Remember kids, when your strange new friend tells you to keep your relationship a secret from your parents because it’s like a special club for just the two of you and they just wouldn’t understand… be sure to do that because you’ll get pizza and everything will work out in the end. What a wonderful life lesson.
Fun fact: For years, only Big Bird could see Mr. Snuffleupagus on Sesame Street, and none of the adults actually believed he existed. But the writers realized that having adults not believe Big Bird was sending a message to children that their parents might not believe them if they were to ever admit something - like sexual assault. So, in 1985, Mr. Snuffleupagus was introduced to the adults!
This was indeed a fun fact, though for the life of me, I can't figure out what it has to do with this video. I would like to believe that you just wander around UA-cam, posting random facts in comment sections of unrelated videos.
It wasn't that only Big Bird could see him. He wasn't invisible. He would just always happen to have to leave right before someone else entered the area.

Reminds me of when I was searching Amazon for Christmas movies and went more than a couple pages into the category. I ended up in the low-budget religious films, many of which seem to be competing to be the ultimate trials of Job Christmas carol. I recall one had the plot of man loses job, loses house, starts living in a car, but still has faith. The end. No happy ending. No warm meal, not even a drive through happy meal for the kids. Faith will fill your starving bellies, kids... well, maybe in the sequel. Merry Christmas.
Idk, I kinda like that plot. Sounds like the one rare Christian movie that doesn't lie to you. "Have all the faith you want, but it absolutely will not help you, end your suffering, or change a damn thing in your life."

Also, I wondering the reason it’s so secular for a religious movie is that someone had a script for a talking dog movie and couldn’t get a studio to green light it, and then some religious studio was like hey we’ll fund your movie but you have to make it religious and then the creator was just like fine whatever i need to lay rent.
So, the religious movie tells kids 'hey kids, experiencing something weird? Don't tell an adult! They'll just ruin the 'fun' " On a side note: Homer: ... And that talking coyote was really just a talking dog. Dog: Hi Homer, find your soul mate Homer: wait a minute, there's no such thing as a talking dog! Dog: BARK! BARK! Homer: Damn straight!
The dog being Socrates is so incredibly bonkers and so remarkably underused, it's almost noteworthy for how utterly unmemorable the actual film itself seems.

You know what would have been a good plot twist. Dale and Sox use to be a dog and a human respectively, and then something happened to make them switch bodies. Dale finds out that he doesn't like being a human while Sox is perfectly fine living as a dog since it means no work and no clothes.
In the movie “Dogma”, Chris Rock plays the 13th apostle - back from the dead. Had he voiced the dog instead of discount M J Fox, this would have been a very different movie…. rated “R”. Or “Arrr”. 🐶
If you want to watch something involving a talking dog that helps out two brothers, involves actual religious undertones, and involves a grown man behaving like a dog -- may I recommend the Supernatural episode "Dog Dean Afternoon"?

This is utter insanity, just everything, and that voice? So bonkers! Love your videos, even though this was a little brain breaking, still totally cheered up my day seeing a roses video pop up on the feed!
This movie actually reminds me of another Religious Based movie with a Talking dog in it. It's called Quiggly. Something about a guy leading a horrible sinful life, so as punishment he gets turned into a dog and has to learn how to love or something. And while that sounds like a good premise on paper, I remember the movie being so boring it gave me migraines. Compared to Quiggly, this movie is actually the king of Dog-based Religious Movies.... which is a whole genre apparently.
god i love weird religious movies; i went to a catholic high school where i was forced to watch christian movies and a fascination with how bad and backwards they were has followed me around since. i'd love if you covered more of them.
Wait... Is this dog Judas?? Wasn't Judas the thirteenth disciple??? Oh when you mentioned you thought Dale was a dog in a human's body, I thought there was gonna be a twist where Sox and Dale had swapped bodies, and the reason Dale was so hellbent on catching him was to get his body back.
The Gospel of John mentions an "Other Disciple whom Jesus Loved" several times in addition to the core 12 whose identity has been the subject of much debate. Apparently according to this movie... Jesus had a dog. And the dog is immortal. And the dog has been to Mars.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I mean...Christians generally aren't against dogs, Muslims are much more particular and, interestingly seem to have no issue with cats, but dogs, barring certain uses, are seen as dirty and unclean, or at least stuff they lick. Companionship is oddly seen as secondary for dogs (versus hunting, protection, etc), while Muhammed himself had a beloved pet cat he freaking cut off the sleeve of his robe to go pray because Muezza was sleeping on it
5:51 thrilled to hear a half-second reference to GHOST in one of your vids, I love them so much! Also David DeLuise (who played Thomas, I think?) is the son of Dom DeLuise. I was just watching Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" last night and caught his name among the cast and crew. He's worked in film, but a lot of his credits are films like these and TV shows where he was in a few episodes. He's a decent actor, and that's about it, lol.
All the DeLuises look so damn similar that I can never remember which one of them was in silly Disney Channel shows, which one was in Jump Street, and which one was in Gilmore Girls.
Yet another perfectly presented production from PushingupRoses. I'd love to see you delve more into this really odd faith-based movie hole, if you are so willing. I've run into reviews of other movies that're just as weird as this one that I'd love to hear your take on.
I think this is what happens when Canada pays people to make MEDIA product to keep them employed, Canada make-work production is my guess. The same cast probably has reassembled and made 20 other MEDIA product. Based on scripts from writers who are also in Canada.
I remember Canadian radio stations used to have to play about 80% Canadian artists. So you heard the same songs over and over. I would have preferred to hear new, bad songs!
@@lazyhomebody1356 CanCon rules started in 1971 but were at 25% they were raised over the years and are now about 40% for music radio stations. It was never repealed it just stopped being repetitive. The reason you probably think it was like 80% is you were listening to a station at a non-peak time and they were filling their quota by playing all their Canadian music then so they could play other stuff at peak times. Also in the early 70s there was not that much Canadian music but at some point there were enough Canadian recordings to fill things out without being repetitive as the music industry grew substantially.
Getting David Berkowitz vibes....😬 Also let me get this straight. The dog is Socrates the philosopher who is supposed to be not only the 13th disciple of christ but his REINCARNATED SOUL HAS MET ALIENS ON MARS?
Talking about that tendency in kid's movies to have the supernatural element tell kids not to trust their parents reminds me of how the Learning Company decided to have Snuffleupagus reveal himself to the humans on Sesame Street. When he was first introduced, only Big Bird would see him, he'd mess stuff up, and when the adults came in later, no one would believe Big Bird that Mr. Snuffleupagus was the one really doing stuff and would blame him. They quickly came to realize this was teaching kids the wrong lesson that you can't go to trusted adults with things because they won't believe you, and particularly in response to the scandal around priests and alter-boys, they didn't want that to be the message they were putting out. So, he showed up in front of everyone and the adults apologized to Big Bird for not believing him and promise to do better in the future. Absolutely insane that they realized this in the 90's but people still make children's entertainment revolving around doing the opposite.
I grew up watching Sesame Street and used to get a stomach ache everytime the adults missed seeing Snuffy. Can't believe it was the 90s before the writers got a clue.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I should have looked it up, for some reason I was remembering it being later than it was. It was back in the '85. That makes it all the more confusing about people later making parodies of Sesame Street not knowing he was real, like they should have grown up with that being the fact. Anyway, besides the point.
Hi, PushingUp, I love your content. Every upload brings me great joy. I love your sense of humor and your voice. You are like the best friend I never had, and I would be honored to support your coffee habit. I first got into your channel when I found your video of The Adventures of Pete and Pete which happened to be one of my favorite shows of all time. Now I subscribe and adore your videos and your honest and heart felt personality. Keep up the good work, you are totally awesome.
4:56 - Hard agree that a week is too long; not only did they just get married with this goober springing a new dog on his partner (that it seems wasn't discussed AT ALL not even in a, "hey, pets are nice right" kinda way) but they also are *just* moving in together as a *newly* *BLENDED* *FAMILY* . A sudden week out of town is way, way too long!
The married couple barely knowing each other, and the absolute disrespect toward the wife/mother, are pretty standard for Conservative Christian culture lol. Sad that a few otherwise decent actors had to take this gig.
Somehow this movie manages to be even cheaper and more off-putting than A Talking Cat!?!, and that was filmed in a house that was also regularly rented out to porn productions.
I mean,...I'd sooner buy the idea that he's reincarnated or even trying to put a twist somewhere on the Wandering Jew, even though that tends to be either a Roman soldier (Which is weird that he's called a Wandering Jew) or a rabbi that mocked Jesus on the cross, that situation generally where the folklore comes from: Jesus saying that they won't die until he returns
HORROR MOVIE TRAILER EDIT! HORROR MOVIE TRAILER EDIT! Btw, I checked out your recent hidden object puzzle game streams on Twitch. Delightful to have more of your work!
My first thought upon seeing the '13th disciple' sticky note was, "Damn, this dog must be old as hell and damned to walk the earth or something." Imagine if this went into Da Vinci Code territory and they looked closer at The Last Supper and saw a dog curled up under the table
I highly recommend checking out Vampire Dog. He’s a vampire dog except they can’t say blood so he drinks “jelly”, which is to say Jell-O, but they can’t legally say that either so it’s red “JELLY”.
my cat stomped my keyboard and loaded this video (probs cos it was in my recent history) and it loaded up exactly to the moment where you said 'does God fart?' and I have to tell you I lost it. I collapsed in a fit of laughter that scared my cat so badly. I have no regrets tho.
Roses : Are you a fan of the god Awful Movies podcast; also on youtube? They rip into movies like this weekly, and not only religious films, as they also tackle secular BS like VAXXED, the anti-vaxxer documentary.
honestly, especially with there being an explanation to why the dogs lips don't move, something tells me that dog isn't actually an angel sent from heavan, and more a schitzophrenic delusion or something very son of sam esque
As a Catholic, I can tell you that Saul wasn’t one of the 12 who was with Jesus. His story comes later on the book of Acts and his epistles take up most of the New Testament. But, if you are refering to him as an apostle, then I agree, as the word just means “one who is sent.”
@@andrewollmann304 Yea, he'd be an apostle, not one of the "original" apostles, which apparently did include the 13th MAtthias, even if that was done by the other disciples, not Jesus like with the original 12. WEird I still remember that factoid about the disciples when much of my religious studies were on more general religious philosophy and such, not theology specifically
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I thought she was met later, though it's a whole other question of how many different Marys are in the Gospels: Mary mother of JEsus, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene all come to mind
If you like family friendly dog movies, you should do a brief history of the buddy movies. How they are talking puppies now with their own dedicated studio. The super pups TV series is hilarious.
Honestly, based on the husband's comments about how fast this is to his son, I feel like he was just looking for a wife to take care of his kid so he can go on about his business. He probably just swept her off her feet with the idea of blending their families. I'm guessing the kids barely know each other since a lot of people don't introduce their kids to whoever they're dating for a while, let alone really consider that they should give them all a chance to blend as a family before they get married. ETA there are so many secular family friendly movies that teach the same lessons to kids without them feeling like they're being smacked in he face. I don't understand why people that want to make Christian movies don't study them.
It's taken me all video, but I've finally figured out who the guy playing the agent is: it's Andy Lauer, the roller skating guy from Caroline In The City
In Dragon Age origins, in a side quest, there's a cat "Kitty" that is a little girl cat and it asked her not to tell anyone because the cat is a demon who possess her owner 😅
Ah yes, The Thirteenth Disciple. I think Antonio Banderas starred in that 90s action film as Bilbo Socrates, a quiet scholar who is whisked away from the comforts of home by Gandalf the Baptist to join a company of Northern Apostles in their battle against a supernatural threat called the Romans. The film was based on a religious poem in alliterative verse called Eaters of the Bread.
Dale was in Murder, She Wrote!! The 1994 episode "The Dying Game." It also has Kate Mulgrew. I feel like you have to do this episode just for the crossover!!!! 🩵🩵🩵

My praise for this practicaly performative paragraph. Pip pip!
I'm DAVID HOOOOOGER
Please pause this preposterous pursuit.
These sorts of movies are the kind I love to partake in vicariously through UA-camrs like you 😂
This is utter insanity, just everything, and that voice? So bonkers! Love your videos, even though this was a little brain breaking, still totally cheered up my day seeing a roses video pop up on the feed!
Prince of Egypt is literally the only good faith based movie I can think of.
Same for Joseph king of dreams
This movie actually reminds me of another Religious Based movie with a Talking dog in it. It's called Quiggly. Something about a guy leading a horrible sinful life, so as punishment he gets turned into a dog and has to learn how to love or something. And while that sounds like a good premise on paper, I remember the movie being so boring it gave me migraines. Compared to Quiggly, this movie is actually the king of Dog-based Religious Movies.... which is a whole genre apparently.
god i love weird religious movies; i went to a catholic high school where i was forced to watch christian movies and a fascination with how bad and backwards they were has followed me around since. i'd love if you covered more of them.
You must love Godawful Movies.
I think Paula's favourite song is Sheb Wooley's Purple People Eater
What are the odds that Dom DeLuise’s son was the production’s biggest expense?
What!? No pineapple peach and plum pie? Perfectly presented on a porcelain plate? WOMAN IS AN AMATEUR!
I thought I recognized the uncle, he played the father in Wizards of Waverly Place!
Wait... Is this dog Judas?? Wasn't Judas the thirteenth disciple???
Oh when you mentioned you thought Dale was a dog in a human's body, I thought there was gonna be a twist where Sox and Dale had swapped bodies, and the reason Dale was so hellbent on catching him was to get his body back.
Judas was one of the twelve. Fun fact: two disciples were named Judas!
Judas was the disciple that betrayed Jesus. After he died, the disciples picked a new 12th disciple named Matthias.
The Gospel of John mentions an "Other Disciple whom Jesus Loved" several times in addition to the core 12 whose identity has been the subject of much debate.
Apparently according to this movie... Jesus had a dog. And the dog is immortal. And the dog has been to Mars.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I don't know what this "debate" is you're talking about .. bible scholars generally all agree John is talking about himself.
@@ryanfogarty7691 I mean...Christians generally aren't against dogs, Muslims are much more particular and, interestingly seem to have no issue with cats, but dogs, barring certain uses, are seen as dirty and unclean, or at least stuff they lick.
Companionship is oddly seen as secondary for dogs (versus hunting, protection, etc), while Muhammed himself had a beloved pet cat he freaking cut off the sleeve of his robe to go pray because Muezza was sleeping on it
5:51 thrilled to hear a half-second reference to GHOST in one of your vids, I love them so much!
Also David DeLuise (who played Thomas, I think?) is the son of Dom DeLuise. I was just watching Mel Brooks' "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" last night and caught his name among the cast and crew. He's worked in film, but a lot of his credits are films like these and TV shows where he was in a few episodes. He's a decent actor, and that's about it, lol.
All the DeLuises look so damn similar that I can never remember which one of them was in silly Disney Channel shows, which one was in Jump Street, and which one was in Gilmore Girls.
It's a Tbone steak. One that's clearly already half eaten, so I don't know why she's acting like it can still be saved.
I honestly thought it was a shoe at first that the dog just shredded
They already had a thirteenth Apostle, Matthias, the replacement for Judas. There's also Mary Magdalene.
Love hearing you riff on bad movies, religious or otherwise.
Yet another perfectly presented production from PushingupRoses. I'd love to see you delve more into this really odd faith-based movie hole, if you are so willing. I've run into reviews of other movies that're just as weird as this one that I'd love to hear your take on.
Weren't the shaking intro titles supposed to represent Sox's POV as he's running through the neighbourhood?
I think this is what happens when Canada pays people to make MEDIA product to keep them employed, Canada make-work production is my guess. The same cast probably has reassembled and made 20 other MEDIA product. Based on scripts from writers who are also in Canada.
I remember Canadian radio stations used to have to play about 80% Canadian artists. So you heard the same songs over and over. I would have preferred to hear new, bad songs!
@@lazyhomebody1356 CanCon rules started in 1971 but were at 25% they were raised over the years and are now about 40% for music radio stations. It was never repealed it just stopped being repetitive.
The reason you probably think it was like 80% is you were listening to a station at a non-peak time and they were filling their quota by playing all their Canadian music then so they could play other stuff at peak times. Also in the early 70s there was not that much Canadian music but at some point there were enough Canadian recordings to fill things out without being repetitive as the music industry grew substantially.
@@allanolley4874 Okay, interesting. Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot on repeat!
Getting David Berkowitz vibes....😬 Also let me get this straight. The dog is Socrates the philosopher who is supposed to be not only the 13th disciple of christ but his REINCARNATED SOUL HAS MET ALIENS ON MARS?
Talking about that tendency in kid's movies to have the supernatural element tell kids not to trust their parents reminds me of how the Learning Company decided to have Snuffleupagus reveal himself to the humans on Sesame Street. When he was first introduced, only Big Bird would see him, he'd mess stuff up, and when the adults came in later, no one would believe Big Bird that Mr. Snuffleupagus was the one really doing stuff and would blame him. They quickly came to realize this was teaching kids the wrong lesson that you can't go to trusted adults with things because they won't believe you, and particularly in response to the scandal around priests and alter-boys, they didn't want that to be the message they were putting out. So, he showed up in front of everyone and the adults apologized to Big Bird for not believing him and promise to do better in the future.
Absolutely insane that they realized this in the 90's but people still make children's entertainment revolving around doing the opposite.
I grew up watching Sesame Street and used to get a stomach ache everytime the adults missed seeing Snuffy. Can't believe it was the 90s before the writers got a clue.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I should have looked it up, for some reason I was remembering it being later than it was. It was back in the '85.
That makes it all the more confusing about people later making parodies of Sesame
Street not knowing he was real, like they should have grown up with that being the fact. Anyway, besides the point.
The sheer glee I get when I see you’ve uploaded a new video… 👩🏽🍳 💋
Thank you for echoing what I've been saying forEVER. Children deserve high quality entertainment!
Pretty sure that's Dom DeLuise's son.
He was one of the showrunners of Stargate SG-1.
Hi, PushingUp, I love your content. Every upload brings me great joy. I love your sense of humor and your voice. You are like the best friend I never had, and I would be honored to support your coffee habit. I first got into your channel when I found your video of The Adventures of Pete and Pete which happened to be one of my favorite shows of all time. Now I subscribe and adore your videos and your honest and heart felt personality. Keep up the good work, you are totally awesome.
4:56 - Hard agree that a week is too long; not only did they just get married with this goober springing a new dog on his partner (that it seems wasn't discussed AT ALL not even in a, "hey, pets are nice right" kinda way) but they also are *just* moving in together as a *newly* *BLENDED* *FAMILY* . A sudden week out of town is way, way too long!
I wonder if the actor eating the "hotdog" was vegan and didn't bring it up until the scene was shooting.
The married couple barely knowing each other, and the absolute disrespect toward the wife/mother, are pretty standard for Conservative Christian culture lol. Sad that a few otherwise decent actors had to take this gig.
Howie took "don't be a lawyer" to heart and instead became a dog catcher.
Somehow this movie manages to be even cheaper and more off-putting than A Talking Cat!?!, and that was filmed in a house that was also regularly rented out to porn productions.
Theory: Paula is actually a rhyming demon, a-la Etrigan from DC comics.
Socrates predates Jesus by about 400 years. Was he already a dog as a disciple? Is he immortal or does he reincarnate? I have so many questions
I mean,...I'd sooner buy the idea that he's reincarnated or even trying to put a twist somewhere on the Wandering Jew, even though that tends to be either a Roman soldier (Which is weird that he's called a Wandering Jew) or a rabbi that mocked Jesus on the cross, that situation generally where the folklore comes from: Jesus saying that they won't die until he returns
HORROR MOVIE TRAILER EDIT! HORROR MOVIE TRAILER EDIT!
Btw, I checked out your recent hidden object puzzle game streams on Twitch. Delightful to have more of your work!
My first thought upon seeing the '13th disciple' sticky note was, "Damn, this dog must be old as hell and damned to walk the earth or something."
Imagine if this went into Da Vinci Code territory and they looked closer at The Last Supper and saw a dog curled up under the table
I love it that you are using the Laura Bow and the Dagger of Amon Ra soundtrack
I highly recommend checking out Vampire Dog. He’s a vampire dog except they can’t say blood so he drinks “jelly”, which is to say Jell-O, but they can’t legally say that either so it’s red “JELLY”.
Lol that "Lucifer!" Line, I'm dead!!! 💀
my cat stomped my keyboard and loaded this video (probs cos it was in my recent history) and it loaded up exactly to the moment where you said 'does God fart?' and I have to tell you I lost it. I collapsed in a fit of laughter that scared my cat so badly. I have no regrets tho.
"spaceman spiff" I understood this reference and it made me smile
They had a cute puppy ... and the puppy is cute. That's all I got. Also, Comic Sans on the end credits is somehow not the worst decision.
Roses : Are you a fan of the god Awful Movies podcast; also on youtube? They rip into movies like this weekly, and not only religious films, as they also tackle secular BS like VAXXED, the anti-vaxxer documentary.
They are great. F bombs too. :)
hahaha for the life of me I cannot come up with an explanaction for why that man was eating an empty hot dog bun LOL
I still think alliteration shouldn't count if it's just two words. Anyone can do that.
Yeah, ya gotta commit to at least 2/3 of a sentence when you do that.
Perfectly put proposition!
i suggest you review this series - father brown its like murder she wrote but instead of a writer the main character is a priest. i love it
I love Father Brown!❤
Yesss I love Father Brown!!
I haven’t thought about that show in so long! It was great.
I LOVE father brown!
honestly, especially with there being an explanation to why the dogs lips don't move, something tells me that dog isn't actually an angel sent from heavan, and more a schitzophrenic delusion or something
very son of sam esque
Do you hear that? That rumbling noise, It’s Dom DeLuise rolling in his grave.
Wait, Sox peed on the Christina's boot, but she washed her _hair_ in the next scene? You sure the dad wasn't calling the dog a fire hydrant? 🧐
Whenever a Christian says, "Let's keep this a secret, " run...
The 13th Apostle was Saul of Tarsus (according to Christian, or at least Catholic mythology)
As a Catholic, I can tell you that Saul wasn’t one of the 12 who was with Jesus. His story comes later on the book of Acts and his epistles take up most of the New Testament. But, if you are refering to him as an apostle, then I agree, as the word just means “one who is sent.”
@@andrewollmann304 Yea, he'd be an apostle, not one of the "original" apostles, which apparently did include the 13th MAtthias, even if that was done by the other disciples, not Jesus like with the original 12. WEird I still remember that factoid about the disciples when much of my religious studies were on more general religious philosophy and such, not theology specifically
Mary Magdalene was the OG Apostle, half the world agrees with me, change my mind.
@@Wednesdaywoe1975 I thought she was met later, though it's a whole other question of how many different Marys are in the Gospels: Mary mother of JEsus, Mary of Bethany and Mary Magdalene all come to mind
This was great. I mean not for you... Or cinema... Or anyone really... But it made me smile.
I'm gonna need a lot more than faith to like this film. But you made it funny, Roses!
A TALKING DOG!?!
the tuba music sounds like something You would add to make fun of the scene- not the actual movie…
At least it wasn't another 'Suburban White Family Saves the Neighborhood by Praying Once' kinda movie I guess?
If you like family friendly dog movies, you should do a brief history of the buddy movies. How they are talking puppies now with their own dedicated studio. The super pups TV series is hilarious.
Angel dog saw a conflict between brothers and referenced the 12 disciples instead of Cain and abel? Why
This sounds more like the plot to a horror movie. Trust in God. (Cthulu)
Honestly, based on the husband's comments about how fast this is to his son, I feel like he was just looking for a wife to take care of his kid so he can go on about his business. He probably just swept her off her feet with the idea of blending their families. I'm guessing the kids barely know each other since a lot of people don't introduce their kids to whoever they're dating for a while, let alone really consider that they should give them all a chance to blend as a family before they get married. ETA there are so many secular family friendly movies that teach the same lessons to kids without them feeling like they're being smacked in he face. I don't understand why people that want to make Christian movies don't study them.
It’s a movie I’d definitely never watch or be interested in but oh my, your take was hilarious. Lol Piss poor. 😂
It's taken me all video, but I've finally figured out who the guy playing the agent is: it's Andy Lauer, the roller skating guy from Caroline In The City
Kevin McLeod music is going to one day be the new Wilhelm Scream.
I thought the 13th disciple was Rufus
The actor who plays Dale, he seems really talented. His timing, his delivery, facial expressions. This guy needs to be in more stuff.
The dog saying "Socks" absolutely killed me. I haven't cry-laughed like that in years.
In Dragon Age origins, in a side quest, there's a cat "Kitty" that is a little girl cat and it asked her not to tell anyone because the cat is a demon who possess her owner 😅
Ah yes, The Thirteenth Disciple. I think Antonio Banderas starred in that 90s action film as Bilbo Socrates, a quiet scholar who is whisked away from the comforts of home by Gandalf the Baptist to join a company of Northern Apostles in their battle against a supernatural threat called the Romans. The film was based on a religious poem in alliterative verse called Eaters of the Bread.
And me who was wondering why no one was acknowledging what the heck is the FBDI
Is the David DeLuise in this film related to Dom DeLuise? He did have a son named David...OMG I think it is. Bless his heart.
I do love when there's a new Roses video. :D
Fun fact: Louis is played by David Deluise, son of Dom Deluise.
They seriously used the copyright-free music that @OverlySarcasticProductions has in the background of their Trope Talks videos?
god the dialogue at 3:45 should not make me laugh as hard as it did. why tf was it so funny
For half a second I thought that was Divine in Polyester.
Dale was in Murder, She Wrote!!
The 1994 episode "The Dying Game."
It also has Kate Mulgrew.
I feel like you have to do this episode just for the crossover!!!! 🩵🩵🩵
I think Hooger was likely more of a reference to J Edgar Hoover.
XD *Tuba INTENSIFIES* is my new favourite thing. How dare you threaten me in a confusing not threatening at all? manner... Eep!
