Transcript

[Chris Gethard]

If you want to feel more connected to humanity and a little less alone, listen to Beautiful Anonymous. Each week, I take a phone call from one random anonymous human being. There's over 400 episodes in our back catalog. You get to feel connected to all these different people all over the world. Recent episodes include one where a lady survived a murder attempt by her own son. But then the week before that, we just talked about Star Trek. It can be anything. It's unpredictable, it's raw, it's real. Get Beautiful Anonymous. Wherever you listen to podcasts, y', all.

[Mrs. P]

It is blockbuster season, and right now, a lot of superhero movies are showing up, and people are having a lot of discussions on whether or not superheroes are woke. And I'm not here to discuss that at all. Okay, we're not gonna do that on this podcast. However, we are gonna discuss what Christian nationalists think of our favorite movies. That's right. That's right. What do the people who are okay with conc camps think about the films that Mrs. P and I love? Because Mrs. P did some deep dive research this week, and somehow she ended up on the movie guide website that lets you know just how godly are your favorite films. Too many times. Remember to smile. So you found this website, Mrs. P. Yes.

[Unknown]

So I was doing some research.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

I had many tabs open. It got really weird.

[Mrs. P]

How many tabs?

[Unknown]

Too many tabs, Exactly.

[Mrs. P]

The name of the show.

[Unknown]

I had too many tabs open.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Because I was doing research for a podcast episode. Right. And then I got lost because this website called Movie Guide came up. Have you ever heard of this?

[Mrs. P]

I have never heard of Movie Guide.

[Unknown]

So Movie Guide is like a Christian rating system where you can. It's a search engine of all the movies, and they have people that watch all the movies and then rate them on whether or not they meet the guidelines of Christianity.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

And then I started reading the reviews and I went a little crazy. And then I called you into the room and I said, get in here and look at this.

[Mrs. P]

Yep.

[Unknown]

And then what did we do?

[Mrs. P]

Then we began to start searching our favorite movies and screaming them at each other. Now, where this, just for the listeners know, when you. When you first go to the website and you look at, like, movies and stuff like that, when you hit reviews movies, it just starts listing the things that are out in theaters right now because they're trying to end up, you know, like, Superman's about to come out and they have a big problem. I didn't read their review on this, but in general, I've Been seeing that the right, especially maga, has a big problem with Superman.

[Unknown]

What's wrong with Superman?

[Mrs. P]

He's an image. He's an illegal alien.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that's like the whole thing.

[Mrs. P]

He's an illegal alien. And I don't know if you know this woke film directors like James Gunn are trying to make billionaires look bad through Lex Luthor, who's a guy who definitely shouldn't be bald. He definitely. That's weird. Why would you make a billionaire bald? I'm just saying that these are choices that do not exist in the original source material that are brand new to today. That is what they feel. Because again, all of those. There's such a clickbait world we've talked about before with, with Captain Marvel and Brie Larson or all these other different things where any Disney, Marvel movies, anything with Star wars, any of this different stuff. There's all these guys, especially on YouTube, who literally pay their mortgages by just making terrible thumbnails that are like, ghostbusters can't be women. And that's their entire.

[Unknown]

I disagree.

[Mrs. P]

I know you do. I know you do. Strongly.

[Unknown]

I love a lady Ghostbusters.

[Mrs. P]

But anyway, we went to the site and then we started scrolling and I said, well, we haven't seen.

[Unknown]

Wait, hold on, because. Pause real quick. Okay, okay, listen. So you just brought up the Superman thing.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And then this morning we were drinking our coffee, getting ready to record.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

And we were. We were talking about Superman, the new Superman. David Coren sweat.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

And in the interview they were like, oh, he's from Philadelphia. And then I immediately went, what high school did he go to?

[Mrs. P]

I know, you got really weird. Immediately, immediately you're like, which high school was a father Judge? And no.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

I think you guys need to understand there's a thing with Philadelphians where if you say you're from Philly, they ask you what high school? And if you don't have an answer immediately, they point at you and make the scream noise from Body Snatcher like you're from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. That's what they do.

[Unknown]

Exactly. And I was like, okay, so what high school you go. So I went to his wiki page.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And I found out. I don't even think he's from Philly. He's from fucking. What's it called? He's from the suburbs somewhere.

[Mrs. P]

Lower Marion.

[Unknown]

Lower Marion.

[Mrs. P]

Because you started screaming. He went to some bougie school in Lower Marion.

[Unknown]

And.

[Mrs. P]

And then I continued to watch the interview when he said he went to a Quaker school.

[Unknown]

Well, yeah. No, but he also graduated from Juilliard, so he's a little fancy schmancy. I love that for him. This is out of all the things I was reading about him, but he.

[Mrs. P]

Now lives and works in Philadelphia.

[Unknown]

No, I love that for him. Good on him. This has nothing to do with that. The funniest thing I found on his Wiki page, and I didn't say this out loud while we were drinking our coffee, is, do you know that his grandfather is incredibly famous? And, like, I'm not saying he's a Nepo baby. I mean, he's a rich baby. But his maternal grandfather is the American author Edward Packard, who is the author and creator of the choose youe Own Adventure books.

[Mrs. P]

I. What?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

What? What? What?

[Unknown]

His grandpa.

[Mrs. P]

Hold on, wait. Superman's grandpa? Superman is from Philly, and his grandpa created Choose Own adventure novel?

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Mrs. P]

What the fuck? How is this not everywhere? How is this not the news? How is this. Why am I finding this out now? They should be leading with this. And I watched the interview with him. He seems like a very great guy. He's a very great guy. I think the one thing I really liked about him in the interview. And we'll get to what the Christian Nationalist MAGA thinks about everything else, but what is he a big deal about the rest of the crew?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And he talked a lot about costuming. He talked a lot about stunts and about, you know, how many people are around. And I'll tell you the reason why I did it.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

The reason why I did it is there's a famous story. Do you know how Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

[Unknown]

Okay, the Rock.

[Mrs. P]

The actor.

[Unknown]

Wayne the Rock Johnson. Dwayne the Rock Johnson, famous for playing man in safari outfit.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. But he also is famous for playing Black Adam.

[Unknown]

Okay?

[Mrs. P]

And that is the movie that destroyed the old DC Cinematic Universe, okay? And a big rumor was that there was multiple times where the Rock refused. Like, just stayed in his trailer for hours on end, okay. And was like, a very big diva. And so. Which costs money. Like, the Rock sitting in a trailer. All these people are standing around. All of those people work rate. You know what I mean? Like, a lot of them are union. Well, depending on where they are, they might not be union, but, like, because so many films are now moved outside of Hollywood. But anyway, one of the things that he said was when James Gunn was like, we want to offer you the part, but, like, you have to respect the time and the work of the. Of the crew. And he's like, obviously, what are you Talking about. But it was so clear, like to me knowing again, a little bit of lore Goblin in the background. I'm like, ooh, ooh. This is a silent shot at the Rock. Oh, oh, they're shooting. They're shooting on the Rock.

[Unknown]

Let me take a big shot at the Rock. Did you know that the Rock, famously bald man in safari outfit.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

He owns a hair care line.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, I did know that.

[Unknown]

Called Papatouille.

[Mrs. P]

Because before all, before everyone who was good in the world decided to stop going to Target. I remember walking through Target one day and being like, is that the Rock selling shampoo? What the fuck are we talking about here?

[Unknown]

Papatouille?

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, it just, it's the funniest thing. It didn't need, like he didn't need to put his face on it. That's the thing. You could still be the investor in the shampoo.

[Unknown]

Just do the vitamin water thing. Is the Vitamin water?

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, it was vitamin water. 50 cent.

[Unknown]

Yeah, just put your name in the background. Invest the money. Like angel investor status.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

But there's this thing right now where every celebrity wants to have their own some type of cosmetic line.

[Mrs. P]

Well, before it was liquor, it was. Most of them was tequila. A lot of them did tequila.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Including Kendall Jenner.

[Mrs. P]

Okay, you know what I'm bringing back? Let's get back to what the people who want to ruin this country and world.

[Unknown]

Okay, so the believe about movies. The first movie I looked up immediately was my favorite movie from my mid teens Ever After Ever. I think it's a great place to start. You love Ever Ever after the Drew Barrymore Cinderella Story.

[Mrs. P]

I think we have three copies movie on dvd and we don't even own.

[Unknown]

Oh, and a vhs.

[Mrs. P]

And we don't even own a DVD or VHS player. We have them just in case society collapses and streaming isn't available.

[Unknown]

I have access to my favorite movie. Okay, so, okay, I have here a screenshot of what the initial review looks like. So it says ever After A Cinderella story. And then there's. What would you call this, like a formula about language, violence, sex and nudity.

[Mrs. P]

It's a chart. And we'll put the chart right up here. And. And on this chart it has LA language, violence, text and nudity. And it has a scale.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that.

[Mrs. P]

It's a sliding scale that goes back and forth on it. And it doesn't seem like this one doesn't show the. The rating.

[Unknown]

Yeah, no, we'll.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, there it is. I see that. Yeah. But yeah, so on this sliding scale it'll. It'll mark different things for like light, moderate or heavy.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Depending on language. It has light bad language and violence. It has light violence for sex. None. And nudity. None.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So right away Ever after is doing pretty good here.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Okay, so I'm going to read you how they describe this film. This is not one of the 500 fairy tale versions of Cinderella. This is a. Oh, hold on, my Google Doc just went. This is a very realistic fantasy with no magic and no fairy godmother. Instead, the genius of Leonardo da Vinci helps the prince to understand the true meaning of love. The dialogue of this movie is exquisite, full of humor, pathos and the profound insight of the human condition. The staging is excellent, lending deep realism to every aspect of the story. The only thing that falls short is the trailer and that the commercials for the movie which give the movie going audience the idea that Ever after is just a marvelous work of art. Ever after has a strong positive references to God, references to faith, and powerful references to the responsibility and decency that this entertaining movie exhibits a very Christian worldview when one examines all the intricate elements that make up this superb film. I, I I watched Ever After a million times. I've never thought of it as a.

[Mrs. P]

Christian, never looked at it as a Christian.

[Unknown]

I never thought we were taking strong positive references.

[Mrs. P]

I think I've seen it once, I think I've seen it once because I can't stand Drew Barrymore. It's, it's a. Whoa. I no, I just can't stand her. I can't stand her.

[Unknown]

Holy shit. Are you kidding me right now?

[Mrs. P]

You know why I can't stand her? Because she's a fucking scab. That's right. I remember, Drew. I remember when you crossed the fucking picket line during that strike. Yeah, yeah. Oh, go, go, go cry in the rain a little bit more there, Drew. Why don't you go cry in the rain a little bit more about it? Never invited me on your show. How many viral videos do we have? It's called an Annie Pasto salad.

[Unknown]

Okay, so there's a second part to the review.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

It says why Ever after is rated PG13 is a puzzle. It is much milder than many PG rated films. Regrettably, there are a sprinkling of obscenities and some exclamations such as my God. But these exclamations are not to pronounce as curses, but as appeals and direct references to God and his grace.

[Mrs. P]

I I this was something I noticed I was going to bring up later because I, I've noticed the Scale for what they view as a cuss. I'm surprised they actually said curse and not curse.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because this feels very much like she. And she starts curse it. Like it feels, it has that energy. The way they view cursing on this website is insane.

[Unknown]

Well, they think of it as almost witchcraft.

[Mrs. P]

No, they do, but, but like. But taking God's name in vain, which is in the Ten Commandments.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

They take it directly as a direct offense. Like we, most of us view cursing is like shit is almost even negligible now. Yeah, like shit. If somebody says shit, we're like, yeah, but like fuck is still there. And it's more like people would get like. Like slurs. Yeah, but like for PG13, I think it's the movie. What's the movie? It's a John Travolta movie where he says for a movie to be PG13, you can't say the word fuck more than once.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And he then never says it the rest of the movie. It's just like. It's just put there at the beginning of the movie just to show like how the rating systems can be gamed.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And so in this case. Yeah, I don't know.

[Unknown]

So the, the way they close this is what they do is at the very end they do this weird summary of, of the movie's negative thing. Right. And this is. I'm going to read it how it's written. Finely tuned Christian worldview with an appeal to God, references to God, lies rebuked, moral principles taught. Three exclamations invoking God and four mild obscenities. Sword play punching and seeing the effects of a whipping. Several kisses, but no other sexual activity, no nudity and a cruel stepmother with threats of death ever after in their system is a plus one plus one in grade. Plus one grade.

[Mrs. P]

Well, now let me cover one of the ones I did.

[Unknown]

Okay, go ahead.

[Mrs. P]

Because I took it a little bit of a different direction than you. Booking a doctor's appointment can feel like climbing Mount Everest. Between finding someone who takes your insurance, treats your condition and has availability, no wonder people skip out on the care they need. Zocdoc changes all of that. Zocdoc is a free app and website where you can search and compare high quality in network doctors and click to instantly book an appointment. Appointments made through Zocdoc happen fast and usually within 24 to 72 hours of booking. So you can get things taken care of and get on with your life. And guys, Zocdoc has helped us constantly and consistently. When Mrs. P and I have had to juggle dealing with the baby and dealing with our own health, especially in urgent care situations. ZOCDOC has really helped us find just the right place to get to quickly and affordably. What used to be a mountain has just turned into a molehill. Stop putting off those doctor's appointments and go to Zocdoc.com tabs to find and instantly book a top rated doctor today. That's z o c-o c.com tabs zocdoc.com tabs I wanted to go with a really Star Wars. I was like, I need to go down Star wars because Star wars is important films to me. Growing up, however, I didn't want to go to the classic Star Wars.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because this. I needed to find something that. A Star wars movie that was created after this website was created and as they got. So I went with Rogue One because I love Rogue One. I think it's a great movie and we should watch andor. But you put on Love Island.

[Unknown]

I keep making him watch Love island and it's breaking his spirit and it's incredible.

[Mrs. P]

I screamed so much last night. I watch Love island like a horror.

[Unknown]

Movie because it is. Oh, my God. What did you say? You said it's like we're watching a fight outside of a bar.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. No, it is. Love island was designed for people who have never lived in a city near a nightclub. Because the way these people talk to each other, you would move. Like, if I had to hear these conversations every weekend, I would fucking leave the city. I'd move to another neighborhood. Like there was at one point, Hudda and Jeremiah.

[Unknown]

Hold on.

[Mrs. P]

Huddle and Jeremiah are screaming at each other because America voted to break them up. We're on episode 14. There's 37 of these. They. They broke them up, right? And then so. So Hudda, Jeremiah is sleeping in a bed with another girl. And Hudda has a huge problem with this. And she starts screaming at Jeremiah and all this different shit. And like, the things she's bringing to him are insane.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because I kept yelling, why are you mad at him for being a slut in the slut contest? Love island is a slut contest. There's no love involved. There's no love in that place. What are we talking about? It's a villa. It's not even a villa. It's a fucking Barbie's dream house that's been dropped on an island. It's eco terrorism, okay? They've destroyed a beach in Fiji somewhere to build a Barbie's dream House. That someday is going to be viewed the same way. Uncle Beru. Yeah, Aunt Beru. And Uncle Owen's fucking Tatooine desert residency is seen in Morocco right now. Okay. You can go visit where Luke Skywalker is in the first movie. It's an abandoned film set. That is exactly what is going to happen to the Fiji Love island set. Anyway, these two are. Are yelling at each other. He's like, it's not that deep. It's actually like, no, you betrayed me. And I'm like. The whole time I was like, I could picture this. We're At South Philly, 1:45 in the morning, and I'm like, babe, shut the fucking window. Shut the fuck. And I'm like, if you don't shut the window, I'm going to yell at him. I'm gonna open the way because it's a nice night. It's a night. It's. It's a 65 degree night. We're like, we don't need to have the AC on tonight. We should open the window, let a light breeze in here. No. How can I trust you around my kid? I told you in confidence, dick. You said you were gonna be my baby's uncle. What the fuck are we doing anyway? That whole show, also.

[Unknown]

They were only together for seven days.

[Mrs. P]

Exactly. They just met. These are all people who were like, you know what?

[Unknown]

I had.

[Mrs. P]

You know, I had a realization with Love Island.

[Unknown]

What?

[Mrs. P]

Every single person, almost every single person at least did one year of Zoom School.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because all of them are 22 or 24. A couple of like, I'm old. I'm 27, and I'm like, my bones. But like, most of them, a huge section of their life was like, just plucked out because of COVID and. And Covid and Zoom school and all this different stuff. So they at least a part of college or. Or a chunk of some of them. Maybe even high school.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

And so I'm sitting there looking at these people. I'm like, you're. You're. You're missing parts. You're missing parts. And then they just unleash you. And now my whole Tick Tock feed recently has just been taken over by it.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Now my Tick Tock knew when I crossed. You know what it was? It was the mommy sound. Tick Tock listens to that. That microphone does not cut off. Yeah, we. I'm telling you, I don't give a. That microphone. Because when we watch the episode where Hutta was like, I'm a mommy, mamacita, and I was like my phone immediately went, oh, you've reached there. Because that was a viral sound. That was a viral sound on TikTok when she started telling people and what the fuck? Why is that? Why is that, Huda? Why is that the way you talk?

[Unknown]

That's the weirdest way to say I'm a parent or I have a child.

[Mrs. P]

I have a child is what you say. Yeah, I have a child. Because you center it around your child cartridge people. Like, I'm a mommy. Okay, well, listen, in the modern day parlance, in all of the way we fucking talk, people don't just say that. And a lot of people call themselves mommy about all sorts of other different shit. Mommy milkers, come on, it's out there. We've all wanted to be stepped on by a giant vampire woman that we saw in a video game once and she got big mommy milkers and she is mommy. Okay, don't ask about. I don't remember her full name because I never played the game, but I've seen enough. Okay, Okay.

[Unknown]

I wasn't gonna ask.

[Mrs. P]

All right.

[Unknown]

I was concerned.

[Mrs. P]

Do you want to know what Christians think about Star Wars?

[Unknown]

I do want to know what Christians think about Star Wars Rogue One.

[Mrs. P]

Because I want to let you know Star wars is not what hurt my brain.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

It's what you made me view.

[Unknown]

Okay, I'm sorry.

[Mrs. P]

All right, so Rogue One, the thing that you left out that I, I captured on all of them is they all have a subtitle.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Star Wars Rogue One. The subtitle for this is Hope inspires sacrifice and redemption. Oh, and it's so. I. I think.

[Unknown]

Oh, I see what you're saying. Ever after it says if the slipper fits.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. They like to put a little pithy little subtitle. It makes it feel movie. Right. It's like a movie. It's my movie review. And this is my little, quick little thing. So their big thing on this is hope inspires sacrifice and redemption, which is the running theme of their review. Now for this one. Language, sex, nudity, none. Violence. Moderate, moderate, Moderate. Now I would say yes, the violence in Rogue One is moderate as the Death Star does. Genocide a city. That is a thing that happens.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

Like twice. Twice. So moderate violence. The death toll is incalculable, but okay. Moderate violence. Now here's the part, the big difference, the way I view mine versus the way you do. They have a section just called content.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Which is really like they try to. We're not talking about the review. We're not talking about the summary they're like, this is the juicy.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I was saying. They have a part where it just like it says swordplay. Kissing. Like.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, you had that a little bit broken out. But this is the entire content.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Of Rogue One, A Star wars story. Ready? Strong moral worldview with some redemptive content. Stresses hope as a part of its premise. Doing the right thing. Repentance, redemption, sacrifice, and finding a purpose in something bigger than oneself. With allusions to intelligent design.

[Unknown]

Not intelligent design, but.

[Mrs. P]

But with some pagan elements of the new age idea. The Force.

[Unknown]

What.

[Mrs. P]

Which. Which resolves some plot problems and preoccupy a few characters with. Some characters seem to pray to the Force, but the Force is described at one point as having a will which seems contradictory. And there's less discussion of the Force and its qualities than previous Star wars movies. Plus the movies has a strong positive anti totalitarian message. No foul language. Moderate battle violence with many people and stormtroopers getting shot by blasters or killed in explosions. Whole cities and planets are destroyed. What?

[Unknown]

That's moderate.

[Mrs. P]

The heroine's mother is shot by one of the evil emperor's henchmen when she was a child. Little girl has to hide from villains who kill her mother and. And take her father. A character falls around 20ft and is knocked unconscious. Many starships battle in outer space and above planets. One man. Starships attract two bases. Blind man sometimes uses stick to knock out and beat back the Empire stormtroopers. That is equal. That is equal to blowing up Jedha.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

A man has information extracted for him him by a creepy monster that reads his thoughts. Darth Vader's heavily deformed body is briefly seen. What? Okay, just seeing a deformed man. That's a. Hey, watch out. Yeah, watch out. We're bringing ugly laws back. Darth Vader chokes a character using the Force to teach him a lesson and remind him of his place. Whoa. Okay. Did he. Were they wearing a day collar? No sexual content, but a romance bruise. No nudity, no alcohol use, no smoking or drugs, and no other objectionable content. Now that is the main content section. I went a little bit deeper because what you have when you look at it, it has the general content of like, here's our top line. Warnings.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Then they get the content of. These are our detailed content.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Then they have a section called More Detail. Now more detail is where whoever wrote these articles before AI Existed would. Would do a combination of summary and their good Siskel and Egbert style review.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Mrs. P]

Where they really start throwing in some crazy shit. So this is from the more detail. This is like when the last two or three paragraphs, this is usually where they fall off the rails. Ready?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Like previous Star wars movies, Rogue One contains some New Age pagan elements, even though the movie is primarily about rebels and features no Jedis. So there's less inclusion of the Eastern monism or moral dualism than that plagues the other Star wars movies.

[Unknown]

Jesus Christ.

[Mrs. P]

That said, the character of Chirrut, the blind warrior has a fascination with the Force. During the battles, Chirrut repeats or even praise phrases like the Force is with me, the Force is in me, and I am one with the Force, and the Force is one with me. Also, in one scene, Jyn's mother tells her child to trust the Force, and at one point her silent prayer is seems to save their lives. Strangely, at another point, the Force is described as having a will. Of course, to have a will implies personal consciousness or personal God, not an impersonal force as in Eastern monism. For Christians, however, the truth is that there isn't a force that can't be used for good or evil. Instead, there is simply the good, which is our Father in heaven, God, whose perfect will for us is that we have a personal relationship with him through Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. The positive moral aspect of Rogue One included a desire for redemption and a need to make a difference in stopping the totalitarian evils of the Imperial Empire.

[Unknown]

What's its rating?

[Mrs. P]

This is a minus two. This is a minus two. Now here's the thing is, is I know Ever after had a plus one.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But in general, in general, from scrolling through some of these, if it's PG 13, it's a minus 2.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

That's kind of where the scale seems to fall for a lot of these. Unless the person who made the review really likes the movie and wants an excuse to watch it with their kids. Yeah, right. And so like, in the case of Rogue One, and what I found interesting about this is, remember, Rogue One came out was that 2017, around 2018, very early in the first Trump administration.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But it was written, produced, directed, filmed, all of that stuff. Like, I think even before Trump became president.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And there was a lot of people when this movie first came out who were like, rogue One is anti Trump. Yeah, it's anti Trump. It was a 2016. Yes, yeah, 2016. So, like, as it came out, it got backdoored, put in because it's a movie. It's an anti fascist movie. Yes, it's a movie against the totalitarian government empire. All these different things. And the thing is, if you take those things and apply it to your modern day, where you're looking around, people are like, oh, my God. This is about right now. It's like, no, no, no, no, no. Right now is doing the same things that all of the tropes that they are doing in this movie do.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's the same thing with Andor, where a lot of people are like, these things are happening just like an Andor. It's like, yeah. The guy wasn't like sitting there like the Simpsons.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And drawing a line and saying like, okay, and then Donald Trump is going to build concentration camp in the Florida Everglades. No, no. What he was doing was he went down. Well, these are the. These are the 12 steps of fascism.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. All right. Well, we're.

[Unknown]

Historically. Here's how they do it.

[Mrs. P]

Historically. This is how it goes. We're going to add a couple club shit. Os.

[Unknown]

I don't know what a glove shit is.

[Mrs. P]

We're not going to. I'm not. I don't have the time.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

I don't have the time.

[Unknown]

Should I Google it?

[Mrs. P]

You know, it's for you. It's ungoogleable.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

But. But we're going to add a couple different Star wars characters. Throw a blaster and a lightsaber in there, maybe a stormtrooper helmet, and we're already there. And like. And that's the thing is, like, so with this review. I think this review would be worse now.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because this website and Christian nationalists in general have to now be in the tank for Trump and have to like everything that the evil empire is doing. Because that's what we're doing now in America.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And we're getting rid of democracy.

[Unknown]

Hey, let's lighten it up. I want to tell you about my Negative two movie I did.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, okay.

[Unknown]

You ever see this movie called the Holiday? I don't think he has the Holiday. It's like one of my favorite rom coms. It's a Christmas rom com. Christmas rom com.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, I do know this movie.

[Unknown]

Okay. It's got Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, I remember. I never. I don't think I've ever seen the movie. I remember when it came out, though.

[Unknown]

It's a. I don't understand. You've never seen it? Because I literally watch it every. Every Christmas season.

[Mrs. P]

I don't know if you notice.

[Unknown]

They're a little thing. It says two love Stories for one price. For the price of one.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. It's a bogo.

[Unknown]

Yeah, Bogo.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

I miss Payless.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Buy one, get one for language. Heavy. Under the bad language, I got a heavy.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, I see that. I see that. It's the far right on that.

[Unknown]

Language, violence, light sex, light nudity, light.

[Mrs. P]

How is there light violence in the holiday?

[Unknown]

Well, we'll find out. Okay, let's see.

[Mrs. P]

So this makes me want to know what they think of shallow. How? I don't know.

[Unknown]

Why. They probably love it. They're like, this teaches women to be thinner. Okay, so because you've never seen the Holiday, I am going to read the little synopsis of what this movie is about. The Holiday is a romantic comedy about a female writer in London, Iris, and a movie trailer maker in Los Angeles, Amanda, who exchange houses during the Christmas season. Both are fleeing from sad love life and want to get away. Ironically, Amanda begins an affair with Graham, the handsome brother of Iris, who shows up drunk. Hey, stop. I can't read it if you do that. Who shows up drunk at his sister's doorstep one evening while living in Amanda's house, Iris becomes friends with Miles, a film composer. Iris and Miles help out Arthur, the elderly neighbor who's worried about accepting a special honor from the Writers Guild. Cameron Diaz plays Amanda, Kate Winslet's Irish, Jack Black is Miles, and Jude Law is grim. It's a charming romantic comedy. Witty, heartwarming. The leads have nice, funny lines to say. Right, I'm gonna skip to the very last line here. Regrettably, the relationship between Amanda and Graham is based on sex. The holiday also contains plenty of foul language, including the F word. And the F is lowercase and in quotes. Finally, there are no positive references to Jesus, although the movie is set during Christmas. Uh.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, my God. Oh, no. How dare they took the Christ out of Christmas.

[Unknown]

We sure did.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, no.

[Unknown]

Son of a. Okay, so under the content reviews. Now, this is. This is something weird that happened that we. I didn't understand. We both started trying to figure out what it meant. Yeah, it has all these little labels.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, it's a little wor. It's just like single letters or double letters that are really weird.

[Unknown]

It's clearly. It clearly means something, but they don't tell you. So it says content P, A, r, o, b, ll, v, s, n, a.

[Mrs. P]

A, and m. And now Mrs. P is not trying to spell something for you. No, this is like a weird hobo code.

[Unknown]

Yeah, it's a.

[Mrs. P]

That we.

[Unknown]

Secret code. And.

[Mrs. P]

And the. Then the key is not anywhere on the page you're looking for, no.

[Unknown]

You cannot find the key. I had to go deeply searching for the key and I did find it. And we're going to get into it. But first I want to read you the last of this content review. So we have all those little acronyms or whatever. Okay. Mixed pagan worldview with pagan elements. Oh, Romantic elements and moral elements. The quote F word and 2H words and 2As dash words. I think that's ass. Two ass words.

[Mrs. P]

Maybe because they believe there's multiple A words.

[Unknown]

There might be.

[Mrs. P]

I don't know what the other one could be. All right, keep going.

[Unknown]

Two ass words and 1s word. I guess that's sexual. I don't know.

[Mrs. P]

No, I think that's.

[Unknown]

Oh, that's.

[Mrs. P]

That's one.

[Unknown]

S is always one use of the word prick that they spelled it P.

[Mrs. P]

R, I C with a dash because.

[Unknown]

They removed the K. They took the K out and then it doesn't say prick anymore. Apparently. According to our language.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. They use the same way Jews remove the O from God.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So like I can't write his name in vain. So they're like G dash D and like, haha, I got you with a loophole. God. Who's omnipresent now? Not God or the force.

[Unknown]

The 19 light profanities such as quote my God. Light violence when woman punches man twice.

[Mrs. P]

Whoa. That's light violence.

[Unknown]

I like light violence. Is a woman punching a man. That's like moderate. Is genociding from your movie.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, genociding with. Genociding with a space laser.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that's moderate light. Just a punch from a woman.

[Mrs. P]

I'm desperate to know what heavy is. I'm desperate to know what heavy violence is.

[Unknown]

All right, next up, imply applied fornification with talk about fortification. Oh, salty language. Plus woman lives with man when movie opens up.

[Mrs. P]

That's it. That's all you need to know.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

She lives with a man. And there's no ring.

[Unknown]

There's no ring. Upper male nudity in one scene.

[Mrs. P]

That means a man has his shirt off.

[Unknown]

He doesn't say anything. I don't think the reviewer was upset because we know it was Jude Law.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Alcohol use and drunkenness in one scene and unseen drunkenness in another scene is discussed the next morning. So there's a hangover. How dare you.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

No smoking and Nothing else. Objectionable.

[Mrs. P]

Negative2 incredible. Negative2 incredible. I. We did look it up while you were doing this. Shallow how?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Subtitle Romantic Redemption minus three language. Heavy Violence, Light. Sex. Light. Nudity. Moderate.

[Unknown]

Nice. Can I explain to you the ratings page now? Because I did deep dive and find the fucking ratings page.

[Mrs. P]

Tell me all about this.

[Unknown]

I'm explaining the ratings to you.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. The hobo code.

[Unknown]

The hobo code. What the ratings mean. An explanation of our ratings. Many people ask us for an explanation of our ratings for movies. The information below should help answer most questions they and other people may have about this issue. Please contact us, contact us for any further questions. So know I might contact you. All right. Four stars excellent. Three stars good. Two stars fair. One star poor. Our quality ratings refer to the production value of the movie, the entertainment quality of the production and whether the movie fulfills what it tries to do. A four star rating does not guarantee the movie will meet our criteria for what makes a truly fine must must less great work of art. That kind of criteria depends on a lot of one's moral and spiritual values. Issues with acceptability ratings see below are meant to address. So you can have a four star excellent movie and it's still get a negative because it's a beautifully shot film.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So the Holiday is a four star quality film even though it's negative two.

[Mrs. P]

And you know I looked and that's the same with Rogue one.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

However shallow. How is a negative three with only two stars?

[Unknown]

The factual.

[Mrs. P]

Because. Because they. The reviewer hated this movie and also was like keep all children away.

[Unknown]

Also it's. What's his name from Seinfeld was in. He plays a terrible guy. The, the bald guy from Seinfeld.

[Mrs. P]

Jason.

[Unknown]

Jason Alexander. Yeah, he's in that film. He plays the worst guy.

[Mrs. P]

You know Jason Alexander is one of those guys who is like has been cursed where I've never, I've never seen him play a role I've liked him in outside of Seinfeld. Like I liked him as George Costanza. Yeah, I hate Seinfeld. But I like George Costanza like the way he plays that and like when he plays Jason Alexander. That's fine.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But I feel like he's just in this weird.

[Unknown]

The same shitty guy in every movie that because like shallow how he's the same guy that he is in Pretty Woman.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, you know what I mean? A rapist.

[Unknown]

Oh, I didn't say that. Okay, so let's go to the acceptability rating. So this is Our number rating. +4 is exemplary biblical usually Christian worldview with no questionable elements whatsoever. That's a plus four.

[Mrs. P]

Plus four.

[Unknown]

Plus three Moral. Some minor questionable elements. Media wisdom is suggested to discuss.

[Mrs. P]

I media Wisdom, not literacy. Nope, media wisdom.

[Unknown]

You should have wisdom about media, not literacy so that you can discuss this film properly. Because again, the whole idea of this is that you need to, you're watching whatever movie this is with a child and you need to be able to discuss it.

[Mrs. P]

And the morals a child or a weak willed adult.

[Unknown]

Yes, we'll get there.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Plus two good moderately questionable elements. Discernment required for young children. Plus one Worthwhile caution advised for young children. It's a worthwhile film, but caution for young children. Negative one caution advised for older children, including teenagers and sensitive adults.

[Mrs. P]

Real quick. Yeah, I noticed there's no zero.

[Unknown]

There is, there is no.

[Mrs. P]

I guess these are, these are definitely European Christians because they don't they, they still haven't learned the concept of zero from the Aztecs.

[Unknown]

There's no zero.

[Mrs. P]

What the fuck are we doing here?

[Unknown]

And somebody needs to tell me what sensitive adults are.

[Mrs. P]

I know, listen, I bid on blue sky.

[Unknown]

Minus two, extreme caution. Extreme caution for older teenagers and adults. Oh, okay. Negative three. Excessive. Excessive sex, violence, immorality and or worldview problems. Now in quotes it says sometimes excessive content such as violence is in otherwise redemptive movies such as Saving Private Ryan. But usually these movies are to avoid. Okay, so if we're winning a war. Yes.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Any other thing? No.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, war, violence is fine.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

You know, because remember it says thou shalt not murder. It doesn't say thou shalt not kill.

[Unknown]

Got it.

[Mrs. P]

You can kill, you just can't murder.

[Unknown]

Okay. One day you'll explain that.

[Mrs. P]

That is the logic that I've literally heard barked back at me.

[Unknown]

Yeah. The way that Caitlyn Jenner killed someone but she didn't get tried for murder.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, 100%.

[Unknown]

Okay, negative four. Abhorrent, intentionally blasphemous, evil, gross immorality and or a worldview problems to be avoided. Okay, so then they have these acceptability ratings, take into account cognitive stages of development in children, teenagers. They take into account moral issues and theological issues. Acceptability ratings help parents, fathers and mothers. Now that's in quote. It says fathers and mothers only. So no two dads or two moms. Yeah, of course, any non binary.

[Mrs. P]

This is the movie guide. All right.

[Unknown]

This is father and mother only.

[Mrs. P]

We are trying to guide Christians through movies. All right? We're not trying to woke.

[Unknown]

Okay, so let's skip down here. Now there's a five step scale to traditional literacy genres.

[Mrs. P]

Real fast, real fast. Just because as you were mentioning it, it dawned on me, I'm like, I've been trying to find a minus four movie.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

As you were talking about it. And then I immediately was just like, oh, wait, Dogma by Kevin Smith.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And then as I started scrolling down, it's like, oh, every Kevin Smith movie is a minus four. Every single Kevin Smith movie. They're like, fudge. This movie. This movie's evil. Keep this. We like Jay and so on Bob Strike Back. They're like, absolutely not. Don't do that. Clerks too. They're like the donkey scene. Absolutely not. I'm just like dying laughing as I'm scrolling down.

[Unknown]

I bet if you reviewed it though, the person was like this dog for dog. But like, the movie's terrible, but also Salma Hayek. Meow. So traditional literacy genres, the five step scale. 1. Mythic, the triumph of God or gods may also be called apocalyptic. Some myths are heroic, ironic or demonic or involve trickster protagonists. There's two Heroic, the triumph of man over by his own means. Three High Ironic, the triumph of man by a quirk of fate. Low, Ironic, the failure of man by the quirk of fate. And demonic, the triumph of evil or demons.

[Mrs. P]

I thought demonic who only existed in TikTok reviews. We're getting dime demonic energy over here.

[Unknown]

So then, then, okay, this reviewer and the way that they're doing these rules here, these ratings. They have Aristotle's four basic plots for us. Number one, man against man. Number two, man against nature. Number three, man against himself. Four, man against supernatural. These are also porn search engines. I just want you to know.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, God. Oh.

[Unknown]

And then under it says, to which I might add, for our science fiction fans, man against aliens. There are also other basic genre points for genres such as science fiction, westerns, mysteries, horror, police procedurals, musicals, comedies and suspense thrillers.

[Mrs. P]

But all of those still fit in those for they're just dumb. They just don't understand metaphor. Because if you're doing man against man, you can still do man against man. If one of the men is an alien. Yeah, that's Superman. Superman's an alien. He's fighting Lex Luthor. That's man against man.

[Unknown]

It's me again. Quan Mills.

[Mrs. P]

Man against alien. Oh, check out my new book, How I Got my Homie Aliens pregnant. It's an interdimensional alien and Prague film.

[Unknown]

Negative 4. Negative 4.

[Mrs. P]

4 stars. Minus 4.

[Unknown]

So then they have.

[Mrs. P]

I want these to review Quan Mills books. So this would blow their minds, dude.

[Unknown]

So positive worldviews. They have this whole section about the different worldviews, moral worldviews. I'm not getting into that. Then they Have a whole section about anti Christian worldviews. Humanism, romanticism, paganism, blah, blah, blah, blah.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, yeah.

[Unknown]

Then there's a glossary. What profanity means.

[Mrs. P]

Where's my hobo?

[Unknown]

I'm getting to it. Abbreviations.

[Mrs. P]

Thank you.

[Unknown]

Okay, abbreviate. So these are all the little letters we saw, peppered in. We don't know what they meant, but I found them.

[Mrs. P]

Okay.

[Unknown]

Okay, now there's one that says A B. A B. A B that's very strong. Anti biblical, Anti Christian or anti Jewish.

[Mrs. P]

Worldviews, which reads as AB.

[Unknown]

Now, now for AC.

[Mrs. P]

Wait, he's being anti Christian.

[Unknown]

ACAC is anti communist element worldview. So I think that might be a positive in theirs. Okay, but acap. Acap, that's anti capitalist, Anti wealth and the politics of envy. A cap.

[Mrs. P]

Wait, they hit. They made a cap.

[Unknown]

A cap.

[Mrs. P]

A cap is anti capitalist.

[Unknown]

I stay a cap.

[Mrs. P]

No, we a cap, y'.

[Unknown]

All. No, you are sometimes. I'm not.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, you're not. You're not.

[Unknown]

Ap, ap, ap AP AP is anti patriotism or anti American Americanism. A is light brief alcohol use. Funnily enough, AA is alcohol use or drunkenness.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, they hit A. They had an AA with that.

[Unknown]

But for aaa, we have heavy drunkenness and alcoholism.

[Mrs. P]

Well, that's because you need to use aaa. Yeah.

[Unknown]

B is mild or light biblical worldview. A, bb, strong biblical bb. B, very strong biblical. C, light Christian. Double C, strong Christian. Baba.

[Mrs. P]

I have it open over here. There's one that jumps out to me immediately. F, uppercase F, lowercase E. Feminist worldview.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

That's a. That's a big one on there.

[Unknown]

This is the thing you need to know. If it just says capital F, lowercase, that's a feminist worldview. But then if they increase it to F, E, F, E, that's more feminism. If it's fe, F, E, F, E, there's three fes. That's too much feminism.

[Mrs. P]

Got it.

[Unknown]

So that's why the. The ac. Acacac.

[Mrs. P]

That's why below it, when it says fr. F, R. F, R. That is a very strong non Christian heresy.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

With false religious. False religion is what it stands for.

[Unknown]

Yeah. HH is strong humanist worldview.

[Mrs. P]

Got it.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Look at.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, got it. Oh.

[Unknown]

Oh. Did you see ho?

[Mrs. P]

I saw ho. Ho.

[Unknown]

Ho.

[Mrs. P]

I see ho. Ho.

[Unknown]

Ho. Read ho to me.

[Mrs. P]

I'm gonna read you ho. Ho.

[Unknown]

Ho. No, read ho first.

[Mrs. P]

Hoe is light homosexual worldview or homosexuality, including sodomy and lesbianism.

[Unknown]

Look out for lesbianism.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, but ho, ho. Ho is very strong homosexual worldview or homosexual elements. Hell yeah, baby. Let me get on. We're getting a double on that.

[Unknown]

No, you better triple it because it's ho, ho, ho. Very strong homosexual worldview and homosexual elements.

[Mrs. P]

I went ho, ho, ho. From here on out. When you hear someone yell ho, ho, ho, just know they open up the back of their Santa.

[Unknown]

Crazy Santa going crazy right now.

[Mrs. P]

I'm crushing. Not just chimneys.

[Unknown]

He's sliding down. Oh, he's here for cookies and milk. Ho, ho, ho. Yeah, so anyway, that's what the. The little letters mean.

[Mrs. P]

Gotcha. A cap broke me.

[Unknown]

Yeah, a cap is the best one.

[Mrs. P]

A cap broke me hard. Mr. Third just brought up, bro. Speaking of broken Brokeback Mountain, what do you think? Well, it's, It's. It says here it's minus four, obviously, but it's. It's three stars on quality.

[Unknown]

Oh, no, it's good.

[Mrs. P]

They gave it more stars than shallow. Hal. They gave it more stars than shallow. How. But we have here. All right, you have. You have the chart up, right?

[Unknown]

Oh, yeah.

[Mrs. P]

What is row, row, row, row, row.

[Unknown]

Oh, oh. So two rows, three rows, three rows. Very strong romantic, idealistic worldview. Romantic elements.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. Because there's.

[Unknown]

This is a lot of romance.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. No, so it's a row, row, row, and a ho, ho, ho, ho. And then it has a double A cap.

[Unknown]

Double a cap. Anti capitalist.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. And then there's a single cap.

[Unknown]

Just one cap.

[Mrs. P]

What's a. What's a one cap?

[Unknown]

A solo cap. Let's see. Capitalism.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, just capitalism.

[Unknown]

Capitalism.

[Mrs. P]

Are they pro or anti cap?

[Unknown]

If you're cap and a cap, you can't be both.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, well, no, see, they're double A cap, but single cap. So it's just. It should just like they should cancel out.

[Unknown]

It's a double negative.

[Mrs. P]

These people are dumb. They've never been.

[Unknown]

They don't understand how batteries.

[Mrs. P]

They don't know that zero exists. They don't understand math.

[Unknown]

They don't know how batteries work. I listen to beautiful music that taught me how. Batteries.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, no, this is. This is pretty incredible. They do point out that there is a Christian wedding scene with the Lord's Prayer. They do.

[Unknown]

Oh, there's a wedding already.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Oh, there's definitely a wedding.

[Unknown]

Do you want to take a quick break and then we'll come back with another.

[Mrs. P]

As we take a quick break, can I tell you my favorite quote from the movie Brokeback Mountain?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

Okay.

[Unknown]

Speaking of engagements. And we already talk about the marriage on Brokeback Mountain.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

What's your next movie?

[Mrs. P]

Okay, so I originally was sitting down and I was choosing my favorite films.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And then I realized I don't get to watch my favorite favorite films anymore. It's the same reason why we haven't seen so many of the movies that are listed on the front page of the movieguide.org because we have a child.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And right now there is only one movie series that I am now deep into and I'm locked in lore wise.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And as the movie guide says, this is a film series that has adventure, laughter, and wild fun. That's right. I chose Disney Pixar's Cars too. Cars 2, a movie that I am so familiar with that it hurts my brain. Now let's look at the chart on this one. The chart we have none for language, none for sex, none for nudity. I would argue on that one though, because quite a few of the cars do not have paint on them.

[Unknown]

Oh.

[Mrs. P]

But the violence they claim is light. And again, I would argue that one as well.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

The Violence in Cars 2 is actually quite high with many murders of cars. Multiple cars are literally, literally murdered. The cars in Cars two are alive. I want to be clear about that to everyone. The cars are alive. They have souls. And Sentience.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

The movie opened the Cars two is different than Cars one. Okay, let me explain to our listeners who have never had the pleasure of getting balls deep into cars. Cars one is about Lightning McQueen and he's in a race. Cars three is about Lightning McQueen learning that he is aging out of racing.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Cars 2 is a spy movie.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's an international spy movie that focuses the main character of Tow Mater. Tow Mater is Larry the Cable Guy. Yeah, it's a. It's a rusted out tow truck voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, but it falls into a spy who knew nothing type of story where he is mistaken as an American spy and he starts working with. Why am I blanking on his name? Muppet Christmas Carol.

[Unknown]

Michael Caine.

[Mrs. P]

Michael Caine voices Finn McMissile, a British car spy. And then there's all this. Other hijinks ensue now that the movie has violence.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

He is a super agent that is being constantly chased down and trying to be murdered. And in fact, the first super agent that we hear of, we are shown as a crushed corpse.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because they put him inside of a car crusher.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

That is light violence. Multiple cars fall off an oil rig and you see their parts float up to the top because they are destroyed. There is a ray gun that is used and aimed at race cars. That is a secret movie camera that makes them. Their insides boil and explode.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So there are multiple murders.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Throughout this movie. And so I just want to be clear about that. That is light violence. Yeah, that is light violence according to these people. So now that we know the code.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

It is a cap.

[Unknown]

Yay.

[Mrs. P]

It has an anti capitalist message. Let me explain. Very strong moral worldview with some redemptive elements of sacrifice and forgiveness. Some strong capitalist elements of competing, winning and advertisements. With some light politically correct environmentalist, anti capitalist content about Big Oil.

[Unknown]

Yeah. The whole plot of the movie is that the. What? Some guy invented a new type of gasoline for cars. Cars to run on.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

But then all these old style cars from like the 90s are trying to destroy it because they want to run on old petrol.

[Mrs. P]

Well, no, because they found the biggest petrol reserve underneath this one specific area. Anyway, they said that the environmentalists include a comment and they flagged this comment.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

The Christian nationalists at Movie Guide thought this comment might be too far.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

A character says, once Big Oil, always Big Oil.

[Unknown]

Why is that too far? I thought they were pro Big oil.

[Mrs. P]

They know because. Because the movie is implying that Big Oil is bad. Once Big Oil, always Big Oil. They're like, should be making jokes like that.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

To our kids. Our kids should love oil. But the focus on making a moral statement against cheating to win.

[Unknown]

Okay. Yep.

[Mrs. P]

Get ahead or get rich.

[Unknown]

All right.

[Mrs. P]

And there's no foul language, but some very light bathroom humor about leaking oil. And a villain car falls into brown waste from a waste truck. And tow mater goes into a Japanese bathroom stall, which turns out to be something like a car wash. Which I want to tell.

[Unknown]

Oh, my God. They don't know what a bidet is.

[Mrs. P]

They don't know what a bidet is.

[Unknown]

It was a bidet. He didn't know how to use it.

[Mrs. P]

He didn't know how to use the Japanese bidet. It starts spraying everywhere. It's the reason why he ends up being confused as the American spy. Yeah.

[Unknown]

Because it's a pivotal plot moment.

[Mrs. P]

It is probably the most important part.

[Unknown]

Of the movie is that tomato doesn't know how to use a bidet.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

Funny enough, that happened at our house on Christmas one year.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Where someone turned our bidet on and shot themselves in the face.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, they did. They were like, what is this knob? And they did. They tow Mater themselves. We. Our bidet does not have giggles. Yeah. Someday I will go to Japan and I will have a bidet. Giggle at me.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

As it sprays my butt. Lots of light action. Back to the content.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

So lots of light action and comic violence such as shooting cars deliberately wrecked cars crushed off screen. Cars startle and tip over sleeping tractor car. That's the cow.

[Unknown]

I was gonna say that's the cow.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. When they do cow tipping, the cows in cars are tractors. Characters fall, cars fight, and plenty of chases. No sex, no nudity. They're cars.

[Unknown]

Cars.

[Mrs. P]

Cars offered liquid concoctions that are pictured like cocktails with alcohol. So that's. They're like, there. There is an alcohol. They use martini glasses.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But it's gas. No smoking or drugs and nothing else objectionable. Now, in their more detail, I scoured their review.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because there's a thing that happens in cars too, that for people who have YouTube brain rot, it's very important that. That. That this be noted. They never mention it once. Okay, I'm so. The fact that it's never brought up drove me crazy. Because Cars 2 has a Christian worldview.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

And I know this why. Because Christ exists in cars.

[Unknown]

What do you mean?

[Mrs. P]

Jesus Christ had to exist because in Cars two, the Pope is at the fucking race. The Pope mobile in Italy is there, and the Pope mobile is wearing the Pope hat.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And he's. Look, this is it. This is it right here. He's. I'm putting it on the screen. The Popemobile is cheering during cars. So if there is a Catholic Pope car, that means that there is a Catholic religion, and the Catholic religion means that there has to be a Catholic Christ.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

Which means there had to be a. And they're in Italy.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

Which. And I think they're in Rome at one point. Like, which means there was a Roman Empire.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Who definitely car crucified a carpenter.

[Unknown]

A carpenter.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. A carpenter. A carpenter. Also, there's car Hitler. That's. No, no, no. Everyone know.

[Unknown]

Everyone knows.

[Mrs. P]

Everyone knows. In the first car, in the first, second, and third Cars movie, there is a Jeep. It's a World War II style jeep.

[Unknown]

Yep. That implies World War II.

[Mrs. P]

That implies a World War II. That implies a car Hitler.

[Unknown]

I thought that car was a Vietnam Jeep.

[Mrs. P]

There's the same era. It's like. It's like that. That. That style.

[Unknown]

Because he was so mad at the hippie van the whole time.

[Mrs. P]

No, but the hip. The people who were mad at the hippie vans, those were really like the Korean War and World War II veterans.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And then there's the H. Who's clearly getting high. And that's. So it's actually one of the subtexts of the entire thing is that Lightning McQueen Queen is using the hippie gas.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Which is organic gasoline. Which is why then the confusing. Because they also even point out. This is actually from the review. The pace in Cars 2 is a bit frenetic at times, and there are too many plot lines competing with one another. Finally, the intricate spy plot sometimes may be a little hard for younger children to follow, especially in the middle and at the very end, which I want to point out is the entirety of a movie. For example, one of the twists at the end was difficult to catch because it went by so fast. And I'm like, was it.

[Unknown]

Was he talking about how fast the cars drove by?

[Mrs. P]

No, he's talking about the fact that there's the. I think it's the reveal. I think it's the villain reveal. And the motivation of who this guy is.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mrs. P]

The entire time.

[Unknown]

Well, we don't want to spoil the plot with who the villain is because everybody's definitely gonna go watch cars too.

[Mrs. P]

It's definitely gonna be one of those moments where you're like, oh, Edd, in this. Love the villain. Like, yeah, Eddie is just amazing. I love Eddie also. Who now uses different terms and Everything else and is still working.

[Unknown]

I think she.

[Mrs. P]

She. I think Stacy was one of the names that she was going by, but she said it's one of those ones where she understands because she's so much older in life that she's comfortable with all of it.

[Unknown]

And.

[Mrs. P]

But she's more impressed that people are accepting her. Using her new name and all these different things and people are trying is what was very important to her, you know, and what's funny is actually the character that Eddie Izzard plays In the movie Cars 2 in Cars 2 actually has changed because it's a whole reveal that it was this old, this, like, ancient car that had a bad.

[Unknown]

It was a Trans Am.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, it was. Yeah, exactly. It's a. I just got puns today. You're punning up. You're punning it.

[Unknown]

I got that in sync. Well, you've been crazy since.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Ever since. We got a new garbage disposable called an Insinkerator. And now you' punishing us with these reviews.

[Unknown]

I'm gonna punish you with my next review.

[Mrs. P]

Okay, go ahead.

[Unknown]

So I was trying to think of. I wanted to go for movies that I liked that have a place in my heart that aren't the best movie, but they have a place within my mind of, like, this is iconic, and I wanted to see if it was there. And so I did, in fact, find it. The Lighthouse.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, good movie.

[Unknown]

It's little quote thing says dark, eerie and unsettling. Now, here's the fun thing about the Lighthouse. Our little rating review under language, violence, sex and nudity. All four are in bright red under heavy.

[Mrs. P]

Wait. They think the Lighthouse has heavier violence than the Death Star blowing up two separate places. That is still okay. No, that's fine.

[Unknown]

Let me. Let me quick, quick review here. The Lighthouse takes place on a small island off the coast of New England. As two lighthouse keepers per their duties, a young man named Winslow has taken a job as the second to Thomas. Wake. Every day, Winslow rises and struggles through tough physical labor and then has to deal with Thomas, who drinks his weight in alcohol every night. As time passes, Winslow finds himself doing the same, but his mind begins to take a turn. During the day, he dreams of a romance with a mermaid. He sees strange creatures in the ceiling and begins to draw suspicions about his co worker. However, when a storm hits the small island, it's questionable if Winslow can hold on to his sanity. The Lighthouse is directed by the same director as the occult horror movie the Witch, and the two movies follow a very similar style. The Overtone is dark, eerie and unsettling. The Lighthouse is packed full of immorality, extreme alcohol abuse, violence, perversion and sin. There is a lot of cursing and inappropriate sexual content. Media wise, the moviegoers will find that the Lighthouse is abhorrent.

[Mrs. P]

How many stars did they give it though?

[Unknown]

It's got four stars.

[Mrs. P]

Four stars. Yeah, exactly. They know it's a good movie.

[Unknown]

Also, guess what? This is a negative. 4.

[Mrs. P]

I knew it was a negative. You know how I knew it was number one? Because there's. You can see some butt in there. Yeah, they're drinking heavily. Yeah, they curse a lot.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It is not. It's definitely not a kids movie. I mean, that's the thing. It's definitely not a kids movie. But also I knew it was going to be a minus four because of its anti Christian message. In one scene.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Can I quote you the scene?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. Damn ye, damn ye. Let Neptune strike ye dead. Winslow Hark Hawk, Triton hawk bellow bid our father the sea king rise from the depths full foul in his fury black wave teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime to choke ye, engorging your organs till you turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more. Only when he crowned in cockle shells and slithering tentacle tail and screaming beard take up his felbend arm, his coraline trident screeches banshee like in the tempest and plunges right through your gullet, bursting ye a bulging bladder no more but a blasted bloody film now. And nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon, only to be lapped and swallowed by the infinite waters of the dread Emperor himself. Forgotten to any man to any time, forgotten to any God or devil, forgotten even to the sea for any stuff or pot of Winslow heavyn any scanting of your soul is Winslow no more, but now itself the sea.

[Unknown]

So. Yeah, they gave that a negative. 4. I think. You did great.

[Mrs. P]

Thank you.

[Unknown]

You're going to be able to talk later?

[Mrs. P]

No, I'm good. I'm good.

[Unknown]

So let me quickly.

[Mrs. P]

I didn't realize how long that quote was until I was at the third line.

[Unknown]

I can't believe you did. You went fully through it. I thought you were going to jump out.

[Mrs. P]

I. I know. You know, I. There's one thing I want to say to all the listeners out there. When I do something for a bit, I go full hog. And if you want to go full hog and Support us. You can join us at pearlmania500.net We've actually talked about me doing that as a TikTok before me doing the whole heart. Because the Hark scene, it's over cooking a lobster.

[Unknown]

Yeah. It's overcooking the lobster.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. He's like, I don't like the way you look at cocktail. He's like, hark. And he goes to. He just starts screaming, hark.

[Unknown]

Well, yeah, because if you've ever lived with a roommate and you're at the end of it and then they're in the kitchen and they left too many dishes or something, that's where you get.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Anyway, this got a PA, a PA, an H&O, a C, an LLL, a VVV, an SSS, an NNN, an AAA, a D& an Ms. Dominant worldview and other worldview content elements. Strong pagan worldview with many other elements dispersed throughout pleasures of the flesh. Driven desires take precedence in the motivation for the storyline and characters. Some pagan elements cross over into occult themes with superstitions coming true and a belief in reincarnation. Although there is one minor element where a man claims to be a quote, God fearing man, but he doesn't behave like it and is never acknowledged again. Besides that one short conversation, many fantasy themes as it's unclear what is reality and what is delusion. A man says a sort of prayer to King Triton while trying to curse someone else.

[Mrs. P]

Hey Hark.

[Unknown]

Foul language. More than 45 obscenities and profanities with 15 goddamns, two uses of the F word and one time saying Jesus, Mary and Joseph as an exclamation. What is my grandma here?

[Mrs. P]

I this. I swear I was saying to you before I feel like. The rating system is set by the town from Footloose where they're like oh, in one scene they said a gosh darn.

[Unknown]

A man is shown vomiting. Men are shown urinating into buckets of water many times. The bucket is shown once with urine and feces in it, later being thrown into someone's face. A man passes gas throughout the movie. A few inappropriate comments. Violence extreme and strong violence includes A dead body is shown floating in the water. A man is slapped violently in a face. A man is very high above the ground and falls. A man angrily grabs a seagull and kills it by slamming its head repeatedly against the concrete.

[Mrs. P]

Which is in the movie is a reincarnated soul of a dead sailor. That's what they when they're like, they talk about reincarnation. That's One of the things that they're covering.

[Unknown]

A human head is found in a lobster trap.

[Mrs. P]

Yep.

[Unknown]

A few fist fights. In wrestling, a man punches the glass on a clock, causing his hand to bleed. A man is treated. Treated like a dog with a leash and collar. And then shown buried alive.

[Mrs. P]

That is. Yeah, that is.

[Unknown]

A man's shoulder is chopped open with an axe.

[Mrs. P]

Ax.

[Unknown]

A man's head is chopped with an ax. There is a spray of blood. A man falls down a long staircase. A man is eaten by birds. It's shown to be very bloody and painful, which I would assume being eaten by birds is. There's two different stories about murdering another person. Let's get to sex. Multiple explicit scenes showing self abuse. That's what masturbation is, self abuse. A man fantasizes about fornicating with a mermaid and is shown close up touching her mermaid breasts.

[Mrs. P]

Oh.

[Unknown]

One sex scene with mermaid. A man is implied to be masturbating and bodily fluid is shown dripping down. A man says he would have sex with a steak. Now that, in fairness, I have. I have had a stake in my life once or twice. I said, you know, what can I tell you? I'd. That piece of meat.

[Mrs. P]

Well, before this, we were even discussing, like, what. What movies and things like that to possibly put all these lists. And then when I was downstairs, I was watching an interview with Superman. Yeah, the new Superman. And they're like, Nicholas Holtz in it. And I was like, oh, my God, I love Nicholas Hall. We love him in the Great.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And all these different things. And then you're like in the menu. That's one of your favorite movies.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And. And. And that is definitely a movie where somebody would say they'd fuck a steak.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I have the menu on here.

[Mrs. P]

You added on it. Okay. All right, go ahead. What do you got next?

[Unknown]

So then we're really just gonna. After the sex stuff or that it goes into nudity. Upper female nudity, mermaid's crotch, full male nudity shown from the side.

[Mrs. P]

And it's good. And it's good. The movie's Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe.

[Unknown]

And we all know about Willem Dafoe.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, we all know. We don't. Wait, this one we all know about Willem Dafoe. Ah, the devil's coming for you.

[Unknown]

Oh, I'm not gonna say that one. Extremely heavy alcohol use throughout. And many examples.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, they're drinking like. They're drinking like paint thinner at one point.

[Unknown]

Here we go. Next, comma, when the characters run out of alcohol, they drink what can be assumed to be fuel or kerosene mixed with honey. Yeah, yeah. That's why they're going so crazy. Then. Then there's a subcategory called Miscellaneous Immorality. And that's my new T shirt. Miscellaneous Immorality. Immoral content throughout. Examples of lying and deception running from the law. Crimes without punishment. Moral relativism throughout. There is no guide or compass for the characters and they do as they please. And what is the best thing for them at the time?

[Mrs. P]

I think a. I think a blank notebook. Yeah, like. Like a really nice like diary style one. That's a blank pages. And on the, on the front it says miscellaneous immorality on the front, trademarking it.

[Unknown]

Tonight.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, we gotta get this on. Listen, we're recording this on a Thursday. It drops on a Sunday. You got like three to days to go get this locked in. But yeah, my miscellaneous immorality is incredible.

[Unknown]

What's your next movie?

[Mrs. P]

What a pick. Just. I just want real quick, just one. Thank you. Good job.

[Unknown]

What a. I thought. I thought it was going to be a good one and I was like.

[Mrs. P]

You knocked it out of the park.

[Unknown]

With this one with William Defoe's dong.

[Mrs. P]

I'm going to read you the subtitle first and I want you to guess it based on just the subtitle. You ready? Stirring redemptive pro life action movie.

[Unknown]

Stirring redemptive pro life action movie.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Stirring redemptive pro life action movie.

[Unknown]

I can't think of any action movie that's pro life because people always die. So what is an action movie at its core? Yeah, I'm gonna be like gem. The gem Cartoon movie.

[Mrs. P]

No. What? No.

[Unknown]

I don't know. I'm thinking of.

[Mrs. P]

You can't guess what I would pick.

[Unknown]

What?

[Mrs. P]

It's Godzilla minus one. They said that Godzilla minus one is a pro life action movie.

[Unknown]

Wait, I thought that. Okay, I never saw this. But you saw this movie in the theater alone.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

You said this. I. Godzilla's are your favorite movie.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

So you went to see Godzilla alone and then you cried in the car after you left the movie theater.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

And then you came home and you couldn't even put into words what you're trying to explain to me about the movie.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

I had to wait, I think 48 hours before you could kind of give me a summary.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, they kept sobbing.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I kept the crying. Kept.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Because it's the greatest Godzilla movie ever made.

[Unknown]

I don't. But I don't remember in any of what you told me it was any how it could be pro life.

[Mrs. P]

So. So here's the thing. I think we're viewing the term pro life the way it's been used by the Christian right.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Mrs. P]

As being anti abortion.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's not. I think they mean pro, like affirming life and not being suicidal.

[Unknown]

God.

[Mrs. P]

Because the movie of Godzilla -1, the main character is a he. He was. What's the word I'm looking for? The planes in Kamakazi. Kamakazi pilot. He was a Kamakazi pilot who didn't complete his mission.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

And he has survivor's guilt throughout the entire movie. Movie. And a big overarching theme of it is that.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Is that there is this like thing about this. But let me read you the content from this one.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Dominant worldview and other worldview content slash elements. Because then eventually as we've gotten more to modern era, they break. Before it was just like this weird paragraph where everything. Now they break it up.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So it's like, it's a little bit better. So I'm sure when you were doing the. The Lighthouse.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's like it was easier.

[Unknown]

Exactly. It says like smoking, alcohol use.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, all those things are broke. They actually punch them out. But in the older ones they were just like. Here's a paragraph in there. Well, no nudity, no smoking at the end, kissing. So for worldview, strong redemptive worldview, which is true. With very strong moral pro life values and strong conservative, patriotic, anti statist values.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Which doesn't make sense, but. So they want to say it's patriotic because he. The main characters are protecting. Trying to protect Japan.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But they're anti statist because they're not yielding to the state for the protection. Got in this like really weird way. But a lot of like the movie is really tied up in like the fact that this is a country that just lost a world war.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And it has to become anti military and they can only have like the Japanese Defense Force. But they. They aren't there yet.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And so like it. It is like this band of heroes and like a scientist and some other people and the pilot himself, the kamikaze pilot, like has to like get behind a plane again and all these different things. The movie promotes sacrifice, forgiveness, protecting life service, family loving family relationships, the value of life service. And urges people to be self sufficient and take responsibility for their country instead of relying on the government.

[Unknown]

Oh my God.

[Mrs. P]

They're like, these are the positives.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Foul language. 1D word and 1H word.

[Unknown]

Word is H. Hell I think H is hell. I wish they would just write H E double hockey stick.

[Mrs. P]

That's the energy they bring or something. But like D. Can I tell you, when I said one D word, I think they mean damn. But I was like, when did Godzilla say dick? Like, that was immediately. I'm like, if you're talking about the D and it's a little. It's a lowercase D. I'm like you.

[Unknown]

I love that they lowercase all the bad words. Because only God can have a capital yes.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, I know. It's amazing. Violence, strong and sometimes intense against scary action. Violence.

[Unknown]

Well, because it's Godzilla.

[Mrs. P]

Because it's Godzilla. Includes large scale destruction from Godzilla knocking over buildings and stepping on people and things. And there's some blood and injury and death when people are eaten, stepped on or struck by Godzilla.

[Unknown]

Real quick, can you remind me what, what's our violence thing on this one?

[Mrs. P]

Okay, so on this one, language is light. Sex, none. Nudity, none. Violence, moderate.

[Unknown]

This is still moderate. The lizard giant is stepping on people.

[Mrs. P]

At one point, Godzilla picks up a train.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And like holds it like a nunchuck as people are falling out of it.

[Unknown]

What the fuck is high violence?

[Mrs. P]

And when he shoots. Can I tell you something? When he shoots his laser breath in this movie, it. It's a nuclear blast. And the blast, the blast zone. There's a scene where a character is reaching out as the shockwave hits and she's blown away from his hand in like a way that hurt me. Like, you know, at a level. Because it's like this is basically like his in movie wife.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

He's been like building a family with. It's a will they. Won't they? Can he get over this PTSD of the war? And she's like right there with him.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And she is ripped away by Godzilla. And Godzilla is like the personification of his shame. It's incredible. And in that moment, it's the most violent, shocking thing I've ever seen.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And like moderate. Moderate. But can I tell you, because here's the thing is like this movie, obviously it is a Japanese film with Japanese mentality. It isn't the only type of Godzilla. And what most people. Most people didn't see. Godzilla minus one. The only Godzilla movie to ever win an Oscar. Yeah, deservedly so. Most people have been watching the modern monster verse. Godzilla's right. So those are the ones that have Godzilla versus King Kong. They're the American made ones that had Bryan Cranston in them. And they have the girl from Stranger Things Millie, Bobby Brown. She's in them. So I picked my favorite of those.

[Unknown]

Hold on real quick. You didn't tell me the score of.

[Mrs. P]

Godzilla minus one because I was so mad about it. They gave Godzilla minus one a minus one. They gave Godzilla minus one to minus one. They did also give it four stars.

[Unknown]

Well, it's a cinema.

[Mrs. P]

They give it. It's a cinematic masterpiece. And they can't. They can't argue with the Oscars.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But it was. They said, this is the equivalent of Brokeback Mountain.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Now this next one is. I went with Godzilla, King of Monsters.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Because this is, to me, the best of the monsterverse Godzilla movies.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Now, on this one, they have the title, the subtitles. Sometimes you need a monster to save the day.

[Unknown]

Oh.

[Mrs. P]

Because this is a movie where Luigi. A Luigi.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Mrs. P]

This is the movie where Godzilla kills. He fights Ghidorah and he fights Rodan. And there is also Mothra is there. And Godzilla is declared the king of all of the Kaijus, all of the big monsters. They all get this one for worldview. Very mixed worldview with a strong pagan environmentalist worldview where creatures are to be worshiped and revered even above humans by some characters.

[Unknown]

Oh, yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Characters speak of bringing balance to nature and that the natural order requires Titans to rule over human humans. And a lot of this is implied because they keep as these Titans as Godzilla and other things keep appearing. They find ancient settlements and they're like, oh, well, back in the day, these guys have just been sleeping for a long time. This is what they used to view them as is like these gods and it's this whole stupid thing. But, like, they. They're taking huge offense to this.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

There are. There's fear mongering about poverty, overpopulation, and climate change.

[Unknown]

There's.

[Mrs. P]

There's brief references to Eastern religion, which, again, big. No, no.

[Unknown]

Fear mongering poverty, huh?

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, they're fear mongering poverty.

[Unknown]

Fear poverty.

[Mrs. P]

Well, okay. And. And can I tell you what the pure monger of poverty is? Is because in the first movie, Godzilla and the things he fights creates such a swath of destruction that people are trying to figure out how to survive inside the wreckage.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And Godzilla and the monsters themselves are a metaphor for climate change.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And with overpopulation, because the populations are moving into areas where the Titans are sleeping. And so that's waking them up, but in that, you end up with refugees from these things. And which is why they create this monarch organization, which is like international fema. It's a whole Deal. One or two references to evolution that they drove them crazy. But there's mixed. But mixed with strong moral themes of family.

[Unknown]

Oh, okay.

[Mrs. P]

And strong Christological references and symbols with crucifix crosses, short prayers, allusion to Godzilla being a savior, almost a Christ like figure.

[Unknown]

Oh, no.

[Mrs. P]

And themes of self sacrifice and redemption. Plus positive portrayals of America's and other military.

[Unknown]

No. So because Godzilla is propaganda for America in. In a Japanese cultural film, the American.

[Mrs. P]

Godzilla has positive views because the American military is there helping people. And try in the first one, especially in the Godzilla 2014.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's very like pro military, like almost to the level of Transformers.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because like Transformers, like our tax dollars paid for Transformers for sure. Because like a lot of those were like, listen, you want a Camaro? You want to hop in a Camaro that's also Bumblebee. Join the Marines. That's right. Everybody. Join the Marines. That APR. 19.3%. Oh, no, no.

[Unknown]

Oh no. Your girlfriend's going to get married real quick at Disney World with you.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, no. Wow. Her gums go on forever. Anyway, foul language, 21 obscenities. Which drives me crazy. I swear they're just sitting there clicking, not even watching the movie. Honestly, they have to have a counter.

[Unknown]

How much does this person get paid? Cuz like pay me to watch movies and hit a clicker on. Profanities.

[Mrs. P]

Now here's this.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Violence.

[Unknown]

Got it.

[Mrs. P]

Short monster mayhem with giant Titans that are often frightening. E. Frightening. Eating humans and stepping on them, destroying whole towns and most often fighting each other. One creature that has three heads has one of its heads bitten off. And many off screen deaths from the monsters. Humans are also shot by each other with some blood. And a man has shrapnel lodged in his leg. Sex.

[Unknown]

None.

[Mrs. P]

A reference is made to Titans reproducing with a short video of Titans mating blurred out on a screen.

[Unknown]

They blurted out.

[Mrs. P]

It's a dumb joke. Joke.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Now here's. This is the part that gets me. Got it. Nudity. No nudity. Smoking out of drug abuse. None. Alcohol use. Though there is a note.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Because it's referenced that a man became an alcoholic after losing his son.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Who was stepped on by Godzilla. And they're like, I don't know. Listen. That's terrible.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And that same action that happened.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

That. That's in Inside a Miscellaneous Immorality.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because divorce broke up that family.

[Unknown]

Oh.

[Mrs. P]

Because listen, he. They watched their child be killed.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

In a Titan attack.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And he started drinking because he couldn't handle It.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And they obviously got divorced because. So they get divorced. And according to these psychopaths, like that's not a good enough excuse.

[Unknown]

Yeah, that's.

[Mrs. P]

That's absolutely not.

[Unknown]

Love you.

[Mrs. P]

Now this is the part where I lost my mind.

[Unknown]

Okay. Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Under more detail, other arguments showing that Godzilla is a Christological symbol is that he's called a king because Christ is king. That's what Nazis yell on Twitter. Yeah. And while calling itself Mecca Hitler.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

We didn't even cover how Twitter is calling itself Mecca Hitler now. He, Godzilla dies and goes into the depths of earth in a sh. Like place, which I don't know why they're using the Hebrew for hell. Yeah. And then he goes down there and he is resurrected. And then he defeats the evil false God because in the movie Ghidorah, my favorite Kaiju, which is this one right here, the three headed gold dragon King Ghidorah is implied to actually be from space. And it throws off the balance of all the natural earth born titans. So therefore it's a false God that has fallen to earth, a Lucifer, if you will. And also him being. Going down and being resurrected. Can we explain that? He goes to Atlantis. Godzilla in this movie goes to Atlantis because he gets so badly hurt.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And they're like, we need to recharge them as fast as possible.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

So the main character, this, this Japanese scientist brings a nuke.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Into Atlantis.

[Unknown]

Sure.

[Mrs. P]

Puts his hand on Godzilla and it's like, get him, get him, big guy. Basically, like, he's like, oh, you're the best speech.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And then nukes himself. He lets off a nuke. He nukes Godzilla.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

And then Godzilla is like supercharged by the nuclear power and then pops up and then defeats Ghidorah. But they're like, yeah, that's just like Jesus. Jesus was hit by a nuke.

[Unknown]

The Roman Emperor. Known. Known superpower.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. They also point out that there's a lot of crosses on churches, okay. That are seen when especially Rodin flies by. But like, those churches are destroyed by Rodin because Rodin is a firebird that lives inside of. Of a volcano. And that volcano, I think is in like Brazil. So it's just destroying Latin America. They're like. And this is literally as deep as these Christian nationalists can go. They're sitting there and they go, huh, huh? They do that Leonardo DiCaprio meme of.

[Unknown]

Like, oh.

[Mrs. P]

There it is. I see it. There's a cross. That's what they do. At one point somebody says, my God, have mercy. And the Christian symbolism is slightly uncomfortable, especially given Godzilla's early history and movies as a villain. But this new series of Godzilla movies is clearly taking the route that Godzilla is a hero or savior. In the end, the movie has a very mixed worldview, with prominent paganism, environmentalism, false religion. But there's also some strong biblical symbolism and moral redemptive themes about family, self sacrifice, redemption, and even a message against divorce.

[Unknown]

Why? It's not. It's not that, is it? The message is that guy whose kid got stomped.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. But there's a whole. Because the family kind of comes back together. By the way, the mom is also the one that releases the demon, that releases King Ghidorah because she believes the word. She is like the mom in this movie at one point loses her mind.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And basically becomes a, like, Seventh Day Adventist. Like, I need to bring around the end of the world.

[Unknown]

Oh, so she is a Christian nationalist.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. She believes that Ghidorah and the other titans need to be released to bring balance back and that her son died because the world is out of balance.

[Unknown]

She's like, no, they should have Israel and we should back Israel because then.

[Mrs. P]

Then, then, then the end time will happen, and then I'll be ra. And then I'll be back with my boy. Is kind of like what's implied.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Both parents featured in the movie have to redeem themselves and overcome their grief for the sake of their daughter, Millie. Bobby Brown.

[Unknown]

Oh, okay. So this is all. Okay, got it. Yeah. Hear me out.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Let's take a little break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about my favorite fudgeing horror movie. And. And I got. I got big thoughts, and you're big thoughts.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. Okay. We'll be right back after this.

[Chris Gethard]

Beautiful Anonymous changes each week. It defies genres and expectations. For example, our most recent episode, I talked to a woman who survived a murder attempt by her own son. But just the week before that, we just talked the whole time about Star Trek. We've had other recent episodes about sexting in languages that are not your first language or what it's like to get weight loss surgery. It's unpredictable, it's real, it's honest. It's raw. Get Beautiful Anonymous wherever you listen to podcasts.

[Mrs. P]

And we're back. And Mrs. P, you have your favorite movie you want to tell me about.

[Unknown]

Okay, so listen, the menu. The actor came up and I was like, oh, right, the menu. I love that movie. And then I immediately ran upstairs because I was like, I need to know what the movie Guide thinks about the menu.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And so let me tell you something. Something. The little summary thing at the top. Excessive and ultimately unappetizing.

[Mrs. P]

I.

[Unknown]

Okay. Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. Catty.

[Unknown]

Okay. The. The menu. Okay. We got our four things. Language, violence, sex and nudity. Right. Nudity. None. Sex, light, violence. Heavy.

[Mrs. P]

This is the heavy violence.

[Unknown]

Heavy.

[Mrs. P]

Wait, wait, wait, wait. This is the heavy violence.

[Unknown]

This is heavy violence.

[Mrs. P]

This is heavy violence.

[Unknown]

The menu is heavy violence. This is above genocide. This is above Godzilla. Godzilla stomping babies. This is. This is more violent. The menu is more violent.

[Mrs. P]

I guess. I guess what it is in the reviewer's mind is maybe because there's one on one violence and that you can actually. And because we. All of the characters are. Are fleshed out people.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And most of the actors are white.

[Unknown]

Oh. Oh, okay. Yep. The Menu is a comical horror movie about a young couple, Tyler and Margot, who traveled to an isolated island to dine in an exclusive restaurant. The chef is a renowned culinary artist obsessed with his craft. Taylor has been obsessed over the chef in his food for some time and tries to get Margot to see how special their experience will be. The meal begins in a normal fashion. However, the guest guests quickly realize their host is cooking up something sinister. When a man commits suicide as part of the main course.

[Mrs. P]

It's not the main course. They're wrong. It's like an appetizer.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's a multi course meal, but it's like part of the appetizer is the man commits suicide that then starts to build from there. Yeah, they got that wrong.

[Unknown]

They got it wrong.

[Mrs. P]

They're already wrong.

[Unknown]

The menu is a unique horror movie.

[Mrs. P]

It's not a horror movie. It's not a horror movie. It's a suspense. It's a dark comedy. It's not a horror movie.

[Unknown]

To me, it's the dark comedy. It's not at one point that I think horror or even suspensefully, I was. I giggle like a mad woman during this movie.

[Mrs. P]

You giggled. You giggled in a way that made me uncomfortable.

[Unknown]

The chicken scissors scene.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Oh, so funny.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So anyway, it says the menu is a unique horror movie with fantastic performances. The music blends well with the punchy editing and cinematography, which mirror the technical proficiency of the film food preparation on screen. This results in a buildup of suspense with satisfying payoffs, whether comically or scary. However, the movie's tasteful presentation is marred by excessive violence and foul language. There is little to no moral substance in any of the characters, motives, values or desires. But that's the menu's main point.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. That's 100%. He's murdering bad people.

[Unknown]

Even. Even so, media wise, viewers probably will find the menu ultimately unappetizing. Also, the menu is given 4 stars for entertainment quality. They admit it's a great film. Yeah, it's a negative three for family content, of course. But also, we are. We are in heavy violence here.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Okay, I'm gonna do the quick content review and then. Okay, ready? Quick content review is. We got a pop. Pop. A ppa. Ppa, BB LL V, V, V, A, AM I don't know what they mean anymore. Dominant worldview is strongly pagan worldview with some moral commentary on how culture often values that which actually is empty and can satisfy. Plus two minor references to God. There is foul language. There are at least 78 obscenities and more than 50 F words. Six Jesus profanities and one goddamn profanity. That's in capitals, by the way.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, but a gd they hit us with a GD this time.

[Unknown]

Six light profanities and a vulgar phrase.

[Mrs. P]

Okay, for violence also, but real quick, it's about a kitchen.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So to me, like, you know what the worst part is like? As you were at the foul language, I was like, oh, they don't curse in that movie.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

It's just.

[Unknown]

It's one of those things ever. It's so quiet.

[Mrs. P]

They just keep going. Yes, Chef.

[Unknown]

Yes, Chef.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, Chef.

[Unknown]

Yes, Chef. Oh, God. It. Listen, any person that listens to this podcast or if you're watching on YouTube and you have ever worked in the restaurant industry, please watch the menu. It is. Will give you the giggles about the restaurant industry in a way. There is so much catharsis in this film.

[Mrs. P]

Here's what I'll say. If you can't get through the show the Bear because it's too accurate to a life that you. You've lived.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Watch the menu.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Watch the menu.

[Mrs. P]

The menu is. The menu is written the way Inglorious Bastards was written, where you just. It just. It gets back at every customer you've ever had, every manager you've ever had. It's a. It's a. Ray finds is incredible in the movie.

[Unknown]

Incredible.

[Mrs. P]

And Nicholas H. Not since the.

[Unknown]

The one we. He just did about the Pope. Conclave.

[Mrs. P]

Conclave. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a conclave. It's a conclave level. I want. You want masterpiece. Can I tell you something?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

I want to see a conclave of cars. It would just be called. It would just be called the garage.

[Unknown]

Oh, no, we're having a.

[Mrs. P]

We're having a garage.

[Unknown]

It's time for a garage.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Violence. Several violent, shocking scenes, including a man committing suicide as part of his, quote, dish by shooting himself in the head. Another man hangs himself off. Screen scene, a woman is stabbed in the neck with a kitchen knife. In a very bloody scene, a group of people are burned alive. A man's finger is cut off with a kitchen knife. There is slapping, hitting, and other stabbings.

[Mrs. P]

Yep.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Yeah. And you're like, it's just a brunch shift.

[Mrs. P]

My favorite. My favorite is. Is the. The. This note here about alcohol use.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Where it just says wine is served throughout the movie. Yeah. It's a restaurant. Oh, my God. And the miscellaneous. There's no smoking or drugs. The miscellaneous immorality is that the lead male character is often unkind towards the lead female character.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Well, that's also that point goes into sex, where sex says none depicted. No implied sex scenes, but there are references to characters wanting to have sex. And it's revealed that the lead female character is a sex worker and a married man is outed as having an affair.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So the lead male characters unkind to our female lead, who we find out is a sex worker.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And also, can I applaud this website for using more PC verbiage by calling her a sex worker instead of a prostitute or something demeaning.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

This is woke, I think.

[Mrs. P]

Did we get. Did we get wokeness dabbled in our Christian nationalism?

[Unknown]

I don't know.

[Mrs. P]

Maybe they've watched so many woke movies that they're. It's accidentally, like, slowly getting woke. It's slowly getting in there. Just a little bit. Mrs. Pig.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

I don't know if you know this, but our own Mr. Third gave us a quick list, and I pulled just. I just want you to hear what he presented as his three favorites.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Okay, got it.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. First one, he hit us with a classic, and he went deep with this one, Singing in the Rain.

[Unknown]

Singing in the Rain. A family classic.

[Mrs. P]

A family classic. It's a plus one for family content. Four stars. Entertainment quality, very strong moral worldview. There's a lot of comedic violence in there, including a man charging a man with a spear. But, you know, that's. In general, it's pretty good.

[Unknown]

I want to admit immediately that I. I've never seen that movie. I thought you were talking about Tom Holland on Lip Sync Battle.

[Mrs. P]

No, you thought I was talking about Tom Holland singing Umbrella by Rihanna.

[Unknown]

And then he. He still starts with Singing in the Rain.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, he starts with Singing in the Rain. And then it moves into umbrella. I love that lip sync. I've seen that multiple times.

[Unknown]

Everybody has.

[Mrs. P]

Everybody. And you have to see Zendaya do her performance before his as Bruno Mars. Yes. Because Zendaya also crushes it.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mrs. P]

As Bruno Mars.

[Unknown]

And then, and you're all, you're thinking, you're like, oh, he's gonna beat this.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. And then Spider man does a full drag performance in. In the rain.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

With a full backup dance and does like flips and shit. Well, of course he's Spider Man. He's Spider Man.

[Unknown]

It's not cuz he's Spider Man. It's cuz he's that kid from the little Irish dancing movie.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, yeah. Was that actually him?

[Unknown]

That's him, yeah. He's a professional dancer his whole life.

[Mrs. P]

I understand that.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But that's also Spider Man. Okay, okay, okay.

[Unknown]

Anyway, so singing second movie.

[Mrs. P]

Good, good choice. His second movie. You might remember this one. The subtitle is an epic challenge for a small Creature. It's Lord of the Rings.

[Unknown]

Oh, Lord of the Rings. I thought it was gonna be the mouse chef movie.

[Mrs. P]

No, not Ratatouille.

[Unknown]

That's an epic challenge for a small creature.

[Mrs. P]

That is true. No, he picked Lord of the Rings. Small creature is Liv Tyler.

[Unknown]

Liv Tyler. What do you mean she's the main character? How is she a small creature?

[Mrs. P]

He specifically picked Fellowship of the Ring as his favorite. But I want to point out on this one.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Language, none. Sex, none. Nudity, none. Violence, heavy.

[Unknown]

Oh, okay, we got it.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. He gave it a minus one family content four star as entertainment quality. And this one, though, I actually, I do want to put do a little pop out on this in more detail because you would think they'd have a problem with all the magic in this one.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But they go into actual theologians in the more detail to argue that Lord of the Rings is a Christian movie. Well, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor James Parker notes, people say you have wizards in Lord of the Rings and you also have have wizards in Harry Potter. So what's the difference? Gandalf the wizard in Lord of the Rings is an angelic. He is being created by the one true God who is kind of an archangel who is sent to help people accomplish the will of the one true God. So when they do magic in Lord of the Rings, it's not magic at all, but it is instead the angelic being which has certain abilities to do things that non angelic beings cannot do. In contrast, quote in Harry Potter, the wizard is a human being who is supernaturally empowered to perform magic tricks that may be used for selfish and evil purposes, says Southern Baptist Theological Seminary professor James Parker. Quote, this is where it could get very serious and very dark. He said, adding that quote. A lot of information in Harry Potter leads him to conclude that Harry himself is buying into the dark side and into the occult. Now, this is, again, very funny, okay. Because I think this is switched now. I think since this was written, this has switched.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because Lord of the Rings is now viewed as woke because as we talked about in prior episodes, black dwarves and black elves exist in the Rings of Power movies.

[Unknown]

Got it.

[Mrs. P]

Right.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And Harry Potter is now no longer considered demonic because J.K. rowling lives in a castle full of mold and is the ultimate world turf. Who is funding so many weird, crazy organizations, many of which are aligned with Christian nationalism.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So I think much like Mormons suddenly being able to drink Coca Cola because they were left a lot of stock inside of a Coca Cola company that the Mormon church can use.

[Unknown]

Yep, yep, yep.

[Mrs. P]

I think that Christian nationalists are now allowed to watch Harry Potter because also, if they get to the last movie, they discover that Harry Potter grows up to be a cop.

[Unknown]

Yep. A cap.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. Now, I want you to know now, we've gone over his first two choices and very good choices. Mr. Third.

[Unknown]

Very good.

[Mrs. P]

But it wouldn't be your name, Mr. Third without getting to the third choice. Okay, now, Mr. Third, do you have anything to say for yourself before we announce what this is?

[Unknown]

It's a good movie.

[Mrs. P]

Okay. The subtitle of it is Lifestyles of the Nude and Immoral.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

Because you chose the Mark Wahlberg film Boogie Nights.

[Unknown]

So wait, we got Singing in the Rain, Lord of the Rings, and Boogie Nights.

[Mrs. P]

Boogie Nights.

[Unknown]

A Renaissance man. Mr. He is.

[Mrs. P]

Language heavy.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Violence moderate.

[Unknown]

Moderate. Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Sex heavy.

[Unknown]

Yep.

[Mrs. P]

Nudity heavy. Minus four for family content. But three stars. And this one. This one really blew me away. I'm not gonna go into all the content because. Watch. Boogie Nights is a great movie. If you're an adult, you should watch the movie. It is actually very, very good. It's just an excellent 114obscenities.

[Unknown]

That's the. That's the most so far.

[Mrs. P]

I think that's the most so far.

[Unknown]

Many had the highest before, but I.

[Mrs. P]

Think now Boogie Nights, Boogie Nights has the most. You picked the worst film in the history. History of Christian Nationalism and movieguide.com. however, I just want to get into more detail because I think this was written near when the movie came out.

[Unknown]

Oh, okay.

[Mrs. P]

Because this is the more detail. Quote, critics are raving about this movie, and it's getting some serious promotion on TV and radio. While not titillating.

[Unknown]

Oh, it's titillating.

[Mrs. P]

It actually shows the extreme irony of these people trying to demonstrate their legitimacy and shows the horror of their lifestyle through the movie. Though the movie contains excessive sex and violence, it is not pornography in the sense that it's meant to sexually arouse the viewer. In many cases, it disgusts the viewer. Nevertheless, Boogie Nights may receive the same acclaim or even greater acclaim as the People versus Larry Flint. That movie, covering a taboo topic, was only mildly recognized at the Oscars, but it may have paved the way for Boogie Nights, a brazen and shameless picture.

[Unknown]

But that's the point of the movie. It's supposed to show you that it's a empty, disgusting thing of this lifestyle and, like, the horrors of it. And the irony that the horrors of it, like, that's the point of the movie.

[Mrs. P]

Yes. And they're saying that's why they give it three stars, but minus four.

[Unknown]

Oh, my God.

[Mrs. P]

Because they're like, we shouldn't. You shouldn't see what they do in this movie.

[Unknown]

I want to know.

[Mrs. P]

But we want, like.

[Unknown]

Like, I want to know who the reviewer is, because he's like. Like, it's not meant to sexually arouse you in many cases. And then he saw Heather Graham and he was like, well, yeah, in some cases, maybe.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Also, he's like. He's mentioning here there's homosexual advances. I don't remember that. I was too busy rewinding to Heather Graham.

[Unknown]

Wasn't it? Peewee Herman was in it, right?

[Mrs. P]

No, he's in Blow.

[Unknown]

That was blow.

[Mrs. P]

The gentleman who died of an overdose was. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Philip Seymour Hoffman. Okay, there we go. Yeah, that's right. That's right.

[Unknown]

See, I forgot this. Blow. I was like, cocaine.

[Mrs. P]

Can I tell you? Can I tell you? I. I didn't remember. Philip Seymour Hoffman's in that movie. I didn't remember it all. I. I can tell you right now, the only thing, only three people I remember that movie are Mark Wahlberg because he's the main character, Burt Reynolds because he plays the big director, and Heather Graham because I was a teenager and it's Heather Graham.

[Unknown]

Also, Julianne Moore is in that movie, and she's so beautiful.

[Mrs. P]

Julian Moore is incredible in that movie. J.C. riley, Don. Don Cheadle.

[Unknown]

It's an incredible lineup.

[Mrs. P]

Lou Goosebands in that movie. Yeah, no, it's an incredible cast. The way People talk about. What's that 70s movie with Parker Posey that you mentioned? All the days and confused.

[Unknown]

Confused.

[Mrs. P]

The way people talk about Dazed and Confused. Boogie Nights is my Dazed and Confused.

[Unknown]

Okay. Days and confused was when I was.

[Mrs. P]

Much younger, like this Harley's actually in the movie. Okay, wait, I just said.

[Unknown]

Okay, you know what?

[Mrs. P]

I just said too much about myself. Myself. I just said too much about myself. Mrs. P. Can you explain to me how we even found this website?

[Unknown]

You got to pivot. He's got to pivot.

[Mrs. P]

I'm. Listen, I am pivoting like Hakeem Jeffries, trying to not talk about apac. Okay, I. All right.

[Unknown]

This is how we got here. Right. So I. What happened is, is it was announced there's this lawsuit that was filed by the national religious Broadcasters against the irs.

[Mrs. P]

Okay, the national religious broadcasters.

[Unknown]

The nrb. Not the nra. The nrb, yeah, the next one.

[Mrs. P]

What's crazy is I thought when you said nrb, the. I thought you would think of the national labor Relations Board.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And lrb. But no, it's a National religious broadcasters.

[Unknown]

Got it. So the NRB filed a case, a lawsuit against the IRS trying to sue them over the Johnson amendment. Amendment.

[Mrs. P]

What's the Johnson amendment?

[Unknown]

Let me tell you. All right, so the Johnson amendment is a provision in the U. S. Tax code that prohibits all 513c non profit organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Lyndon B. Johnson was, when he was a senator in Texas, he is the one that wrote this draft of this law. And basically it makes it so that non profits and churches can't be political. Political. Right.

[Mrs. P]

Well, they can't be directly.

[Unknown]

Directly.

[Mrs. P]

They can be directly political.

[Unknown]

They shouldn't be is what I'm going to say right now.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, no, they shouldn't. They have been.

[Unknown]

They have been.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And so basically what happened is on Monday they announced, the IRS announced that in a court filing that from now on, houses of worship, quote, in good faith, can speak to their congregation through the customary channels about matters of faith in connection with religious services, concerning elections, electoral politics viewed through the lens of religious faith. So basically from now on, the IRS is no longer going to enforce the Johnson amendment. Not that they ever did. When I looked it up. They've only enforced it like twice. And like really, truly enforced it. And the one time was a bunch of people came out against Bill Clinton and it got enforced then. And then a few churches that have. Have spoken out really heavily. They also. But they only got a pat on the wrist, like, or a slap on the wrist.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Like, no, it wasn't even a slap, it was a pat about that. So like it's never truly been enforced, but as of Monday, truly the separation of church and state is really over.

[Mrs. P]

And what it really comes down to is the Johnson Amendment kept preachers from getting up during their sermons.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And directly saying, vote for Donald Trump. Trump.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

They would always. I mean they were already, they were saying it without ever directly saying it before. And you couldn't make. You couldn't. And you could do that, but you couldn't have. Your, your building couldn't be tax exempt.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Well, there's two parts to it. There's the verbal. So the getting up on the pulpit and saying it.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

And then also they're not supposed to fundraise for politics. They're not supposed to become.

[Mrs. P]

Oh, the, the evangelical arm.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Well, like, what's the word for like CPAC is a, like fundraiser. A fundraiser. Like the way that the, they have the money that they all get together, whatever.

[Mrs. P]

A bundler.

[Unknown]

Yes. The. So the churches aren't supposed to do that either.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So that's the big fear of the Johnson Amendment is that they don't want them to become these powerhouses of money towards political candidates. In a way, they already are. That's the whole thing. It's like they already are.

[Mrs. P]

Well, and that's the reason why. And the thing is, is that's why the Christian right chose abortion.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Abortion and gay marriage, where there are two wedges issues for the longest time. Because then they could point to that and then Republicans could then repeat the code. Even Republicans didn't give a shit about abortion, could still say like, I'm pro life, which would mean I'm pro this thing over here. And then the preacher, under this rule, the preacher or the priest or whatever during their sermon could say, oh, you know, I'll make sure when you go into the voting booth. Booth, you make sure you vote along with God's conscience and only vote for pro life politicians. Yeah. Now you could have a priest get up and say, on, on Tuesday you will vote for Donald Trump.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

On Tuesday you will vote for J.D. vance.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

On these dates you will vote for these people. We've had in the past in New York especially and other places, you have always had politicians go and give speeches from the pulpit or speak to church congregations. That's never been against the rule.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

But really also when it comes down to this fundraising directly, because some of these churches, they have millions of dollars. Imagine somebody, the level of A Joel Olsteen. Joel Osteen's one of the reasons Joel Osteen stayed out of religion. I mean, say that of politics, directly out of politics, is because he was always worried about affecting his tax.

[Unknown]

Yeah. He doesn't want to affect taxes, but.

[Mrs. P]

Now they're saying that he can do it.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

So now suddenly, out of nowhere, what if Joel Olsteen just decides to really turn on his force.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Of his massive congregation. You got people like. I mean, I know it's a TV show. The Righteous Gemstones.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Them turning on. But the thing that everybody's leaving out here, the big dog that were none of us, the two big dogs we're not talking about are literally the Catholic and Mormon churches.

[Unknown]

I want to tell you something. The Catholics have actually come out and said that they're not go. That they don't. The, the, the. From the Pope and the bishops and the cardinals, they, they released a statement years ago.

[Mrs. P]

Under this Pope.

[Unknown]

Yeah, under this Pope.

[Mrs. P]

Under this pope.

[Unknown]

I don't think he will. I think that if the previous pope.

[Mrs. P]

Didn'T do it, I'm just gonna say, under this Pope, they're saying they're not gonna do it anyway because the Pope is infallible and things can change. And in the past, we have had bishops in American bishops who have refused to give communion to politicians for being pro choice. Famously, Nancy Pelosi, who be there was like the bishop over in California and she got on a plane and she flew to Rome and she got the communion from the Pope. Because, listen, I don't like me and Nancy Pelosi sometimes, but there are times where she is that. Okay.

[Unknown]

She is petty.

[Mrs. P]

That.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

When it comes down. And that's. And can I tell you, that's why I don't like Hakeem Jeffries. Yeah, that's why I don't like him. Because Hakeem Jeffries would just take a weird cuck picture holding a fucking tiny baseball bat and then give an eight hour speech while Nancy Pelosi would have got. When she tore the fucking thing. Like, yeah, she did some performative shit. But while she. Every time she was doing performative shit, there was also still three wheels spinning in the background and she was fundraising and she was doing some insider trading on that shit on the side.

[Unknown]

Obviously.

[Mrs. P]

Obviously.

[Unknown]

Anyway. Okay, okay. So anyway, the IRS thing happens on Monday and I was like, this is interesting. I want to read into that.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So of course I start looking at lawsuits because as many listeners know, as a paralegal, I love reading a Legal document.

[Mrs. P]

Yep.

[Unknown]

And I was like this. National religious broadcasters. Who are these people?

[Mrs. P]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So I started looking at who this group is. And when I was looking at who. Because again, when you're looking at a nonprofit, because they're a nonprofit that are suing the irs, you. I always look at their board of directors. You gotta look at the board of directors to figure out who somebody is when they're a nonprofit and, like, what the mission statement is. And when I got to the board of directors page, I'm, like, going through it, and one of the people is this guy, Robert Baer, the CEO of Movie Guide. And I was like, what is Movie Guide?

[Mrs. P]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Unknown]

And how does this play into the separation of church and state through taxes? And then I went on the movie guide website, and it immediately told me that some movie. I forgot movie. It was like a negative two. And I was like, oh, it was like this. The police dog cartoons. The Paw Patrol.

[Mrs. P]

Yeah, Paw Patrol.

[Unknown]

Paw Patrol was like, plus one. And I was like, okay, what's that mean? And then next was Poker Face. And it was like, negative two. And I was like, I don't know what the score is. What is this? What are we talking about? And then I started diving into the website, and then I came downstairs and started yelling at you that this movie guide was crazy. Crazy. So this really all started because on Monday, the separation of church and state thing with the taxes, and then I found the movie guide, and now we're here.

[Mrs. P]

Can I tell you just to just. Just to bring the beginning of this. The show, to the very end?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

What I want to say is I did just open up the review for Superman.

[Unknown]

Okay.

[Mrs. P]

And I had. Because I had to look at this point, I needed to know.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

And I want you to know they gave. For family content, Superman's A minus 2. Oh. For moderate violence and heavy lift language. They say 21 obscenities. But again, these are psychopaths obscenities. But I scrolled all the way down as I was going through sex. No sex scenes, but there's some kissing. Okay, whatever.

[Unknown]

Sure.

[Mrs. P]

But miscellaneous immorality for this one, let me tell you.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Villain admits to being envious.

[Unknown]

And villain not envy.

[Mrs. P]

And villain falsely and publicly accuses Superman of having evil motives and even of having a secret harem of enslaved women. And now can I tell you something? I want to see this movie. And now I'm like, I gotta see this movie. I. I want to see Superman. I also am excited because of Fantastic Four. Fantastic Four. When I was younger, was my favorite superhero group. So with that.

[Unknown]

Yeah, Mrs. P. Okay.

[Mrs. P]

What a ride we've taken today. And just to remind everybody, we got to here.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Mrs. P]

Because the IRS changed a rule.

[Unknown]

That's what happened. That's how the. That is the mission statement of too many.

[Mrs. P]

That is the mission statement.

[Unknown]

Open up something. And then suddenly I'm 17 tabs away and I'm like, why the Would poker face be minus two?

[Mrs. P]

Exactly. So with that, everybody, we want to thank all of our listeners in the comments.

[Unknown]

Yes, I want you to leave comments, comments. Write your favorite movie number one.

[Mrs. P]

Yes.

[Unknown]

Also write miscellaneous immorality.

[Mrs. P]

Yes, write miscellaneous immorality. And then tell us your favorite movie down in the comments. And maybe we'll do this again someday.

[Unknown]

We might have to.

[Mrs. P]

We might come back. This might be a recurring thing where we come back and check on the. The morality of our favorite films. But with that, remember Godzilla minus one got a minus one.
