@@QuincyDisneyVegan Bootleg DVD sure. It's never had an official remastered commercial release on DVD. Believe me, I have actively looked for one since the beginning of DVD.
Too funny! I had no idea this existed. I guess I wasn’t as big a Newsboys fan as I thought. Been going to their concerts and buying their albums since 1995.
I still love this movie! When it was first released i gave copies of it to all my coworkers for Christmas. Even though i don't know what they thought about it or even if they liked it, God placed it on my heart to share it and a few other Christian videos i obtained as gifts for Christmas.
I bought this when it came out, loaned it to a friend ....and well let’s just say this was this first time to watch it in over 15yrs and I still loved it.
Bro just looking at the crowds from that era is crazy. I saw Peter and Phil 2 weeks ago and the crowd was just dead. I get its Christian music but what happened to having fun? Clearly these guys knew fun. Otherwise they wouldn't have done this.
@@SoundGuyZackProd The lack of creativity in Mainstream CCM is absurd nowadays. There IS some great indie Christian bands though, such as: Ruvers & Robots, The Royal Royal…
Saw this during Sunday night youth group as a kid and never forgot it. Found me a copy on VHS in 2011, but of course, who can play THAT anymore!? Perfectly happy seeing it here. Thank you for posting!
Get yourself a VCR and an RCA to HDMI converter cable and you will unlock a lot of happiness. You can watch that tape and start getting more classic CCM VHS
Seen them in concert since Going Public on every tour. Meet and hung out with them in the 90’s and they were so awesome to hang out with. Bought this when it came out.
During a Q&A they had before a United show at Summerville, SC, I asked the band about possibly making another movie in the style of this but with today's lineup. They all stared at me for like 5 seconds before Duncan simply replied with "No." The crowd was dying. XD
@@leonmatthewsiv1699 I don't understand how that is. I haven't come across anybody who didn't love this. It came out when I was in Bible college and I'd show it to my dorm mates and they all loved it too. I have never seen a negative comment when it's shared online either.
Good on ya, mate! I absolutely love that this movie is still out there and free for all. I just wish this got the acclaim it deserves. One of the funniest movies, Christian or otherwise, to ever be made.
Love this movie. Have the VHS, but I think this is better quality. I've asked some of the band about the movie and they always avoid talking about it. lol.
I love this movie! :D It was one of the first Christian movie/videos I bought shortly after becoming a Christian in 96. I always wondered what ever happened to it or if I just imagined the whole thing. This is actually way better than I remember it being. :)
I grew up in Nashville and someone was selling a ton of these at a yard sale, so my mom bought one along with a Steve Taylor music video VHS, and we watched them all the time growing up. My best friends mom dated Jody Davis before Newsboys, so it was even more amusing to me. I still quote things from this film.
@@brianbratcher5226 Also never knew Furler played drums while singing. I had thought he was drummer and then switched to vocals later. But now I know he did both for a time. Hard to do but he's talented enough to make it look easy
Saw this when I was 13 years old. A local Christian bookstore was handing out free copies when you purchased the new Take Me To Your Leader CD album and a shirt. Saw it once, thought it was amusing. Went back to trading Star Wars customizable cards with friends while having newsboys cranked in the background. I like their music, their acting not so much. Ha ha!
Read about this a while back and was always curious. Glad I found it on UA-cam! If you like the Newsboys, cheesy comedy (think Pee Wee's Big Adventure), and have an hour to kill, you'll enjoy this!
I won this VHS from youth group as a kid and the youth leader would have no clue how life changing it would be. 😁 I'm here commenting because I was watching My Strange Addiction on Hulu season 5 episode 3. It's totally the twins from the movie!!! I'm not crazy, right???
@@newsgirlnotashamed2211 It was a "Hawaaian shirt night" contest if I remember correctly. I wore a Hawaiian print skirt along with my shirt, so I guess they thought I went above and beyond. haha
Pagliacci dog is the hero we needed. GAM squad form up! You know you came here to see if Anna, Eli, and Heath were suffering from gas leaks or if this was real.
@@brianbratcher5226 how do they structure those recording contracts anyway? Can any member just leave at any time or what? If they can, then how do they honor their contract obligations for a certain number of albums and what not?
This movie is an unerrated gem. I wish it would get remastered for a Blu Ray or at least a DVD release
It did get a DVD release, but it's now hard to find. I use to own it both on VHS and DVD until I lost mine in storage
@@QuincyDisneyVegan Bootleg DVD sure. It's never had an official remastered commercial release on DVD. Believe me, I have actively looked for one since the beginning of DVD.
My parents actually won a tape back in the 90’s of the movie from a Christian radio station😀
Newsboys reminds me of such a joyous time in my life. So much so i started bawling at the end of this.
This movie really shaped my sense of humor and love for the bizarre. It’s still amazing and hilarious. Thank you, Steve Taylor.
💯%
My siblings and I grew up with this movie on vhs. 15 years later the band signed it! This movie is such a big part of my childhood! :)
This a Broadway musical, but with the music that i actually listen to! God, if only Christianity could be this cool again
Or this self-aware
Christianity is always cool. It’s people that are broken. Like David, Samson, Peter, Paul, Jonah and all other biblical figures that are not Jesus.
"Even when he was fine...he wanted to know how we were" 😂😂😂 This movie is BRILLIANT!
Too funny! I had no idea this existed. I guess I wasn’t as big a Newsboys fan as I thought. Been going to their concerts and buying their albums since 1995.
I can't tell you how many times I looked at this movie. I'm literally quoting the lines right now.
I still love this movie! When it was first released i gave copies of it to all my coworkers for Christmas. Even though i don't know what they thought about it or even if they liked it, God placed it on my heart to share it and a few other Christian videos i obtained as gifts for Christmas.

Facts: Mainstream Christian Music was so much cooler back in the 90’s!
Totally agree .

I think music in general was.
@@nickgagnon3626 There’s some cool atuff in general, just need to dig deeper. I mean in CCM’s Mainstream world.
I used to watch this as a little girl wow I’m so happy I found this
Glad other people appreciate this :)

😂
I love this band and most definitely the message ❤ God's not dead he surely alive Amen
Wrong movie 😂
So happy you uploaded this! This movie was a major part of my childhood. I am going to stop watching so I can watch it with my family on Christmas!
I still love this so much.......❤ thank you
Good on ya, mate! I absolutely love that this movie is still out there and free for all. I just wish this got the acclaim it deserves. One of the funniest movies, Christian or otherwise, to ever be made.
Wow I remember watching this like years ago when I was really little, now I get to show it to my girlfriend who really likes the newsboys
Love this movie. Have the VHS, but I think this is better quality. I've asked some of the band about the movie and they always avoid talking about it. lol.
x16900 I actually just digitally recorded this off the VHS using a mobile DVR.
I may have upped the resolution though. Not sure how that works.
Why is the bottom half chewed up and the camera wobboling about?
Nathan Collett it's.....not
I love this movie! :D

Someone asked the band the other night if this movie was ever going to be on DVD. Peter said you can just watch it on UA-cam.
I had this VHS!!! Lol Love this movie 💗
I still have this on vhs somewhere! 😂❤
What?! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this. I grew up listening to newsboys.

I miss this time with the Newsboys Love it
Thank you thank you thank you for posting this. Happy nostalgic memories ! : ).
Best youth group movie ever.
Loved it!☆☆☆☆!
I love this movie. It's weird, bad and funny. Just a good fun movie.
this movie totally holds up!
Read about this a while back and was always curious. Glad I found it on UA-cam!
If you like the Newsboys, cheesy comedy (think Pee Wee's Big Adventure), and have an hour to kill, you'll enjoy this!
Hahahahaha, "we're not hiring"! 😂
I bought the VHS when it first came out. My kids wore it out long ago. They were practically raised on this and KISS meets the Phantom of the Park!
Great fun. Crazy silly. Strange, unexpected.
40:07 Jeff turned into a baby hence he was the Baby of the Band along with 40:24
Mark Lowry is rocking that leisure suit.
FREEBIRD LETS GO BABY!!!!
I’m genuinely shocked to find this on UA-cam. You truly can find everything on the Internet. And this movie was a fever dream.
I won this VHS from youth group as a kid and the youth leader would have no clue how life changing it would be. 😁

what did you do to win it?

Thank u for posting!
First time ever saw this movie. Never realized that they made a movie.
Haven't seen this in years, thanks for putting this up.
“Dr Davis telephone please dr Davis telephone please “ that scene is connecting to the end of the music video so long my friend by dctalk hmmm
This is such a funny movie. It is one of my favorites.
I still have this on VHS, but unfortunately I no longer have a VHS player. So thanks!
36:03 The riff to Shine on the Organ.
OH YEAH! Fun stuff.
Pagliacci dog is the hero we needed.
GAM squad form up! You know you came here to see if Anna, Eli, and Heath were suffering from gas leaks or if this was real.
For some reason, after hearing that episode, I was not expecting this movie to have just the most INTENSE COLOURS.
This takes me back.
Love this
dude i member this so hard! 😂😂😂😂
Good afternoon from Singapore! Wish you'd have a nice week =)
sorry FREEBIRRD!!! LETS GO BABY!!
I love that my favorite Christian band was also a movie lol😂❤
Someone actually remembers this piece of art❤️
Love it so much
At 7:35, when he tells the bus driver joke. Just remembered my wife's dad was the bus driver for the newsboys. And that makes it even more funnier.
I was born the year "Step Up To The Microphone" came out
I call this the Spinal Tap of Christian music, which is open to a couple of interpretations.... :P
I knew it Steve Taylor was the Director DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE‼‼‼‼
Anyone else catch that the "Doctor Davis telephone please" line was also on DC Talk's My Friend (So Long) song? Which came first? 🤔 😂
No way I just commented that I know right I’m wondering if it all one story
Did newsboys predict that Michael tait would be their new lead singer bcuz the movie came out in 1996 and the dc talk song came out in 1998
This is truly a masterpiece lol
Nice movie
6:21 “Mike Wazoski.”
That’s what I heard too💀💀💀😂
Compare audio at 4:54 with DC Talk - My Friend (So Long) audio at the very end.
I wonder where they're getting those sound effects
That clip showed up A LOT in the 90s. It's also on a Carman album, the song where he dies in the hospital and sees Heaven.
I figured out where “it’s all who you know” is at. 36:36
I love how their dissing their actual past bass players
Takes me back to growing up
I am late to the party and I have not listened to the episode yet. I am scared. I need a drink. Cheers GAMers !
13:50 LOL with mongo
The GAM fans are coming, say hi guys
Hello!
FRREEBIRD
GAM sent me.
And me.
15:28 Duncan...
Fun fact: I didnt search for this 😜
NB and Steve Taylor at their best.
my dad is in this lol
18:04
It's a lighter
laal
1:00:30 ... were they planning a sequel??
20:30 LOL couple a minutes!!!
Wait the newsboys got a movie?
@JPGamerRetroAnime lol yeah, like 27 years ago
Well at least it's not Finding Jesus 2
Looks like David mcscavage of scientology 😂
Is that Gary Chapman?? Amy's ex husband??
Why does it look like it's just been zoomed in?
Nathan Collett maybe you're used to wide-screen?
15:28 Duncan
GAM!!!!
Well that's one hour I wish I had back. 😂
13:46 13:47
Peter barely had any hair in the 90’s lol
23:50
Totally wacky but great music!
Such a better band than Five Iron Frenzy.
Hey we don't tolerate that type of slander around here
Take Me to Your Leader is one of the best pop albums of the 90s. Not just in CCM, but in any genre.
This is the Christian/clown college Spinal Tap
GAM!!
I thought Kevin mills left the band in 94??
Guess he made one brief cameo. Iirc he is listed on the Going Public album but not the Take Me to Your Leader
@@brianbratcher5226 how do they structure those recording contracts anyway? Can any member just leave at any time or what? If they can, then how do they honor their contract obligations for a certain number of albums and what not?
Ah, so the Newsboys were just as lame in the '90s as they are now. Good to know.
I didn't apriciate the 90s christian music.
