On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are joined by extra special guest, Greg Vander Velde (of our A Low Down Dirty Shame episode fame), as we all become the prehistoric animal raging inside us all with the Brendan Steere film from 2018, The VelociPastor.
Have you ever had an experience, let’s call it a “holy” experience (to stay on brand), that makes you question so much of what you know? You think you understand movies, what makes them good, and why the bad ones are just not worth your time. Your life is running smoothly in one happy direction and then BAM! you’re blindsided by a creation so unique that your entire life needs to change.
You’re the modern Paul, becoming all Jesus-loving while on the road to Damascus. And what does it? Why, a stupid movie about a priest who can transform, seemingly at will, into a large dinosaur and must defeat loads of questionably sourced ninjas while gettin’ it on with the aforementioned hooker-doctor-lawyer.
Yep, like a tale right out of the Bible. It’s so universal!
Like many of the other terrible movies we’ve watched for this show, we recommend that you view this with a friend. Somehow, there’s some high-level movie-making going on here, but that’s all sandwiched between two hearty loaves of absolute nonsense. The weird bits go down smoother when you’ve got someone else to enjoy the journey with.
This being a B-movie bonus episode, listen in to discover how we rated this… masterpiece? Did we consider it a blunder of a film? Was it a flunder? Or perchance did we bestow upon it the highest ranking we have: brilliant?
