Eli Bosnick, Heath Enwright, and Noah Lugeons are hosts of a podcast called "God Awful Movies," which skewers the hideously bad (and unintentionally funny) religious films produced by God's public relations department here on earth.
Seth Andrews joins the GAM team to examine - and skewer - three specific religious movies:
1) A Matter of Faith
2) If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?
3) International Guerrillas

"Watching Christian movies is like watching your grandma fall down the stairs. NOOOOOOOO!". LMAO
i guess im randomly asking but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Ibrahim Watson instablaster :)
@Eric John thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Eric John It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Ibrahim Watson No problem =)
This is the episode that got me listening to God Awful Movies....love these guys. Fricking hilarious. Some of their stuff is so funny I've had to pull over while driving....Ive been laughing that much.
It was The Genesis for me too...I listen with headphones on...and people look at me funny when I'm dying of laughter!!!
I've met Eli, nice guy. I laughed so hard at: "Then it's infinity"
2024 and I still love GAM! They deserve way more subscribers!
"Rapture fetish" is a good term to describe some of the Christian movies.
I imagine Nicolas Cage looks over these scripts and thinks, "Wow, this sounds good. I should be in this."
*"Robbing a ketchup factory..."*
OMG I laughed so hard😂😂😂😂😂
holy shit! "how many fingers am holding behind my head." "I have no idea." "Then it's infinity."
This was epic, guys! Eli's exuberant descriptions were easily on par with a Patton Oswalt stand up special. My must-watch list has now been massively expanded. Today is indeed a good day, with no fatalities by car necessary. Keep up the excellent work!
God's Not Dead, He Was Never Alive
#PuzzleInAThunderstorm
It even matches the melody
I was just going to make that same comment and then I saw yours. Good stuff!
In fact, the declaration conveys misunderstanding.
@@Dragoderian what is misunderstood, is that all of the gods, from the various religions of the earth were created by mankind...They are all imaginary figures who never existed. Therefore they are not dead, they were never alive to start with.
talk about a horrible Christian movie Fireproof
I'd love them to discuss the "Jesus camp" documentary if they haven't already.
Just checked out god awful movies podcast and I am addicted. Thank you for hosting them.
This episode of TTA turned me on to the GAMcast and The Scathing Atheist. Thank you, Seth!
Love these light-hearted episodes. Maybe it's cause once you hear all the arguments you just want to move on to something fun.
Since stumbling onto their "Scathing Atheist" podcast last year, Eli's now a regular there, too -- and his contributions are hilarious. TTA, GAM and SA are my regular fare each week. Having my favorite podcasters on a single show was an unexpected "dream team" moment. Thanks for having them on, Seth.
Oh man! There is so much I want to say right now about this episode!!! I can't believe that others were traumatized by "Thief in the Night" too! My mom joined a Christian cult, and every year they would play this for all the kids (they owned the school we went to as well). It absolutely terrified me!!! I'm only 32 minutes into this podcast, but holy shit! I'm so glad that someone else out there knows what that was like. And the twist to all this is that we're Jewish - It's a long and very bizarre story, a very strange and bizarre story. Thanks for this one Seth, it's fantastic so far.
Ooh, now I want to hear about this! If you wouldn't mind sharing some more?
Thanks,. I'll have to give you a really short version, at least for now.
I was born in Israel in 1974. My parents decided to move to the US when I was two. My parents weren't very religious, but we followed some basic traditions like most Jews do.
I have three younger siblings born in Texas. Over the years my parents were not getting along to say the least.
My mother had spoken with some Christian fundamentalists, Pentecostals. They were members of a small church in Chicago. I was ten years old when my mother told me we were all going on vacation for the weekend to Corpus Christi. It ended up being a trick to get me to go with her, because she knew I was very close to my dad and wouldn't voluntarily leave him.
We arrived in Chicago 22 hours later and went straight into a church, it was July of 1984. It was headed by an old Czechoslovakian pastor and his wife, and I can still remember how fucking messed up what I saw that night in that church was. It was about 300 people screaming and shouting like they were possessed. I was terrified, and had no clue what was going on. This church was as fanatical and controlling as they come.
Fast-forward a year and we were going to the church six times a week, weren't allowed to miss a single service or they send people to your house, shit like that.
The church owned the school we went to, so the indoctrination was around the clock. Couldn't have a phone, no TV, no radio, just a miserable way to live. I really got into the whole Christian thing, and I took it very seriously. I was in constant fear of the rapture, because I never really felt that I was "changed" like they claimed I would be, even though I was the most dedicated kid you would ever see. The fear was real and it was constant, but it came to an end one day after two years of living there.
There was a knock on the door of our tiny one-bedroom apartment with all five of us living in it. I heard my mom screaming, and my little sister who was four came running, crying into the bedroom where I was eating a bowl of spaghetti-o's.
Suddenly I see my dad, and he tells me he came to get me out of there. By this time I was convinced by the church and my mom that he was the devil and I was absolutely mortified. He had one guy tie up my mom, and another guy grabbed me in one arm and my sister in the other. My other brother and sister got away.
Within a week we were in Israel. I remember trying to stay a Christian for a while, even with my dad really hating it because he felt it had destroyed our family. I lived my teenage years in Jerusalem, and let go of religion forever.
My teenage years were very difficult, that's a whole other story in itself. I finally came back to the US, to my mother about five years after, and I've been here since. I was in Israel when the first Intifada (Arab-uprising) broke-out, and it was a scary time, because we lived in an area that was in the midst of a lot of the terror attacks. I have a lot of stories from that time too.
Anyways, this is as short as I'm capable of making the story, and obviously there is so so much more, but time and space is limited.
This is actually the first time I've ever told anyone in I don't know how long, and I've definitely never shared it on the internet. Hope it was worth the read. Peace.
I was rapt. Thanks for sharing. So many wrongs. Hope you have, to the extent possible, put it behind you. Glad you got some relief from this coverage of the films.
You should check out the God Awful Movies podcast. Same guys also do Scathing Atheist and (currently in short hiatus) The Skeptic Rats. You can find GAMcast here on YT and on...libsyn? SA, here on YT, under Noah Lugeons. Also at the eponymous website.
Listen to the diatribes! a 5 minute Op-Ed piece in each episode (and separate clips on YT)
Thanks Bruce. I went to check out the God Awful Movies podcasts right after watching Seth's video, and listened to God's not Dead 2. It was absolutely hilarious! I mean it's seriously funny stuff!
After that I checked to see if "A Thief in the Night" was on YT and sure enough it was. I watched it! It brought back some strange feelings. That song in the beginning hit me like a ton of lead. It's actually a pretty good, doomy song!
I'm gonna check out and likely sub to The Skeptic Rats and Scathing Atheist. I know I've heard those names before. Thanks for all the recommendations. I'm always looking for new, good stuff.
TheLacedaemonian300 you're very welcome. Glad to have you aboard. Some segments of SA are posted here too. Check out the diatribes.
It's so cool to SEE Noah, Eli, and Heath. I've been listening to them for a long time now.
Being forced to watch Fireproof in a anger management class violated my 8th amendment rights. I would rather do a week in jail than watch that abomination again. But I saw Changing Lanes with Ben Affleck and Danny Glover which was really good.
Thanks for letting me know about these guys podcast Seth!
I watch all sort of videos while working and the line "I'll be the guy who bit ray comfort" is the only time I've ever actually laughed out loud.
I love the Harry the Hat reference. I remember that character from Cheers, which was the same character Harry Anderson also played on Night Court,dressing in the same style. He also used to have a comedy- magic act, and he was pretty good at it.
I like watching The Bible Reloaded for silly christian movie reviews too
they are hilarious
Agree!
IIRC they already did both "A Matter of Faith" and "If Footmen..." and it was both times hilarious how they handled the stuff.
Agreed
They are better
After watching this, I've started listening to the God Awful Movies reviews. They're absolutely side-splitting. These guys are so quick-witted, and the laughs come so fast and furious, that it's a completely draining experience to listen to them. Oh, and I love the fact that the reviews are as long, and sometimes longer, than the movies they're about.
Lee Brown Same here... Now that, plus all Puzzle in a Thunderstorm podcasts, have become staples, and I'm gradually working my way through the back catalogue of TSA. So glad Seth brought these guys to my attention!
Great interview. Mystery Science Theater for atheists.
@NWO Official 666 Um...I count 4.....
"Watch William Lane Craig take four ambien and explain evolution"
Frikkin' A Eli! 😂 You kill me.
Wait a minute... "Noah Lugeons" as in... No Illusions? *Brilliant!*
You got it. And don't forget Heath Enright. He's the Saturnine figure in the bg behind Noah on this clip.
"Heathen Right"?
Wow! But doesn't really work for Eli... :(
Niven42 Bosnick(el) is a Bavarian) Austrian word for someone who's mean. 😁
And of course Noah's lovely wife, Lucinda Lugeons. Took me a good 20 episodes to realize that was "Losing Delusions"
Holy crap this thread is old.
Noah's laugh is gold
these guys were hilarious I love them they're so funny I was dying listening to this podcast I loved it!!!😂😂😂
Omg I live down the road from bemiss baptist church 😂
I have power listened to GAM and Scathing Atheist in the last 2 weeks between TTA. Awesome. Jumanji!!!
Humor is such a great tool for dispelling fear. If any of those movies ever scared you, these guys will shine a light that shows these films for the ridiculous nonsense they are.
I have been a nonbeliever for many years, but I do like a lot of religious movies. The Ten Commandments, King of Kings, The greatest story Ever Told, and many more. I don't look at them as true stories, but good movies.
This was GREAT!!! I actually want to watch these movies now because they made them sound so funny!
"A matter of faith" is on Netflix, and justifies the monthly fee quite by itself. I watched it with my daughter; after pissing ourselves laughing, we recreated the 'hot rave' dance. An instant classic, and not a dry seat in the house. Additionally, as a teacher myself, I was damned impressed by the chicken and egg question technique, and will endeavour to use it in future.
This episode and Life of Brian is all I need. Whenever I am sad I will watch this episode Seth, and all woe shall melt away. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I guess I'm weird ... 'cuz I would no more waste my time watching one of those groaners than I would pick up a copy of _The Case for Christ_ and willfully read it. I AM, however, very glad that there are people out there who dismantle the books and skewer the movies.
Sorta like Scrubbing Bubbles - they do the work so I don't have to!
GAM! Love that podcast! Nothing like taking down bad religious movies!
51:58 YOU KNOW KARATE! I was wondering when Eli made this point.
That was a fun podcast. Now off to god awful movies site.
I watched "if footman tire you, what will horses do?" I did not think it could be that bad, but it was way worse than I expected.
That was great! I enjoy all your podcasts, but this one was a real treat! I'm so glad you introduced your audience to these gentlemen. Thank you !
I think we definitely needed this fun silliness this week. Thanks guys.
Puzzle in a thunderstorm
I've listened to the GAM podcast for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen what the hosts look like. Nice to finally be able to put faces to the voices.
Seth, this is the first time watching you, I've only listened on iTunes before. I did not expect you to look like you do! Haha you look... Younger than I imagined maybe? Great episode. Love that you made these awful religious movies something to laugh at. You're doing good work here!!❤️❤️❤️
This opened such a vault of fun for me! Thank you so much!
I laughed so hard! Heading to hear some more!
How did you get these guys to go a whole hour without swearing, scatology, or extreme sexual innuendo?
Laser vultures of horror.
+TheThinkingAtheist Sounds like an 80's pop band..
how do I contact Seth? I have written a godless poem I would love to share.
You should ask the more important questions.... like "How do you get these guys to come back and make another one of these fabulous TTA casts" :D I'm pretty okay with the mix the TTA has in terms of guests, but some guests are just so ridiculously perfect that they should turn into regular "every x amounts of time" guests. (8 months, 12 months, 18 months... whatever, as long as they come back and coop again. :D)
"If that film had been banned (in the UK), it would have become the hottest video in town: everyone would have seen it." - Salman Rushdie
If I remember rightly, International Guerillas was banned in Britain as inflammatory, and Salman Rusdie objected to the ban in the name of free speech.
What a brilliant Episode. Thanks guys! It was like a bonus bonus of the GAM cast, with guest, Seth😉. The picture cuts were great, too!
Eli Bosnick is a rarity. He's an SJW with a good sense of humor.
He's an "SJW" with a borderline "anti-SJW" sense of humor.
Seriously, Eli Bosnik tells more rape/pedophilia jokes per hour than the entirety of Sargon Of Akkad's Twitter followers. lol
I'm somewhat confused how he's able to tell those kinds of jokes and still be considered an "SJW" by other "SJWs" (It's in quotes because I think the label is dumb, but I don't know what else to call him, here).
Watching you guys bandy about labels is amusing.
+TheThinkingAtheist I believe the focal point was Eli's sense of humor. Any comments on that?
+Chase Smith (TyphonMetalNerd) in all honesty, there's quite a few "SJWs" with Eli's sense of humor. For example, there three other guys on screen that apparently have the same taste in laughter.
But ya, go look up cognitive dissonance for two other guys that are essentially "sjw" (well, plenty of people on the Internet would label them as such) and their podcast sometimes makes Eli's jokes tame by comparison. In fact I think I remember Seth having a podcast with those guys.
Then there's the Imaginary Friends podcast with Jake that, while the podcast itself is mild (Jake, the host attempts to stick to a "PG-13" rating for his daughter...and generally failing), the comedians that show up are almost as raunchy as Eli gets generally, including the host...just, again, outside the actual podcast.
The gaytheist manifesto (another podcast) had a particular show a few weeks ago with Eli and Jake where they went into details about the lines they draw and the context they stick to in order to illustrate the distinctive difference between them, as professional comedians, joking about rape and transgender and a random person on Twitter.
If you don't want to listen to it, the target of the joke, the context behind the joke, the audience of said joke, and the person saying the joke, all have to come into play.
+Greyghostvol1 First off, that's a great collection of podcasts there (I'm a fan of CogDis, G.A.M. Cast and T.T.A. and I've never listened to the others mentioned, but I'm probably gonna check them out).
Secondly, I get the humor. I laugh my balls off at every episode of GAM and CogDis episode (Seth is more for Thinking, as I'm sure you know). I guess I just never really noticed the similarities before since Eli & Co. are a little more vocal about their more liberal views than others. And since (in my experience) the further left or right you go, the more easily offended people become. Maybe I just misjudged these podcast respective audiences? If so, my bad.
I personally don't care what your politics are, so long as you can back up your veiws with facts and reason. And for the most part, these guys do.
I love all of you guys. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Seth THIS segment was One of Your BEST!!! Going to spend day doing that podcast and the 3 Movies!!! Never laughed so hard in the O’Dark Thirties before❤😅
Oh man i just watched Matter of faith for 5 mins, and the first thing the "teacher" says is "the Egg came before the chicken, because a simpler lifeform evolves into a more complex one" .... WTFFFFF!!!
Strawmen, strawmen, everywhere! It's a lot easier to win an argument, if you present an incorrect version to be demolished.
I had nightmares for years when I was a kid after watching a thief in the night. Adults may laugh at it but it's terrifying for kids who are being told this is what will happen.
You guys are freaking hilarious. I enjoyed this a lot!
I get that smile everytime i see your videos appearing on my youtube subscriptions :)
This is MY FAVORITE TTA PODCAST EVER!! I am still laughing my FUCKING ASS OFF!!!!
I LOVE GAM! Great podcast, the bonus patreon reviews are highly worth it too I think.
lol! This episode made by day. I guess I am the only Nigerian that watch and enjoy Your Pod-cast, keep up the good work. You should try the vultures of horror, its pretty hilarious.
This is one of the best things that ever happened to me.
The movie reminds me of the old paintings with scenes of hell and all of the tortures. Great episode!!!
That was big fun to watch, absolutely delightful.
I just wanted to tell you, Seth, and the guys at God Awful Movies, that I watched this episode right before I went to bed, and I ended up having a dream where I was forced to watch a Christian version of John Wick, with Kirk Cameron (of course) in the title role. The best line in it was from this guy with a really horrible Russian accent: "I once saw him refute evolutionism to five atheists with the book of Ruth. Gosh. Darn. RUTH."
Thanks for that, guys 😁
I listen to these guys regularly. It was good to see them on your show Seth. And it was good to actualy see them. And it was great to see those bits of t movies I have previously only heard about .
haha "The Young Messiah " DVD/Blueray advertisement played at the beginning. one of the ones you couldn't skip through.
That hyper white kid is hillarious. I love him.
Should’ve called this podcast “Mystery Jesus Theater 3000”.
Is Estus W Pirkle really getting off on the violence he's 'warning' everyone against? Well, you never see his hands above the table...
That Muslim disco movie sounds like literally the best movie ever.
In the film they drive a bamboo through the boy's ears so he can never hear the gospel again. They then tell him what they have done. What's the point? He can't hear you explaining.
"ooh Natshab! you know thy not gona let us not love jesus gop gop gop do do dodelydo" XD floored me
this is a hilarious episode! i enjoyed it so much i listened to it twice. gam podcast here i come!
I'm 57 and I remember seeing what would communist do as a kid and it took years to get over it. I had nightmares for decades.
Especially the end of the movie where they cut the kids head off.
Humanity is cancer man
NO! I can't find the godawfulmovies page anymore! Suggestions?
The parents are concerned
But nothing could be safer
Cos your girl won't get pregnant
While she's chewing on that wafer!
In that Muslim flick, the actor portraying Rushdie looks like Jerry Lewis to me. Watching that flick I'd be doing my Jerry Lewis "Mr Maaayaaaan " shtick over the dialogue.
Bloody brilliant.
We need to be able to watch these movies MST3000 style .
I think there is great Irony to the "Young Messiah" commercial that UA-cam chose to play as the ad for this video.
oh my God I was screaming while listening to this podcast the movie matter of Faith was terrible I watched it on Netflix it was so hard to sit through!!!
God Awful Movies and Bible Reloaded need to do a cross over
First "Hercules the Legendary Journeys" is ruined for me, and now "Night Court"? Aww Maaaan!
I bet there are churches that still play this on movie night!!!!!
I gotta watch those movies!
I've been LOL for over 28 mins. Thanks for this! 😩😂
great show seth! I literally lol'd while driving.
"Thief In the Night"...gotta check that out. Good point in how it's a form of child abuse.
..."The end of democracy, as we know it"...So, there was a time before these people started saying, 'It's not a democracy, it's a republic'...lol
Damn, this is at once so funny and sad to me. 😂😣I had such a crush on Trevette (Clarence Gilyard's character on Walker, Texas Ranger) when I was a little girl. He pretty much established the archetype of what I like my men to look like...lol. Oh, well. I should have figured he'd turn out this way thirty years later because Chuck Norris is a right-wing, god lover too.
Oh my god...BABY ELI!!!!
I never laught so much while listening to podcast- thanks for that
International Guerillas is a Pakistani movie, not a Bollywood movie.
How can these guys endure sitting through such horrid movies? I am not nearly masochistic enough to even attempt this exercise in self punishment.
The guy with the earbuds is so fucking funny. I love it!
That is Eli Bosnick. In the other cam perspective the guy in the pink-brown-whateverish shirt and with the long hair is Noah Lugeons (Yes it's a nom de plume meant to read like "no illusions") and the follically challenged one is Heath Enwright... (also a chosen name, but Heathen Right just hasn't got the same je ne sais quois as No illusions ;))
I always struggle deciding which podcast I'm going to listen to sometimes, if TTA or GAM. Imagine my delight when I saw the show's title in my podcast app :D
I’m a nonbeliever but I really like the movie, “God Spell”, all was have. It came out in the seventies and today I put it in the same category as, “The Wizard of Oz”.
they all look soooooooooo different from what i imagined, it's sooooooooo strange!
I want ely as a regular guest.
This is glorious, if I may use a religious word!
Love this podcast and I just want to say that the one guy in the red shirt kind of if you close your eyes sounds like Shaggy
