Now I want to see Kirk Cameron do "Saving Easter" just to see how he tries to incorporate Bunnies, Easter Eggs, and Jelly Beans as something out of the bible.
"Well you see, the Easter Bunny was a bishop, who gave eggs to children to simbolize the fact that children can't put eggs in real life, but one children didn't believe enough and the Eastern bunny had to kill the kid, and we eat jellybeans because God put the jellybeans recipe in our subconscious minds, so we would eat them in his honor": Kirk Cameron's logic.
Better yet, let's see him take on traditional Mexican holidays. I want to see his take on how Dia de los Muertos links up with Genesis. Hearing him try and justify/vilify Santa Muerte would be comedic gold, too.
A Christian movie without racism or bigotry? For one thing, it’s hard to imagine, and if it does exist, I don’t think I want to see it. Christian movies at their best are like Blazing Saddles where the villains are the heroes and they’re unintentionally funny.
When one of these movies actually becomes a blockbuster. Kirk: "This is great! Was it all church groups and ministries?" Theater owners: "Actually, it was mostly drunks and stoners."
+Headbanger142 The part that I keep on getting a kick out of is that it beat out the remake of Left Behind....sink that in for a moment, this movie beat out for worst movie the remake of the movie that Kirk Cameron STARRED IN!
The line about Hannibal Lecter made me realize that Anthony Hopkins as Santa Claus sounds kind of awesome. "Well, Blitzen, have the reindeer stopped screaming?"
Actually, hot chocolate was invented by ancient Mesoamerican civilizations including the Aztecs and Maya. This was a more bitter or savory drink with chili powder sometimes added. When it was brought back to Spain and soon after traded with other countries in Europe, it became the wintertime treat we all love today.
It makes me laugh how others have commented that Kirk must've re-read his bible, and was horrified at how much it differs from his bat shit ideas, so he made this movie to rationalize his way of thinking.
The Christmas season is hardly about a religious holiday anymore but, in modern parts of America at least, it is a time of acceptance and good will towards your fellow person. It's a time of charity, a time of love and a time to exchange materials as physical evidence of that charity and love. In America especially it is the exchange of physical materials that transcend our own cynicism about life and people. So with all that, in the end, it actually defines teachings of many religious figures, like Jesus. And i say this as a person who isnt really religious myself but i bet Jesus would love the Christmas season as long as it helps people experience the positives out of humanity and helps us bury the negative.... Kirk Cameron is still a nutbar tho
really, bananas that grow in the wild look nothing like that i mean fuck, a good 90% of cultivated fruits and vegetables look (and taste) vastly different from their wild counterpart. it's like wolves and dogs
@@crimsondynamo615someone already did and Ray apologised for his mistake - he probably had to go read up about it first in Baby's First Picture Book of Fruits.
An entire playlist laughing at all the derpy religious movies that suddenly have been released over the last few years? Why not! I didn't need that sleep!
Just watched this today. Hoooooly shit. Everything they say here is true. That Santa WAS onscreen for like a solid minute, just staring at the camera, unblinking. It is bizarre.
11:00 What Cameron is talking about when he promotes materialism as a good thing is something fundamentalists call "Prosperity Doctrine" and it's a complete perversion of Jesus' teachings. The basic idea of prosperity doctrine is that your spiritual and moral self-worth is directly tied to your financial self-worth, i.e. the richer you are, the more you deserve it. If you're rich, it's simply because you're a better person or because God has selected you to BE rich as part of his Divine Plan. This nonsense was started by televangelists as an excuse to explain why it was ok for them to own diamond mines, mansions and piles of cash and it's not hard to figure out why. Anyone who has actually read the Bible knows how Jesus felt about materialism in general and money-changers in particular: "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God" Matthew 19:24.
Exactly, plus Jesus was basically homeless the last three years of his life: "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
@@tintinismybelgian modern day evangelicals would crucify Jesus all over again, if he ever came back like they think he is...for being too homeless and hippie looking, and having ideas that resemble "socialism".
@@stephaniebaker1542 Everyone would crucify Jesus, because we all did the first time--conservatives (Pharisees), liberals (Sadducees), leaders (Pilate and Herod), followers (the crowds), friends (Judas) and enemies (the Romans). Everyone had a hand in it, one way or another.
I spaced out at some point shortly after the bad ADR and started paying attention AS they were saying " He just shows a rock. A ROCK, in the cave. ' Right after you hear babies dying!' " ... I could skip back a few minutes to see what I missed, but I'd like to imagine that the rock/cave/dead babies scene actually IS right after or even a part of the bad ADR scene.
I like growing pains & Like father/Like Son. I have both on dvd. I was 8 when that was in theaters and was just getting into movies so i just saw it on cable. 🤷🏻♂️
This is still one of the great videos that I can watch over and over. And if anything the movie was WEIRDER than they said! So terrible, easily the worst film made since Birdemic.
What's funny is this has to be the only Christian propaganda movie that fails because it's not Christian enough. I seriously doubt the kind of people behind War Room, Old Fashioned and Gods Not Dead etc. were all that happy with Kirk Camerons attempt to justify his materialism by making bullshit links to the bible.
+thatonedrewguy I actually rented it on in demand out of curiosity and it was like $3. It is as batshit crazy as Brad had told us. I'm a Christian and when Kirk says the whole "materialism" spiel, I was like "horse shit!"
The irony of this movie is that if anyone's going to agree with Kirk Cameron's views, it's atheists! Plenty of us celebrate Christmas just to have a good time and don't really care if what we're doing is against the views of a religion.
Welcome aboard the collecting train my guy. Thanks for sharing your collection with us! I know you said you don't do customs, but if you enjoy seeing them, I post a lot on my channel
Monkismo I'm sure Christians said something similar about Saturnalia centuries ago. Honestly, so many non-religious people celebrate Christmas people barely blink. And why should they? It's winter, it's fucking cold. Let's celebrate something.
Why does this not have a sequel? It is a beautiful glorious ball of hellfire and there are few things as wonderful to experience for such a peice of shit.
Yes! And while Christians invented Coffee (Ethiopians, so not "real Christians" if you asked Kirk), that's not really a Christmas thing, which is why the Muslims adopted it almost immediately.
+Greendalewitch It's on the official Saving Christmas FB page as a comment to one of the photos. This was the reply that the page administrators gave out to people asking when the movie is coming out: Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas "Stay tuned to this page for more information! It will release this holiday season!" I liked the FB page in order to find out but for now they're keeping it vague.
I always find it weird when people refer to Islam as a nation. I haven't looked it up yet but which Muslim nation invented coffee? Ottoman's? Personally I'm not even happy with a country being defined by its religion. I'm from the UK where something like 30% of the population identify as atheist or don't identify as any particular religion (I would call that agnostic but apparently that's not the correct term to use as I found out recently).
+Sam Hall A lot of people just say they are Christians due to past cultural ideals. Forgetting the Religion was actually a foreign import by the Romans.
Sam Hall It doesn't matter what the people identify as when you live in a theocracy. The UK has a state-established religion. The Queen is head of that church. It's great that you guys no longer force people to be part of it (for the most part) but it still exists.
+modelmajorpita I would like to know what you mean by being forced to be part of any religion. If that ever happened it would be down to pushy parenting or small communities taking the law into their own hands. Also with regards to the Queen being the head of the Church, that is purely symbolic, she effectively has no power, all her power comes from her wealth. Nobody told me which country started drinking coffee, I'll just look it up.
+orangeapples Because nobody is going to watch a bad movie like this unless the things that make it bad actually make it so good. This would be the kind of movie I would watch on Netflix if I had nothing to else to watch, then more than likely I'd be telling people how much they need to see it just on how terrible it is....that's what makes it entertaining.
I can't wait to watch this little gem in the next month or two, made it my purpose last year after seeing this vid to watch it. I literally have no clue when I am about to get into and that is very intoxicating. Hope it's every bit of a mess it is made to be and more. BTW, I agree with Dave about "When the Game Stands Tall." I watched it in the theaters for free last year and while I oddly enjoyed it I didn't find it to be a Christian flick, it's more of a cliched sports film with Christian elements thrown in. Or as I called it Varsity Blues, and FN Lights without the risque elements.
One thing I never understood was Kirk Cameron's obsession with hot chocolate because of how it 'symbolises christmas'... Dude, that's EGGNOG. You're thinking of eggnog - people drink hot chocolate all the f*****g time, no one saves it just for christmas! Is he so teetotal that he ignored this just because he didn't want anyone to asociate an alcoholic drink with christmas ( even though they clearly allready do )? Sorry but that has bugged me ever since.
Okay 2 years after the fact but I finally saw it :D *ROFL* This movie was so amazing! Sinterklaas/Saint Nicholas is a real thing though. They commercialized him into Santa though. Which is watering down the actual meaning of it like the brother in law is trying to explain. And I don't know if I should feel bad about this since it's a christian movie but I thought the girl in the gray sparkling shirt during hip hop dancing scene was hot.
How would Kirk Cameron react to the uncensored version of the 1st episode of Yugioh with “Hellfire’s rage! Exodo Flame!” And “You’re saying you performed a miracle?” in it. He is the type of christian that would be offended by that.
I usually don't watch Oscar Bait. I usually watch movies with lots of ass-kicking in them (that's mostly what my DVD collection consists of, TBH.). Too bad I would never go track this down. The racism makes it unbearable for me, as a black man.
It's just a general stereotype that was common in early 20th century entertainment, the black person who was inordinately superstitious and scared of ghosts.
I thought it was some kind of Scooby doo reference. Like i could see either shaggy or Scooby saying that when they see a ghost and then you hear that hilarious sound effect they make when they run.
@@crimsondynamo615 Same; I'd literally never heard it mentioned as even remotely racist until I started watching Cinema Snob/Midnight Screenings. But supposedly the reason the KKK wore pointy-hatted white robes was to look like ghosts, so apparently "Black people are afraid of ghosts" was a trope at some point.
+Ian Vickery Some guy with Kirk Cameron explained that bananas are proof of intelligent design because bananas fit perfectly in the human hand and has a bit at the top that is easy to peel SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN MADE THAT WAY FOR HUMANS! Also, they don't seem to understand that modern bananas are the way they are due to artificial selection and the like.
Ian Vickery Completely serious. Just look up "Kirk Cameron Bananas" and you'll find the video. Kirk doesn't really say anything in it, but it's hilarious regardless.
+Master Markus OK. I've always been curious about what the deal was with bananas (and I didn't dare looking it up on UA-cam since I feared for my brain cells). Now that I know, I only have one thing to say... Kirk, what kind of moonshine were they distilling in your church's basement?
Actually, several movies have gotten a 0%, to the point that there's a Wikipedia page for it: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_a_0%25_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoes
Dude, if I actually see this train wreck all the way through even though I've seen the Snob video and this review first, I'm gonna need a bottle of liquor to help me get through this. If I actually see this around the next holiday season, I'm gonna need that bottle of liquor. Cause I really need to be lit for this movie. 🎶Show me that smiile aaaagaiiiin...🎶
This movie is weird. What's wrong with someone feeling that they should donate to charity instead of being overly materialistic during a religious holiday? Or celebrating a religious holiday more religiously? I'm not Christian but I understand that stance (not the extreme side obviously). It feels like Kirk Cameron is trying to justify being a shit Christian. I'm not saying people who celebrate Christmas with presents are bad Christians, just potentially Kirk Cameron. Mostly through his reaching for religious justification on materialism in his extreme way
I have a strong atheist friend who I get annoyed with sometimes because he'll talk about how Jesus didn't exist, but then simultaneously post about how Jesus was a person of color killed by a militarized blah blah blah. Like, I'm sure someone can excuse that train of thought, but for real. Either he was probably a poc thrown on the cross, or he didn't exist. Doesn't matter what his skin color was if he didn't exist, mainly because if he didn't exist, it isn't anymore incorrect to think he's some white dude from the middle east than a some black dude. Not totally related to video, but had to vent lol.
The biblical figure most certainly did not exist. There may have existed several people who would have been Semitic whose real stories were combined, along with the mythological stories of Heracles, Horus, and Dionysus, all of which existed centuries before Christianity, and Horus predates monotheistic Judaism. For a modern concept. Imagine if someone claimed the first president was Thomas Washington Adams. They describe his as an amalgamation of the first three presidents, and ascribe to him the abilities and backstories of several western heroes like Pecos Bill.
The Paddington movies are great. This review was done before those movies came out, so all we had to talk about was the trailer, and as much as I love the movies, the first film wasn't advertised very well here.
Yes. Ethiopian Coffee was drunk black. Muslims in Mocha (Yemen) would add chocolate (which they bought from Spain) to their coffee. So Mocha is a Muslim combination of American pagan and African Christian drinks.
Boy, it's a jump to go straight from the Left Behind review, where Brad and Jake are offended to the point of outrage by the trailer to this and what they assume the movie will be, to this, where Brad and Dave are baffled and bemused, but not angry.
Sorry, but the Santa shot reminded me of the Zilly Zanta sequence from Homestuck, like look at this: www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007677

UnHappy 10 to this travesty 😬
Ps: you can thank the Aztecs for hot chocolate if you didn’t know that
I will definitely watch Brad react to Kirk Cameron save Christmas again.
Unintentionally took sips of my 26 oz pepsi bottle while watching this review.
How would Kirk Cameron react to the uncensored version of the 1st episode of Yugioh with
“Hellfire’s rage! Exodo Flame!”
And “You’re saying you performed a miracle?” in it. He is the type of christian that would be offended by that.
Wow...as a Christian this just made my childhood of watching Yugioh even more awesome. I dare say super special awesome.
That’s exactly how my parents were. They absolutely hated that show. Especially when the Egyptian god cards got unveiled.
Kirk Cameron is offended by lots of things from what I'm told 😊
kirk cameron comes off as a Dennis Reynolds type if he was brain washed to be hyper-christian.
TREE MASTER BOB ironically more of a douchebag than Dennis
So when should I pick up my copy?
I usually don't watch Oscar Bait. I usually watch movies with lots of ass-kicking in them (that's mostly what my DVD collection consists of, TBH.).
Too bad I would never go track this down. The racism makes it unbearable for me, as a black man.
It's coming out on DVD (no mention of blu ray) on 11/3/15. But you might have to buy it at a Christian bookstore.
legit question: what is the "g-g-g-g-ghosts" reference Brad keeps making? google is no help in explaining the trope.
It's just a general stereotype that was common in early 20th century entertainment, the black person who was inordinately superstitious and scared of ghosts.
ah i see. for some reason i assumed the Cinema Snob reviewed a movie with the exact quote. like from the same era as Child Bride
I thought it was some kind of Scooby doo reference. Like i could see either shaggy or Scooby saying that when they see a ghost and then you hear that hilarious sound effect they make when they run.
@@crimsondynamo615 Same; I'd literally never heard it mentioned as even remotely racist until I started watching Cinema Snob/Midnight Screenings. But supposedly the reason the KKK wore pointy-hatted white robes was to look like ghosts, so apparently "Black people are afraid of ghosts" was a trope at some point.
Kirk Cameron's Six Degrees of Christmas.
Very subtle. His name is Christian. 😐
That would be like remaking Friday the 13th and changing Jason’s name to Murderer. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm sorry, but what was that about the banana being proof of God? Did I miss something?
+Ian Vickery
Some guy with Kirk Cameron explained that bananas are proof of intelligent design because bananas fit perfectly in the human hand and has a bit at the top that is easy to peel SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN MADE THAT WAY FOR HUMANS!
Also, they don't seem to understand that modern bananas are the way they are due to artificial selection and the like.
Oh Christ, are you serious? That's hilarious. Also, that's an interesting fact about bananas!
Ian Vickery
Completely serious. Just look up "Kirk Cameron Bananas" and you'll find the video. Kirk doesn't really say anything in it, but it's hilarious regardless.
+Master Markus OK. I've always been curious about what the deal was with bananas (and I didn't dare looking it up on UA-cam since I feared for my brain cells). Now that I know, I only have one thing to say...
Kirk, what kind of moonshine were they distilling in your church's basement?
nevermind the fact that bananas fit perfectly somewhere else lol
This movie has a 0% on rotten tomatoes! Holy fucking shit that's hilarious! I didn't think that was possible!
Actually, several movies have gotten a 0%, to the point that there's a Wikipedia page for it:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_with_a_0%25_rating_on_Rotten_Tomatoes
I dunno, Brad, I think that Kirk etc do kinda harm society as a whole...
The guy next to brad looks like Seth Rogen
Slightly off-topic, but is Midnight Screenings over?
Guess it is. Shame, I really liked these. I'm doing a go through on these.
Dude, if I actually see this train wreck all the way through even though I've seen the Snob video and this review first, I'm gonna need a bottle of liquor to help me get through this. If I actually see this around the next holiday season, I'm gonna need that bottle of liquor. Cause I really need to be lit for this movie.
🎶Show me that smiile aaaagaiiiin...🎶
This movie is weird. What's wrong with someone feeling that they should donate to charity instead of being overly materialistic during a religious holiday? Or celebrating a religious holiday more religiously? I'm not Christian but I understand that stance (not the extreme side obviously). It feels like Kirk Cameron is trying to justify being a shit Christian. I'm not saying people who celebrate Christmas with presents are bad Christians, just potentially Kirk Cameron. Mostly through his reaching for religious justification on materialism in his extreme way
I have a strong atheist friend who I get annoyed with sometimes because he'll talk about how Jesus didn't exist, but then simultaneously post about how Jesus was a person of color killed by a militarized blah blah blah. Like, I'm sure someone can excuse that train of thought, but for real. Either he was probably a poc thrown on the cross, or he didn't exist. Doesn't matter what his skin color was if he didn't exist, mainly because if he didn't exist, it isn't anymore incorrect to think he's some white dude from the middle east than a some black dude. Not totally related to video, but had to vent lol.

Well, something something media portrayals.
Fiction still has relevance to reality.
The biblical figure most certainly did not exist. There may have existed several people who would have been Semitic whose real stories were combined, along with the mythological stories of Heracles, Horus, and Dionysus, all of which existed centuries before Christianity, and Horus predates monotheistic Judaism.
For a modern concept. Imagine if someone claimed the first president was Thomas Washington Adams. They describe his as an amalgamation of the first three presidents, and ascribe to him the abilities and backstories of several western heroes like Pecos Bill.
What you got against Paddington those movies are amazing
The Paddington movies are great. This review was done before those movies came out, so all we had to talk about was the trailer, and as much as I love the movies, the first film wasn't advertised very well here.
Yeah the first trailer that actually showed Paddington sucked I’ll give you that sorry if I overreacted
I think I've heard somewhere the muslims invented mocha? I guess the combination of cocoa and coffee? But I'm not entirely sure = )
Yes. Ethiopian Coffee was drunk black. Muslims in Mocha (Yemen) would add chocolate (which they bought from Spain) to their coffee. So Mocha is a Muslim combination of American pagan and African Christian drinks.
My name is a little rare. As such it's very odd to hear someone say, "Damn Kirk, blah blah blah whatever".
My favorite Brad line: "Why don't you bring up here motherfucker ?"
I love the part where Saint Nicholas or Santa beats the shit out of Arius. 😂
Boy, it's a jump to go straight from the Left Behind review, where Brad and Jake are offended to the point of outrage by the trailer to this and what they assume the movie will be, to this, where Brad and Dave are baffled and bemused, but not angry.
dave chocolate is from the new world... boom
My family genuinely laughs at this kind of comedy. :/ I hate it!
***** i dont think it was a comedy i think it was serious
Is it just me or does Kirk Cameron kind a look like Zack Snyder?
That explains so much
Very late to the party, haven't read all the comments, but chocolate comes from Mexico.
Kirk Cameron Saves the Witches Sabbath
Actually hot chocolate was created in MesoaMURICA
Sorry, but the Santa shot reminded me of the Zilly Zanta sequence from Homestuck, like look at this: www.mspaintadventures.com/trickster.php?s=6&p=007677
+m3llo8an4t0s
Well, at least you're sorry.
By the way: Hot chocolate was created by the Mayans.
No thanks I would rather do that for Jurassic park&Jurassic world. 😉
a new Christmas special
Hannibal lecter's Christmas
Now I want a Scream Christmas special! : D
