What happens when a queer director who grew up going to Christian schools finally gets a chance to make a movie about it? The results are a movie that starts out as a dark comedy and somehow ends as a Lifetime Original movie. Dan and Ryan discuss the highs and lows of 2004's Saved starring Jena Malone, Mandy Moore, and Macaulay Culkin. It's a mix of spot-on satire and cringey comedic bits that haven't aged well, with some confusing theological messaging thrown in for good measure. But you get to hear Dan and Ryan talk about their respective experiences with Christian sex ed! It's as horrifying as you think.

Dan and Ryan continue their journey through the strangest TV series they've ever encountered. They learn why earrings are bad, why some of the movies they've watched for this podcast are good, and why Gates needs to be monitored by the authorities at all times.

Ryan and Dan are joined by Kristen McKenzie of Highwire Improv to talk about an episode of Touched by an Angel featuring a young Alyson Hannigan. Questions are raised about how far into the future angels can see, what their spending limit is, and why God's hands seem to be tied when it comes to American healthcare. Also, fax machines are destroying our children!!

Here's what we were able to piece together from this week's movie: Long ago, God created a perfect race of angels. And one of the angels was more perfect than any of them. He was so perfect that he was actually the worst one. And he started breaking God's laws, which none of the angels understood because nobody had ever broken them before. The evil angel started a rebellion against God, which God refused to destroy because otherwise it might have led to rebellion. Then God felt lonely so he created a new planet with humans, and it was a perfect paradise, so perfect that it was surprisingly easy for Satan to corrupt. God seems to be 0 for 2 with perfect paradises.

Chuck Norris ventures into the West to stop a horde of ghosts in their deadly path.

The pope has died, but for one weekend, two down-on-their-luck bishops need to keep the world convinced that he's still alive, all while trying to hide from the mob. Featuring elaborate comedy set pieces and a hilarious musical number written by Weird Al, this is one movie you don't want to miss! Weekend at Benedict's comes to theaters this July!

Gramps is back! Dan and Ryan dive back into the world of Donald James Parker in order to discuss the cinematic disaster that is In Gramps' Shoes. It's a gripping story about a woman drowning in four thousand dollars of debt, who reconnects with her estranged, Harry Potter-hating father. He changes their lives and shows off his favorite baseball hat. The movie also runs a quick errand to Walmart for a strange assortment of items that have nothing to do with the story, but it's nice to know that someone grabbed potato chips while they were out.

Dan and Ryan learn some heartfelt lessons about making babies cry and setting your local woods on fire while dropping some life-changing knowledge about Hebrew words and the trials and tribulations of Mr. Dill Tudd. #lovewins
