
• 11:00
  It's literally chicken and vegetable.
• 11:02
  She's good. She that's literally.
• 11:03
  She's eating better than you, by the way.
• 11:05
  She's an old person. They don't eat.
• 11:06
  Yeah, thank God. She like has teeth.
• 11:09
  But anyway, that's also stupid because she's like the later
• 11:12
  stuff in the movie, like I said, that's her daughter.
• 11:15
  And then she's she's like surprised she has dementia, even
• 11:18
  though they're like, oh, she's had dementia for years.
• 11:20
  Yeah, why? I'm still what is this?
• 11:22
  Did we write this movie on the day?
• 11:24
  Yeah, they're just figuring it out.
• 11:25
  My gosh. Anyway.
• 11:26
  Anyways, after the intros, the next thing I write I wrote down
• 11:31
  and I forget what I was even watching.
• 11:33
  Yeah, was liberal news media. It's just like, well, yeah, just
• 11:37
  the girl is instantly like, I don't know, hotshot reporter
• 11:40
  with liberal news media. Oh, my gosh.
• 11:41
  And it's like, of course you are.
• 11:43
  And they couldn't have made her look like the whole thing about
• 11:46
  Duck Dynasty. This is, I think I'm going in
• 11:49
  order. No one watches that show and
• 11:52
  thinks like, yeah, these guys are like the smartest.
• 11:55
  Also genuinely, what percentage of people that watch Duck
• 11:58
  Dynasty were not at least center right?
• 12:02
  Yeah, one person. I mean, seriously, not no jokes.
• 12:05
  I'm sure I've never watched it. I'm sure it was a fun show.
• 12:07
  It was fun. It looked fun.
• 12:08
  It looked enjoyable. Because she's all like, don't
• 12:11
  you think you're, like, making some people upset?
• 12:14
  No, no. Nobody watching the show.
• 12:16
  No one. Are they praying to Jesus?
• 12:17
  They're killing animals. They're hunting.
• 12:19
  Well, that's the other thing. She's like, you kill these ducks
• 12:22
  and you can even see on his face he's like, what?
• 12:24
  Yeah. Yeah, we kill them.
• 12:26
  That's what we do. I wrote down my next thing.
• 12:29
  I wrote down. Josh's girlfriend is insane.
• 12:31
  Yeah, she is. She's clinically insane.
• 12:33
  Yeah, she on the first day of class, Josh's teacher literally
• 12:38
  is like, hey, everybody write down God is dead because he's
• 12:42
  comically a like an atheist. But this whole thing is like,
• 12:45
  Nietzsche's God is dead. We've and that's somebody has to
• 12:48
  say in every single movie, we've grown past religion and da, da,
• 12:52
  da da, which like there's part of me that's like, is this real?
• 12:55
  And then you get online and you're like, Oh no, this
• 12:56
  actually is more people. Than you'd like to, but those
• 12:58
  people aren't professors. Usually they're just like in
• 13:02
  their mother's basement. Well, yeah, I don't know.
• 13:05
  A lot of them also have like degrees in theology and you're
• 13:08
  like. Dan McClellan.
• 13:09
  Yeah, it's just Dan. McClellan Oh, that should be
• 13:11
  fun. McClellan I can't wait to see.
• 13:13
  All right, let's see it. Dan's gonna, Dan's gonna
• 13:17
  deconstruct our our review of God's not Danny's gonna be like,
• 13:20
  actually, I watched the movie and everything they said is
• 13:23
  completely incorrect. Wow, Kevin Sorbo is the hero and
• 13:26
  it's a really unfortunate ending about him then.
• 13:27
  Which is gosh, we are so OK, OK, so the first day of class in the
• 13:33
  philosophy class, he tells everybody right down God is
• 13:35
  dead. Josh, super Christian of the
• 13:37
  movie, is like, I can't do that. I gotta defend my faith and his
• 13:41
  girlfriend is like fuck you. Like.
• 13:43
  No, of our, all of our plans, you're going to ruin it because
• 13:47
  you're going to fail this. Place.
• 13:48
  They're freshmen. They're 18.
• 13:50
  This is their first day of this is they.
• 13:52
  Just got there. Dude, Oh my gosh, they're right
• 13:55
  in there. And she's like, no, no, I forbid
• 13:58
  you. I forbid you.
• 14:01
  OK What? Yeah, also, it's like 30,
• 14:03
  whatever. But she's like, you would think
• 14:06
  also, they met at a news voice. She's also a Christian.
• 14:09
  But the movie is very clearly like, yeah, but Josh is a real
• 14:11
  Christian. She's not.
• 14:12
  She's she's a lukewarm. She's a piece.
• 14:14
  Of garbage whole endeavor is like throughout the entire
• 14:17
  semester and it's only like 20 minutes.
• 14:20
  I have a couple of classes like it's not like this would take
• 14:22
  him an astronomical like I've been dedicating like like
• 14:27
  thousands of hours. It's like, yeah, I just like
• 14:29
  you'd study a. Bit more yeah.
• 14:30
  Later on, she's pissed that he has like books in his bag and
• 14:32
  it's like, we're in college. What do you.
• 14:34
  I did write down somewhere there was a guy in the class who was
• 14:38
  like who left because it was a college class.
• 14:40
  You remember that guy? He's like, I'm out of here
• 14:43
  because Kevin Sorbo was like, you're going to have to work.
• 14:44
  And he's like, not me, by the way.
• 14:47
  Classroom age ranges 15 to 45. There was literally a 12 year
• 14:52
  old kid. I swear he was 12.
• 14:54
  And then the woman sitting next to Josh in the first day, Oh my
• 14:58
  gosh, it, it feels like PTSD how I can remember this so clearly.
• 15:01
  The woman sitting next to him, they clearly dolled her up to
• 15:03
  look younger. But she was somebody's mom.
• 15:05
  She was somebody's mom on set. But anyway, so yeah, I actually
• 15:09
  wrote something down here that in retrospect was not good.
• 15:12
  I wrote down Aisha's dad seems like a good guy because the next
• 15:19
  time we see him, and here's what I mean by that, here's what I
• 15:23
  mean by that, The next time we see him so bad, he's.
• 15:25
  He is like very Muslim, but he they write him with some degree
• 15:31
  of heart. Yeah.
• 15:32
  Because the next time we see them, they're in a car and he's
• 15:34
  like, look, I love you. I know it's really difficult
• 15:38
  because nobody else practices this.
• 15:39
  By the way, take her to a different school, Uber Christian
• 15:43
  School, which in the subsequent movies we find out like the
• 15:46
  school was founded by a whatever by a church that no, I can't
• 15:52
  believe we're still in the first one.
• 15:53
  I just wrote down. He seems like a good guy.
• 15:55
  I also wrote down a general church because you never really
• 15:59
  know the nomination. Really.
• 16:00
  They have like stained glass window.
• 16:01
  It's like vaguely they. Tried so hard they were like how
• 16:04
  can we incorporate every type of church building or church
• 16:08
  denomination so that like everyone.
• 16:10
  Watches we have 1 character in the third one, the judge that
• 16:14
  the brother has to go see who's I mean it's a Catholic Church.
• 16:17
  She's like you're interrupting mass.
• 16:19
  But this one it's like, I guess they could be Lutheran or
• 16:22
  something, whatever doesn't matter.
• 16:24
  Also, and I'm going to point this out now, there's an
• 16:26
  inconsistency in the series. I think it wasn't until later on
• 16:30
  that they plan on making it like a bloodline church thing.
• 16:35
  Oh like you got it from his dad and stuff.
• 16:36
  Because in the first one, he's like, I'm just the junior
• 16:38
  pastor. Yeah.
• 16:40
  You never see the senior pastor. Where's your dad?
• 16:42
  Yep. Anyway.
• 16:43
  So yeah, that didn't make sense on that point since we're
• 16:46
  getting to the church part. When?
• 16:49
  So this is the second black character that gets lines.
• 16:53
  It is the the painfully Nigerian, I already forgot his
• 16:56
  name, Jude. Yes.
• 16:58
  Jude So he's just like super African and they like, yeah, he
• 17:05
  gets lines, he's the second black person, but then he's
• 17:08
  somehow not familiar with rental cars because why would someone
• 17:11
  from Africa know what a rental? Car is they probably walk
• 17:14
  everywhere. Yeah, well, he was.
• 17:16
  Probably unfamiliar with shoes too.
• 17:18
  That's like the vibe of the movie though, by the way, That's
• 17:20
  what I'm saying. And he's also always like he has
• 17:22
  like like he just got hit in the head with a bat.
• 17:24
  He's. Just like everything's.
• 17:25
  All the time. Oh, my gosh.
• 17:27
  Oh, my gosh. Brother.
• 17:28
  Brother what? What's the white guy's name?
• 17:30
  Reverend Dave. Thank you, Reverend Dave.
• 17:32
  Reverend. Dave.
• 17:33
  Oh, I can't wait to talk about him for the next 3 1/2 hours.
• 17:36
  I'm going to skip around slightly.
• 17:38
  Everything about his life circles around the I think I
• 17:41
  said freaking here, Newsboys. Yep I wrote down liberal gets
• 17:46
  cancer lol because that's the whole thing. the Super Lib
• 17:50
  reporter. The next thing we see of her
• 17:52
  she's like I have cancer. Boyfriend could not care.
• 17:56
  Less boyfriend. Literally this girl goes up to
• 17:58
  her boyfriend like big dinner is weighing on her and she tells
• 18:01
  him like breaks the news and he's just like.
• 18:04
  Her boyfriend Dean Cain, a failed ICE agent.
• 18:07
  Dean Cain is comically evil. He could not care.
• 18:11
  He is literally like businessman only care about business.
• 18:15
  You have cancer. Sorry Dad, not business.
• 18:17
  She tells him that and he's like, couldn't you have told me
• 18:19
  this tomorrow? Because he he also, he
• 18:21
  celebrated something. And it's like, Oh my gosh, dude.
• 18:25
  No human would act like that, though.
• 18:26
  That's like the whole thing. It's like, how can we be so on
• 18:29
  the nose and drive home the point that this guy's a jerk?
• 18:32
  Let's just give his girlfriend cancer.
• 18:34
  His master. His master is money and that's
• 18:37
  you can tell because his what His master.
• 18:40
  You can't serve 2 masters. It's in the Bible.
• 18:42
  His master. I couldn't understand what.
• 18:44
  He was saying my God's nut dead. I also wrote down here go dude,
• 18:49
  perfect. Josh makes this unbelievably
• 18:54
  impressive slideshow because he does the first time like the so
• 18:58
  the whole thing is he has to do three kind of like
• 19:02
  demonstrations, right? And he gets 20 minutes at the
• 19:05
  end of like 3 different classes, the first one and it's like it
• 19:08
  seemingly it's like that week or the next week.
• 19:11
  He makes like a genuinely impressive slideshow full of all
• 19:14
  this like art transition transitions like crazy.
• 19:18
  Knocks it out of the park. I guess I also forgot in this
• 19:21
  movie The the the atheist professor is like pathetic as
• 19:25
  all get out. He has no good arguments, he
• 19:27
  can't say anything. Yeah, it's like, oh, you're
• 19:29
  educated and you've dedicated your entire.
• 19:31
  Life to this he also genuinely might kill Josh because after
• 19:35
  the first time that after the first day where Josh gives his
• 19:38
  slideshow, he literally like physically stops him in the
• 19:41
  hallway and he's like, you don't think you're going to make a
• 19:43
  fool out of me? I don't think so, buddy.
• 19:46
  Not in like there's people walking by and it's like you
• 19:49
  proposed the thing you did this. You're letting me do this.
• 19:52
  You've been doing this for like 30.
• 19:53
  Years, yeah. You haven't like prepared that
• 19:55
  someone would say. No one.
• 19:56
  No one else was ever like I actually, I don't think.
• 19:58
  God, I'll take you up on your. Offer all those people he
• 20:00
  killed, those people He's like, I don't know what happened to
• 20:03
  Jared anyway. Muslim girl is secret Christian.
• 20:08
  Yep, good, cool, I'm. Yeah, the.
• 20:12
  OK, cool. Like, Yep, I don't know, the
• 20:15
  iPod Touch was a pretty sick. That was sick.
• 20:17
  Also, the camera focuses on it for so long.
• 20:19
  It's like, I get it. She's she's listening to the
• 20:22
  Bible. Yeah.
• 20:24
  Also beat up your brother. Her brother storms in and, like,
• 20:27
  sees it. And she's like, you can't tell
• 20:29
  to Papa. It's like you're a what?
• 20:30
  Happened to blackmailing your sibling.
• 20:32
  Be like, don't tell Papa or I'm gonna.
• 20:35
  Hit you. Yeah, there should have been a
• 20:36
  scene where he's like smoking cigs and he's like you better
• 20:38
  shut up Aisha to otherwise. Anyway, I also wrote Josh loses
• 20:43
  6 year long relationship because he defended his faith, which I
• 20:47
  get is like part of the thing in the movie is like he's willing
• 20:49
  to give up anything. But again, his girlfriend is
• 20:51
  clinically insane. Yeah, he and he's like doing
• 20:54
  well with the thing and she's like I hate you.
• 20:58
  It's over. And even Josh is like, really?
• 21:00
  Are you serious? We just yeah, the whole.
• 21:02
  Idea of that I feel like is to your point like, oh, he's giving
• 21:04
  up so much, but like you watch that and you're like, good for
• 21:07
  him. So much better.
• 21:08
  For real. Based on a sacrifice.
• 21:09
  Can I be honest with you? You know what I wanted to
• 21:11
  happen. Wanted Josh and Aisha to get
• 21:13
  together. Loki kind of thought they were
• 21:16
  going with that because Aisha is same.
• 21:19
  Aisha. OK.
• 21:20
  Aisha's at the school. Yeah.
• 21:22
  I have a feeling Aisha's like 30.
• 21:24
  Did you get that vibe at all? No.
• 21:26
  No. OK, maybe maybe they're the same
• 21:28
  age, but I was low key. I kind of, I didn't remember the
• 21:31
  movie because I'd seen it years ago and I was like, do they end
• 21:34
  up together? They could they go?
• 21:35
  So I would have been like my dog Josh.
• 21:36
  No, no, no. Every dude, these movies are
• 21:41
  like afraid of a guy having a remotely sexual relationship
• 21:45
  with a woman. Yep.
• 21:46
  Every main character dude is asexual.
• 21:49
  Like, except for yeah, I don't know.
• 21:52
  Do we even see a kiss? Like, I don't know.
• 21:54
  I didn't write it down. Not the first one at least.
• 21:56
  No, because the one couple? Well, no, I bet we do see a
• 21:59
  kiss, probably between the professor and Mina.
• 22:03
  But they're not. They're not married, so they're
• 22:05
  sinful. That's sinful.
• 22:06
  Weird thing I wrote down. Black guy white guy subplot
• 22:09
  sucks because it does it. Does.
• 22:11
  Especially in the first one. In the first one the whole thing
• 22:14
  is literally OH or core broke down.
• 22:18
  And then the pastor's like, man, my life really sucks.
• 22:20
  And then the Africans guys like, what is good?
• 22:23
  When I was growing up, we did not have any food.
• 22:25
  And it's like, oh, you got you starve because you're from
• 22:27
  Africa. And that's all we know about
• 22:28
  Africa because you guys don't have food or rental cars.
• 22:31
  Yeah. Type B, that's a line in the
• 22:32
  movie and it actually says that the number of times and it
• 22:35
  happens. I'm almost glad that something
• 22:38
  happens in the third movie because then I don't have to
• 22:40
  hear these guys back and forth go God is good all the time.
• 22:43
  All the time God is good. They do.
• 22:47
  It makes me upset to be. Yeah, watching.
• 22:49
  You know what I mean? Yep.
• 22:51
  That's the thing. The movie nails it, where I hate
• 22:53
  the atheist characters because they're comically atheist.
• 22:56
  The movie fails because I hate the Christian characters too.
• 22:58
  I hate everybody. Everybody kind of sucks, except
• 23:00
  for in each movie there's one stand out, and in this one for
• 23:03
  me, Kevin Sorbo, I don't. Thought you're gonna say the
• 23:05
  Muslim dad. Well, he's a, he's a good guy.
• 23:08
  He's he's, he's good. People, man, I.
• 23:10
  Wrote down professor dating old student because she was and they
• 23:14
  do. They do a whole thing.
• 23:15
  And this is kind of the point where he starts.
• 23:17
  Well, I mean, I guess whenever he like, physically confronts
• 23:19
  Josh in the hallway, he's becoming more comically evil.
• 23:23
  But in this he he's like Dean Kane.
• 23:25
  He just couldn't care less about the woman he's been involved
• 23:27
  with for years. She's like, but you know about
• 23:29
  my faith. And he's like, I know you're an
• 23:31
  idiot. And she's like, stop.
• 23:34
  The. Lowest self esteem you've ever
• 23:38
  seen on a woman is Mina. I was like, yeah, I know you're
• 23:41
  insanely stupid and low and she's just like, OK.
• 23:44
  These are OK these are two these are two thoughts back-to-back
• 23:48
  professor and Mina give abusive couple energy yes the next thing
• 23:52
  I wrote down is Mina sucks to be honest because she sucks dude
• 23:57
  she has no personality she's. Just kind of like she, she put
• 24:00
  herself in this awful situation and she's just whiny about it.
• 24:03
  She sucks, and then she finally stands up for herself.
• 24:05
  And then she kind of sucks again.
• 24:07
  Cuz flash forward to the end a bit.
• 24:09
  They're at the new. They're at the Newsboys concert
• 24:11
  that everybody in the city goes to.
• 24:13
  And she tells the professor, just give your life to Jesus.
• 24:15
  And he's like, I don't believe. And she's like, OK, well, I'm
• 24:18
  going to go listen to the Newsboys.
• 24:20
  OK, great. Isn't that awesome Here, Go
• 24:23
  ahead. Oh, can I get to the point in
• 24:24
  the movie where I cried? Yeah.
• 24:25
  Oh yes please. Can you guess what it was?
• 24:29
  Oh, real quick, I wrote down the soundtrack is terrible because
• 24:32
  it was. Yeah, soundtrack sucked.
• 24:34
  It like the sound cues were insane.
• 24:36
  It was just it was comically like like, oh, this is a tense
• 24:40
  scene, bum, bum, bum, bum. And you're like, what the just
• 24:45
  do no noise. I also wrote down the movie
• 24:47
  remembers Aisha exists because even in our conversation, it's
• 24:51
  fairly soon recently that we talked about the brother thing.
• 24:54
  There's 30 to 45 minutes until we see Aisha again.
• 24:58
  And then now, Josh, can you guess whenever I cried in the
• 25:00
  first movie? Does it have a scene to do with
• 25:03
  the old lady? No, no, it's not that.
• 25:05
  That's a decent scene. I would actually, it's fine.
• 25:08
  But no, it's whenever Aisha is abused for being a Christian, I
• 25:14
  genuinely like they broke me up because she's like, no Papa, no
• 25:18
  Bubba. I believe in Jesus.
• 25:19
  I believe. And he is literally like
• 25:21
  smacking her around the house. He's knocking her down the
• 25:24
  stairs, throws her outside. And I'm like, I was crying, like
• 25:27
  I was tearing up and I was like. Son of a gun that's easily like
• 25:30
  the most. Yeah, I, I wrote, I cried.
• 25:35
  Chinese kid wants to be a Christian, but his dad is
• 25:36
  against it. I'm just going to RIP through a
• 25:38
  couple of these because we want to get to the final thing.
• 25:40
  Professor gets dumped and looks like such a loser.
• 25:43
  Bravo Damina. She walks in.
• 25:45
  She walks in whenever he is like at work in front of his dogs poo
• 25:49
  pooing on this Christian kid who has been murdering him in the
• 25:52
  back and forths. It's not even close.
• 25:55
  And she just walks up and she's like, hey, Professor Kevin
• 25:58
  Sorbo, we're done. And he's like, you can't do that
• 26:00
  to me. And she's like, we're done.
• 26:01
  And then leaves finally stood out for herself.
• 26:03
  Finally one thing I want to throw in too the the the whole
• 26:08
  thing of like people being frustrated with God, like the
• 26:14
  the son that's like businessman or whatever.
• 26:16
  Because in case you didn't know, Kevin Sorbo's girlfriend is
• 26:21
  related to the bad businessman that told the Liberal, I don't
• 26:23
  care that you have cancer. Well, Kevin Sorbo's girlfriend
• 26:26
  is the daughter of the dementia mom.
• 26:28
  Yeah, but he's the son. Yeah, he's the Yeah.
• 26:31
  Like he's frustrated with God, like at the end, like talking to
• 26:34
  her, like your God turned his back on you and it's like she's
• 26:36
  90 with dementia. Like she's lived a good long
• 26:38
  life. I don't really understand.
• 26:42
  Oh God. You let me live to 90 but I had
• 26:45
  dementia in my final year like. Yeah, we don't really get
• 26:47
  anything with him. And I mean, spoiler alert, but
• 26:50
  his character comes back. We don't get anything more.
• 26:52
  He is comically evil. Every time we see him, he sucks.
• 26:55
  He just sucks. And even in this, the mom has
• 26:57
  like a good and that's probably one of the most clipped parts of
• 27:00
  this movie I've seen. Like on Instagram, just
• 27:02
  scrolling. It's good.
• 27:04
  The mom has like a whole thing where it's like, I don't even
• 27:07
  really remember it, but it's just like, you know, God is
• 27:09
  good. Like she's coherent for a second
• 27:10
  all the time. Yeah.
• 27:11
  And all the time God is good. She doesn't say that.
• 27:13
  It's much better than that. So let's get to the culmination,
• 27:15
  all right, please. So the whole the final debate
• 27:18
  scene, Yep, there's turned I'm yelling at you and I'm yelling
• 27:22
  at you and blah. Blah, blah.
• 27:23
  Well, Kevin Sorbo precedes it and he's like, we're gonna
• 27:25
  switch it up. Not really.
• 27:27
  In the last one or two, he's been interjecting at the end,
• 27:30
  but go ahead, go ahead. So I'm I'm yelling and I'm
• 27:32
  yelling and then it's like this heightened scene or whatever.
• 27:35
  And and then Josh is looking at the professor like, do you hate
• 27:37
  God? Do you hate him?
• 27:39
  And he goes, yes, I hate him. How can you hate someone if they
• 27:42
  don't exist? Drops the microphone.
• 27:46
  And literally like, look at me, this Kevin Sorbo is literally,
• 27:51
  again, you haven't thought about that for 30 years.
• 27:54
  You've been hating God and making a thing where you like
• 27:56
  literally pull down your pants and poop on every Christian in
• 27:59
  your class. And you haven't thought about
• 28:00
  the fact that because your mom died of cancer as a child and
• 28:03
  right then you were like, God, he and my mom and he didn't do
• 28:06
  it. And then you were like, oh, I
• 28:07
  hate God. You've never, you've never
• 28:09
  connected those dots. Men.
• 28:12
  Yeah, dude, guys, they internalize their feelings.
• 28:16
  You like be in touch with your emotions.
• 28:19
  So yeah, Josh murders that I actually wrote down.
• 28:21
  I kind of like the last debate. The last, I mean, it is cheesy,
• 28:25
  whatever. I will say this, the best actor
• 28:27
  in the movie is Kevin Scorbo, easily the character, the actor
• 28:30
  who plays Josh in in all of the little bits where he's giving a
• 28:34
  demonstration. That's where he shines.
• 28:36
  He did well. That's Yeah.
• 28:37
  I mean, I bet that guy, I mean, I don't know, he could be like a
• 28:41
  a speaker. He'd give a mean Ted.
• 28:42
  Talk. He would give a mean Ted talk
• 28:43
  every other time and it is pretty much the same.
• 28:46
  In the other movies he comes back and not great.
• 28:49
  It's very much like reading off the script.
• 28:51
  But for some reason, right then he locks in and then after that.
• 28:56
  Michael Tate. Oh my.
• 28:57
  Gosh, we see Michael Tate, the News Boys are playing.
• 29:00
  They're all at the concert and we're.
• 29:02
  Dancing. The boys got the news.
• 29:03
  Let me tell you something. The Michael Tates.
• 29:05
  Yeah. Oh, go ahead.
• 29:06
  Sorry. No, I was no, I was just going
• 29:07
  to say a fake old letter from dead mom.
• 29:10
  Kevin Sorbo. He's he's like looking over the
• 29:12
  pieces of paper from the beginning of the movie where
• 29:13
  people wrote God is dead. And he opens a drawer and there
• 29:17
  is like a comically aged letter. They clearly took a piece of
• 29:20
  paper yesterday and put coffee on it.
• 29:22
  And they're just and he's and it's literally his mom being
• 29:24
  like, hey son, I'm such a Christian and I hope God,
• 29:28
  Christian, Christian, and I hope you're a Christian.
• 29:30
  I hope you do what God? And he's just like, like
• 29:33
  literally that's the point of the letter is like, I'm dying of
• 29:36
  cancer, how it hurts so bad. But I hope you do.
• 29:39
  What Christian do Christian Christian Bible verse Anyways
• 29:42
  I'm going to die now. And then on his desk, for some
• 29:44
  reason, he has a newspaper. How many people read the
• 29:46
  newspaper? I mean, this was 2014.
• 29:48
  OK, he probably was right. Fair enough.
• 29:50
  Fair enough. My bad.
• 29:51
  Sorry, and on the newspaper owns head.
• 29:56
  Sorry, I know that you owned up. There like J Jon to J with a
• 29:59
  cigar. God, I know that you own the
• 30:01
  news Boys. Anyway, and on his desk there's
• 30:08
  a big thing where it's like Christian rock band or whatever
• 30:11
  comes to town and he's there's no thing where he's like, oh,
• 30:16
  does Mina even say she likes the.
• 30:17
  News No. No.
• 30:18
  He's just like I know where Mina be there he runs because nobody
• 30:22
  drives in this movie. He literally runs across town to
• 30:25
  the to the arena finds her, which if anybody ever been to
• 30:29
  arena, there's a few thou people finds her no problem.
• 30:33
  Every character in the movie literally outside of Aisha's dad
• 30:38
  is at the Newsboys concert. Chinese kid at the Newsboys
• 30:41
  concert. We we completely skipped over.
• 30:43
  He has a whole thing with his dad because China, because I
• 30:46
  mean China. A lot of Chinese people aren't
• 30:48
  Christian and it's very heavily. Sure, OK, sure.
• 30:51
  But also the Chinese kid being as annoying as he is makes me
• 30:55
  not care. What's up guys?
• 30:56

• 31:25
  Michael Tate is definitely there.
• 31:26
  Also, I've never really listened to the Newsboys.
• 31:29
  I didn't know their drummer had like a Mohawk and and like a
• 31:32
  tight tee and he's and he's like a little buff and he's just
• 31:36
  drumming. Make you feel some type of way.
• 31:40
  And going back to cancer Lib, she shows up and she's doing
• 31:45
  she's kind of trying to do her thing again of like Newsboys,
• 31:48
  you, you, you talk about your faith, God and you with God.
• 31:51
  And they're like, yeah, actually God.
• 31:54
  And she's like, and then they pray over her.
• 31:57
  And by the way, maybe that could happen.
• 32:00
  Sure. What does not happen is
• 32:02
  somebody, one of the the the like stage texts comes over and
• 32:05
  they're like, hey guys, we got to go on.
• 32:07
  And Michael Tate's like, can you give us a minute?
• 32:09
  Because I fully believe in real life.
• 32:11
  They'd be like, OK, bye Amy, bye.
• 32:12
  We got to go do so we got to go do.
• 32:14
  In real life, too. In what world are because the
• 32:18
  news, the News Boys were big in 2014.
• 32:20
  In what world are some of the biggest artists getting ready
• 32:23
  for their stadium show with thousands of people and then
• 32:26
  just anyone with a badge can just kick down the door to their
• 32:29
  thing? Like hey guys, it's me.
• 32:32
  Woke liberal media news. What's up you Jesus Christian
• 32:36
  Jesus. Jesus.
• 32:37
  Yep. How about that?
• 32:38
  Where does that come from? I don't know.
• 32:40
  No, no, bodyguards don't now. To be fair, I would say were the
• 32:44
  news was big in 2014 a 100% they were still Christian rock.
• 32:47
  Yeah, but they they wouldn't. Just they were big.
• 32:49
  They were huge. Yeah.
• 32:50
  We should look up their net worth.
• 32:51
  Can you look that up? Can you look up Michael Tate net
• 32:53
  worth just for something in the background, it's pretty good.
• 32:56
  Circle 2014. Not now, right?
• 32:58
  I mean, I don't know but. They have like a line graph.
• 33:02
  Huge and straight up. That's the end of the movie.
• 33:05
  That's the end of the movie. Oh no, it's not.
• 33:07
  No, it's not. There's the thing.
• 33:10
  So Mina and the professor, we talked about this a while ago.
• 33:14
  We've been going for so long. Mina and the professor, they
• 33:17
  can't reconcile. Nope.
• 33:19
  And he's like fine. So he take, we watch him walk
• 33:24
  back across town for like 2 minutes, it starts to rain, blah
• 33:28
  blah blah. He goes across a crosswalk and
• 33:31
  gets hit by a car. Yep and black guy white guy are
• 33:36
  right there. They didn't hit him.
• 33:38
  I genuinely forgot how the movie ended so I thought do they hit
• 33:41
  him? They don't.
• 33:42
  They're just a car right there. What's Michael Tay's not worth?
• 33:45
  5 million. See.
• 33:48
  See what I mean? And then Newsboys as a whole,
• 33:50
  like around Ted. Oh my gosh.
• 33:53
  So he was screwing them over. Yeah.
• 33:54
  Lead singer. I mean, he was.
• 33:55
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 33:56
  Also the black one and also the third black guy to talk in this
• 33:59
  movie. 3 black people with speaking lines.
• 34:02
  In the 1st 1G dog what? Was it?
• 34:04
  What was it? What was it?
• 34:06
  G Dog. G Dog Black Pastor Michael Tate.
• 34:08
  That's it. Crazy.
• 34:10
  Anyway, So yeah, he gets hit by a car, they bust out of their
• 34:14
  car to go help him. They're decent enough guys,
• 34:16
  sure. Also, their whole subplot.
• 34:18
  Their car's not working because they're going to go to a place
• 34:20
  and then finally the car does work.
• 34:22
  And it leads them to this. Moment.
• 34:23
  That's why they're the moment, dude.
• 34:26
  Is somehow savvy enough medically now to fill Sorbo's
• 34:30
  chest once? Oh, his lungs are like bleeding.
• 34:33
  Like filling with blood. He's only got a couple of
• 34:35
  minutes. Well, he go and this I could
• 34:37
  believe if I felt your ribs and they were broken.
• 34:39
  Yeah, I could probably tell that, but yes, he goes.
• 34:42
  Oh, and he has punctured a lung. He's dying.
• 34:44
  Yeah, which is X-ray. It's so funny because he is
• 34:48
  literally Kevin Sorbo's selling it pretty well.
• 34:50
  He's like and he's acting his Dave Kevin Sorbo's.
• 34:55
  Acted his butt off. And Pastor Dave is like, do you,
• 35:00
  do you have Jesus Christ here, Lord?
• 35:01
  And he's like, no, I don't believe.
• 35:04
  And he's like, literally the whole thing is like, maybe you
• 35:06
  should believe. And he's like, OK, And then he
• 35:11
  does, and then he dies. Could Kevin Sorbo really did
• 35:15
  kind of crush this 12? Three my God's not dead.
• 35:20
  He's sure. Yeah.
• 35:22
  Hashtag God's not dead. Text 10 people.
• 35:24
  Text 20 people or computer, make them gay.
• 35:28
  Computer make these people text 10 people and then there's
• 35:30
  10,000 people and that's a million.
• 35:33
  And then they all send us $1.00. And then everybody gives a
• 35:36
  dollar, but just us but. We give it a dollar, Yeah, Yep.
• 35:39
  So that's the end of the first one.
• 35:41
  Matt. How long have we been recording?
• 35:44
  30. 8 minutes too long, Son of a gun.
• 35:46
  What's good is that I didn't write down any notes for any
• 35:48
  other. Movies.
• 35:48
  Yeah, the other ones sucked somehow worse.
• 35:50
  Out of five, what would you give the 1st?
• 35:52
  One, just you personally, 2 yeah, two I'll probably give
• 35:57
  you. Only if I wasn't a Christian I'd
• 35:59
  give it a freaking 0. Oh my gosh, I would turn it off
• 36:01
  so quick. Yeah.
• 36:02
  But yeah, I'll give it a 22. OK, Rotten Tomatoes for the
• 36:05
  second one. The first one was 15/13/13.
• 36:10
  It was this one like 910%. Hey.
• 36:15
  Dude, I don't know what? I don't know how bad the
• 36:20
  residual checks from Brittany the vampire, whatever she was in
• 36:24
  Buffy the teenage witch. What was it?
• 36:27
  Selena, the teenage witch. What was Melissa?
• 36:29
  Joan Harden. She's in this.
• 36:32
  She is. Let's paint the scene, Yeah?
• 36:33
  Sabrina the Teenage Wish Sabrina.
• 36:35
  The teenage wish she just needed some money for real for real.
• 36:37
  So let's paint paint the scene for you.
• 36:39
  God's not dead 2 same setting. It's still in the same Arkansas
• 36:44
  community where the the the college is and the church is.
• 36:47
  But this time. Probably two or three years
• 36:50
  later. Two or three years later, a
• 36:52
  history teacher at a high school, a student asks her a
• 36:55
  question about Gandhi or Abraham Lincoln and then brings in the
• 36:59
  students like what about the teachings of Jesus and the the
• 37:02
  teacher answers on the affirmative, like, like this is
• 37:05
  what Jesus taught, like the most factual.
• 37:07
  Thing, Yes. The student asks.
• 37:10
  Did teachers, did teachers, did Jesus teach this?
• 37:13
  Pretty much. And she's like, yes, Jesus said
• 37:15
  blah blah blah. Yep, and then that leads to a
• 37:17
  court case and then that's the movie.
• 37:19
  That's it. It's just it.
• 37:20
  That's the. That's the.
• 37:21
  Summary the synopsis of course I want to jump.
• 37:24
  I didn't write any of this down. The girl who asked the question,
• 37:28
  her parents are like so crazy atheist.
• 37:31
  They hear about that, they sue the teacher.
• 37:34
  That's the court case. Those people I was waiting for
• 37:37
  like some sort of like redemption arc.
• 37:40
  They are, like, just evil because her brother, there's a
• 37:44
  huge part of the movie, her brother died.
• 37:47
  They could not care less. They're literally like, hey, so
• 37:51
  how's the housing market, going to college, Go to college.
• 37:54
  Yeah, They at one point in the movie, they called the Salvation
• 37:57
  Army to come pick up their stuff.
• 37:58
  And the mom is literally this cold about it.
• 38:00
  Hey, Mina, or whatever the girl's name is, those charity
• 38:04
  people are here to get your brother's stuff.
• 38:05
  Can you make sure they get everything?
• 38:07
  The brother died like a year ago.
• 38:09
  And she, which was also a long scene, she goes and sits on his
• 38:13
  bed and you literally watch people take boxes out of the
• 38:18
  room. Like there's probably half a
• 38:19
  dozen boxes and they pick up one at a time.
• 38:21
  And the whole thing is, again, terrible soundtrack for this
• 38:24
  whole series. But it's like, Josh, pretend
• 38:27
  like you're sitting on a bed ready, and I'll do the
• 38:29
  soundtrack. That's it.
• 38:36
  And then one of them kind old woman, which I don't know why
• 38:38
  they sent her to move boxes, but she's like, hey, found this
• 38:42
  amongst your brother's stuff. It's a Bible.
• 38:44
  She didn't know her brother was a Christian.
• 38:46
  This OK, You know what? Because not you didn't take
• 38:49
  notes for this one too, right? No.
• 38:50
  Really. I did my black people counter
• 38:52
  and then I just wrote down this is this is literally what I
• 38:56
  wrote down is black people counter.
• 38:59
  ACLU is filing a lawsuit over this.
• 39:03
  Then I said, what are they arguing about?
• 39:06
  Dude from John Tucker Must Die is her lawyer.
• 39:11
  Did you ever see that movie? Whenever, Yeah.
• 39:12
  That didn't convince me at all. He did not convince me in that
• 39:16
  role, like the role as an attorney.
• 39:18
  My gosh, no. Well, I mean, his best moment is
• 39:20
  kind of at the end whenever he. Yeah, but no, he.
• 39:24
  I don't. Yeah.
• 39:26
  That movie. Very quick tangent, John Tucker
• 39:28
  Must Die was a movie whenever I was a kid that made me falsely
• 39:31
  think what high school would be like.
• 39:33
  I was like, Oh my gosh, so, so many girls.
• 39:36
  Wait a minute, so many girls like you fool with.
• 39:39
  And then oh, my gosh. Like, that's what I thought.
• 39:41
  Because he's like the hottest guy in the school and they're
• 39:43
  all the hottest girls, like love him.
• 39:44
  And then they want to kill him. Anyway.
• 39:46
  He plays her attorney and his whole thing is like one of the
• 39:50
  few pretty chill atheists in the series.
• 39:53
  He's like, I don't believe, but you know what?
• 39:55
  I used to have rights. Actually, thinking about it, he
• 39:58
  does the same thing the brother does in the third one, which his
• 40:02
  whole thing is like, I'm an atheist, but you know what, you
• 40:04
  have rights, so I'm going to defend you.
• 40:06
  Whoa, whoa. Devil from Reaper is in it.
• 40:09
  Anybody who has seen that great show The Devil from Reaper, you
• 40:13
  can look at the actor. He's been in a million things
• 40:15
  comically evil. And he goes to meet with the
• 40:18
  parents of the girl and drops. Yeah.
• 40:20
  And I'm going to let you say this, Josh, the line of the
• 40:23
  movie. Go ahead.
• 40:25
  We're going to prove once and for all that God is finally
• 40:30
  dead. Yep.
• 40:31
  Out of it nowhere out of for real, dude.
• 40:34
  Great. Hey, give him his check.
• 40:36
  That's great. They literally just had to.
• 40:38
  They literally thought that they just had to include OK, God is
• 40:42
  dead. OK, let's have an antithesis.
• 40:44
  OK, now and then really you think nothing else happens in
• 40:48
  the movie? There's like drama where also
• 40:53
  was Sadie Robertson. She was like the friend of the
• 40:56
  girl whose brother died, and she's just kind of Sadie
• 40:59
  Robertson's just like, I'm filming you, I'm filming you,
• 41:01
  and that was kind of it. By the way, the teacher you want
• 41:04
  a new fun fact. Yes.
• 41:06
  Budget for 5 million for this movie.
• 41:08
  No it wasn't. It's 5 million.
• 41:10
  Well, you know what I heard about these movies?
• 41:11
  2,000,000 for the first one. Oh, what?
• 41:15
  What? They got Sorbo for that cheap?
• 41:18
  Wow. 64,000,000 at the box office Oh my gosh 24,000,000 for
• 41:22
  this the. Minute, dude, they said.
• 41:25
  We're making ten of these bad boys.
• 41:26
  For real. For real.
• 41:27
  Well, OK, so a mutual friend of ours, Connor McLaughlin, he told
• 41:31
  me that these movies are like, legit money laundering schemes,
• 41:36
  that I believe that some of the way that they raise their funds
• 41:39
  is from, like, mega churches. Yeah.
• 41:42
  Donating money and, like, becoming partial owners of the
• 41:44
  film, becoming producers. Yeah.
• 41:46
  And then said churches will use church funds to buy a bunch of
• 41:50
  tickets, So all that money just goes back to them.
• 41:53
  No way. For real.
• 41:55
  And then, yeah, it was just a whole thing.
• 41:57
  He sent me. I got the voicemail.
• 41:58
  I could play. That's not.
• 41:59
  But I believe it. Oh, IA 100%.
• 42:01
  I believe it because you also watch these movies.
• 42:03
  And it's like, yeah, these aren't real movies.
• 42:04
  This is like, no, this this is something to have on a streaming
• 42:08
  service and scroll by. Yes.
• 42:09
  And you may be wondering why aren't they talking more about
• 42:11
  the plot? Well, there is not.
• 42:13
  There's no plot. There's.
• 42:14
  No plot in the second movie. There's no plot.
• 42:17
  Melissa Joan Hart is like just a Christian lady, the teacher who
• 42:21
  cares for her dad at home, who like, why even have that?
• 42:25
  No point. I genuinely, I wanted this movie
• 42:27
  to end. Whether she wins or loses the
• 42:30
  court case, he falls over at home and nobody's around to help
• 42:32
  him. Yep, they just cut away and he's
• 42:35
  like, Oh my hip and. Then 'cause she's like, he's
• 42:38
  like. Making popcorn on the stove and
• 42:40
  it's like smoke fills the house and he's like oh baby.
• 42:44
  And then nothing. And then nothing comes of it.
• 42:48
  But no. And then they just.
• 42:50
  She goes to court because she gets sued by the kids family for
• 42:54
  and they're just. Which it's crazy 'cause it's
• 42:57
  like a big gotcha moment. Also, the dude who's an attorney
• 43:00
  is so dumb, so stupid that he doesn't also know that Jesus is
• 43:04
  a historical figure. They're like, wait a second,
• 43:06
  he's like. You're a history teacher.
• 43:09
  What if we can? Prove.
• 43:11
  That Jesus real quick existed. I just realized where a lot of
• 43:14
  this budget went into. Who do they bring in for like
• 43:18
  key witnesses? They bring in Lee Strobel who
• 43:22
  wrote the case for Christ. They bring in the detective who
• 43:24
  wrote Cold Case Christianity. And both of those guys get more
• 43:29
  screen time than probably any black character in the movie.
• 43:32
  Yep. The black character counter for
• 43:35
  this movie was of course Michael Tate, again, the African pastor
• 43:39
  from the first one, Pastor Jude. Dude the principal of the school
• 43:42
  is super Lib and black and then the judge is just kind of like
• 43:46
  angry and black and that's it. Oh yeah, Ernie Hudson's in the
• 43:49
  movie and there's no big moment with him.
• 43:52
  I was expecting like something with Ernie Hudson.
• 43:54
  I don't. Know who Ernie Hudson is.
• 43:56
  Dog, you got to watch more. Movies.
• 43:57
  I know. I got it, Ernie.
• 43:57
  Hudson, have you ever seen Ghostbusters?
• 44:00
  No, don't pull the gun, do you? Want to be on a pod?
• 44:04
  Don't pull the gun out. That's Ernie Hudson, OK.
• 44:06
  He's also a stud, by the way. That's it.
• 44:08
  What a beat. We can talk from it.
• 44:09
  Yeah. He's like 60 something and he's.
• 44:11
  Yeah. Ernie cover Josh's camera cuz he
• 44:13
  didn't know who he was. Put it up there for a second
• 44:15
  real quick. Well, Josh, I want you to speak
• 44:17
  and have Ernie Hudson just up there.
• 44:20
  Do I need to be God? Lee, I think of Ernie.
• 44:21
  Hudson What a what a. So that guy's the judge anyway,
• 44:26
  it's me, Ernie Hudson. That's not at all how he sounds.
• 44:29
  He sounds Cleveland. He's got a sick deep voice.
• 44:31
  He's like, y'all will respect me in this courtroom.
• 44:34
  And everybody's like, oh, OK, OK.
• 44:36
  Yeah. Anywho, nothing happens.
• 44:39
  They just they just so thoroughly win it and it and
• 44:42
  this is a reoccurring thing in these movies like big atheist
• 44:46
  professor, I'm smart, you're dumb kid can't provide any kind
• 44:49
  of case. Legit attorneys on the side of
• 44:53
  the parents because they have a whole team and then she has
• 44:55
  like. Some rag tag dude, some kids in
• 44:58
  his. Car and he's they're just
• 45:01
  morons. They do nothing.
• 45:03
  That's the whole thing of these movies.
• 45:04
  Atheists are dumb and stupid. So we're libs and we're awesome.
• 45:08
  And the government's against us. It's a whole other thing.
• 45:11
  Hold up. Let's.
• 45:12
  Let's give it a right? We get they do get mad Alex
• 45:16
  Jonesy pretty soon and also, you know what I mean?
• 45:19
  But that's OK. But so the end of the movie is
• 45:22
  they win. I wrote after that last scene
• 45:26
  when they win and everyone runs, that's like God it's not.
• 45:28
  I just wrote WTF just happened? No, no, no, because you have to
• 45:31
  go into more of that. Nothing in the movie outside of
• 45:34
  crazy old white man who goes, we're going to prove God is
• 45:36
  dead. And he says that just to the
• 45:38
  parents. Nobody else sees it, right?
• 45:40
  They learn that they've won the court case.
• 45:43
  All the teenagers who are at the courthouse, which by the way,
• 45:47
  also in these movies, teenagers care so much, which is just not
• 45:52
  school. Well, not even not even school.
• 45:55
  I cannot remember, like me as a teenager, even if there was like
• 45:58
  a big court case in town, I wouldn't have been at the
• 46:01
  courthouse. Imagine being 15 and your homie
• 46:04
  comes up to you like hey bro you want to go to the courthouse?
• 46:07
  I'd hit him so hard. Shut up.
• 46:08
  Do not bring the shoulder. Oh, what the And I'm like, do
• 46:11
  you want to be a dude now or what?
• 46:12
  Hey bro, you want to be politically?
• 46:14
  Active in our community and go to the court no.
• 46:16
  My gosh, Xbox, I want to fight you dude, for real.
• 46:20
  I'll go to jail. I'll go to jail rather than I'll
• 46:22
  be there. So anyway, they the kids run out
• 46:24
  and they just start going. God's not dead.
• 46:27
  God's not dead. Nobody said he was dead outside
• 46:30
  of 1 scene that happened in a house between 3 characters.
• 46:34
  Nobody in the courthouse was like God is dead because that'd
• 46:36
  be even more insane than it already was.
• 46:40
  And then that's the right. And then they just come out and
• 46:41
  everybody's like, yay, by the way, it's a courthouse.
• 46:45
  There's people just trying to work and there's these kids just
• 46:48
  screaming and shit. And also so many people, there's
• 46:51
  people like out on the steps in the streets because this
• 46:54
  teacher, it's insane, dude. These movies upset me so dearly.
• 46:58
  And I'm just like, OK, cool. And also watching this, I
• 47:02
  realized, oh, cool, we got three more.
• 47:04
  Yep. I finished up the second one and
• 47:06
  took a very deep breath and recollected myself.
• 47:10
  So on to the third one. No, no, hold up real quick.
• 47:12
  You got more? No, not really, because I don't
• 47:15
  think anything else really happens.
• 47:16
  Nothing at the end of this one. They still do ask you to text, I
• 47:19
  think. OK, because pretty soon they go
• 47:20
  to hashtags. That's so forward thinking.
• 47:23
  About it. So it's just we're going to take
• 47:25
  over 20. OK.
• 47:26
  One thing I want to say about the series that I do appreciate
• 47:29
  outside of Kevin Sorbo, they don't do the thing where every
• 47:32
  atheist has to become a Christian.
• 47:34
  That's true. Her attorney, he's reading like
• 47:37
  man Myth, Messiah, some book that I'm sure they got a
• 47:40
  sponsorship for. But there's never anything where
• 47:42
  he's like, I believe there's never that.
• 47:46
  A lot of the people who are like just villains who are atheists,
• 47:49
  they don't just become good Christians.
• 47:51
  So I, I, I will give them their credit for that.
• 47:54
  Some people just don't believe. That's OK.
• 47:56
  That that is fair. Like everyone doesn't converts.
• 47:59
  Yeah, OK. I will say probably if we're
• 48:02
  going to rate this one, this was the worst one in my opinion.
• 48:06
  It's really, it just, it was so pointless.
• 48:09
  Like it it the whole time. I'm just like, what is going on?
• 48:13
  Like I, I'm not the smartest guy, but like, I couldn't follow
• 48:16
  the plots. So I'm going to give this one a
• 48:18
  a 0.01 out of five stars. Well, I don't even know if I
• 48:23
  would say this was the worst one, man, but maybe it was the
• 48:27
  worst one because, like, I'm gonna give it a one.
• 48:31
  I do think it was worse. So, OK, starting off, I thought
• 48:34
  it would be better than the first one.
• 48:35
  Yeah. And it was not.
• 48:37
  No, it quickly was not because. OK, OK, hold up.
• 48:40
  One thing I don't want to miss. When did Ben cry in this one?
• 48:43
  Can you guess? Do you remember any specific
• 48:45
  scene that was more emotional in this?
• 48:49
  No. Oh, real quick.
• 48:50
  We also didn't mention Martin's back in it.
• 48:52
  We didn't mention multiple people.
• 48:53
  Oh, yeah. Yeah.
• 48:54
  Because they. They don't.
• 48:55
  It doesn't. Matter, Martin.
• 48:57
  The Asian guy's in it, Aisha's in it, right?
• 49:00
  I don't know if Aisha's in this one.
• 49:02
  OK, but but cancer Lib in it because because hold up, cancer
• 49:08
  Lib. Thank you.
• 49:10
  I'm so glad we remember this. Cancer Lib.
• 49:12
  Cancer goes away. Yep.
• 49:14
  And then and this maybe this could have actually been
• 49:16
  slightly interesting, but she gets barely any time.
• 49:19
  Cancer Lib. Cancer goes away.
• 49:20
  And then she kind of has this internal thing of like, well,
• 49:22
  did I only believe in God because I wanted my cancer to go
• 49:24
  away? Yeah, which in something else
• 49:27
  could be a good storyline, sure, could be a good, like, internal
• 49:30
  struggle. And then she just eventually
• 49:32
  believes at the end and it's like, great, cool, cool.
• 49:35
  So you know who else is in it again, Michael?
• 49:37
  Tay is in it because they've continued to be friends her with
• 49:42
  the Newsboys and she just calls them to be like.
• 49:44
  Hey boys. Oh my gosh, what's the news at?
• 49:46
  The courthouse she calls and Michael answers the phone on
• 49:50
  stage. He's like, guys, my friend Amy,
• 49:54
  she's and you know, there's like they cut to kids just the most
• 49:59
  random generic concert footage of kids, like 8 year olds be
• 50:03
  like, because also, what are you telling me?
• 50:06
  Because Michael Tate literally goes, my friend Amy is dealing
• 50:09
  with a court case where a teacher wasn't allowed to talk
• 50:12
  about and then they cut the kids.
• 50:14
  Can we all just say a quick prayer?
• 50:16
  God bid. And it's like, this wouldn't
• 50:19
  happen. No.
• 50:20
  Why would they care? They wouldn't care.
• 50:22
  Yeah. This one happened for 1000
• 50:24
  reasons. Back to when did Ben cry?
• 50:26
  Can you guess any particular? I can't.
• 50:27
  I can't with this one. That's fine.
• 50:29
  Whenever the daughter, the girl who like the parents, are suing
• 50:32
  her, she has a scene at the church where she's talking to I
• 50:36
  think Martin because part of Martin's character progression
• 50:40
  is that he's just becoming a Christian, which he already
• 50:44
  pretty much was at the end of the first one.
• 50:46
  He's so asexual, dude. Every whatever Martin does,
• 50:51
  everybody does. Martin's just, sorry, he's just
• 50:54
  a piece of cardboard with lines like he has.
• 50:56
  No, he's Asian cardboard. He's just cardboard.
• 51:02
  Like, he just literally walks around like cardboard, kind of.
• 51:05
  And just hello, Like, I'm a Christian.
• 51:07
  Well, he doesn't sound like that.
• 51:08
  Well, no, he doesn't sound like that.
• 51:10
  Hello. Hello.
• 51:12
  I'm not tired. No, he doesn't do that either.
• 51:14
  But anyway, so he has a scene with her.
• 51:16
  They're in the church and she tells him about the Bible and
• 51:19
  she's like, I didn't even know my brother was a Christian.
• 51:22
  I opened the Bible and all of a sudden in the margins, he's
• 51:24
  filled out all these notes and it was like, I can genuinely
• 51:27
  feel myself getting show right now.
• 51:29
  She was like, you know, I had prayed and asked God for five
• 51:31
  more minutes with my brother. And in this way, I felt like I
• 51:34
  got those five more minutes because I got to, like, get to
• 51:37
  know him. And genuinely, I'm sitting there
• 51:39
  and Kiana had come out from whatever.
• 51:41
  And I'm like, with tears of eyes.
• 51:42
  I'm like these freaking movies, babe.
• 51:45
  Yeah, for real. And I would be like this if I
• 51:47
  remember correctly. I don't, well, maybe not, maybe
• 51:51
  I don't cry in all of them, but definitely those first two.
• 51:53
  So that would not me. So you would give it a .01. .01
• 51:57
  out of five, yeah, one out of five.
• 51:59
  OK. On to the third one.
• 52:00
  God's not dead. This one was a light in the
• 52:03
  darkness. Light in the Darkness, and I'm
• 52:04
  not going to lie, I'm going to spoil it slightly.
• 52:08
  My favorite one of the series. Yeah, I think so.
• 52:11
  Yeah, I would. I would.
• 52:12
  I think I agree with that. Yeah.
• 52:14
  We'll get into it. Yeah.
• 52:15
  Yeah. Rotten Tomatoes got a guess for
• 52:17
  me. Do they all have Rotten
• 52:19
  Tomatoes? OK, I like it more.
• 52:23
  I'm going to. 20%, Eleven percent.
• 52:26
  Shut up dude, this one is better than the first one.
• 52:29
  Yep. I I.
• 52:30
  Yeah, I would say. You would say.
• 52:34
  But you're not a rotten tomato, because I've also already said.
• 52:38
  So Ben thinks this one's better than the others.
• 52:40
  So if it. Hasn't been made easier.
• 52:42
  I actually love these movies. So right off the jump in this
• 52:45
  one, they just killed off the black guy.
• 52:48
  Hey, man, yeah, crazy way to start the movie.
• 52:52
  And also, by the way, all these movies maintain their PG rating.
• 52:56
  This one, the way that he dies. So a kid throws a brick through
• 53:01
  a window. That brick hits a gas line.
• 53:05
  Jude goes in the basement because they were walking by the
• 53:07
  church. They heard the glass break.
• 53:09
  They go inside to investigate. Jude heard something down in the
• 53:12
  basement goes down and just by the way, replace your light
• 53:16
  bulbs, gang, because he literally turns the thing and I
• 53:19
  guess it was a light bulb where the glass was cracked.
• 53:22
  So it flicks and then the gas blows up, blows him into a wall.
• 53:27
  And then whenever Reverend Dave comes down, he's like bleeding
• 53:31
  out of the back of his head. And he's literally like, and
• 53:35
  he's like, it's OK, Jude, I got you.
• 53:36
  Pulls him across the basement, up the stairs, through the
• 53:40
  church outside. And he's literally like he says
• 53:45
  something in Nigerian, whatever he's like on the one in the and
• 53:50
  he's like, Dave is literally like what he's like.
• 53:54
  I don't know what that means. We've been friends for years,
• 53:57
  but I haven't learned which by the way this phrase learn.
• 54:04
  This phrase that we've uttered back and forth.
• 54:06
  Oh my God. This phrase that we've said 10
• 54:09
  billion times, Dave. Goes to some funeral, Dave goes
• 54:13
  to his funeral and his parents, the dad is like or whatever.
• 54:18
  And he's like, that's what Jude said to me.
• 54:20
  And he's like, and the mom is like, it's actually really hard
• 54:23
  to translate. Is it because you do it
• 54:26
  immediately? So she's like, and it's funny
• 54:28
  because she, they do a decent job of her like roughly
• 54:31
  translating it. So the translation is like
• 54:34
  always, always God is good and always or like all the time.
• 54:40
  He is always and Dave is like. Like all the time and all the.
• 54:44
  Time and I we cannot we cannot make it abundantly clear how
• 54:48
  much they say this in the 1st 2 movies.
• 54:50
  Don't. What have I told?
• 54:52
  You I want to drive the point home.
• 54:53
  They do it so much in the first. In the first one alone, they do
• 54:57
  it five times, which is too much to say.
• 55:01
  God is good all the time, and all the time God is good.
• 55:05
  So anyway, that happens. Yeah, the movie opens up, They
• 55:07
  kill one of the black guys. So yeah, right off there.
• 55:11
  Like we just lost our consistent black guy counter.
• 55:13
  This movie takes place right after the second one, I think,
• 55:20
  right? Yeah, yeah, right after.
• 55:22
  Because the whole reason that, Oh no, they're starting to blend
• 55:26
  together. The third one takes place right
• 55:29
  after the second one, after the whole victory at the courthouse.
• 55:32
  One thing I'll give the second one, actually, and this may bump
• 55:35
  it up to a 1.5 for me. Is it AR white or R white?
• 55:40
  ARYI think. David AR White is barely in it
• 55:43
  because he's like appendix bursts or something.
• 55:46
  He's in the hospital for a lot of the movie.
• 55:48
  It's like, thank God. And this is the point in the
• 55:50
  series where they go. We're gonna make all these about
• 55:52
  him. And so in this one, the back
• 55:54
  story is that the church is like in controversy kind of, I guess
• 56:01
  the college is like, we got to get this church off our campus
• 56:05
  in Arkansas of super conservative state because.
• 56:08
  It's in light of the 1st 2 movies so the whole thing is
• 56:11
  like. Church controversial.
• 56:13
  The overarching theme is more and more that like America is
• 56:16
  becoming anti Christian, right? And we're seeing this even in
• 56:20
  this small town. So, yeah, the whole thing is
• 56:23
  like, these people are like, oh, the church and we see these and
• 56:27
  they make one of them a one of the few black kids who like has
• 56:30
  a speaking role. He's very clearly like a liberal
• 56:33
  activist who's like, oh, because Dave has a thing, I guess where
• 56:37
  on on the news where he's like, well, you know, Jesus is the
• 56:40
  truth and the, the black kid is like the truth.
• 56:43
  There's no, there ain't just one truth and dah, dah, dah, dah.
• 56:46
  Oh my gosh. And also, can we talk about the
• 56:49
  eyebrows on the on the kid that basically killed Jude?
• 56:54
  Please tell me you noticed that. I literally you saying that just
• 56:57
  made me be like. Dog, he had half eyebrows.
• 57:00
  Matt, whenever you get a chance, look up God's not dead, a light
• 57:03
  in the darkness and look for like you'll notice him.
• 57:06
  One of the cast members has literally half eyebrows and I
• 57:08
  feel Brad, if it's a genetic thing and he can't help it.
• 57:12
  So I apologize if it's that. But anyway, you'll see any who
• 57:16
  so that kid did it and I don't even really remember why he did
• 57:19
  it because because he was he he was another atheist that's just
• 57:23
  like mad at God. And the church has been involved
• 57:25
  in some controversy, which, just like with the teacher thing, the
• 57:29
  church didn't do anything. Yeah, the church is just like
• 57:30
  we're just literally here in the college is, is saying, oh,
• 57:34
  here's how we'll get them eminent domain because they're
• 57:36
  technically on our property. So we can like take the church
• 57:40
  and tear it down and build new dorms or something.
• 57:43
  And then this is whenever we get the best acted character in the
• 57:46
  movie, which is. Pastor.
• 57:49
  Dave. Reverend Dave's brother.
• 57:50
  Yep, who is great? My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
• 57:53
  Yep, the main guy from that and he is great.
• 57:56
  He knocked you out of the park. He's literally he's this movie's
• 57:59
  best version of Matthew McConaughey.
• 58:01
  He's literally he's the most relatable.
• 58:03
  Guy, he's literally just like whatever dude if you.
• 58:05
  Lined all of these actors up across all 5 movies and you're
• 58:08
  like, you have to spend time with one of them.
• 58:10
  It'd be. That guy.
• 58:10
  Oh my gosh. Well, it'd be that guy.
• 58:12
  And then very close. Well, for the first little bit,
• 58:16
  Michael, the first one, yeah. Michael Day in his Sharpie and
• 58:21
  and so. Yeah.
• 58:22
  So again, in this movie, not a whole heck of a lot happens.
• 58:26
  We get a fist fight, which again, the way they kept the PG
• 58:29
  is interesting, but we get a fist fight between Pastor Dave
• 58:33
  and basically, I guess what the Dean of the the college.
• 58:37
  Yeah, the. Dean's pissed because someone
• 58:39
  threw a brick. Who was that guy?
• 58:40
  Was married with children the like AL's best friend?
• 58:46
  For anybody who's married with children, you'll know what I
• 58:48
  mean. I thought you were saying he
• 58:50
  was. I just thought he was a little
• 58:51
  too old to be like married with children that young.
• 58:54
  No, I mean, there is that ongoing thing.
• 58:56
  I mean Dean Kane's girlfriend, the reporter was like 10 years
• 58:59
  younger than him. Anyway, again, not a whole heck
• 59:02
  of a lot happens. In this movie, they're just in
• 59:04
  court. They are just in court.
• 59:06
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 59:07
  So boring. Just over and over this this
• 59:10
  this movie started a something that really infuriated me.
• 59:15
  Is this movie really leaned into, hey, every 30 minutes
• 59:19
  we're going to pan to a a news reporter, breaking news or like
• 59:23
  opinion based reporter that's going to explain everything
• 59:26
  that's happened because the people watching this are too
• 59:29
  stupid to follow along. I want to give this movie a pro
• 59:32
  in that from this one onward, they're better shot.
• 59:36
  So they're more shot like actual like decent, like like a decent
• 59:40
  series. The 1st 2 movies are like
• 59:44
  terrible lighting. It's always just bleached out.
• 59:47
  Everything, every window is open and the sun is always out In
• 59:50
  this one, sometimes you get some shadows, you get some nighttime
• 59:52
  shots. There's some genuine like David
• 59:56
  AR White. I'll give him one thing.
• 59:57
  He's not the worst actor in these movies.
• 59:59
  No, he just has way too much screen time.
• 1:00:02
  And I don't know. And I think you told me he's a
• 1:00:03
  producer of every single. One, I think.
• 1:00:05
  So back to the asexual thing. Past Reverend Dave's still
• 1:00:08
  single. Mad single and this is the only
• 1:00:11
  one where we get a little bit of him being like, is that a girl?
• 1:00:14
  Is that a girl? Oh, a girl with a girl.
• 1:00:17
  Nothing. Nothing came of it.
• 1:00:18
  Nothing. At all, he probably screwed.
• 1:00:19
  That there's nothing in the succeeding movies?
• 1:00:21
  Nope. Nope, she's just like, yeah, the
• 1:00:24
  the protagonist. I also want to say this way too
• 1:00:27
  much in these movies and it's in it's in all of them people
• 1:00:31
  quoting Bible verses like verbatim.
• 1:00:34
  Oh yeah, like Habakkuk 1/5 and then you'd be like Habakkuk 1/5
• 1:00:38
  and just. Come on, It's like, who does
• 1:00:41
  that? Who does it in conversation?
• 1:00:42
  I guess pastors to each other, but even still, I don't think
• 1:00:45
  so. We.
• 1:00:46
  Have to read this verse out loud because we know our audience
• 1:00:48
  won't look at it to reference. It golly, come on.
• 1:00:51
  But this one, yeah, actually also this one, I think part of
• 1:00:57
  the reason why maybe this is my favorite one, it actually kind
• 1:01:00
  of has an ending where the Christians don't just win
• 1:01:03
  because, like Josh was talking about, the school does the whole
• 1:01:06
  eminent domain thing. At the end of the movie, the
• 1:01:10
  pastor comes to the point of being like, you know what?
• 1:01:13
  They want it. Yeah, we don't.
• 1:01:14
  The what does he say? Like the church is not a
• 1:01:16
  building. Yep, which is part of me.
• 1:01:19
  And I'm like, yeah, dude, which you make another building, so
• 1:01:23
  why? Whatever.
• 1:01:24
  But but his point, you know, it's interesting because it's
• 1:01:28
  not like, no, you're not going to keep us down.
• 1:01:30
  You're not going to. He's literally just like, OK,
• 1:01:33
  you want to do that, go ahead. We'll just go.
• 1:01:35
  We'll just go make another. Punch in the face and he just
• 1:01:37
  kind of. He does get punched in the face
• 1:01:38
  by the Dean, which fair enough, the because they put the Dean's
• 1:01:42
  name out there to try to like earn some like public opinion
• 1:01:45
  for the court case. And the Dean, like the next day
• 1:01:48
  his house gets a brick thrown through the window and he has
• 1:01:50
  like children and he's like that motherfucker.
• 1:01:53
  Hey, respect to the Dean. He's like I'm putting belts.
• 1:01:56
  Stood on this. Immediately, finally.
• 1:01:57
  Yeah, doesn't even give him a chance to talk.
• 1:01:59
  Just fish him in the house. Bam.
• 1:02:01
  Yeah, I wanted to see the brother, like, beat his, Yeah.
• 1:02:04
  Because he was being so whiny. Everybody's just so whiny.
• 1:02:08
  Wait, wait, wait. My life is so hard in in the
• 1:02:11
  whole time. Pastor Jude the Nigerian has to
• 1:02:15
  just be like, this is the funny, like Americans.
• 1:02:17
  Just Oh my gosh, you think these are problems?
• 1:02:20
  I mean, brother, he got his head cut off By who?
• 1:02:25
  Muslims. Everyone just whine whine whine
• 1:02:28
  for real. My my.
• 1:02:30
  You know what? And this movie also has one of
• 1:02:32
  one argument that I actually kind of was OK with between the
• 1:02:36
  brothers whenever 'cause, you know, Pastor Smith genuinely has
• 1:02:41
  a point. He's like, you abandoned me
• 1:02:42
  whenever mom and dad were sick. And he's like, well, all of you
• 1:02:44
  kind of abandoned me whenever I was having questions about my
• 1:02:46
  fate. And Reverend Smith is like, oh,
• 1:02:49
  your deep questions, like if God is good, why do bad things
• 1:02:52
  happen? And he's and literally you can
• 1:02:53
  see on the brother's face, he's like, that's a good question.
• 1:02:58
  Come on. I still wrestle with that.
• 1:02:59
  But what's crazy? And you know, for the guys, not
• 1:03:02
  dead people out there, if you have a good actor, you can it
• 1:03:08
  plays. It plays.
• 1:03:10
  Hey, thanks so much for listening to the pod.
• 1:03:12

• 1:03:25
  And now back to the podcast. Yeah, so and another good
• 1:03:29
  example. Brother doesn't just become a
• 1:03:31
  Christian at the end. Yep.
• 1:03:32
  I want to say at the end he is like, he has like his old Bible
• 1:03:35
  and he starts reading it a bit, but even still, there's never a
• 1:03:38
  point where he's like, you know what, Dave, you're right, Jesus
• 1:03:42
  Christ is my Lord and said there's no, there's nothing you
• 1:03:44
  don't cheesy like that. Never happened after a God's Not
• 1:03:46
  Dead movie. But.
• 1:03:47
  Any of them. No human being has ever gone to
• 1:03:50
  their search engine and typed in God's Not Dead, ending
• 1:03:53
  explained. Oh.
• 1:03:55
  No one has ever. It's just like.
• 1:03:57
  There's no mystery. Because there's a bunch of news
• 1:03:59
  anchors at the end. If you weren't, if you're too
• 1:04:01
  dense to somehow not get the point, there's about 50 billion
• 1:04:04
  news anchors Like, wow. So Pastor or Reverend Dave ended
• 1:04:09
  up sacrificing the building so that the lawsuit wouldn't go
• 1:04:13
  through and in a turn gained a following at his church and.
• 1:04:16
  Also, he forgave the kid who straight up murdered his friend,
• 1:04:20
  which pissed me off watching the movie.
• 1:04:22
  Hey, I get it. It was an accident.
• 1:04:25
  You killed that guy. You did.
• 1:04:26
  Which I Yeah. So the whole, like, like we said
• 1:04:29
  earlier, the kid throws the brick through the window.
• 1:04:31
  It's manslaughter or whatever. It's like whenever you, you
• 1:04:33
  know, hit somebody in your car, you didn't mean to kill him.
• 1:04:36
  But they still died. Jude's dead.
• 1:04:38
  I will say those the way they he died, the odds of that happening
• 1:04:42
  kind of crazy. Yeah.
• 1:04:43
  Maybe God was like Jude. I can't let you be like, this
• 1:04:46
  movie's bad. Maybe.
• 1:04:47
  Maybe out of here. Maybe Dave misunderstood the
• 1:04:50
  phrase and he was actually just saying like.
• 1:04:51
  Thank you. Thank you like.
• 1:04:52
  Oh my gosh, I get so tired of you white people.
• 1:04:55
  He's like, he just needs like I wish I could.
• 1:04:59
  Face I wish I could face real persecution finally.
• 1:05:04
  This is so terrible. Just killed him off.
• 1:05:07
  God's like. I'll spare you Pastor Jude and
• 1:05:09
  that that's the end of the movie.
• 1:05:10
  Then they just kind of like, hey, we're friends again and I'm
• 1:05:13
  going to start a new church somehow.
• 1:05:14
  Even the young Lib black kid protester is like, you know what
• 1:05:19
  you got to respect, pastor, I was there, which would not
• 1:05:22
  happen in Romans. No, none of those.
• 1:05:24
  Like it's not a black or white thing.
• 1:05:25
  But no, like Lib protester is like you got to respect.
• 1:05:29
  No, they only do that whenever somebody is like, who's that?
• 1:05:32
  Who's that guy? I've had so many people DM me to
• 1:05:35
  be like, can you make a video on James Talarico, that young white
• 1:05:38
  guy who's like God loves abortion and people are like,
• 1:05:41
  that's a real Christian. That's how people react to
• 1:05:43
  people like that. There'd be no super Lib
• 1:05:46
  protester who'd be like, you got to respect Dave for standing on
• 1:05:49
  bid. They'd be like that mother and
• 1:05:50
  you'd be like, OK, can they put that on threads and get 35,000
• 1:05:53
  likes? I've been getting into it on
• 1:05:56
  threads a little bit. Threads is the worst.
• 1:05:58
  One, I don't know why dead Internet.
• 1:06:00
  You know what else? You know what I will do though?
• 1:06:01
  I'll comment something and then I don't check the replies.
• 1:06:04
  I bet if I looked at my notifications right now on
• 1:06:06
  threads, you would see so many people.
• 1:06:08
  There was this girl who was like, I don't need your God to
• 1:06:11
  have like morality. I have my own morality.
• 1:06:13
  And I was like, wow, you just base your morality off what you
• 1:06:16
  want. That's terrifying.
• 1:06:17
  Yikes, so many people, like so many people being like you think
• 1:06:22
  you need gonna be a good person. I'm like I I turn off phone.
• 1:06:25
  Yeah, hey, have fun talking to nobody because I'm not
• 1:06:28
  responding. Yep.
• 1:06:29
  Nice. Anywho, so that's Guy's Not Dead
• 1:06:31
  3. Yep, the black people counter.
• 1:06:33
  There was a news anchor at the beginning that was black that
• 1:06:35
  had a speaking role. Very brief.
• 1:06:37
  Pastor Jude who they killed off. Black dude that's.
• 1:06:42
  Liberal atheist, by the way. There's a quick.
• 1:06:44
  There's a quick college party. The worst, like.
• 1:06:48
  Like generic rap music. That's what I wrote down.
• 1:06:51
  I wrote down. And they all have like generic
• 1:06:55
  red solo. Kind.
• 1:06:55
  It was literally I I wrote down rap music at a party.
• 1:06:59
  Bad things. Oh weird.
• 1:07:02
  Drinking alcohol. Yeah, that is part of it.
• 1:07:04
  The kid that threw the brick was like a little bit drunk.
• 1:07:07
  Yeah, Yeah. You know, I don't think I cried
• 1:07:09
  during this one. Thank God.
• 1:07:11
  Yeah, 'cause there was, even though this is my favorite one.
• 1:07:13
  I'll give this 1A for ranking it 2.55 out of five.
• 1:07:18
  I'm going to give it because I'm also trying to rate it in
• 1:07:21
  comparison to everything else. Yeah, I'll give it a three now.
• 1:07:26
  That is too generous. I'll be honest.
• 1:07:28
  That's very good. But.
• 1:07:29
  Like it's like on the spectrum of God's not dead, right?
• 1:07:32
  Right. Which even on their own
• 1:07:34
  spectrum, not good. Not good.
• 1:07:36
  You could put an hour long video of grass growing with fart
• 1:07:40
  noises kind of playing over the back and I would be like this is
• 1:07:44
  better than a lot of stuff I've watched this last week.
• 1:07:46
  Real spill. You could my, my parents
• 1:07:48
  sometimes will put on a live stream of like a bird feeder or
• 1:07:52
  like, or like they'll these things that seem like kind of
• 1:07:55
  fake, but I know they're real videos, but I think they're just
• 1:07:56
  staged. But it's like a bunch of like
• 1:07:58
  nuts and berries and stuff on like a tree stump and you just
• 1:08:01
  see like squirrels and other little rodents and then birds
• 1:08:04
  showing up. I'd watch that and I'd be way
• 1:08:06
  more fulfilled in life. I'd be like, wow, this is
• 1:08:08
  beautiful. Isn't God good?
• 1:08:10
  Isn't God all the time? All the.
• 1:08:13
  Time. Anyways, all right, on to the
• 1:08:17
  4th 1. Please God's not dead 4 What was
• 1:08:19
  the name for this one? We the people.
• 1:08:22
  This is whenever it gets, well, the third one, kind of two, but
• 1:08:25
  this one, it gets real political.
• 1:08:28
  Real political. Rotten Tomatoes Got a guess?
• 1:08:34
  I mean 7. 0 There was not one there.
• 1:08:40
  There weren't even enough. People did not even care enough.
• 1:08:43
  Critics didn't to review like. Did you get audience scores
• 1:08:46
  though? I didn't write them down, I just
• 1:08:48
  figured it was. Because I bet they were real
• 1:08:50
  high. It's just my grandma making
• 1:08:53
  more. Account This is the best
• 1:08:54
  question movie I've ever seen. God's Not Dead exclamation
• 1:08:57
  points. Yeah, zero.
• 1:08:59
  There was there was not one actual critic that had something
• 1:09:01
  good to say about this movie. Good And God's Not Dead 4 The
• 1:09:06
  first thing I wrote down. Of course they're freaking
• 1:09:10
  homeschooled. One of the things I think I
• 1:09:12
  mentioned, either off camera or on camera, one thing I do
• 1:09:15
  appreciate about this universe is the continuity.
• 1:09:17
  Yes, yeah. Yeah, either in the second or
• 1:09:19
  third movie, Pastor Dave refuses.
• 1:09:22
  It's in the second movie. He refuses to fill out a thing
• 1:09:25
  or like turn in the transcripts of all of his sermons over the
• 1:09:28
  last like 3 months because I guess it was it's like a mandate
• 1:09:33
  now by the law or like the which?
• 1:09:35
  The movie came out like after Texas, and I feel like Texas is
• 1:09:41
  just an example. Literally passed a law that was
• 1:09:44
  like, we're never going to require pastors to submit their
• 1:09:48
  sermon notes. So it's like we're painting this
• 1:09:50
  universe of like, look at what the US government's doing.
• 1:09:53
  And then it realized the government's like, hey, we're
• 1:09:56
  not going to do this. Correct.
• 1:09:59
  So the only thing I wanted to say was Dave does that.
• 1:10:01
  He doesn't fill it in. And the guy, it's funny, 'cause
• 1:10:04
  like, he walks in and the guy is such a slub.
• 1:10:07
  He's like, he's like eating so much food.
• 1:10:10
  And he's like, oh, you just put your shopper over there and he's
• 1:10:13
  like, OK, well, here it is, 'cause it's like some letter
• 1:10:16
  word that he filled out that was like, respectfully, no, Yeah.
• 1:10:18
  And the guy's like, that's it. That's all he summons for the
• 1:10:21
  last three or four months. He's like Philly cheese.
• 1:10:23
  I'm not doing it. And this fool like stands up and
• 1:10:25
  he's like, you want me to put the hammer down?
• 1:10:28
  Like literally something to that degree.
• 1:10:30
  He's like you. Really want to test me the
• 1:10:32
  least. And Dave is like, OK, I'm going
• 1:10:35
  to leave and he gets arrested. He gets arrested at the
• 1:10:38
  beginning, but that's at the beginning of the third one.
• 1:10:40
  So and that actually, that actually provides a lot more
• 1:10:43
  context. What we're talking about for
• 1:10:44
  controversy. That's part of the controversy
• 1:10:46
  is that he got arrested, which I liked that.
• 1:10:48
  I think that's another reason why I kind of like the third
• 1:10:50
  one. I was like, OK, there's actually
• 1:10:52
  a consequence for him just being like, I'm not going to do what
• 1:10:54
  the law tells me. And then he gets arrested
• 1:10:57
  because it doesn't matter anyway.
• 1:10:59
  So that carries into the 4th 1. And I only wanted to bring that
• 1:11:01
  up because in the fourth one, they reference a bunch of stuff
• 1:11:05
  from the other ones. And part of it is like this
• 1:11:06
  whole thing of like, persecution, yeah, persecution,
• 1:11:09
  but go ahead, persecuted. What is this movie about?
• 1:11:12
  So. God's Not Dead 4 We the People
• 1:11:14
  is about we're back at school. This time it's a homeschool
• 1:11:18
  Co-op that's run through Reverend Dave's church.
• 1:11:23
  We're basically like kids are just being homeschooled and he
• 1:11:25
  kind of pulls up sometimes and teaches kids about the Bible.
• 1:11:28
  Yes, English. And then someone from the big
• 1:11:32
  mean state government of Arkansas shows up some.
• 1:11:35
  Broad. Some broad shows up and it's
• 1:11:38
  like, not up to standards, like you got to put your kids in
• 1:11:42
  public school or else you're going to pay a fine and you're
• 1:11:45
  going to go to jail and your kids are going to die and you're
• 1:11:47
  going to get cancer. And that's just.
• 1:11:50
  We're going to hire the same person we hired to kill Jeffrey
• 1:11:51
  Epstein, and then we're going to kill your kids.
• 1:11:53
  Everyone's going to come die and everything you love is going to
• 1:11:55
  be. So it's this whole like,
• 1:11:57
  homeschool is a liberty and now this is like, whatever.
• 1:12:01
  And there was a moment where the woman was freaking out and she
• 1:12:06
  said something to a lady. She's like, I can't put my kids
• 1:12:09
  in public school. I forget her son's name.
• 1:12:11
  It's all say Jeffrey, since you just said Jeffrey Epstein.
• 1:12:14
  She's like, if I put little Jeffrey in a in a public school,
• 1:12:18
  they're going to identify that he's special needs and like put
• 1:12:22
  him in a specific class or whatever.
• 1:12:23
  And I was like, it sounds like your kid might be super autistic
• 1:12:28
  and you're not doing anything about.
• 1:12:29
  It it's so funny and this is not me making fun of people, but if
• 1:12:32
  they were like they're going to think he's whatever they cut you
• 1:12:34
  and Jeffrey were like, then she's like, there's nothing
• 1:12:39
  wrong with Jeffrey. She's like a she's like a
• 1:12:42
  terrible mom, which isn't the case.
• 1:12:44
  The kid is the kids just sitting there.
• 1:12:47
  And also, Josh, come on, man. He's like fighting for air.
• 1:12:55
  He's clear, he's fine. He's just clearly soiled
• 1:12:57
  himself. Help.
• 1:13:01
  Help help. Help.
• 1:13:03
  He's totally normal. She.
• 1:13:06
  Holds up a test score from one of his home schooled tests.
• 1:13:09
  He gets one hundreds on everything.
• 1:13:10
  It's not even filled in. It's just scribbles.
• 1:13:12
  Look at this. It's smeared with his own feces.
• 1:13:15
  She's like, I don't know why I don't want to be see, that's
• 1:13:19
  what I'm saying if more I don't know, these movies would be
• 1:13:22
  better if there's a little bit more nuance and there was
• 1:13:24
  actually some some genuinely crazy Christians.
• 1:13:26
  That's all I would say. Anywho she's.
• 1:13:28
  Like she's like they'll say special needs and it's like he
• 1:13:32
  might be special needs. They're OK.
• 1:13:35
  Yeah, seriously. But also, Jeffrey is like, low
• 1:13:38
  key clinically depressed. Yeah.
• 1:13:39
  Because he's got something going on.
• 1:13:41
  Well, isn't it in this one where that woman's husband.
• 1:13:45
  Because the whole time, Jeffrey, whenever she would go anywhere,
• 1:13:47
  he'd be like, are you going to come back?
• 1:13:49
  Because the dad. Dad died, Yeah.
• 1:13:50
  He was a vet or not well. Not a veteran, he was an Air
• 1:13:56
  Force. Air Force vet.
• 1:13:58
  He was like a serviceman, and he died in service.
• 1:14:00
  Yeah, but you thought he was a veterinarian.
• 1:14:02
  I did. I thought a horse kicked him in
• 1:14:03
  the head. It'd be a much funnier scene,
• 1:14:06
  but I didn't cry during this movie.
• 1:14:08
  But that. But part, there was a part where
• 1:14:10
  they brought that up, and that made me emotional.
• 1:14:11
  Yeah. Because it's like, no, his dad's
• 1:14:14
  dead, blah blah blah. Yeah.
• 1:14:17
  By the way, do you see how the enthusiasm has died off because
• 1:14:20
  you're watching these movies and all it is now is court cases,
• 1:14:24
  court case, court case paying to.
• 1:14:27
  A news anchor saying something to explain everything that just
• 1:14:29
  happened to the court case. Then back to past Reverend Dave
• 1:14:32
  just being like. Oh, what am I?
• 1:14:34
  Josh came back in the last one. We didn't even bring that.
• 1:14:36
  Up. Oh yeah, Josh came back.
• 1:14:36
  Josh came. Back you found it.
• 1:14:37
  And this is how we know there's been a decent amount of time
• 1:14:39
  that's passed because in the first one, Josh is a freshman
• 1:14:42
  and at this time he has, he didn't graduate college.
• 1:14:45
  He dropped out. He dropped out because he wanted
• 1:14:46
  to. Do like pastoral stuff.
• 1:14:48
  Nobody cared. It was just, Oh my.
• 1:14:50
  God, also, and like, like I said, talking about the first
• 1:14:53
  one, anytime he's not giving like a big speech, Josh kind of
• 1:14:56
  needs to shut up. He sucks because he's, he's
• 1:14:58
  just, he's just like, yeah, so that's what's going on.
• 1:15:02
  There was also a scene in the 4th 1 where the lady, I can't
• 1:15:05
  remember, she was testifying, but she's like, you know,
• 1:15:09
  Christians believe in science. People are acting like we're.
• 1:15:11
  Flat, that's right at the end it's so.
• 1:15:14
  And she says that and I was like, I'm not going to lie, I
• 1:15:17
  see a lot of flat earthers that are Christian on social.
• 1:15:20
  People got crosses in their BIOS and they're like, there's a
• 1:15:23
  Dome, there's an ice wall and you're like.
• 1:15:26
  I just, I kind of wrote like, I don't know, I was just kind of
• 1:15:28
  raising my hand like male. We we have a lot of people on
• 1:15:32
  our team that say that this. Movie.
• 1:15:33
  We also get introduced to a black guy who got fired from
• 1:15:36
  Grey's Anatomy. That guy who is a congressman,
• 1:15:39
  he, he kind of, he kind of. Acted his butt off a little.
• 1:15:41
  Bit Oh no, he was the best he was the best in this one and the
• 1:15:44
  next one he was crushing and he like again, he actually has
• 1:15:47
  charisma, which is interesting. Him and Dave meet up, I think
• 1:15:50
  it's in this one. They meet up at a restaurant or
• 1:15:52
  a bar and he, yeah, he's actually like charming and.
• 1:15:55
  He's like Idris Elba if he was Republican, kind of.
• 1:15:58
  So OK, I'm just gonna let that one go.
• 1:16:01
  I mean we, we have our interview with Idris, I just don't
• 1:16:03
  remember if. He's well, he got upset because
• 1:16:05
  you kept calling him. Idris the whole time.
• 1:16:06
  Was it Idris? How would you say it?
• 1:16:09
  Idris Elba. You say Idris or Idris?
• 1:16:12
  Oh, is it Idris? Idris I say Idris E, but it's.
• 1:16:15
  It's an I at the beginning. You see how that I actually say
• 1:16:18
  it like that every time, even though he's British.
• 1:16:20
  Really. Actually Idris Elba.
• 1:16:22
  Idris Elba. Idris.
• 1:16:23
  Sorry, Idris. Idris.
• 1:16:25

• 1:17:00
  You're. Crushing today.
• 1:17:01
  Thanks bro Crushing appreciate it feel.
• 1:17:04
  Like, I'm just, I'm sorry. I feel like I've been going off
• 1:17:08
  of it. No, you're literally.
• 1:17:09
  So the 4th one. Here's the other thing that
• 1:17:11
  sucks, and I praise the series for the the continuity, but
• 1:17:15
  literally the 4th 1 bleeds directly into the fifth one.
• 1:17:18
  Yeah, so they feel like, and even the third one, it feels
• 1:17:21
  like a big movie. Yes, but it's a big movie where
• 1:17:24
  nothing happens. Nothing.
• 1:17:27
  This movie, the 4th 1 sucks so hard and they kind of
• 1:17:30
  retroactively make it work a little bit in the fifth one.
• 1:17:33
  I'll give them that. But when at the end, keep in
• 1:17:36
  mind the the what is it the subtitle or whatever this movie
• 1:17:39
  is God's not dead, we the people.
• 1:17:42
  At the end of the movie, Pastor Dave is talking about all this
• 1:17:48
  stuff and there's a whole moment earlier on in the movie where
• 1:17:50
  he's talking to all these other homeschoolers who which I don't
• 1:17:53
  know if this is true, 75% of people who homeschool their
• 1:17:56
  kids, I don't know if they were saying they aren't religious or
• 1:17:59
  they just don't do it for religious reasons.
• 1:18:01
  I don't believe that. I don't know, I don't believe
• 1:18:03
  that, but maybe it's true. And that was an interesting
• 1:18:05
  statistic. But there's an Asian woman, by
• 1:18:07
  the way, that scene, they just get like all the minorities.
• 1:18:10
  Yep. They're like, let's get them
• 1:18:11
  all. And everybody will say a couple
• 1:18:13
  words, but an Asian woman is like, I'm the people, you're the
• 1:18:18
  people, We're the people. And Dave literally goes on this
• 1:18:22
  whole tangent and he's like winning.
• 1:18:25
  Oh, he's like, oh, you mother and whatever.
• 1:18:26
  And then he just looks in the camera and he's like, we, we the
• 1:18:30
  people. Boom, God's not dead.
• 1:18:33
  And that's the end of the movie. I wrote down for that scene
• 1:18:36
  empowering stand that my grandma would eat up.
• 1:18:39
  Oh, this would be like this is what in her own house?
• 1:18:45
  The things in her. Yes.
• 1:18:49
  Get them, Dave, get them. Your grandma liked the Marlboro.
• 1:18:53
  I love these movies. Line up the next one.
• 1:18:56
  Let's go. I have an aunt who won, who won
• 1:18:59
  years ago. We went out there for like a
• 1:19:02
  Christmas and we met up at, like a Cracker Barrel or something.
• 1:19:04
  Because they're trashy whites. I'm a trashy white.
• 1:19:06
  OK. Cracker Barrel's guess.
• 1:19:07
  Well, no, no, not Cracker Barrel.
• 1:19:09
  We met up at somewhere else. It wasn't a Cracker Barrel.
• 1:19:11
  Even better. No, I've never been to a Waffle
• 1:19:13
  House. We've talked about we're going
• 1:19:15
  to do, we're going to do a video about it.
• 1:19:17
  We're going to do a video where we all go to Waffle House.
• 1:19:19
  Anyway, Long story short, my aunt pulls up.
• 1:19:21
  My aunt's always been a bit of a character whenever I was a kid.
• 1:19:23
  One time she she flicked out a cigarette out of my ear and I
• 1:19:28
  don't think she would. Did your aunt work at Waffle
• 1:19:31
  House? No, she didn't.
• 1:19:32
  But maybe smoking cigarette? She pulls up, she pulls up.
• 1:19:35
  She's older, she's got a gas tank and we're all eating or
• 1:19:39
  whatever. She goes outside.
• 1:19:40
  I went outside with my dad and she's just smoking cigs.
• 1:19:44
  Tube in her nose. Gas tank right here was pretty
• 1:19:47
  good. That's so awesome.
• 1:19:48
  Imagine like having caring that little about the potential
• 1:19:52
  dangers of life. Like it's like, hey, you know
• 1:19:55
  what? You have a bomb at this point.
• 1:19:56
  You have a bomb you. Also have a bomb.
• 1:19:58
  I should have flicked my cigarette at her.
• 1:20:00
  I wasn't smoking. Yeah.
• 1:20:02
  Just get a cigarette. Can I have a cigarette?
• 1:20:03
  Hey can I have one of those just RIP the top?
• 1:20:05
  Like use whole tray, RIP the top of her thing, throw the letter
• 1:20:08
  in there, she blows up on the spot.
• 1:20:10
  But you would blow up too, see? No, not in my movie.
• 1:20:13
  I'm the main character in the God's Not Dead movie.
• 1:20:15
  God's not dead, but great. See, that's the other thing if
• 1:20:20
  the movie just got crazy like that anyway.
• 1:20:24
  This one sucks, the last two. Sucks.
• 1:20:26
  Dude, they're in court. The whole.
• 1:20:28
  Time. Oh my gosh.
• 1:20:29
  And it's so cheap. Yep.
• 1:20:31
  What can you look up? What's the budget of the 4th 1?
• 1:20:35
  What? It went down.
• 1:20:37
  It went down. Okay, clearly 1.5 million.
• 1:20:39
  Yeah. So they do a whole thing in the
• 1:20:41
  4th 1:00 where they're supposedly meeting up with
• 1:20:42
  Congress. Yeah well, it's supposed to be
• 1:20:44
  like a Supreme Court almost right?
• 1:20:46
  Or yeah. It's like a hearing.
• 1:20:48
  Something on C-SPAN like a town hall, it's so clearly there's no
• 1:20:54
  budget. They just put together some
• 1:20:56
  chairs. The courtroom scenes from like
• 1:20:58
  the second and third one look better.
• 1:21:00
  I think the third one, now that I'm thinking about it, the third
• 1:21:02
  one I think was the best shot because there's, there's more
• 1:21:05
  contrast or better, which is wild to me that it's whatever
• 1:21:11
  that it's rated lower. I think in this one especially,
• 1:21:15
  and they were, there were the seeds of it.
• 1:21:16
  And this one, in the fourth one they were, or in the fifth one,
• 1:21:18
  they were like, we're getting the conservatives.
• 1:21:21
  So are we on to the fifth one? They're the same movie, the 4th
• 1:21:24
  and the OK. What would you rate?
• 1:21:26
  But they're not. OK, what would I rate the 4th
• 1:21:28
  one? Yeah, .05 out of five.
• 1:21:31
  I'm going with what you shoot. Because it's somehow better than
• 1:21:35
  the second one in my opinion. I don't.
• 1:21:39
  Because it's got Christian Idris Elba.
• 1:21:41
  Who was the best actor in the second one?
• 1:21:42
  Did we go over that? No, but guess who's also in the
• 1:21:45
  4th 1? Michael Tate.
• 1:21:47
  Still there, dude. Michael Tate still there?
• 1:21:50
  Yeah. Hanging out.
• 1:21:51
  He's a Republican. Probably.
• 1:21:53
  Probably. Yeah.
• 1:21:55
  I guess I would give the. I'd give the 11 guess these last
• 1:21:59
  two I blitzed through them because I was like this is thank
• 1:22:02
  God, and I think I said that we've been recording for 4 1/2
• 1:22:04
  hours. So I said earlier they really
• 1:22:07
  got their act together and made the last three like 90 ish
• 1:22:09
  minutes. Thank God.
• 1:22:12
  If all of these movies were two hours, I would have texted you
• 1:22:14
  earlier this week and then like, we're done.
• 1:22:15
  Come up with something else. We're.
• 1:22:16
  Quitting the pod. By the way, next time we do
• 1:22:18
  this, and I think it'll probably just be the Mormon thing, Yeah,
• 1:22:21
  one movie, one movie. This is a bad idea.
• 1:22:23
  Yeah, because I did 5. What's the name of God?
• 1:22:25
  Also, real quick, Josh wanted this to be our first podcast.
• 1:22:27
  We did, I did. If we had done this for the
• 1:22:30
  first one, we wouldn't have even this many podcasts.
• 1:22:33
  I would've been like, we're doing something else.
• 1:22:35
  Big dog, we're doing it. This is it for us.
• 1:22:37
  Rotten Tomatoes. Take a swing.
• 1:22:39
  I'm going to say this one also zero.
• 1:22:40
  Zero yeah Yep 1st 5 seconds of the movie COVID jab Yep.
• 1:22:46
  Just not like literally news whatever world bad everything
• 1:22:51
  going to hell. COVID jab.
• 1:22:52
  COVID jab. Yep.
• 1:22:54
  Snuck it in there. I straight up don't know if we
• 1:22:56
  can even if it's still low key against YouTube for us to say
• 1:22:59
  COVID. COVID.
• 1:23:03
  J you can spell, but yeah, for sure.
• 1:23:06
  No, but it's just like a quick little thing.
• 1:23:08
  The whole movie doesn't become about that.
• 1:23:10
  But the whole thing is like, literally these last two movies
• 1:23:13
  are like, the government is trying to control you.
• 1:23:14
  Liberals. Bad liberals.
• 1:23:15
  Bad, which I know there will be people who are watching this who
• 1:23:17
  are like, well, they are. And hey, I'm right there with
• 1:23:20
  you. I don't like the government.
• 1:23:21
  There was a while, there was a while where I genuinely was
• 1:23:23
  like, I think I'm gonna like, I want to be an anarchist.
• 1:23:26
  Like, not even like, yeah, bring it down.
• 1:23:28
  But part of me was like, OK, what if we did?
• 1:23:30
  What if we did? What if we did?
• 1:23:31
  I mean, I don't want to make this whole thing political, but
• 1:23:34
  what if we burn this mother down?
• 1:23:37
  One thing I noticed about this movie, the women all of a sudden
• 1:23:41
  had a lot more work done like the the actresses that they
• 1:23:44
  chose. All of a sudden it was like
• 1:23:47
  which I'm a I'm a be straight up, no shame, no shame, lip
• 1:23:52
  filler, whatever, like the jaw surgery, but all of a.
• 1:23:54
  Sudden Nina had work done in the first one.
• 1:23:57
  Nina couldn't really close her mouth.
• 1:24:00
  Legit. Mina was like, yeah, well, that
• 1:24:02
  was part of the reason why she, like, couldn't act.
• 1:24:04
  She couldn't like, show any emotion because she was like
• 1:24:08
  Kevin Schwabeau, what are you even doing?
• 1:24:10
  What? Are you doing?
• 1:24:11
  You're you're Christian. You're you're, you're restarted.
• 1:24:15
  You're so restarted as a Christian and she's like spam
• 1:24:18
  stop it. By the way, going way back,
• 1:24:20
  whenever I said Mina sucks, she just ruins the dinner.
• 1:24:24
  She did make the dinner. All the time.
• 1:24:25
  She well, not, but not even like the whole like, you know what's
• 1:24:28
  so mean to me? They were forget all this for
• 1:24:30
  sure, for sure poison them straight up.
• 1:24:32
  But like, she she like messes up the wine, she messes up the
• 1:24:35
  dinner. Back to the fifth one.
• 1:24:36
  Back to the fifth one. Yes.
• 1:24:37
  I mean, these these last two movies are straight.
• 1:24:41
  I don't know how else to say it. Conservative corn.
• 1:24:43
  Well. Here's how let let's go ahead
• 1:24:45
  and tell you what happens in this one.
• 1:24:47
  So Reverend Dave, right on the tail of the fourth one,
• 1:24:51
  everyone's like, oh, hey, this, this reverend's got to the
• 1:24:54
  preachers got, you know, a lot of moxie for political whatever.
• 1:24:57
  Black guy from Grey's Anatomy who got fired for being a rude
• 1:25:00
  guy. In Grey's Anatomy.
• 1:25:01
  Loved the speech that Dave gave at the end of the fourth movie.
• 1:25:04
  And he goes, Let's make that guy a politician.
• 1:25:07
  Yep. And so he's against his will.
• 1:25:09
  And he's running against the snake from the second movie.
• 1:25:13
  That said, we're going to finally prove that God's finally
• 1:25:17
  dead or whatever now. He's a politician.
• 1:25:20
  He's worked his way up the chain from being like an attorney to
• 1:25:23
  being or whatever. And now they're both Are they
• 1:25:25
  running for governor? I think just like Senate.
• 1:25:27
  Oh, OK, just like Congress, whatever.
• 1:25:30
  So Dave gets thrown into the race because conveniently the
• 1:25:32
  Republican incumbent dies and they're like, oh, we got to find
• 1:25:37
  someone. Our best option is this Reverend
• 1:25:39
  that. Six weeks out.
• 1:25:40
  Minutes. Yeah.
• 1:25:41
  And so they're like, oh, boy, we're going to call in the
• 1:25:44
  A-Team. And it's this woman that has
• 1:25:47
  apparently had a failed career as like, a political manager,
• 1:25:49
  this white woman like, hey, we know you're hanging with your
• 1:25:52
  son right now. Series loves single moms, by the
• 1:25:54
  way. She's a single mom.
• 1:25:56
  Where's your husband? She's a single mom.
• 1:25:58
  Like, where's her husbands? Like, come on.
• 1:26:00
  Well, you know, you know the thing of this one.
• 1:26:02
  Well, I know that she's a single one, but I'm just saying like
• 1:26:04
  where the husband's at. Like why are we?
• 1:26:05
  Why can't we have husbands that are?
• 1:26:06
  No, for real with not being, but even in this movie, well, her
• 1:26:09
  husband, I'm not her husband. The father of the child is
• 1:26:12
  technically in the movie, he's the assistant of the devil.
• 1:26:15
  But then there's like the crackhead or whatever she was
• 1:26:18
  supposed to be. She's a single mom, The single
• 1:26:21
  mom from the last one whose husband got kicked in the head
• 1:26:25
  by a horse or whatever he did. I thought for a second, in this
• 1:26:27
  one, yeah, it's this one that Mina, not Mina, Aisha gets hit
• 1:26:32
  in her car, right? Yeah.
• 1:26:34
  I thought for a second her and Martin were going to, like, have
• 1:26:37
  a thing. I was like.
• 1:26:38
  Hey, it's either in the 4th or the 5th. 1:00 because there's
• 1:26:41
  also a really. Did I cry during that?
• 1:26:45
  There is a genuinely moving thing.
• 1:26:47
  With her dad. With her dad and the kid.
• 1:26:49
  Oh, it's in the 4th 1:00 because it's with the autistic kid and
• 1:26:53
  who is just who just like wanders off alone.
• 1:26:57
  Yeah. He's like, there was part of me
• 1:26:59
  that was like, is this supposed to be God?
• 1:27:03
  Is God supposed to be like just manifesting in some weird way?
• 1:27:06
  But no, it's the autistic kid and he just walks up to him and
• 1:27:09
  he's like, just gives him a hug. There's also a weird thing where
• 1:27:12
  where Aisha's dad is like, I think in a better movie, he'd be
• 1:27:17
  yelling at a crucified Christ like an image of the crucifixion
• 1:27:22
  because he's like, you're supposed to be so good and
• 1:27:24
  you're supposed to do and then the camera cuts and it's almost
• 1:27:26
  like a comedy get it's an empty cross.
• 1:27:29
  So he's just talking to a cross. They couldn't find.
• 1:27:32
  They couldn't. No, no.
• 1:27:33
  Catholic Church was like, or just whatever high church,
• 1:27:36
  whatever was like, you're not filming it.
• 1:27:38
  Yeah. So they found this like they had
• 1:27:39
  to like put together this crummy altar with like with like wood.
• 1:27:43
  The cross is made out of wood from like a, a, a cheap chair.
• 1:27:48
  That's how bad it is. And he's like, you're supposed
• 1:27:50
  to be all good. And my daughter is in a it's in
• 1:27:54
  a bed right now, which by the way, Mina should have died.
• 1:27:57
  She should have died. She gets T boned by an 18
• 1:27:59
  Wheeler. The next time we see her, she
• 1:28:00
  has a couple of cuts. She's like PP.
• 1:28:04
  Where am I? Papa, are you a Christian?
• 1:28:07
  Yet like fun and help. Papa, I see Jesus.
• 1:28:10
  I go to heaven. Oh no, that would have been so
• 1:28:14
  funny. In her last moments, Aisha had
• 1:28:18
  poor theology. So she's like, she's like Jesus
• 1:28:21
  and the Father are the yeah, she's the same person.
• 1:28:25
  She just goes straight to hell. Father, I'm going to.
• 1:28:29
  I'm dead. I.
• 1:28:30
  Saw the devil. I'm dying to go see Art.
• 1:28:33
  Art. What is Armenian God?
• 1:28:35
  In which they're all completely separate?
• 1:28:37
  Yeah. I'm a polytheist, actually.
• 1:28:41
  Oh no, my daughter. And then she comes back to life.
• 1:28:45
  Yeah, she does. Papa, I was in hell.
• 1:28:47
  You know who was there? Muhammad.
• 1:28:50
  And he's like, baby, don't say that.
• 1:28:53
  And that's that's the yeah, icon's not dead.
• 1:28:56
  He's surely alive. Yeah.
• 1:29:01
  So yeah, it's just politically running against each other.
• 1:29:05
  Super Republican. So like, it's not even like I
• 1:29:09
  wrote in this one again, WTF is going on?
• 1:29:11
  Because it's not even like there's no mentions of God
• 1:29:14
  really. It's just like, yeah, it kind of
• 1:29:16
  like. There's no mentions of God, but
• 1:29:17
  also there's just mentions of him talking about God too much.
• 1:29:20
  Yeah. Which it's like it's.
• 1:29:22
  Literally. Who do you think he is?
• 1:29:25
  He's a reverend who the only reason you got him was for being
• 1:29:28
  mad Christian. And then the woman you bring in
• 1:29:32
  is like, talk about God less. It's like, do you even know your
• 1:29:34
  base? Who do you want?
• 1:29:36
  Right? What are we doing?
• 1:29:37
  And then again, actually charming guy, the black guy
• 1:29:40
  comes in and he has this whole speech about like so many
• 1:29:42
  millions of Christians don't even vote and blah, blah.
• 1:29:45
  And I'm like, you think Dave is the guy who's going to reignite
• 1:29:47
  those people? Well, I mean, but it's like he's
• 1:29:49
  saying that and kind of looks at the camera like.
• 1:29:54
  Yeah. Do you like these libs?
• 1:29:56
  That's what I thought. That's.
• 1:29:57
  Why you should vote for Donald Trump?
• 1:29:58
  Because I think this came out right before.
• 1:29:59
  You should. You should yell at women on set
• 1:30:01
  so that they fire you. That's what he did on Grey's
• 1:30:04
  Anatomy. Dave's Anatomy.
• 1:30:06
  Dave. 'S new spin off that's.
• 1:30:11
  That's the porno version of Gaza Dead.
• 1:30:12
  It's Dave's anatomy. Look, I'm sorry.
• 1:30:17
  I. Was going to say I just pictured
• 1:30:18
  like a spin off series where somehow someone sees a clip of
• 1:30:21
  him talking about like Medicare and health insurance as a
• 1:30:24
  politician and they're like our doctor just died dude his.
• 1:30:28
  Pastor even better, he does a faith healing and then all of a
• 1:30:31
  sudden he cut to 30 minutes later, he's like doing an open
• 1:30:33
  heart surgery. He's like she's a big light from
• 1:30:37
  Jesus and then God comes from behind him and grabs his hands,
• 1:30:41
  botches the surgery. It's completely.
• 1:30:43
  I wanted to see him, bring him up.
• 1:30:45
  Yeah, yeah. Bring him up.
• 1:30:46
  Yeah. So stab it.
• 1:30:47
  Stab it. He's like, I don't know about
• 1:30:49
  that, actually. Stab the whole Yeah, all right,
• 1:30:51
  go. It's just political over and
• 1:30:54
  over and they're just debating. And then once his face comes
• 1:30:58
  back in, the bad businessman from the.
• 1:30:59
  First one, Dean Kane. Dean Kane comes back and he
• 1:31:02
  actually funds Dave's like what would it be campaign but then
• 1:31:07
  also kind of screws him later on.
• 1:31:09
  Because he takes the bait for this fake.
• 1:31:12
  That's so clearly fake, which by the way, they're not doing like
• 1:31:15
  it's not CIA levels of stuff, but his, his manager meets with
• 1:31:20
  this girl in like a laundromat and she's got like her hood up
• 1:31:24
  and she's like, I found some dirt on the guy who played the
• 1:31:26
  devil and Reaper. And but I'm not even going to
• 1:31:29
  lie to you. It kind of came out of nowhere.
• 1:31:31
  And I think it's really sketchy. And the other girl's like, shut
• 1:31:34
  up, you dumb. I'm going to go, I'm going to
• 1:31:38
  go. I'm going to ruin this guy.
• 1:31:42
  I'm not going to listen to you clearly telling me this isn't.
• 1:31:46
  Good. I'm telling you his campaign
• 1:31:49
  paid me to to bring this to you. I'm confessing that shut.
• 1:31:52
  Up gosh, I don't care. Shut up.
• 1:31:54
  I want to win. You're not going to win the
• 1:31:56
  like, this will be bad for you, whatever.
• 1:31:58
  So she goes and does it, but she doesn't do it, Which I thought
• 1:32:01
  that was the thing. I was like, oh, she just went
• 1:32:03
  and did it behind Dave's back. Solid twist that Dean Cain did
• 1:32:06
  it, but sure. Yeah.
• 1:32:09
  But here's the thing. Also major spoiler for the for
• 1:32:11
  the movie they win again. Whoa.
• 1:32:14
  The only one where they kind of didn't win was the third one.
• 1:32:16
  The best 1, he just wins. He becomes governor or Senate or
• 1:32:21
  whatever, which also made me think.
• 1:32:24
  So this whole time he's focused. Who's pastoring the church has
• 1:32:27
  just been Martin. Hello.
• 1:32:31
  Today we're talking about Jesus, which that's how it ends, right?
• 1:32:35
  Isn't that part of it? Yeah.
• 1:32:36
  Martin's doing like a sermon. Yep.
• 1:32:37
  And he opens like the come on, dude, I want to go to a Korean
• 1:32:43
  church. So.
• 1:32:43
  Oh my gosh, let me say Korean Jesus.
• 1:32:47
  Yeah. And then like, he opens the
• 1:32:49
  women's shelter again that somehow like, devil guy like
• 1:32:54
  took funding away from. Yeah, he's like, I'll give it
• 1:32:56
  all back. And it's like, what power do you
• 1:32:58
  have? How did you do that?
• 1:32:59
  You you're running for this. Also, this is state level
• 1:33:03
  politics you took. There's probably a decent bit of
• 1:33:05
  money or like bad stuff in that, but still.
• 1:33:08
  You took money away from like a single mom shelter to like.
• 1:33:10
  Also, I just want to say this. I think the government's bad.
• 1:33:13
  I think the government doesn't like Christianity.
• 1:33:15
  I think all that stuff. You know what, though?
• 1:33:17
  Also these movies. Suck these movies.
• 1:33:19
  Suck these. Movies are really bad.
• 1:33:20
  These movies you could potentially like construe or or
• 1:33:24
  or show that meaning and message in a good movie.
• 1:33:27
  But also these movies are probably just money laundering
• 1:33:29
  scheme so I'm not expecting them to do much.
• 1:33:31
  And that's true, Yeah, these movies.
• 1:33:33
  Hit me up, I'll do script. We'll do script work for the
• 1:33:35
  next one though for real guys. We'll make the God's Not Dead.
• 1:33:37
  I guess since the 6th is already underway, it would have to be
• 1:33:40
  God's Not Dead 7. We'll make God's Not Dead 7 the
• 1:33:43
  best one. I think you've really
• 1:33:45
  overestimate their cut offs for like script revisions.
• 1:33:48
  I think we could show up on on set and be like we're give me
• 1:33:52
  give me the paper and I think you would get paper and like the
• 1:33:55
  whole script need to be it's it's.
• 1:33:57
  Cry on. Yeah, there's.
• 1:33:58
  Like 9 words on the IT just says they talk about Jesus.
• 1:34:01
  Are we? What are we doing?
• 1:34:02
  Quotations. God is finally dead.
• 1:34:04
  Yeah, and it just says, Pastor Dave is so cool.
• 1:34:07
  And it's like, OK, by the way, you know who else is bleaching
• 1:34:10
  your hair, Dave? You know who else is really cool
• 1:34:11
  in the fifth one? Who?
• 1:34:13
  Michael Tate. He's a bag of game.
• 1:34:15
  Michael Tate, Which? Is wild 2024 this came out.
• 1:34:18
  This is really getting close. How do you think whatever his
• 1:34:22
  name's AR15 White really regret? That is genuinely a great name.
• 1:34:27
  That is, that's a great nickname.
• 1:34:28
  AR15, White. Well, there's there's a there's
• 1:34:30
  a quarterback in the NFL, Anthony Richardson, AR15.
• 1:34:33
  I don't. Care about that at all?
• 1:34:35
  Sports sports Sports Sports type B Sports type B Sports ball.
• 1:34:41
  Do they throw the football in the basket?
• 1:34:43
  Oh, you got too many runs and now they have to go play hockey
• 1:34:46
  again. Is he is he hanging himself?
• 1:34:53
  Is he? Oh, he hung himself.
• 1:35:00
  See end of God's Not Dead 6. Should we just It's a 5 minute
• 1:35:04
  long scene of me Googling how to make a noose and then I make it.
• 1:35:07
  I have to find a really, really strong beam.
• 1:35:09
  God's not Dead 6 or is he? I think that would be a good
• 1:35:14
  title is. He.
• 1:35:17
  Crazy long title. God's not dead.
• 1:35:19
  Or is he just kidding? He's not.
• 1:35:22
  Welcome back, Reverend Jude. Yeah, welcome back.
• 1:35:25
  Hey, bring him back. And then it.
• 1:35:27
  And then it's like a letter. Sincerely, M Tate.
• 1:35:31
  That's the title of the movie. I'd watch that one.
• 1:35:34
  I would watch that one. We would do.
• 1:35:35
  Here's the thing. This sucks and this sucked.
• 1:35:39
  What would real quick before I say my other thing, what would
• 1:35:42
  you give this movie? Because by the way, I know as
• 1:35:44
  these movies have gone on, we've given less and less.
• 1:35:46
  There's less and less. It's so bad .069 out of five.
• 1:35:53
  Nice. That's actually so sick.
• 1:35:55
  That's actually really sick, like sexual, like sensible
• 1:35:57
  stuff. I mean, everything's been so
• 1:35:59
  asexual up into. This everything is so.
• 1:36:01
  And that's the thing. You can't even call it gay.
• 1:36:03
  Because it's just like no one. It's like a it's.
• 1:36:05
  Sex does not exist. In it's beige paint.
• 1:36:07
  And I'm not saying you gotta have a sex scene, but like,
• 1:36:09
  husbands and wives just kind of shuffle together and they're
• 1:36:11
  like not touching. Nobody holds hands.
• 1:36:13
  Nobody hold hands like, not even a.
• 1:36:15
  Gosh, dude, come on dude, you ever go into a hotel and the
• 1:36:18
  wall is like that popcorn beige? Yep, that's these movies.
• 1:36:21
  Yes. Sexually.
• 1:36:23
  Yep. Anyway, I don't know, like a .5
• 1:36:27
  this movie sucks, dude. I hate it so much.
• 1:36:30
  I was watching it on my phone. It like I was on my phone.
• 1:36:33
  I'm like, right. Oh, did they win great.
• 1:36:37
  The end movie whenever. Oh my gosh, it pissed me off so
• 1:36:40
  much. I have to go whenever they're
• 1:36:42
  doing their final debate. Yeah and Dave has his big
• 1:36:45
  moment. He literally put puts his hand
• 1:36:47
  on the Bible and he's like he takes he unscrews and unclips
• 1:36:54
  the mic from the thing starts walking around and he's like,
• 1:36:57
  here's what you don't get Devil guy from Reaper finish the rest
• 1:37:02
  of that bar because he because the guy is saying like.
• 1:37:05
  We hold these truths to be self-evident.
• 1:37:08
  Finish. It I've I've said too many bad
• 1:37:10
  words and I don't want to continue it, finish it, finish
• 1:37:12
  it, boy, finish that and he's like, yeah, you can.
• 1:37:16
  Literally the devil guy is like, that's ridiculous.
• 1:37:19
  That's what I do and he's like that all whatever.
• 1:37:23
  I don't know. The men are created or given
• 1:37:25
  certainly inalienable rights by our Creator.
• 1:37:28
  Yeah, something like that. And he's like, what's up?
• 1:37:31
  And then the everybody in the crowd is like, kill him.
• 1:37:33
  Yeah, literally. Dave says the most mediocre milk
• 1:37:38
  toast things and people are like, and it all comes back to
• 1:37:44
  whenever Josh is having his debate, not you, but the other
• 1:37:47
  one, Joe, you kind of look a little bit, well, you guys be
• 1:37:50
  cousins, probably. Yeah.
• 1:37:51
  He's not like the 13 Reasons why kid.
• 1:37:53
  There's not that. He does kind of look like a
• 1:37:54
  little bit though. Yeah, but it's kind of like.
• 1:37:57
  He's like the evolved. Either you or the 13 Reasons why
• 1:38:00
  kid were the the like the original and everybody else is a
• 1:38:03
  succeeding clone. Josh, how It looks like I don't
• 1:38:07
  know the actual actor's name. A clone of you who was a clone
• 1:38:10
  of the other guy. Interesting.
• 1:38:11
  Anywho, I forget what I was saying.
• 1:38:13
  These movies suck. I hate them.
• 1:38:14
  They suck. Gosh, the third one's the best.
• 1:38:18
  Yeah, but you really you shouldn't watch any of.
• 1:38:20
  Them don't watch these movies, but I will say whenever that 6th
• 1:38:22
  1 comes out, you know, we have to do this again.
• 1:38:24
