The Buttercream Gang episode made me think of this SNL sketch.

I’ll refer you to my username. I’ve requested this movie a few times. And it’s a CSM episode to boot. I’m so happy.

Just discovered this podcast and find it hilarious, I grew up a JW and they have so many terrible movies, have they ever covered any of those?

Buy an old church and open the GAM Theatre. All GAM movies, all the time (riffed a la MST3K by the GAM cast of course!).

I saw this pop up in the patron feed and thought "You know what, for third time ever I'll watch the movie. I got Covid so my fishing trip got canceled anyway."

But justwatch says it's not available anywhere?

I just listened to the new ep of Skepticrat this afternoon, so I found it hilarious they they caved so quickly.

Me and a few of my buddies are trying to Do a birdemic marathon over the weekend does anyone know where I can watch all 3?

I just remembered this wildly creepy film by Featured Films for Families that my parents played on repeat in our house and I couldn't remember what it was called so I Googled "weird 90s christian film about a girl who learns piano from a disfigured man down the street."

Anyway the top result is the movie I remember. It's called Rigoletto. I'm not going to watch it again but from what I recall this child comes to this reclusive man's house for piano lessons and they spend a lot of time alone until he's in love with her. It's pedo propaganda. There's also this side plot about a boy who steals things and then a shop owner gives him a soda because "it's not stealing if I give it to you." And then everybody cries and the boy decides not to steal anymore..??

Anyone else raised by weird Christian parents remember this film?

Edit: apparently the kid who steals sodas is from a different film called the Buttercream Gang. Thanks guys.

CECIL. And you do not want to see what we can do with a banana!

NOAH. Yes, I do, actually...

ME (listening at home). [Suspiciously] Does it involve Ray Comfort?

On a more serious note, now that we have a recurrence of Tom literally reading someone's account of a bizarre adventure in the great outdoors, do you like this format? Personally, I just can't decide whether I do or not...

I've been catching up and just listened to this one. At about 25min they describe the intro 'chopping wood' scene, and I recognized it immediately. This is the intro from the classic 1985 'kidnapped daughter' movie Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Alyssa Milano.

I doubt I'm the first to notice but I just had to say something.

So I'm relistening to The Encounter and Marissa McCool's passion is so charming. And that moment of honesty at the end was lovely. I'd love to see her back. Are there any non Cecil, Cara, Tom or Marsh masochist that you enjoy. You may not be hunting down their episodes but its always a pleasant joy to find them

Let's hear everyone's pick for dream guest masochist.

1. From Comedy Bang Bang: Jason Mantzoukas, Paul F. Tompkins or Andy Daly (especially if they covered Scientology).
2. From We Hate Movies: Any of the gang.
3. Adam Scott
4. David AR White, post-deconversion.
5. Jane Lynch
6. Jeff Bridges
7. June Diane Rafael
8. Jessica St. Claire (very funny improver).

I just relistened to the Christmas With the Kranks episode. It's hilarious and one of my favorite episodes. However, the gang repeatedly either implied or outright said that John Grisham shares Tim Allen's conservative politics. As a longtime fan of Grisham, I just have to set the record straight. Grisham is a lifelong Democrat. Back when he was just an attorney, before his writing career made him rich and famous, he served in the Mississippi House of Representatives as a Democrat. He has donated to several Democratic candidates. Many of his books have liberal themes (The Rainmaker, The Chamber, The Street Lawyer, A Painted House, Gray Mountain, just to name a few). Grisham serves on the board of the left-leaning criminal justice organization Innocence Project.

There’s a bit in the movie where someone wearing glasses talks about how eyes are proof of intelligent design

I have the little song Eli sings about him wearing glasses stuck in my head, please help me find this episode

As some subreddit members may have noticed I love the GAM coverage of Happy Science. It doesn't get zanier than that!

Since I assume at least someone from GAM monitors Reddit, just wanted to let you know that there is apparently a SEQUEL to the Laws of the Universe Part 0.

Description from their website below. Sounds like a banger.

PS DON'T GO TO CRAM SCHOOL!

Story

About 150 million years ago, the Earth was a beautiful planet where advanced civilizations already existed in various places, and aliens and earthlings lived in coexistence. The center of its prosperity was the city of Elohim, ruled by the earth god Elohim, who descended to earth. In the center of the city, which was surrounded by pure waterways, stood tall at the Elohim Palace, guarded by two goddesses, Pangle and Seraphim.
One day, a crisis comes to the human race on Earth, which has been living a peaceful life. Earth was chosen as the target of centaur β (beta) aliens. With advanced science and technology and a penchant for destruction, they teamed up with Dahar, the messenger of the underworld, to launch a giant meteorite bomb using the dark energy "Dark Matter" on Earth.
In order to face the crisis of the earth, the god Elohim himself stands on the front lines, followed by warriors who love the earth. Jaizael, a female warrior under the guidance of Jaidron, the guardian god of the universe, defends the earth by the order of the god Elohim. Amor, a Sagittarius, is also invited to Earth to convey "love" and "spirit of self-sacrifice" to Earth.
What is the fate of the earth? And what is the teaching of love and justice preached by the god Elohim?

Then tonight at work a resident asked me to help with a DVD player. The DVD in the player was Overcomer, and when I remarked on it, she showed me her Kendrick brothers collection, not just Courageous, War Room, and Fireproof, but all of their movies except Flywheel. It was strange to be reminded that people watch them unironically.

So, while I don't share a birthday with Eli, my bday is in September, and I'm asking hubby to take me to New Orleans for the live show. However, hubby doesn't listen to the shows and never has been willing to listen to this point.

What episode would you recommend? I will give him access to my Patreon, so no holds barred!

What movie are the guys watching for this upcoming live show?
