"A town with no churches-" STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! STOP THE MOVIE! Is it weird that that's the point my suspension of disbelief gives up? Like, I can't think of ANY town in America where there's not at least SOME form of church SOMEWHERE.

The first rule of God's Club is you do not talk about god's club.

"What about the Buddhists, the Jews, and the Muslims? Where's their club?" Thats... actually a good point.

Great job Rebecca. Don't try and talk the kid out of suicide by telling him that there are people who love and care about him. Oh no, tell him he won't get into heaven. Yeah, that'll work.

My opinion, but Snob's reviews of bad Christian movies are some of his best work.

Hey movie! I'm a Christian who has clinical depression and once attempted suicide. Prayer has been great, but when I did, God told me to go see my doctor, who prescribed me anti-depressants and referred me to a therapist. God works in mysterious ways.

"What's a resurrection?" An 8th-level spell. ...I'll see myself out

Ironic that this movie appeared to push an agenda against antidepressants when all the actors looked like they're stoned or tranquilized.

"...but there will be consequences." And then they open up an Atheist Club and a Pastafarian Club, and no one can stop them.

Handsome thumb is my new favourite passive-aggressive insult

Suicidality is a psychiatric emergency for which health services are legally obligated to detain you if they believe you're suicidal, depending on the circumstances, and can be liable to malpractice lawsuits if they don't. There are exceptions to this rule, but generally if my patient gave me indications that he was thinking of suicide - going off his meds, changing his core beliefs rapidly and radically, becoming more emotionally unstable - we would be having the 'do you think about dying or killing yourself' conversation immediately or else I'd probably lose my license if I was that psychiatrist/psychologist/whateverthefuckheis. "I feel like dying" is a statement that would cause me first to ask those uncomfortable death-questions and (depending on the answers) recommend inpatient care and try very hard to persuade them to be hospitalized, then document every single minute detail of the conversation. I'm no psychologist or psychiatrist, but even I know that the courts are going to tear that health care guy in the move into little pieces. Fuck this movie.

"You have chemical emotional physical issues." I can tell that the scriptwriter really did their research regarding mental health.

"He looks like a handsome thumb" .. Damn it I laughed a little too hard at that!

"They make it a point to say they live in a town with no churches." Alright, imma stop you right there Gods Club, maybe somewhere in America there's a town like that but it sure as shit is not the town this shlock was filmed in. I live in one the most liberal counties in Texas, and I've seen three totally separate, distinct churches *on the same fucking block.* You could realistically go to a new church to worship every day of the week for a month in this state without travelling more than a few miles. This may not be as terrible or offensive as something like Gods Not Dead, or Voiceless, but I feel I'm on pretty solid ground when I say fuck this movie and all those responsible for its creation.

"Everyone gets depressed sometimes" you would think that a girl whose mom died and dad got clinically depressed would understand what depression actually is but... welp, also "i tried one med and it didnt work, meds r bad" man badly written teen, it took me like 5 before I found one that really worked without serious side effects haha... right now I'm on two at once. It sucks but it's kinda what you gotta do sometimes?

I can't get over the fact that Steven Baldwin's wife dies because he couldn't wait until they got home to make out and had to do it while driving.

As someone who is on anti-depressants and deals with depression, I say FUCK this movie! Even if he was a Christian you can't just pray away an anti-depressant withdraw.

You might as well call this Movie "GOD'S NOT CLUBBING WITH HIS LAST OUNCE OF COURAGE THAT ASKED IF CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA WAS TOTES REAL YO 2".

I dealt with my first depressive episode when I was nine years all. I didn't recognize that it was depression or that I was sick, I just knew that things weren't going well, and I wanted to end my life. A fundamentalist said that people who kill themselves go to hell. It made me feel like something was really wrong with me, and caused me to isolate myself more. I suffered in silence for two years, partly because I feared being judged by others if they found out that I was considering suicide. I often wonder how things would have turned out if I had sought help sooner. Never suggest that someone might go to Hell for suicide. It can be incredibly damaging for some.

I remember there was a group of Christian Parents who fought tooth and nail to get a Bible Group in our school. And complained about how "Just like everyone else deserves their own group" and preached about how diversity in their school should be important. YET... They constantly bitched and demanded the Science and Sex Education classes be completely removed because it goes against WHAT THEY FEEL

At the beginning of the video, I didn't think anything could be more laughable than Stephen Baldwin's constant derp face. Then I watched his attempts at dramatic line delivery.

Still better than a movie that ends with the atheist in a car crash. This one at least had the decency to kill the Christian instead.

My childhood as a preacher's son makes me both love and hate this episode. I love it because I actually got the biblical references made about Job and Isaac which had me in stitches. I hate it because the whiny, self-righteous "You don't need druuuuurgs! You just need to preeeeeaaaaayyyy the depression awaaayyyyyyy!" bullshit gives me horrible flashbacks of my father giving me the same bullcrap speech every single day regarding my depression, medication, and his moral indignation that I dare let a living soul know I'm sad because of how it "reflects on the family." Friends don't let friends become preachers. Or have kids as preachers. Or something. I don't know, I tried to say something funny there and it just fell flat. Forget it.

So am I supposed to ignore the fact the wife took her eyes off the road, caused her own death, and could have killed the other driver?

"It'll be dark soon. . . there is no way out of here. . . it'll be dark soon. . ."

So, I'm a practicing Christian myself, but I honestly love these reviews. These movies are way more cynical than they let on, made by people that think that they can sucker Christians into buying it by putting in no effort and playing up a persecution complex that has a small grain of truth, but just ends up being all the more insidious because of it. I'm offended that these movies exist just to con people of my faith into buying into this crap, and I'm glad someone's knocking them down several pegs.

Sounds like the same driver who appeared in the film God's Not Dead driving on the wrong side of the road. From hit and run to causing the death of another person as they drive away from an accident. There needs to be a an extended scene at the end where Christopher Walken pulls up to the driver who hit Professor Raddison and killed Even's wife and says, "You are the one ....who killed that professor and later a man's wife with your reckless driving right? (pulls out pistol) "The man upstairs sends his regards." (shoots the guy away) (Walken looks at the screen) "They don't call me the angel of death for nothing" (Drives away with the license plate reading D3THANGL)

So, they know what a graphic novel is, but not resurrection. Yeah, okay. It's not like people ever come back from the dead in comic books...

This could have been an episode of "South Park", and they wound not needed to change a thing about it.

Stephen Baldwin looks like a janky CGI model come to life.

@16:30 "Where waz gawd when yo wife died, eh?!" *BUSH-WHACKED!*

The greatest sin in this movie is Steven Baldwin's acting. Every single line is horrendous.

I want to see one of these movies where a cashier at a grocery story suddenly finds Jesus and then refuses to take people's money at checkout because Jesus says, "Money is the root of all evil," leading to her being fired, and then some BS legal battle over it, finally ending when the lead prosecutor drops dead with a metaphorical and literal heart attack and, "Change of Heart," heart transplant, convincing everyone to forget about it and carry on just letting the woman come back to work and give groceries away for free. The End. Brad, make it happen.

"I'm sure their marriage will last a lifetime." Well, you wernt wrong. It lasted exactly one lifetime. Hers.

Watching Stephen's acting in his wife's death scene I can see how he was a shoe in for the role of Barney Rubble in Flintstones: Viva Rock vegas.

Adding the "Psychologist and Drugs are evil" turns this into a Scientology film, not a Christian one God Damn It!

How the hell are there no churches in this town? The most practiced religion here is Christianity. I'm out in the middle of nowhere but i'm a good stone's throw away from *5* churches.

"What's resurrection?" *FACEPALM*

Wow, I think this movie has pissed me off more than all the other propaganda films you've reviewed. I have anxiety and depression, I can't fucking function without my antidepressants. Yeah, if you're a Christian, there' s nothing wrong with praying to help your mental health, but telling a mentally ill person they need to go off their meds because taking meds is un-Christian?? That's so horrible.

Where is this magical town with 2 Christians and no Churches? I think I'd like it there.

Yes, another movie that the Dove Foundation enjoys!!!! This should be fucking good. Brad should do the movie "Loving the Bad Man," which I watched after TBR mentioned it in one of their shows. What the hell, they live in a town with no church? In the United States? Where the fuck is this mythical city without a church?

When are they ever going to make a movie about the persecution of Christians in places like the Middle East and North Korea? Never? Because it doesn't fill their victim complexes? I thought so.

As someone who takes Prozac and is an atheist, Fuck this movie. Prozac does help, I had constant panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, and, guess what, when I was a Christian I felt the same if not worse. I constantly lived in fear as I thought that I was just a puppet in one long puppet show, how everything that went wrong was a malicious attempt by God to make my life miserable, and when I became a atheist the constant idea of burning in hell forever was fucking terrifying. I prayed for things to get better and they didn't. And then I started seeing a therapist and taking meds and while I still have severe anxiety, it's better and getting better.

Back when I delivered pizzas, I always said "keep the faith!" before leaving.

Is emoting in a film a sin? This film almost seems like it was filmed using uncanny valley robots that have poorly functioning emotion subroutines.

I honestly don't know whether to be amused or terrified that there are people who really think movies like this are true to life. I mean, on one hand it's hilarious to make fun of the simple minded religious morons. But on the other hand, if it wasn't for this "mental illness is fixed by prayer not medication and counseling" attitude, I would have gotten the treatment I needed a long time ago.

I should become a DVD box designer. Then I can just print the entire movie's synopsis on the front on the cover like what they did with this movie! Star Wars 4: "They rebelled against Darth Vader and the empire and won!" Star Wars 5: "They rebelled against Darth Vader and the empire and lost!" Alien: "They were all brutally slaughtered by a Xenomorph, except one!" The list goes on...

This is the best Stephen Baldwin comedy since Bio-Dome.

"They live in a town with no churches." Well, there's the problem. This movie about a small town in America isn't set in America. Seriously, I don't think there's a single town in America without at least one church.

I know it's okay to hit the like button because this review is Lloyd approved. Thanks Lloyd.

I died immediately after the handsome thumb line

15:40 Graphic design is my passion

John 7:13: "But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders." In case anyone cared.

I don't get these movies, why are they always victim complexes with evil cartoon atheists? Why not just make them people and have them see eye to eye in some way. Like idk, maybe forming a club outside of school? The refreshing thing about I'm Not Ashamed as bad as it was it was at least about what being a good christian actually was. Ya know, not judgemental and trying to help out others? Tasteless sure but it at least had some level of tact in how it displayed actually good messages, what it failed at was dialogue and reminding you she was going to die with over the top shooters. That's really sad, it really is.

"Just makes me worse" I've been on antidepressants for seven months now and I feel much more like a functional, alive human being than I did in December. It's almost like those pills were meant to sort out my brain's inability to produce the right chemicals!

6:03 and that's when I realized, That's Barney Rubble for Viva Rock Vegas

"Italian Michael Ian Black" oh you are one funny man! I love the Christian movie reviews. You deserve a lot more views and more subscribers.

"... of becoming a christian, or CHRIST-ian, which is where the word christian comes from". mind = blown!

For anyone curious about Cinema Snob's Bible verse retort: Mark 11:25 - And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. John 7:13 - But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders. His retort makes an amusing amount of sense when put into context.

Having movie named "God's Club" and it not being about Odin giving Loki a schooling with a stick is a missed opportunity.

God's Club: No Girls Allowed... or Jews.

The first part of this movie could have replaced the beginning of Signs.

wait which town has only two christians? also any good real estate there?

For an actor that got off drugs through religion, Stephen Baldwin sure looks like he still does Valium.

'Brain and brain! What is BRAIN!?!'

These christploitation movies are infinitely more cringe worthy than the worst horror movies.

The delivery of "He looks like...a handsome thumb" is one of Brad's better line reads. Good shit.

"Borrowing Job's car." God. The shade. Brad. I love you.

I always love seeing brad tear a christian movie apart

I fucking die laughing at the still shots of Steven Baldwin lmao

Does it make anyone else really sad to see Corbin Bernsen, the actor who played Shawn Spencer's Dad in Psych, in _this_ movie?

Sooo, this movie features a clinically depressed kid who is on medication and in therapy to help manage his depression. He seems to be doing reasonably okay with this regimen, I mean, not jumping for joy every second, but at least engaged at school and looking to make new friendships. He then meets a Christian girl who advises him to stop taking the meds and use prayer and bible-reading instead. Aaaaand within a few days of this new treatment plan he becomes literally SUICIDAL, to the point of leaving a suicide note for his father and setting out to kill himself in the next few hours. And this movie is PRO-prayer instead of medication.....? 🤨 What the actual FUCK?!?!? 😖

Between this and Do You Believe?, Shawn Spencer's parents are making some weird choices in their extracurricular activities.

Absolutely love that Caligula poster behind you - I'll trade you one of my Stephen Baldwin collection for it :)

Honestly, as a former christian who has struggled a lot with mental health and suicidal thoughts, I can't stress enough how much I /love/ the Snob's reaction at 23:43 . It's cathartic

I'm a Christian but the views on mental health is dangerous and problematic

Thanks movie box for spoiling the story. I total was worried about whether they were going to be able to save the Bible Club or not!

I'm french and I never ate snails in my whole life ! Actually few people eat snails or froggs in France, that's a stereotype ! In my country, people believe that Americans are really fat and eat hamburgers at every meal. Stop the food stereotypes !

"Somebody could've gotten hurt. You need to apologize." Says the grown man who punched a guy in the face a few scenes back.

You know, at a time like this, I'm reminded of my favorite Bible verse. Ezekiel 23:20... "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

Evens' wife is Dana from Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue.

Thanks Snob! Always love your episodes! :) :)

I am SO totally looking forward to "Jesus, Bro!"

Stephen Baldwin: the Halloween III of Baldwins.

13:17 Those kids read COMIC BOOKS, but they don't know what a resurrection is?!

Growing up in a stifling and suffocating religious household, (depending on who I was staying with), these kinds of movies were top-roster and proudly displayed in our vhs/dvd glass-cabinet library in the tv room. There, they would be watched and discussed for hours on end by other family and/or equally religious fanatic guests who would come over to my family's house for cringe-worthy bible studies, lame songs accompanied by some guy who couldn't play the acoustic to save his life, equally lame jokes and bland snacks. Even though I was always not of their faith and some of my family tended to hate me for it, condemn me and give me a tougher time.... I sometimes did wish there was a god, so he could just zap me with a lightning bolt already and finally put me out of my misery. There is nothing more mind-boggling and infuriating while watching these movies with people so backwards and so brainwashed and unquestioning to anything while they nod their heads and clap in approval to some of the worst movie messages/morals I had ever seen. I have nothing against religious people of any faith. My spouse is a Christian, along with other family friends who also have varying faiths. They are all pretty much normal and down to earth people. I have everything against the willfully ignorant and those willing to try to mentally tear down others not part of their religious 'clan'. These movies bring back bad memories, because anytime I did something 'bad' in their eyes (it wasn't, I just calmly questioned something or politely disagreed with something.), I'd be compared to some 'evil heathen' character in their Christploitation films. If I tried to defend myself, I was punished into writing a single scripture for 500-1000 times and it had to be magnet-ed to the fridge by the morning. I honesty wish that while I was a kid/teen, I had an online community of people who felt the same way I did regarding these almost Twilight Zone-esque films. I seriously thought there really was just something wrong with me and everyone in the world loved these movies and their messages.

At 21:00-21:11 my jaw doped, when I remembered, how close to home this movie hit for Brad. Mr Jones, you have my utmost respect for not only sharing such a private, dark moment of your life with us, but also worked your way through this piece of self-gloryfying slosh to entertain us. Oh, and naughty little self-plugging at the end^^...ok, that sounded wrong...

I love that Armond White's tweet @1:21 has 3 retweets and 7 likes. It just... encapsulates him so well.

11:50 no no no movie, you do not get to do the Jaws zoom.

@5:14 lol, is Stephen Baldwin doing his Barney Rubble impression, which he starred as in The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas.

I totally want a shirt that says "YOU'RE STALLING, MOVIE!"

"If only you had been more supportive of her prayer club.You killed her." lol

"He looks like a handsome thumb." I just died.

Wow. The way this movie treats mental health actually makes me mad... I have depression, along with Aspergers syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. A couple of years ago I tried taking medication and discovered that my brain is wired in a way where antidepressants actually make things worse. Getting off the meds took almost a year. It was a long and miserable, but necessary process to make sure all that bad medicine got out of my system. Since then, I have gotten a lot better through years of therapy. And just in case anyone is wondering, I am an atheist... And I just want to say that just because antidepressants don't work for me doesn't mean they don't work for others. In a lot of cases, they do help... What I'm really trying to say is that this movie's viewpoint on mental health is fucking bullshit! As for Stephen Baldwin... Holy shit is he dead in this role. I agree with the Snob. At least in Bio-Dome (1996) he had some life in him! P.S... Loved the review Brad! Can't wait for Jesus, Bro! (2017)...

These Stephen Baldwin comments are gold Jerry, GOLD!

I have several questions 1st: What town has no churches?! 2nd: Did an old white guy with very flawed knowledge of mental health write this? 3rd: Who talks someone out of suicide by telling them they're not going to heaven?!

"Brain and brain, what is brain?!!" Nice reference! Also, "Why do girls pull hair when they fight?" Jeez. Add some more bullshit to the pile, movie. Why not?

17:29 Teenage girl would be excellent at Cinema Sins.

"He looks like a handsome thumb" 😂 I think I just died..

John 7 verse 13: "Yet no one would speak publicly of him for fear of the leaders." A good comparison to Steven Baldwin, given that talking about him in a positive light will make you a social pariah.
