94 - God’s Not Dead (feat. Greg Foster)
Added 2023-07-05 20:40:00 +0000 UTCGreg Foster (@dadshammdad) from Brigham Young Money challenges Brian and Josh to construct and deliver a classroom rebuttal to the film that launched at least a thousand holy text messages: God’s Not Dead (2014). Topics include the ethics of duck consumption, the parallels between Mormon and evangelical Christian culture, and the status of higher education in the state of Louisiana.

2023-07-11 18:32:51 +0000 UTCGods Not Dead 3 is just sort of boring but I think the second one is really good too. It depends on how funny you find their childish interpretation of the law and how entertaining you find Ray Wise playing satan in the form of an ACLU lawyer.

2023-07-10 18:15:23 +0000 UTCMy first thought when you played the audio clip of Kevin Sorbo assaulting Shane Harper: https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Jeffrey%20Radisson*s*Josh%20Wheaton/works (You’re welcome. No I haven’t actually read any of these. Though also any of these would probably be better acted.)

2023-07-07 16:52:06 +0000 UTCThis is the third pod I've heard this movie discussed. Evangelicalish find it super triggering and embarrassing since all of them were in the Evangelical community when it came out. Will of 'Micheal and Us' didn't grow up religous and was able to enjoy it as a hilarious look into the reactionary minds of American christians. It's funny to hear people's varied reactions to God's Not Dead based on the amount of religous trama they have and their history with the film

2023-07-07 02:35:23 +0000 UTCGND (or more specifically stumbling upon a trailer for GND2 that dropped on April 1 and wondering if it was an actual April fool's joke) was my way into a weird bile fascination with evangelical media, so this is like coming full circle. And yeah, after getting to know some more of it to compare with, it and other Pureflix movies are truly the Blighttown tier. I remembered most of the plot and was still taken aback at being reminded of some details. Wonderful discussion. Signed /// I'm cool Voltaire

2023-07-06 16:59:51 +0000 UTCWow, that was definitely the very same commercial man from before and I certainly don't have any questions about his identity and it's actually weird that I'm just bringing this up for no reason.

2023-07-06 15:52:37 +0000 UTCMaybe it's because I'm from the Kendrick Brothers area but I feel this movie had more hype than Passion of the Christ did.
