@@LordArikadoProbably why Christian cinema is so terrible tbh. Creativity can’t really thrive when your audience just wants to be told how mean the world is to them and how stupid and bad non-Christians are over and over and over. It’s frustrating tbh, theres a lot of potential in Christian mythology for good stories but it’s snuffed out by a culture that views complexity and nuance with downright suspicion. It’s both sad and hilarious that I, an atheist, could write better Jesus propaganda than any of these numpties. And I’m not even a writer, I just have basic empathy and a curiosity for how others think.
I’ll never understand how they get that mindset. Like 70% of the country is Christian, every President we’ve ever had has been Christian, the majority of congress is Christian. Yet somehow, they’re persecuted by atheists.
I don't think the average Irish Catholic (pro abortion, pro gay marriage, etc) would be very welcome in whatever parts of America treat this like a real film.
I mean even in America the conservative Catholics are barely tolerated. :p If America declared Christianity as its state religion, it would be more closely aligned to Southern Baptists than Catholicism
I don't think the average non-capitalist christian would be welcomed there... like, those people would for real try to excute jesus if he came back in his middle eastern actual look, and tried telling people to get rid of worldly posessions and to depend on the kindness and generosity of others to survive. seriously, for all their talk about loving jesus they embody ansolutely none of his ideals in the new testament.
@@EmeraldCraft0you mean if he dressed in rags and had a beard I think most people would think he was a craze homeless guy until he starts handing bread and wine from his flesh
Conservatives: Socialist, Socialist, Socialist, In the immortal words of Indingo Montoya " You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means"
The "grandma clutching her rosary beads" metaphor makes me giggle so hard considering evangelicals consider Catholics to be barely a step above pagans.
I still find it hilarious that the first one is sooooo stupid because the entire thing starts with "for the purpose of this class, God is dead" and a student can't do that. And thats basically "for the purpose of this problem, ignore friction" and a student going "i refuse to ignore friction" which is ABSOLUTELY STUPID. The entire premise of the movie is about a student refusing to understand how to put something aside for a basic problem
I think the issue isn't that Josh was refusing to consider an opposing point of view, but rather that Hercules was requiring students to sign a statement of faith that they were atheists (or rather that God is Dead, but I'm not convinced the makers of the movie understood what Nietzche meant by that, so I'll just go with "atheists"). That would absolutely be a violation of their First Amendment rights as students of a public university and in the real world would have Professor Hercules hauled before the faculty dean to give an explanation of why the university is getting sued, but since God's Not Dead is a live action adaptation of a chain email sent by your racist aunt, he instead gets away with it for years until Josh's prayer gives the chalk the power to not break when dropped.
8:10 If I remember correctly my wife told me he was fired from Grey's anatomy because he used homophobic slurs to refer to someone that was gay so seeing him in this 100% checks out.
Oh yeah, we all remember that kid who's already fallen off the christianity wagon, then being that kid. It's so funny the pressure from your parents to just be christian cuz they are. Like I had to take a lutheran church class twice a week in 7th AND 8th grade, and in the class they're constantly telling you "don't do this if you don't really believe" and the whole time we're literally all (6-10 of us) looking at each other knowing our parents would disown us and maybe even kick us out if we said we didn't care about it and didn't wanna go through with it.
They had Dave agree to take the money but not acquiesce to the demands because republican voters have to believe that it's what their real life politicians do, too. The audience *won't* assume cutting the broadcast during a pause would be viewed as a hit piece because the audience doesn't think it's a hit piece when real life politicians get clipped to present a narrative. And no, it *wouldn't* be better for the villain to be smarter because it would confuse the target demographic of the movie.
That's actually a great insight into the target demo. I think that the people who support known liars tell themselves that the liars are fighting other, worse people so they feel better.
Think about the people who consume these movies earnestly. The people who enjoy them without any irony. Surely these people must exist. And they drive. They vote. They go to city hall meetings. They’re your neighbors. It’s terrifying.
Gotta love how the pastor opposes "socialism", whatever the makers of this film think that means, yet as soon as he wins, he immediately embezzles funds for his socialist programs.
The raw milk ice cream joke must have gone under everyone's radar but I just wanted to give you props because that was the icing on the cake!!!!! These people and their unpasteurized obsession...
I just went and read an article about why and it kept insisting he said ‘didn’t use the slur directly referring to a specific person’ and I’m like…. Who you called a slur didn’t matter dude, it’s the use of the slur at all that’s a problem. You should be familiar with the rules around bigoted language as they were established because of the use against people like us….
@@sammyvictors2603 sorry should have explained more I was referring to how the book started as just a straight pro hyper space military, then the movie was satirizing hyper space militaries.
Nobody should have to endure these movies. I am eternally in your debt for making this sacrifice, that we might be entertained at the cost of your sanity.
I'm waiting for the movie where they lose it so badly that they make God an actual character in the movie, just to prove God is, in fact, not dead. Fortunately, I think five of these movies is the lifetime dose limit, so Pat is technichally exempt from having to see anymore of them
You'd think they'd have thrown this script out after that reverend won the Senate seat in Georgia for the Democrats. But I guess they're not going to let a silly thing like reality get in the way of their narrative.
i remember i skipped church camp for a year came back unreligiius as ever to dudes praying about lustful thoughts and this one kid who claimed he successfully prayed the gay away with me and three other guys during a prayer circle he announced it in front of everyone during the last chapel and the three of us stood up- i didn’t know how to feel, just like he seemed happy but i wasn’t to proud of just saying dang, crazy a couple of times, plus like it wasn’t an anti lgbt camp explicitly but it sure wouldn’t have encouraged it i hope he’s out now
i remember- he didn’t tell the group but he told us like x,x,x stand up. Thank you guys for all you did- that problem, it’s gone now” i was like- idk if it works that way while clapping
Oh, hey! I’m an Arkansan! I didn’t realize that the God’s Not Dead movies took place in the natural state. Regardless, I’m so glad I never encountered these movies in the wild
In our theater, the movie had a message from CPAC (Conservative Political Action Committe) at the start urging Christian's to vote for their values and vote conservative more or less.
While Friday the 13th did often include footage from the end of the previous installment, it was never egregious. The real offender was Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2: about 1/3 of the movie (30 minutes!) is footage from part 1.
Remember, in the conservatives persecution complex, even states like Texas are in grave danger of turning into anti Christian liberal hell scapes at any moment
Just in terms of effective propaganda, that's a silly move. Pick a swing state or something. I guess it just makes money to sell back people's own lies.
Yes. Vote. If you don't like either candidate just go based on the policy you wanna see. It's not dating, they don't have to be fully compatible. One of them is going to be in charge like it or not.
They made five of these movies about how the guy is surely alive and he hasn't appeared in the franchise once, even as a cameo? Starting to feel like they're playing Weekend At Bernies with his corpse
Coulda maybe been interesting if he was running against a Republican in the primaries who was hypocritically using the name of God just to push a conservative world-view actually contrary to the compassionate teachings of Christ... Wonder why they didn't go that route? 🤔
As one of the *kids* who saw Gods not dead (the first one) in freaking theaters with my Christian middle school- this was the most cathartic video I’ve seen all week 😂. Sincerely, thank you
So I thought that but I went back and checked the footage and the car license plates are different. A shame, it would’ve actually been way better narratively if he’d done it lol
As a Christian, there is just so much in this movie that pisses me off. The first and foremost being the age old victim complex that conservatives think they are being oppressed under-and the sad thing is that it’s extremely accurate. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been told basic human rights will turn our country into communist North Korea or whatever. Another thing that made me mad was the line from the trailer “I can either do what my faith tells me not to or I can lose this race” and there is just so much wrong with that line. As christians, our job is to be faithful to God first, not politics. If winning the race involved going against your faith, then you’re probably not doing what God wants, just saying. With that trailer line, I almost wondered if they were going to take a different route with the movie where Dave didn’t win the race but realized that he could make a difference in his own smaller community or something, but apparently that’s too cohesive of a plot for this 90-minute propaganda ad. Also, if like to mention I sincerely apologize on the behalf of all the Christian’s who both made this movie and just act like this in general. I promise you we aren’t all like that, and it makes me so upset that the loudest voice are the only ones heard. I don’t know if any of this long rant is coherent, I just really needed to scream into the void lol. Anyway great video, Pat. I hope you recover from the sheer amount of trauma that watching hours of conservative content brings.
I don't know if I've ever properly expressed this in the videos, but growing up around so many Christians I think that's what bothers me the most about these films. They're a bad representation of what billions of people believe in, and they hurt their credibility. I could write a better religious film in my sleep.
8:11 Let's not forget that Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey's Anatomy for calling actor T.R Knight (Who is openly gay) a f**g*t He deserves everything he gets. Full stop.
I’m definitely not the first person to say this and I won’t be the last, but it certainly betrays the bravado these films try to put on that they feel the need to constantly reiterate how God’s not dead rather than letting their first outing speak for itself.
15:13 ok, in defense of the coffee thing, as an ex-vengelical, idk wtf it is about Protestants and coffee, but man everything they do seems to do revolve around coffee. Like coffee hour after a service is basically church part 2 - Semler even wrote a song called “Wanna Grab Some Coffee” to explain how Christians will try to lure you back in by evangelizing at you and shaming you for falling from the faith at your local Starbees. Kinda like Mormons and specialty soda, ya know, it’s like another 3rd space option that somehow has merged into Christian culture. The Protestant can’t truly ever be separated from his coffee, and the natural biproduct of that is that the evangelicals responsible for this film inevitably had to have at LEAST one coffee moment in this series. Is a weird, repetitive, dumb choice? Yes. Imo. Yes it is. However, I would like to suggest that this was a hilarious inevitability.
I love how often he uses a quick Always Sunny clip here and there! It’s still my favorite show and have watched it soooo many times over the years! It’s what I watch before bed every night 😂 Anyway my point is…. KEEP ROCKING BRO 🤟😝
The "God's not the target, it's the country; God's just standing in their way" line sounds WAY too much like Trump's "They're not coming after me, they're coming after you, I'm just standing in your way." They really want viewers to conflate Trump and God.
omg I'm so here for The Candidate love! I watched it and Joe (1970) in the same week after seeing them both referenced in the book Nixonland by Richard Perlstein. What a pair of films to showcase Peter Boyle's range!
YES! I'm glad someone commented... It's probably my favorite political movie of all time, bar none. I think it perfectly summarizes the American political moment in a way that was relevant when it was made and is even more relevant now. Robert Redford being dreamy is a plus, but the thematic messaging cuts through regardless.
Taking one for the team and appreciate it. My morbid fascination with these movie is far reaching but value my free time too much to spend even more of it doing something I like even less than going to work every morning.
Thank you for staying sober through these movie reviews, I know that must take a lot of willpower lol XD I've been fascinated by these God's Not Dead movies since i first heard about them...not enough to actually watch them, but hearing the synopsis of them
I guess the lesson is: take dirty money, christian nationalism is just a label like "racist", and ignore everything your opponent says. Really sounds like apologia for trumpism.
This was my first ever visit to this channel. My response? SUBSCRIBED! I laughed often. It's hard to get me to laugh because comedy isn't as intelligent as it used to be. This was informative and entertaining. Good job.
8:50 As a Socialist I wish that were the case. Still need to contend with the useless psychopathic Ultra rich 1% who profit and are accountable for most of societie's socio-economic problems.
The movie had an African-American make this bizarre brushing off the founding father’s owning slaves(no for real they did that) America has this weird thing with revisionist history
This is a movie trying to make a point about Christian persecution in politics when half the politicians in the country are Christian nationalist. The phrase "tone deaf" feels inadequate.
I will say this is an unintentionally hilarious direction to take the franchise in after movie 4 was all about how it's unfair to ask pastors for transcripts proving they aren't engaging in partisan politics
Wait, is it normal to pay around 19 to go to the theater now? I haven’t been in many years, but that’s crazy, especially for a “movie” like this. Glad I stopped going but I miss it sometimes
My normal theater is usually a little cheaper, I had to drive outside of the city to go to one in the suburbs. So I was shocked that it was $19. I’m an AMC A-List member though, so for most movies (literally every single movie I’ve tried except for this one) I can go see without paying more than the 25 per month A-List costs. Works out to breaking even with 2 movies per month.
ConnorEatsPants fan 🙏. That Santos livestream was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Going from debating genocide to talking about shield pots in one sentence. It was art. Kino, even
I want to see... a Christian dystopian future where the leftists won. And I want it made in the style of God's not dead. You know, because of the hilarity of it all.
I'm a Christian and I can't stand these awful, evangelical, fundie films. I'm ashamed and embarrassed of these fundies and their delusions. I do hope, however, to satirize them in a book one day.

It's either God (Christian variety), fairies, Odin, or the ineffable will of the psychic ducks from Mars. Only time will tell
I think these movies show that a god does not exist, or if it does, it's a cruel one.
Chat is this real
Pat watching all the God's Not Dead movies so we don't have to. I salute your service, sir!
As one of the *kids* who saw Gods not dead (the first one) in freaking theaters with my Christian middle school- this was the most cathartic video I’ve seen all week 😂. Sincerely, thank you
pat you have no clue how desperately i needed this
Wasn't it Mark who hit-and-run the antagonist professor in the first movie???
So I thought that but I went back and checked the footage and the car license plates are different. A shame, it would’ve actually been way better narratively if he’d done it lol
I respect you for going through all these movies.
As a Christian, there is just so much in this movie that pisses me off. The first and foremost being the age old victim complex that conservatives think they are being oppressed under-and the sad thing is that it’s extremely accurate. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve been told basic human rights will turn our country into communist North Korea or whatever.
Another thing that made me mad was the line from the trailer “I can either do what my faith tells me not to or I can lose this race” and there is just so much wrong with that line. As christians, our job is to be faithful to God first, not politics. If winning the race involved going against your faith, then you’re probably not doing what God wants, just saying. With that trailer line, I almost wondered if they were going to take a different route with the movie where Dave didn’t win the race but realized that he could make a difference in his own smaller community or something, but apparently that’s too cohesive of a plot for this 90-minute propaganda ad.
Also, if like to mention I sincerely apologize on the behalf of all the Christian’s who both made this movie and just act like this in general. I promise you we aren’t all like that, and it makes me so upset that the loudest voice are the only ones heard.
I don’t know if any of this long rant is coherent, I just really needed to scream into the void lol. Anyway great video, Pat. I hope you recover from the sheer amount of trauma that watching hours of conservative content brings.
I don't know if I've ever properly expressed this in the videos, but growing up around so many Christians I think that's what bothers me the most about these films. They're a bad representation of what billions of people believe in, and they hurt their credibility. I could write a better religious film in my sleep.
God's Not Dead: Our Fantasy of Owning the Libs
🤣
8:11 Let's not forget that Isaiah Washington was fired from Grey's Anatomy for calling actor T.R Knight (Who is openly gay) a f**g*t
He deserves everything he gets. Full stop.
Well I did not know that rip
I’m definitely not the first person to say this and I won’t be the last, but it certainly betrays the bravado these films try to put on that they feel the need to constantly reiterate how God’s not dead rather than letting their first outing speak for itself.
Love that you mentioned "comedy without a net" 😂😂
If you want to talk about an actually good standup special now…
I like the idea that the stakes being raised each movie means that we may eventually get a God's Not Dead in Space.
15:13 ok, in defense of the coffee thing, as an ex-vengelical, idk wtf it is about Protestants and coffee, but man everything they do seems to do revolve around coffee. Like coffee hour after a service is basically church part 2 - Semler even wrote a song called “Wanna Grab Some Coffee” to explain how Christians will try to lure you back in by evangelizing at you and shaming you for falling from the faith at your local Starbees. Kinda like Mormons and specialty soda, ya know, it’s like another 3rd space option that somehow has merged into Christian culture. The Protestant can’t truly ever be separated from his coffee, and the natural biproduct of that is that the evangelicals responsible for this film inevitably had to have at LEAST one coffee moment in this series. Is a weird, repetitive, dumb choice? Yes. Imo. Yes it is. However, I would like to suggest that this was a hilarious inevitability.
Thank you for the Comedy Without a Net clip, that made me really happy
If this GAAAD thing isn't dead then why do we need to be reminded of it with an entire Hollywood franchise?!
Ray Wise has a pretty wild career. From killing RoboCop, to Red Alert 2, to fundamentalist cinema.
That is a wild ride.
Can't wait for God's Not Dead 6 "One Nation Under God" where Dave becomes president and institutes christian theocracy.
I love the IAS clips in this vid it's so funny. Love your content!!!!
I love how often he uses a quick Always Sunny clip here and there! It’s still my favorite show and have watched it soooo many times over the years! It’s what I watch before bed every night 😂
Anyway my point is…. KEEP ROCKING BRO 🤟😝
The "God's not the target, it's the country; God's just standing in their way" line sounds WAY too much like Trump's "They're not coming after me, they're coming after you, I'm just standing in your way." They really want viewers to conflate Trump and God.
The Burl Ives’ Rudolph reference right after the Preston Burke/Isaiah Washington reference just sent me into FULL orbit, dear GOD Patrick
hehe when a reference really hits, that's what we do it for
I'd go see gods not dead 6 with you pat
Cant wait for your next video, kind Pat!
omg I'm so here for The Candidate love! I watched it and Joe (1970) in the same week after seeing them both referenced in the book Nixonland by Richard Perlstein. What a pair of films to showcase Peter Boyle's range!
YES! I'm glad someone commented... It's probably my favorite political movie of all time, bar none. I think it perfectly summarizes the American political moment in a way that was relevant when it was made and is even more relevant now. Robert Redford being dreamy is a plus, but the thematic messaging cuts through regardless.
Wow, there's so many has-been celebrities in these movies, huh?
Aw man, that sick Garfield Assassination joke really got me. Truly, Pat is on the cutting edge of topical comedy.
Taking one for the team and appreciate it. My morbid fascination with these movie is far reaching but value my free time too much to spend even more of it doing something I like even less than going to work every morning.
Thank you for staying sober through these movie reviews, I know that must take a lot of willpower lol XD I've been fascinated by these God's Not Dead movies since i first heard about them...not enough to actually watch them, but hearing the synopsis of them
I guess the lesson is: take dirty money, christian nationalism is just a label like "racist", and ignore everything your opponent says. Really sounds like apologia for trumpism.
"I go to the bathroom where I was born.".
So Little Timmy,were you a Prom Night Dumpster Baby??😢😅😊😮
Your friends may call you Pat, but I call you SAVAGE. 😎
This was my first ever visit to this channel. My response? SUBSCRIBED! I laughed often. It's hard to get me to laugh because comedy isn't as intelligent as it used to be. This was informative and entertaining. Good job.
getting an add for Pureflix on this video is quite funny.
Jesus. Where do you live where just a ticket is $19?!
Master Not Taking the Baiter
Yeah, I hooted at that!
8:50 As a Socialist I wish that were the case.
Still need to contend with the useless psychopathic Ultra rich 1% who profit and are accountable for most of societie's socio-economic problems.
The movie had an African-American make this bizarre brushing off the founding father’s owning slaves(no for real they did that) America has this weird thing with revisionist history
This is a movie trying to make a point about Christian persecution in politics when half the politicians in the country are Christian nationalist.
The phrase "tone deaf" feels inadequate.
Patrick’s a master not taking the baiter? I’m like, the opposite of that 😂
I will say this is an unintentionally hilarious direction to take the franchise in after movie 4 was all about how it's unfair to ask pastors for transcripts proving they aren't engaging in partisan politics
Seeing completely sloshed Pat ripping these movies apart would being me immense joy, ngl
Watching this after the election is
I don’t have any words. Here come the camps
the assassins musical clip got me
My favourite Sondheim. (Yeah, I said it, Sweeney Todd.)
Wait, is it normal to pay around 19 to go to the theater now? I haven’t been in many years, but that’s crazy, especially for a “movie” like this. Glad I stopped going but I miss it sometimes
Depends on the theater. Bigg city theaters charge more.
Depends on where the theater is, when the showtime is, and who owns the theater
I think Pat said he's in Massachusetts, so yes on a non-discount night it's $19 bucks
My normal theater is usually a little cheaper, I had to drive outside of the city to go to one in the suburbs. So I was shocked that it was $19. I’m an AMC A-List member though, so for most movies (literally every single movie I’ve tried except for this one) I can go see without paying more than the 25 per month A-List costs. Works out to breaking even with 2 movies per month.
@@freyja3120 Yeah I was being dumb, I didn’t think to just look up prices, it’s about the same here.
Thank you.
Ray Wise was great when he played the Devil on Reaper, a TV comedy aired 2007-9.
I love how he said master not taking the bater
ConnorEatsPants fan 🙏. That Santos livestream was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Going from debating genocide to talking about shield pots in one sentence. It was art. Kino, even
The Campaign is an excellent movie that is extremely relevant today, Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell are amazing in it.
"Like putting a little bit of poop in a freshly baked pie" what a similie! 😅
I want to see... a Christian dystopian future where the leftists won. And I want it made in the style of God's not dead. You know, because of the hilarity of it all.
I'm a Christian and I can't stand these awful, evangelical, fundie films. I'm ashamed and embarrassed of these fundies and their delusions.
I do hope, however, to satirize them in a book one day.
