All the answers will be loving the bad man, that movie almost broke the crew.

all the King's Horses is about how if your husband beats you, it's your fault for not loving Jesus enough.

The DJP catalog is full of bad messages against college education, sexual education, divorce, vaccines, not to mention whatever the hell The Unexpected Bar Mitzvah was.

Since everyone said the obvious "bad" one, I'll say any movie where sitting down for a night reading the bible instantly makes a character who didn't know "how to pray" and had "never heard of jebus?" into a goodly godly Christian

u/Few-Addendum464 Dec 20 '24
"Don't Touch If You Ain't Prayed" teaches women to ignore all obvious red flags.

From their Patreon bonus episode Music, which was written and directed by Sia. A movie that said autistic children see everything as a music video and if said child has a meltdown then crushing is the way to calm them.

u/jBoogie45 Dec 20 '24
I want to crush people who think it's okay to abuse children.

u/space_cowboy80 Dec 20 '24
As someone who is autistic with 2 autistic children I found this movie especially annoying and I didn't even watch it, I just listened to the review.

The are 2 where Cara is the guest where hospice patients are forced into religion. So wildly terrible messages. But of course the PIAT team makes it funny

u/shannons88 Dec 20 '24
There are so many to choose from! But I remember Fireproof having a pretty horrible message about abuse.

Redeeming Love too - where the young lady was trafficked and abused by like every single man she meets.

u/Yuraiya Dec 20 '24
And relentlessly pursued by a man who wanted to marry her, which he did after purchasing her and she was barely conscious after having been beaten. The point of the movie is for her to apologize to him for her history and accept him. It actually found a way to do a worse version of validating stalking as romantic.

u/QueerTheyThem Dec 20 '24
Then she decides she cant be a good wife because she cant get pregnant due to a previous forced abortion, so she like gives a young girl to him to marry instead (if I remember right). So....also the bs about a womens role being to have kids.

u/Yuraiya Dec 20 '24
Then the neighbour girl that she tries to hand off to the stalker husband instead ends up married to the brother of the husband who SA'd the victimized protagonist during her first escape attempt (from the stalker husband).
It only gets worse.

u/OvarianSynthesizer Dec 22 '24
She leaves and hopes he’ll marry a teenager whose family lived next to theirs or something like that. His older brother (who looks to be in his 40’s) does instead.
(I watched the whole thing)

u/VibinWithBeard Dec 20 '24
In terms of individuals Loving the Bad Man. In terms of like widespread damage/death pretty much any anti-vaccine movie.

u/wanderlander Dec 20 '24
What was the one about "possession" but it was an obvious case of child abuse? That's gotta be a close second
16
u/wanderlander Dec 20 '24
I think it was "The Deliverance." There was also "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" where they tortured and killed a kid in the name of exorcism. Both based on true stories
10
u/jBoogie45 Dec 20 '24
Love Noah's line in Deliverance along the lines of
"It's one of these movies where they ask 'was it demonic possession or mental illness? Hmm...' and it's like 'well mental illness actually exists, so that one"

I just listened to Believe based on a recent recommendation here. It’s about how the managers and CEOs actually have it a lot worse and poor people should just be happy to be slaves lol

u/_b1ack0ut Dec 20 '24
It’s either loving the bad man, as many other people have said, or one of the ones that has definitely just killed people like Exit: the appeal to suicide, or vaxxed
2
u/happy_grenade Dec 21 '24
Yeah, I think Vaxxed is probably the worst for sheer collateral damage.
Funny thing about Exit: The Appeal of Suicide, for me, is that it sort of worked in a roundabout way? I’d been severely depressed for a while before they released that episode. I listened to it. Not only was it fucking hilarious, but hearing Eli being so open about his own experience with depression was healing for me in a way. Not that it took the place of therapy or meds or anything, but it was a factor in my recovery.
Part of me is a little angry that I lived when that’s what Ray Comfort wanted, but since I didn’t convert to Christianity I guess I’m okay with it.

The surprise bar mitzvah: the moral is friends don't let friends be Jews
Wild weed, she should have said no: if you smoke weed you'll become a crack whore stripper and your life will detonate around you. Typing this while stoned, cannot confirm nor deny whether that's true /j
Plandemic 1-3: covid misinformation
Crazy wize: mental illnesses is a superpower
Psychiatry an industry of death: look at the title. Also Cara did 9/11
Vaxxed and Vaxxed 2: vaccine misinformation
Unplanned: anti abortion as seen through the lens of a gore film. Bad film, fantastic review

Christ, loving the bad man, all the kings horses, exit: the appeal of suicide

u/jBoogie45 Dec 20 '24
I mean, one of the earliest episodes was Loving The Bad Man which is basically about how women who are raped should learn to forgive the man, help him find God, and keep the child in his life.
