2024-12-16 18:02:29 +0000 UTCI so need Ben to read Lamb (The Gospel of Christ according to his best friend Biff) by Christopher Moore as his only account of the Bible

2024-11-06 16:28:26 +0000 UTCNever been a series i will not be watching any of the movies off. The pentance for, 12 years in music and for me a great board game series. The butt hole cut is the only thing im remotely interested in for ALW. So many icks.

2024-11-04 21:26:06 +0000 UTCI've not seen JCSS, but I try to watch Matt Berry's parody AD/BC: A Rock Opera every Christmas and highly recommend it if you have a half hour! https://youtu.be/JS1eTb6smNM?si=hr4JJnD_R5I7nMcZ
Seán Lynch
2024-11-04 17:19:56 +0000 UTCIn my experience, other tensions fill the gap (for me, vax vs. anti vax). While religious tensions are loaded because one side may be worried about the eternal souls at stake, it is also difficult to disagree about nonreligious things where ones immediate health is at stake.

2024-11-04 15:19:42 +0000 UTCthe main cultural tail on Avenue Q (for me at least) is that NOFX covered 'everyone's a little bit racist' on the 2009 Warped Tour lol

2024-11-04 04:24:44 +0000 UTCNot a stray "is this Judas?" during the Caiaphas song 😂 Surreal and delightful to hear the friends chat over one of my faves. One of the only films in which I feel like I know more about it than them. Highly rec folks check out the Ted Neeley commentary, really moving reflection of the project recorded soon after Carl Anderson died
Maricela Gonzalez
2024-11-04 02:32:21 +0000 UTCThank you. No one knows what I’m on when I say that.

2024-11-03 14:56:02 +0000 UTCVery excited for Cats(2019), one of the greatest film going experiences I've ever had
ian
2024-11-03 14:55:28 +0000 UTCSadly it's not a theatrically released film. It does rule though
ian
2024-11-03 14:54:31 +0000 UTCIt really isn't any more stupid than Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. And Winkler is really damn good in it
ian
2024-11-03 14:52:54 +0000 UTCLoved the discussion of their religious upbringing, and the combined musical knowledge of Griffin and David. They have a great perspective on this material
Owen Phillips
2024-11-03 01:21:51 +0000 UTCVery excited for ALW… as a CATS film defender I’m excited to hear about how all of this fits together.
fartinscorcese
2024-11-02 22:33:31 +0000 UTCIt's a up to taste, but I personally disagree since I want those falsetto screams - no one did them better than the concept album singer Ian Gillan (lead singer in Deep Purple) where he ad libbed them during recording, and most versions of Jesus have imitated him since.
Johannes Wiberg
2024-11-02 21:57:23 +0000 UTCI think this Patreon series has become less of a commentary series (which is would probably not function well as) and more of a hangout session with a film in the background - and I'm all here for it, even if it can be a bit frustrating when you want them to notice something specific. I wrote a paper on Jesus Christ Superstar when I studied musicology so I know this well, so I was hoping for some more in depth talk about the work and the performances - but in the end, that's not what this series is about. I guess we could either appreciate it for what it is, or unsubscribe. I love it so the choice is easy for me.
Johannes Wiberg
2024-11-02 21:55:29 +0000 UTCWhy does Griff wear nem bands on his wrists
Annie
2024-11-02 21:23:03 +0000 UTCBetween this and David’s sax solo on Lost Highway episode I’m convinced we need more episodes where David does some performance.
Tori
2024-11-02 19:28:45 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting to hear the guys talk about the absence of religion in their households growing up. It must be a huge relief. I may be the only person in my entire extended family who isn’t a devout Christian. It’s a major source of tension internally and externally
Andy P
2024-11-02 19:17:57 +0000 UTCMan, Griffin just had no interest in talking about this actual movie huh
Timothy Wilson
2024-11-02 16:29:22 +0000 UTCSims’ rendition of ALW ballads = 10/10
Laura Bee
2024-11-02 16:07:32 +0000 UTCMore Carl Anderson talk! What a freaking force of nature he is in this.

Peter Klaven
2024-11-02 02:53:22 +0000 UTCDenzel Washington's The Hurricane isn't outdated at all! It so powerful and very relevant. Movie makes me cry every time. Such a good picture.

2024-11-02 02:11:13 +0000 UTCYou know who did a great job playing Jesus was that Ken Halkheiser. It was very tastefully done.

2024-11-01 23:19:24 +0000 UTCI will not stand by their waterboy slander. Is it stupid? Unabashedly but if you like football and or played it it really works.
Chauncey Telese
2024-11-01 21:32:47 +0000 UTCI would beg to watch this movie constantly as a young kid and was SO taken in by the overture that I thought they actually left Ted Neeley in the desert when they pack up and drive off at the end.
Allison Hrabar
2024-11-01 20:41:57 +0000 UTCRe: The Man who loved cat dancing. That movie was filmed in the small town where I grew up. I had a laugh when it was described as “fun” on the episode as there was a mysterious death during filming. It was often discussed in our town so my first thought was “oh, yeah tons of fun” 😂😂

Andy Germuga
2024-11-01 13:50:51 +0000 UTCI think Nicholas Ray’s King of Kings is a mess but it’s a watchable Jesus picture. Ray kind of brings a queer energy to the production and seems a lot more interested in adding stuff not in the bible. Maybe half the running time is about decadent goings on in Herods court or rebels fighting the romans. The Jesus bit is proto hippy, you could imagine Jeffrey Hunter as a folk singing youth pastor. Rip Torn is Judas. Also for a 1961 biblical epic it’s 2:40 rather than the 3 hours plus those things usually are.
David Kirk
2024-11-01 13:44:49 +0000 UTC"Sit in silence" during the overture? Is it a silent musical?
ediblegenius
2024-11-01 12:36:45 +0000 UTCIt’s not a burger report exactly but recently I was at Sardi’s (big theater crowd bar in Times Square, for non-NYC folks) and ALW himself walks in with a small crowd. He got what looked like a club soda with lime and was extremely friendly with the bartender. No one else in the bar approaches him but after he left, an older guy at the end of the bar looks at me and is like, can you fucking believe that was ALW? Fun times. Anyway this movie rules, glad the BC team is doing it!

2024-11-01 09:02:42 +0000 UTCSomehow my theatre hag kid self has never seen the movie adaptation (and The Chorus Line movie was big in my house so…) It’s been a bummer week and this was very much needed, perfect timing

2024-11-01 05:33:42 +0000 UTCI would pay good Republic credits to know Scorsese’s thoughts on this movie, I don’t at all mean that he ripped something off and Last Temptation is obviously an extremely extremely different movie but there’s various aspects of this movie, especially visually, where I just would be really interested to know what Marty thinks
