Clearly all these Christian movie franchises are building up so they can merge together into one big wonderful cinematic universe that will rival the MCU.

[@sloopfan3706]

Obviously

[@reaganbartels9993]

It'd probably be better than the DCEU.

The final movie is where Richard Dawkins tries to gather the armor of God to snap half of all religious people into non-existence.

[@thenightrider2121]

The joint wedding/funeral... I kind of love it in a "What were they thinking?" kind of thing. That felt more fitting for a Naked Gun type film than whatever this was.

[@zappodude7591]

Catching Faith: Homecoming? Wow now I'm all excited for Catching Faith: Far From Home and then God's not Dead: Endgame where Bibleman, Pastor Dave, Donkey Ollie, and the old lady from War Room team up to save Psalty from Professor Radisson, who has traveled forward in time to prevent his own conversion, as well as take 6 verses out of context (each corresponding with a colored page of the wordless book) in order to assemble the Apostasy Gauntlet and turn half of Earth's Christians into Atheists.

I thought combo weddings/funerals were a relic from 1862, when you had to wait for that one weekend a year when the mutton-chopped traveling preacher would be making his way through town before you could marry or bury. And yet, here we are. Well, I'm off to color a picture of a tree and get my life in order.

Random recommendation: review “Belle & the Beast: a Christian Romance” released in 2007. It is an absolute GEM of a film! My family still watches it to get a good laugh! Maybe for a Valentine’s Day special?

[@NicolePotgieter]

YES! It is a gem.

[@reaganbartels9993]

The conflicts in this movie: 1. Upper class woman can't fit in taking care of her mom, planning her daughter's wedding, and her dream career, despite the fact that she doesn't need the job and she could hire someone to help with either or both of the other things. 2. Upper class last doesn't like the mom of the guy her daughter's marrying despite having no objections to the groom himself. 3. Upper class lady's son got injured and can't play pro football, but has a new job immediately lined up in the field he wanted to be in.

[@jessio.4689]

I would never have known of this movie’s existence if it weren’t for this critique. I’m both amazed and horrified by your dedication to being reasonable and thorough in critiquing this gem. Meanwhile, I’m over here muttering in distress and have devolved into chucking popcorn at my screen.

I honestly appreciate you so much Kevin. Whenever I as a Christian used to tell other Christians about how I found most Christian movies to be way too cringey they always used to go off at me. Then when I found your channel I was really encouraged to see another Christian who thinks along the same lines as I do. So thanks for that. :)

How much money did this movie make? I didn't know there was a sequel to this. Why didn't they advertise it?

[@kayteeASMR]

She wanted the wedding and funeral together because she didn't get enough attention at Grandpas funeral. I thought she might have matured...i mean...since she didn't cheat on her test and that was so "hard". I bet that a family member killed Grandma, although I fully support the theory about the reindeer. They just hired a reindeer to kill her.

[@rebekahmartin3289]

I really like the tone of this review. You balance being funny but not being mean really well. Thanks for making me laugh really hard today!

If he was playing professional football, he still gets paid while he's injured, unless he decides on his own to retire. There IS a union. I went and checked, and they never gave Alexa's parents a last name.

[@Shenaldrac]

As someone who's grandma has dementia.... yeah it's rough. I don't live with her, but I try to call her every weekend. My aunt lives with her and is her caretaker, and wow I don't know how she does it. To me, it feels like my grandma, my Nona, died several years ago and the shell of her body is still walking around. Every time I call her, she asks the same questions. "Where are you living now? Oh, Oregon, that's nice. Do you have an apartment? Good. Is it furnished? Oh that's so good to hear." Yes Nona, I moved her over two years ago, I have told you this dozens of times and you just do not remember. She'll often ask about or tell me the same thing multiple times over the same conversation. My family tells me that hearing from me means a lot to her, that it helps, but... I don't see it, how can any of it help when she doesn't remember any of it? And it's stressful for me as well. It's not a pissing contest, obviously it's worse for her, but it's not like my stress from it doesn't matter just because she's effected even worse. I have to deal with these calls that feel pointless, and hearing her voice, but it's like there's just less and less of her every month and... Man, it's scary too! I don't ever want that to happen to me! The very thought of being like that, of not being able to remember, of hurting the people around me without even realizing it, it's terrifying. I'd rather die than be in her position, horrible as it might sound for me to say that. I don't want my boyfriend to ever have to deal with me in that kind of situation, or my family. Just... it's tough. So yeah all that by way of saying, I can definitely see the family eventually just kind of... sometimes talking like the old woman isn't there because in five or ten minutes she won't remember any of this anyway. I'm not saying it's good, I'm not a specialist, a mental health professional. Maybe it really is bad for someone with dementia or alzheimers to have people verbally ignoring them like that, not engaging and reminding them. I don't know. But I can definitely see how they'd reach a point where they're just tired and don't see the point in telling grandma for the, literally, thousandth time who that strange woman at the table is. How it would be easier and seemingly not at all harmful to just ignore her and wait for her memory to jog back. Growing old is _scary._ edit: Okay the cake eating thing sounds godawful though. Laughing at the mentally ill is vile.

I recommend watching this movie review in 2x speed because it makes the entire movie feel like a fever dream. Highly recommend.

The movie is so tone deaf I'm surprised they didn't just have mother's ashes be a substitute for rice and rose petals.

[@two_coats_and_two_root_beers]

I still don't get how reflecting on feelings and coloring constitutes a Bible Study. Imagine if studying for school was like this xD

Even if it was something for mental health, sitting that close together and colouring (rather than, say, writing or just drawing) is so darn awkward.

Catching Faith 2: Coloring Inside The Lines

[@AnneIllustrating]

How did Catching Faith get a sequel at all, let alone one that ended up being even more out of touch than the last? I honestly cannot think of a single person in my life that wouldn’t roll their eyes at the way these women handle their plights.

[@sirhscorpio]

Catching Faith 4 is going to happen in SPACE!

[@calebb8355]

Kevin, can you do a review of the Last Chance Detectives? It was a show done by Focus on the Family, the minds behind Adventures in Odyssey. Or, could you do some reviews of those animated shows? I know for a fact that you would have fun reviewing "The Knight Travelers." It's on Amazon Prime. Also, something else fun to consider, Psalty and the church mouse choir. Much more trippy than the camping episode.

[@InclementFilms]

I yelled, “WHAT?!” Out loud way to many times. I couldn’t believe that Catching Faith actually got a sequel. This feels surreal. Ha ha!

[@Officerpranky]

I love these videos, and you're hilarious. I just wanted to point out that, at least in Tx, it isn't at all unusual to be on a little league or public school team with one or two girls at least. In fact, there was a girl I grew up with who always towered over all the boys on the team and lifted weights with us in the highest max group. I wanted to inform because of the way you mention it occasionally. Although I know most girls aren't huge, I have potent painful memories of every kid who played football in my neighborhood regularly being flattened by one girl in particular. I'm not super passionate about the issue or angry because I'm aware of the fact that even girls can get big muscles (and some start out with the biggest muscles). This is all to say that I honestly think the same logic applies to everyone- frail boys or girls might get hurt playing football and likely won't enjoy it anyways.

[@Officerpranky]

long story short, I stopped playing football in middle school because it involved regularly being demolished by a girl.

[@lordofthereels6790]

Have you seen the Bill Paxton directed and starting Matthew McCoughney flick Frailty? In my opinion it's a masterpiece of a religious horror drama that's an interesting look at mental illness vs the nature of faith about these boys in small town Texas in the 1970's whose father says an Angel told him to kill people who were really demons and what it does to the kids and their relationship with their father. It's word of mouth has lessened since it's release but it was one of Sam Raimi, Stephen King, James Cameron and Roger Ebert's favorite movies when it came out and DAMN it REALLY holds up. I'm curious what you think of it as a religious flick. Keep up the great work :)

The thought that she might be marrying her brother also crossed my mind, but more as a joke than anything else. Am I a bad Christian?
