413 - Jesus Wept (for Brandt) (4/23/20)
🕑 Added 2020-04-24 03:56:02 +0000 UTCWe review Assassin 33 A.D., a film that is both a shockingly sophisticated meditation on Christian faith and theology, and one where Jesus Christ gets double-tapped in the head by a Tier 1 operator named Brandt.

Great first half but after they shoot Jesus.. I remember now that I hate time travel for its ability to ruin a narrative

My fellow Chapo’s - please seek out a movie called Pool Boy: Drowning Out The Fury starring Kevin Sorbo. You will not be disappointed.
I commented something similar on the YouTube upload of this episode. Really disappointed the boys didn't mention it!

Michael Moorcock wrote a similar story in 1966, Behold the Man. Dude goes back to see Jesus. Finds he's developmentally disabled and becomes Jesus because he's so invested in the idea of Jesus.

As a former evangelical Christian who used to watch movies like this, I really enjoyed this review. I am almost tempted to watch the actual movie.

Wow, the joke completely went over your head. The irony is clearly lost on you, and you don't understand the fun of watching bad movies. Unsubscribe. They don't really need your money.
welcome to chapo, just cancel

I didn’t pay money for a movie review podcast. I’m close to canceling.

“This is my first foray into politics, I’m not used to being on the losing side yet. I’m not paying less than a happy meal a month to listen to you yuppie needs talk about movies! NO FUN ALLOWED! If you don’t rage against the machine every episode, how can I be cooler than my LIB friends‽ unsubscribed.” Honestly? Good fucking riddance. Im all for valid criticism, and there’s some to be had lately, but stuck up people like the ones leaving rn are alienating and irritating, they’re the last kind of person I’d want hanging around.

People keep saying this is a comedy podcast, but this movie review is anything but funny. It’s just dumb. They are movie snobs. I stumbled upon Chapo due to Michael Moore and subscribed since they gave some good criticism of Dems in regards to Bernie’s campaign. But first trashing the Star Wars prequels and then criticizing the Avengers and many other movies would be fine (I would strongly disagree, but I could understand some arguments). But no, they loved this piece of shit even though it is racist and has limited female characters. I regret subscribing to this, but I am glad I sat thru this episode to see how dumb they are.
I am so confused as to whether this is a bit or you're just a massive lib

if I think about it as a bit it actually becomes hella funny
is this a bit?

This was fascinating, thank you Chapo! Hey, when is Christman going to give his report on The View? or did i miss it. Next time somebody loses a bet can they be forced to listen to John Podhoretz's podcast? It comes out 5 days a week now.
go watch HBO's Watchmen and enjoy its sophisticated political messages like "duuuuhhh if a Hollywood actor was President, all the cops would be black and they wouldn't be allowed to use guns unless they ran down a long list of regulations & red tape" then
You know you can skip them if you don't like them right? I have less than zero interest in the Star Wars franchise and have never seen the prequels so I did not listen to those shows. You can disagree with people in one field without writing off everything they have to say in other fields...
