Heath Lambert, host of That's So Random and film pod pro, joins to critique In God's Time. They trace the watchmaker motif and Pulp Fiction-like structure. Scenes discussed include gritty apartment tropes, a truck-dwelling arc, AA dilemmas, sentimental flashbacks, and the film’s tidy spiritual wrap-up.

Zach (Zak), co-host of Jesus Stole Our Movies, brings his cult-film commentary and satanic-panic-era censorship know-how. The conversation skewers Commander Kelly and the Super Kids: Sword with bite-sized takes on awkward production, bizarre costumes, culty prayer scenes, and a baffling superweapon. Fast, funny, and full of incredulous reactions.

This week, we welcome Nic Cage back into our lives with an atheist review of The Carpenter's Son. It's a movie so nakedly blasphemous and divorced from its source material that we very nearly got upset on Christianity's behalf.To see us live in San Francisco, click here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/god-awful-movies-live-in-san-francisco-california-tickets-1976632374642If you’d like to make a per episode donation and get monthly bonus episodes, please check us out on Patreon: http://patreon.com/godawfulCheck out our other shows, The Scathing Atheist, The Skepticrat, Citation Needed, and D&D Minus.Our theme music is written and performed by Ryan Slotnick of Evil Giraffes on Mars.

Cara Santa Maria joins us for an atheist review of Hell and Mr. Fudge, another one of those "based on a true story" movies about a bunch of inscrutable church drama that makes no sense to people standing outside the religion.To see us (including Cara!) live in San Francisco, click here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/god-awful-movies-live-in-san-francisco-california-tickets-1976632374642Check out more from Cara on the Talk Nerdy podcastIf you’d like to make a per episode donation and get monthly bonus episodes, please check us out on Patreon: http://patreon.com/godawfulCheck out our other shows, The Scathing Atheist, The Skepticrat, Citation Needed, and D&D Minus.Our theme music is written and performed by Ryan Slotnick of Evil Giraffes on Mars.

Lydia Smith, a researcher and fact-checker from Where There's Woke, and Thomas Smith, a context-minded commentator from the same show, join the conversation. They dig into No Safe Spaces' production backers and inflated cancellation claims. They examine campus controversies, PR stunts, and how footage and anecdotes are framed to trumpet a free-speech crisis.
