68 - Left Behind The Movie 2000
Added 2023-01-04 07:00:03 +0000 UTCThe lads start 2023 off right by hopping aboard an adulterous plane and flying straight into the Rapture as they cover the disastrous Kirk Cameron vehicle: Left Behind: The Movie (2000).
Topics include the origins of the Tribulation, the clientele of leather bars, and the surprising endurance of the concept that, one day, the Lord will strike Christians nude and yeet them into Heaven.

2023-01-09 02:13:34 +0000 UTCJust by describing the plot everyone colectively sounded like they were having a psychotic break. (But in a wonderfully entertaining manner.)

2023-01-08 20:32:18 +0000 UTCCool! Also, nice job with the rapture version of “weekend in the country.“ As you would say, that was for me!

2023-01-08 02:41:27 +0000 UTCI think recording for three hours might be a bit too much for my dad (to say nothing of all the Goku Inflation) but I might ask him to do another commercial somewhere down the line!

2023-01-05 19:29:59 +0000 UTCOh boy, the mention of the Adventures in Odyssey Bible unlocked a deep memory. I wasn't even raised evangelical, so I'm not sure why I was given that.
Tom and Joe made me give them money to play their game and now I, Teagan, am anime sickos canon. I'm gonna live forever!
