GAM 413: Charly
Added 2023-07-16 23:44:52 +0000 UTCWe're spoiling the Patrons this week with an early drop on the bonus episode plus a behemoth "extended edition" version of this week's show dropping a day early.
Normally we try to keep GAM under two hours, and after 30 different cuts we did manage to whittle the main release down to 1:59:45, but there was so much good shit on the cutting room floor that we decided to give patrons the whole thing. Enjoy!

God I have intrusive thoughts about dying while my dog is still alive and him thinking I abandoned him. Fuck this movie so hard.

2023-07-23 03:19:00 +0000 UTCI'll be totally honest—unless there's another statue that nobody takes pictures of, I don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the Space Jesus. Maybe it's because I grew up marginally Catholic, but that looks like a super normal statue of White Jesus. And he's just wearing a toga with one nipple out; he's hardly a provocative, sexy Jesus. You don't get a lot of "sexy" versions, but you do at least see many nearly-nude crucifixion scenes. If you want a legit "homoerotic Jesus" I'd recommend Michaelangelo's "Risen Christ", the first version of which has full scrotum visibility on a mature, hunky Yeshua.

2023-07-23 03:01:16 +0000 UTCThere's a version around here that are called "party potatoes", and yeah they're pretty good.

2023-07-21 22:18:22 +0000 UTCWell, this episode is how I found out that the hash brown casserole I make every thanksgiving is actually “funeral potatoes”. And I can confirm, they are incredible.

2023-07-19 23:45:23 +0000 UTCThis was more than a GAM episode. It was so enlightening to hear the experiences of people who have to go through this shit. This has occurred in previous Mormon Movie Months, of course, but this one really seemed to have nailed it. It'd be interesting if you could ever find someone who escaped Scientology and was willing to tell their story in a similar fashion. I can think of a few reasons why that might be hard, but it would be interesting to hear if it ever happened.

2023-07-19 05:14:28 +0000 UTCa few years ago I found this podcast through the Singles Ward episode (as an exmo all these mormon movies were our “pre-approved” sunday movies so I saw them MANY times) and I remember the guys being so confused by a random scene of a guy crying over a book and laughing my ass off because they didn’t GET it. Charly was my sister’s favorite book growing up and everyone freaked out about it. And now here we are, the wheel has come full circle.

2023-07-19 04:45:25 +0000 UTCThis movie taught me that a women's only use is as an incubator. Once the man has an heir, the woman is rendered superfluous and should be gotten rid of as soon as possible. AKA, the author actually hates women.
Annika Peterson
2023-07-18 18:41:39 +0000 UTCWelp Im already up to episode 15 of the LDL podcast. What have you done?!

2023-07-18 15:45:53 +0000 UTCThank for the Ani throw at the end! I keep trying to educate the younger generation about her.

2023-07-18 14:35:18 +0000 UTCIt’s not the Flowers for Algernon adaption, it’s a really misogynistic Mormon movie

2023-07-18 12:28:37 +0000 UTCI think I read this book in either my senior year of middle school or sometime in High School. I love you guys, but I'm gonna be skipping this one. Way too ssad and triggering for me.

2023-07-18 04:01:27 +0000 UTCOh mah gadd, … this movie was SO sad! I’m glad you didn’t make Cara watch this. The Latter-Day Lesbians were PERFECT for this one.😉😏

2023-07-18 01:50:18 +0000 UTCIt’s horrifying to think of dying with small kids & its fucking horrifying to think how all the Mormons & all the Christians have been brainwashed by these movies to walk through their whole lives fantasizing about what would happen if their spouse died & it was all planned all along

a gay in indiana oh my god oh no help
2023-07-17 16:58:25 +0000 UTCBut…at least I’ve seen and experienced a classic
a gay in indiana oh my god oh no help
2023-07-17 16:58:11 +0000 UTCI did though. I just clicked on the movie I saw because who the fuck spells it like Charly, and I’m like, weird choice guys, I’m very depressed now, and then….I realized it was still Mormon movie month
a gay in indiana oh my god oh no help
2023-07-17 16:57:40 +0000 UTCwe must remake this movie, but the opposite, where this woman shows the closed in mormon how good life is and he turn atheist and they are happy

James Robbins
2023-07-17 05:35:57 +0000 UTCJeez the male lead gives Clay Walsh from Old Fashioned a run for his money. And not sure if I missed it but I even re-listened to the start and still don't get why was Charly in Utah and going on a date right away with him?

Adam Pope
2023-07-17 00:27:49 +0000 UTCWhich Charly? 1969, 2002, 2007? EDIT: NVM it's 2002 and on youtube. The 1969 one looks awesome, I'm DLing now.

2023-07-17 00:12:14 +0000 UTCYou’re not in Joe Rogan or Dan Carlin territory, so I think you’re good for now

2023-07-17 00:05:53 +0000 UTCPlease don't ever apologize for making an episode TOO long. I cycle through old GAMs on a regular basis because it's like my comfort podcast.
