Bad Movie Beatdown (w/

[@FilmBrain]

Originally posted in June 2011, this was the last of three crossovers filmed during the production of Suburban Knights, and my first episode with Todd in the Shadows. This is one of my favourite episodes, although I've made a few cuts here to tighten up the pacing and film clips, removing 34s of footage. Happy Easter, and enjoy!

[@lemuntpicard7482]

Yeah you've produced some good banter with Todd on this one. Thanks for re-uploading it.

Around 16:10, they're walking by a sign for a Christian elementary school. Not only can the Asylum not be bothered to grab extras, they also can't find a high school.

[@otaking3582]

Given everyone's intelligence, I don't think this is Asylum's fault, I just think these kids all got held back by several years.

there's a sign around 16:06 pointing out that this is a Christian elementary school. THIS IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL? WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

[@alexanderfix3629]

Could be that the elementary school and the high school share the same building. One half is the high school and the other is the elementary. I'm probably being generous here, more like as not the Asylum was too cheap and lazy to bother not shooting the sign.

[@mikerivera373]

Let’s be honest, this movie really isn’t a Christian movie. Like Todd said, there’s barely any Christian elements even in it. The church aspect really only exists as a plot/legal device to keep the movie from getting sued by the Disney Channel

[@hew2356]

I've seen plenty of low-budget Christian films and this has to be the dullest one yet. No energy, selfish, unlikable characters, and a plot that doesn't even make sense, much less have a Christian message.

OK, why is she upset about being called boss? I actually thought that was kind of funny. But seriously, why are all the girls that Zack hangs out with so touchy? Andrea doesn’t want him to leave, and savanna can’t handle being called boss. Like he wasn’t even insulting her! Oh well.

The Asylum made this movie. That's right, THE ASYLUM. The people that made Sharknado had a Christian arm of their mostly B movie studio. That means EVERYTHING they make is automatically bad (well, only Sharknado is an original concept and *parody* of disaster movies).

[@FilmBrain]

This is the theme song to the British sitcom Steptoe and Son (which was remade in the US as Samson and Son).

The music wasn't good or anything special, but it was more competent than I'd expect from Asylum.

wait a minute: Your Church, amongst the most sacred parts of Christian living, is being shut down, and you're worried about the CONCEPT!? You guys... aren't Christian at all. Are you?

[@2wingo]

On the other hand, they're teenagers. Teenagers often have problems keeping their priorities in order no matter what religion they follow.

[@michaelhall5429]

Scripturally, the church is anywhere two or more Christian's gather, not a sacramental building. On the other hand scripturally, this movie sucks balls and has no concept of scriptural doctrine and is pandering as a means to increasing the income of a spiritually hollow, christ-veneered business. It's an either/either argument. I think.
