All I'm gonna do is say I'm chockin', all I'm gonna do is say I'm chockin', so re-dream initials, oh this feels so good... Greetings friends its Chopo, Monday April 25th and we're back again... Today we are returning to, you know, a topic, a thread that runs throughout the course of our show... That's right, we're back at the movies, but we are talking about religion, God at the movies. Today we are considering a film that asks the important questions about man, faith, his

relationship to God, and why does the Almighty give his most brutal car accidents and incurable diseases to his strongest soldiers? That's right. Hello, Mudda. Hello, Fadda. Stu. We're talking about Mark Wahlberg masterpiece, Father Stu. Hello, Mudda.

Hello, Fadda. Here I am at Camp Torcamata. The Catholic Church is at the movies, folks, and I'll say just right off the bat, say what you will about the Catholic Church. They make better movies than evangelicals. No, they don't. Joining us for the... No, no.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Joining us for this discussion into faith and the cinema is, of course, Matt and Felix as always, but joining us today, the pot about list boys. How's it going, gang? Hi. Hi. It's good. I'm feeling full of belief.

I'm ready. This movie taught me what happens when you risk it all for a thick Latina. Yeah, I have a lot of comments on this movie, but first, I'm going to take issue with the idea that Catholics make better movies than evangelicals. Evangelicals are always trying to make one of two movies. They're either trying to make Armageddon or they're trying to make You've Got Mal. They're trying to make a cute romantic comedy about two people avoiding hell or they're trying to save the world.

Catholics have some artsy bullshit thing in them where they're trying to make You Can Count on Me or some other early 2000s indie boom film starring Mark Ruffalo. The last quarter of this movie was excruciating. It was essentially a whisper core indie film about a man with Catholic ALS who the longest last five years of his life ever. I've never seen a worse advertisement for Catholicism for Mark Wahlberg. Mark Wahlberg and his thick Latina co-star, they had the chemistry of a grub hub driver and a doorman who don't share a comic home.

This was a wretched film and I will be awarding the titles of Wardens of the Faith to the Protestants. I understand what you mean, Felix. This was a chore to get through, but also Catholics, they will put some swear words. They'll put some spice in. I give them that at least. It was a complete chore, but luckily me and Cameron saw it at AMC. So Ryan Reynolds Aviation Gin got us through the front of the first half of the movie.

I saw this with my mom at a Cineplex. I think it was called CineMark. I had one voodoo ranger and then I fell asleep. That is how they intend you to see this movie. You either have to be drinking or a hundred years old to truly enjoy it to the fullest. Either way, you will be nodding off in the theater. I disagree. I give this movie five bags of communion wafers.

It was a journey of faith and suffering. The message in the movie is that suffering brings you closer to Jesus Christ and watching the movie certainly brought us all closer to God. But it's true. It really makes you feel it. It's like just being there and listening to him, you know what Christ's torments of the cross were like. I mean, yeah, walking out of that theater, I definitely felt like I was two hours closer

to heaven for sure. This is obviously a very personal movie for Mark Wahlberg. It's a great platform to launch the Hallow app, the Catholic Meditation app that you can download on your phone and get daily devotionals from Mark Wahlberg that will definitely bring you closer to God as we'll see in this movie. Also featured in this movie is of course Mel Gibson, probably Hollywood's most famous Catholic. I don't know if you guys know this or not, this movie is directed and written by Mel Gibson's

girlfriend. Yes. Really? Oh my God. Damn. It's like these are two prominent men of the Catholic faith who have suffered the anguishes of this fallen world of sin. They've been punished.

They've been brought low. Mark Wahlberg for blinding that Vietnamese man and Mel Gibson for the ard by a pack of N's phone call. But no matter where, no matter how low you fall, you're never far from God's grace. As Father Stu says in the movie, you don't need a prison guard's approval to talk to God. He'll always pick up the phone. Well, I think the redemption is in and of the movie itself.

Mel Gibson's girlfriend, now instead of that awful thing he said on the phone call all those years ago, his girlfriend is helped by a wild pack of key grips. See how things can change? Let's dive into the film itself because, okay, I don't know how you guys felt. I thought it was very brave, very brave of Mark Wahlberg to face his biggest fear becoming fat. Oh, I got to say, he goes the raging bull route at the end of this movie. That was really his.

Really? I assumed it was a fat suit. No, I thought the white clumps his ass. Yeah, it looks like a like prosthetics. I'm talking about, wait, wait, the scene where he's on the toilet, like can't take a shit like with the other says his man boobs and his just flabby prosthetic next thing he had the next thing they put padded. They always gave him fat fingers at the end.

Yeah, his face. It looks like he got stung by a bee when you when you first like, yeah, when he's when he's first walking around with the crutches. Me and Cameron were really losing our minds at just how fat they decided to make it. It was crazy. We were talking about it like it's not like, you know, if the real guy got fat or whatever, it's not like anybody would watch that movie and be like, well, he's not fat enough at the end.

This isn't really. Yeah, we were like, I disrespected him so hard, but he knew the real story and then and then secondly. Yeah, nobody gives a fuck. How bad he could it is every scene that he just gets fatter and fatter and he just follow you. The only thing you keep with you about this guy who's a real guy is yeah, he got fatter shit.

You know, but like, I look, I mean, maybe maybe to Godless, Godless pagans like you, like you're like, oh, who would know Father Stu, but like this, this is a little Easter egg for the fans out there, the father Stu heads out there. You know, like who would like, we have the Stu crew. Why are you crew now, you know, like why he's suffering from ALS? Why is he still so chiseled? You know? Well, like, I think that's perfect cheekbones.

It's unnecessary because most people who see this movie in earnest, like they are more likely to believe that Mark Wahlberg really died, this is a recording the last five years of his life. I would say this movie is a perfect example of how like the like myths of the Catholic church have just gotten so dog shit because you used to, it used to be about miracles and stuff. And then in this movie, yeah, that he's visited by Mary and Jesus and Mary's like, you can't die yet, God has a big plan for you and that guy was supposed to be Jesus.

And then the plan is, the plan is that he gets a 38 BMI and that's all he does the rest of the movie. After that point. Yeah. Yeah. He's, he's visited by like Lin Manuel Christ. Yeah. Yeah.

Who also he's like his face is funny. It's like Freddy Krueger Jesus. Yeah. Yeah. I love, I love the Christ, we're jumping ahead here, but the Christ scene is awesome because like Christ sees him drink 97 beers and is like, by the way, don't drive tonight. And it's like, oh, that has to be a force of the supernatural that has to be a manifestation of Christ.

How else would he know that he would be hit by a car tonight? We will get to Father Stu's encounter with, as you said, Cameron, Freddy Krueger Jesus. But you know, let's go to the movie, like, you know, from, from the beginning, you know, this is a tale. This is like a, you know, a guy from a hardscrabble background, you know, a former boxer who moves out to LA to become an actor and then immediately gets slotted out by Hollywood sickos. We can talk about that. But let's just start with, okay, I thought it was an interesting choice in this movie

to have the very first scene in the movie be a drunk Mel Gibson watching a boy in underwear dance, yeah, he says something about peanut butter sandwiches to him. He says he warns him he's going to get fat at the beginning, he's going to get constipated. He won't be able to shit, which also happens, peanut butter. You will get constipated like Elvis did. So you got to eat vegetables. No, it's like an opening game of vegetables. I love the lore of Father Stu.

The very first scene in the movie is, you know, Father Stu as a child dancing in his tidy whiteies to Elvis in front of his dad played by Mel Gibson, who's just like firmly planted in like a barca lounger, just like polishing off his 12th chorus light of the night, sucking back a pack of Marlboro Reds and he's just going, you ain't shit, you'll never be shit. If you don't eat vegetables, you'll never shit again, boy. And then it jumps ahead in time and then we see, you know, Father Stu as a rough unfinished young man who's trying to make a go of it as, you know, a boxer, you know, and like,

and this is the first of many, the first of many incidents of brain damage being inflicted on him before he decides to become a priest. Yeah, the very first shot we have of Wahlberg is him punching a black guy. Yeah. It's literally some montage of him beating up guys of different ethnicities, just brutally. Do you think, do you think, okay, maybe if, if, if woke PC culture didn't step in, do you think those would have all been white guys? I think that the boxing is like both the least important part of the story, but the most

important thing towards getting this movie made like, I don't think Wahlberg does this if the character doesn't have a boxing backstory. And I think like, if you made a movie where Wahlberg has to play Muhammad Ata, he would do it if you like made up a story where he was in Golden Globes. It's like, like, if he could pretend to be a boxer, he'll play any character in the world. See, you, I think boxing is very important to this movie, too, Felix, because I think like, you know, the, for the people who made Mel Gibson, his girlfriend, Mark Wahlberg,

and the Holy Spirit, the, the sort of the, the existential question or problem that this movie seeks to address, I truly believe is what does the church have to offer heterosexual men? Yeah. And, and this is sort of a fear, this is an unspoken fear in the movie. And it's why Father Stu is an inspirational story, because it's like, oh, here's a guy who's not a pussy or so deep in the closet, you know, you can find ice skates back there with them, that he can come to Christ and become a priest and do the rituals and say

the words. And it has something to offer guys who initially become Catholic because they're trying to get pussy. Yeah. Wait, say which words? Because this is a Wahlberg movie. The good, Wahlberg does overcome or Father Stu, I mean, he overcome so many gay guys who attack him emotionally in this movie, every villain in this movie is gay.

The first scene when he's going into the fucking grocery store or whatever. And he just immediately is like, like he gets checked out by a trans woman. He's like, uh, what, I got a big laugh in the theater. I was in, in New Hampshire. So, uh, so yeah, young Stu, like, you know, we see a montage of him, uh, uh, uh, legally assaulting, uh, other, other, other, other races of people in the boxing ring, but you know, uh, he beats them. He has, he has his victories against, uh, other races, but unfortunately his boxing

career is cut short because some bitch ass doctor says, if you keep doing this, it's going to kill you because he's like, you're, you're, it's like, uh, Stu, you're, you're 40 years old. Like, uh, you've got to stop taking blows to the head. I don't know. He's supposed to be like 30 in the movie. He's supposed to be 30. And like, honestly, that kind of works.

It's like, this is a 30 year old boxing is bad for you because he does not, he looks not a day over 50 in this. Yes. Stu is a 30 year old, 49 year old prospect and a 270 pound, 156 pound fighter. It's sort of a quantum problem that makes you believe in the miracles of Catholicism. So boxing career cut short, uh, his, his mom played by Jackie Weaver says, you know, hey, why don't you get a job on an oil rig and he's like, I can't do that blue color bullshit. I'm going to be moved to Hollywood and become an actor.

You know, as you do, like, you know, the only thing, the only thing that's a longer shot than becoming a, like a championship boxer past your 30s is becoming a, a working actor. But you know, Stu, he doesn't want a real job. He wants to be, you know, he wants, he wants an easy job. And I really think that like early on, like, like, like his, his desire to be an actor is very much connected to his desire to be a priest because let's be honest, he doesn't want a real job. He does not want a nine to five.

I don't want to do some blue collar shit. Yeah. This is the, this is the quest to avoid honest work, which I honestly really, really relate to. Where, where is it supposed to take place? Cause like for the first, I think it's Montana. Yeah. His decision to do like a twangy Southern accent is so baffling.

He said one word that sounded like Southern and I was like, oh, this doesn't take place in Boston. Yeah. It really, it weirded me out. I'm so used to him doing a Boston accent that I, I, I still thought it took place in Boston for the first 10 minutes or so. He's like, where the, where the fuck did you put my spittoon? His accent, he's attempting a Southern accent in Helen, Helena, Montana.

But like if evil Eric Elper put a gun to my head and played that voice for me and was like, what region is that accent from? I would say lone survivor of a car accident. Yeah. He sounds like he's undercover. He does a really bad job of this movie. Yeah. Um, another important thing about Father Stu's backstory is of course that the tragic death

of his younger brother, who he describes as going to sleep to take a nap and never waking up when he was like seven years old. So he already has a tortured relationship with faith in God, which is demonstrated by him getting drunk, visiting his brother's grave and then punching a statue of Jesus Christ in the face and, and, and, and hurting his hand very badly before being arrested for resisting arrest. This is one of many DUIs and resisting arrest charges that Father Stu has to take on his road to, you know, Golgotha.

I love when he like is visiting his brother, his dead brother's grave or whatever and they show kind of, it's like one of those things where it's kind of a flashback, but like he, the brother is like talking to him or whatever. And I think it's the only thing that the dead brother says in the movie, but he's like, you're basically better than me in every way. You're the better brother. I thought when the Jesus guy shows up at the bar, I thought that was supposed to be his brother.

I couldn't figure out what are you? You are so, what is wrong with you? It looks exactly like Jesus. I don't know. I thought it was supposed to be his brother, but I couldn't follow this fucking movie at all. Oh my God. I didn't understand a goddamn thing that was happening in this fucking movie.

This is the most straightforward, boring movie I've ever seen. Literally nothing happens. How could you be confused about what was going on? I had, I told you, I had a voodoo range. This movie is very, in the first five minutes of this movie, there are two flashbacks that like really the only reason you would need for them to be flashbacks is to like establish that Stu was once a child. It's like a hallmark of stupid filmmaking.

So yeah, Stu, you know, sort of like against his mother's wishes, who warns him about going to Hollyweird, California, because he says it's full of communist fascists and hippie communist fascists, and you know, like you won't fit in there, Stu. But you know, Stu, like, you know, like when his doctor says, like, if you take another blow to the head, you could die, he's like, fuck that shit, I'll never back down from a fight. I've been fighting my whole life, I'm gonna keep fighting, I'll die fighting. So he takes that same, that same gumption and get all out, resolve, and takes it with

him to Hollywood, California, to become a movie star. And like I said, he is immediately basically metued by a guy who wants him to like, I don't know, hold the sign on Hollywood Boulevard or something. It's an attempted metue because it's the same thing, the same Mark Wahlberg thing as he has with 9-11, where he heard the metue stories and he was like, well, if I was there, completely differently, that is exactly what it is. And it's very funny from the point of view of the metue guy who's this pencil-necked casting director or something, and he's like, well, what will you do for the part?

And he's not talking to some 19-year-old twink, like this is rough trade ass looking Mark Wahlberg. But you're really rolling the dice here, man. A guy way bigger than him. Who has like Puerto Rican guy's blood on his knuckles. I'm auditioning because I'm a violent boxer who's killed everybody I've fought. So yeah, he stands up to Hollywood sickos. So he buys his time working at the meat counter of a supermarket.

Very much I think a tribute to Mickey Rourke and the wrestler. He's packing meat for people. And that's where he gets his first sort of Saul on the road to Damascus moment. He's struck by the blinding light of a really hot Latina. And then he immediately begins to stalk her. And the way into this woman's heart, of course, like all hot Latinas is the Catholic Church. And he starts showing up at her church to like ask her on a date. And like that's his first, I mean, I interpreted this movie as like him going to like church

on Sunday to try to get a date with this woman is like the first time his character has even heard of Christianity. Yeah, he's like a pre-Christian like pagan savage. I think he was raised under Varg's religion of worshiping trees and other rings. Was it like when one of the Frankish kings was first told the story of Jesus Christ, like after he had converted, he was just like, if I had 30 of my brave Frankish warriors with me, we would have killed the entire Roman Empire. It was the RX Nephew thing.

Why did no one jump out? They could have helped him. They could have helped him in Jerusalem. And this is very much Father Stu's attitude. I mean, yeah, he's just like, you know, he goes to her because he wants a date. He wants a date. But you know, his standing up to me two sickos that does not prevent him from getting a nationally televised commercial spot, advertising some sort of mop on television.

So you know, like I said, he's got a can do attitude. And despite his obvious lack of talent and social skills, it's a lesson here. It's like when people tell you, you know, just just like for a date, for becoming a priest, for being an actor, just keep going with it. Just don't take no for an answer. And you know, like he perseveres. He perseveres in getting a date. He perseveres in getting on TV.

And eventually he will persevere and becoming a priest. Yeah. One of my favorite parts when he goes to the church for the first time is that he meets a guy named Ham. Yeah. Yeah. The first black guy he's never punched in the face and he becomes his closest confidant and closest confidant.

But then any time that he can in the movie, he brings up the fact that he's black. Yeah. Which is like, dude, it's way crazier that his name is Ham. Yeah. Yeah. There's a scene in the movie where they're playing like, oh, I don't know if I'm skipping ahead too much, but they're playing basketball and he's just like, bro, I'm out of shape and you're black.

It is while he goes, when he meets me, he goes, Ham, and he's like, Ham, and he's like, yeah, it's run the Bible. And it's like, yeah, that's like the guy who got cursed, like that's what like slave owners used to claim like, well, yeah, black people are they got the curse of Ham on them and he's like, yeah, that's ham. Yeah. I'm a ham who got cursed. Yeah.

It is. So for there's one point, the hams you couldn't curse, there's one point later in the movie to where like ham call somebody and leaves a voicemail on the on the answering machine. It's like, hey, this is ham. I like, I would save that voicemail forever, Wahlberg's black friend. These are my black friends. These are my black friends, hamburger and fries. Oh, maybe it was short for hamburger.

That makes more sense. Yeah. Hamburger Junior. Yeah. So basically, Father Stu's indoctrination into the Catholic Church is at the hands of like I said, this this this nice Mexican woman who he has fallen for. And like she's the one that's going to take him into being like a good and but but you know, she says her parents can't date anyway, you know, he says she can't date anyone who's

not baptized. So he's like, I'll do that shit right now. Drink the water, you know, he thinks he thinks he's like, I'll drink the bottle of water right now. I love drink. I love water. I love being hydrated. Give it to me.

The part where he like meets her family is so awesome, dude. It's just like just like the dad just giving him nothing, dude, but then he has that one magic line and he just makes the dad laugh and you know, he's about to eat that girl's pussy. It's so awesome. Yeah, the dad is like, you know, where I come from, people crawl on their hands and knees for miles to like, you know, kiss the feet of the statue of the Holy Virgin to Guadalupe or whatever.

And Mark Wahlberg's zinger to like, you know, just just put this nice Catholic family at ease that he's not just some ex boxer wannabe actor shithead who's trying to, you know, desecrate their daughter's purity for his own lustful ends is that he says it's a good thing my house has carpeting and then it's just like awkward silence and then the dad's like, you got me, you just aren't me completely stew. Father stew really has a way with words. He at one point I remember he says, I'm not gay and God's not a gangster and that one really stuck with me.

Stu has a stew has like the pattern and outward narration of his own life very similar to Walt Tremblay of E1. It's not all hot Mexican women and and fun on the road to becoming a Catholic because there are people who stand in your way. And I want to talk about my favorite character in this movie, the antagonist to Mark Wahlberg's hip priest, the gay priest. And like, you know, like when he when he's trying to be baptized and like join the faith and then join the priesthood, he is sort of a beset at every step by this very like kind

of persnickety, finely combed hair, if you know what I'm talking about, just sort of like kiss ass, want to be Catholic. It's a Draco Malfoy priest. He has like, he has like perfect porcelain skin, big dick sucking lips. He's a clear gay villain. And he's a nerd like he doesn't have, you know, Wahlberg, he's just going with it. He's just riding Jesus's vibe. But this guy's over there.

He's not playing basketball. He's fucking reading the goddamn books all the time. And you know, like as as Father Stu says to his antagonist, he says, like, even God doesn't like a kiss ass. And it's like, yeah, that's right. Like, who are who are God's strongest warriors? Is it the people studying the book all the time? Or is it the men who are in the world who have the blood of Puerto Ricans on their heads

and are seeking to deflower nice Mexican women? The men brave enough to fall over on every single floor and surface they possibly can brave enough to play to play pick up basketball against a black guy. That's what I am. That's exactly what Saul of Tarsus was like, though. He was constantly getting into horse crashes. He was he was pursuing a thick, you know, thick by the standards of the first century Jewish woman.

He was sort of the father Stu of his time. I think that's what they're implying here. So it's going well. It's going well for Father Stu on his road to getting in the pants of this nice Catholic girl. But, you know, like, yeah, he gives up alcohol for length. He gets baptized. He becomes a Catholic.

But his first sort of hurdle, he has to clear the first problem is when he goes to confession for the first time, he doesn't really cotton to it. He doesn't like the idea of, you know, asking for forgiveness for things he's done wrong. So he sort of rebels against it, and then after giving up booze for Lent, he immediately goes to a bar and is like, you know, is just a just downing liquor. And this is where he encounters his Jesus Christ moment, where it's like previously like every person who's talked to him at a bar, he has immediately gotten into a fist fight with.

Yeah. Yeah. He gets into it. At the beginning of the movie, he like he fights a guy for what just like a woman talked to him. I wrote this. I wrote this down. I wrote this down because like the sound mixing and the scene is unusually bad.

Like it's worse than in the rest of the movie. I couldn't understand what I was going to say. Yeah. I couldn't understand it, but I tried to write down what he says because there's a woman who's kind of implied to be like either a Virgin Mary or Mary Magdalen figure who's nice to him, but she's also implied to be a sex worker. And he says something to her that's like a million guys could play a role. But I bet you're a woman who takes a guy and makes him a dollar.

It was something that incomprehensible. I had to write it down like from memory just because it was like, what the fuck was that like the combination of the sound mixing and the accent. And then some other guy like says like, oh, I bet she could make a dollar because she's a hooker and Wahlberg beats this shit out of him and is arrested for the like 50th time in 20 minutes. Also that guy who talks to him in the bar talks shit. They like they like cloak his face in darkness like he's going to be like Iron Man at the

end of the Hulk movie. But he just he's nobody. They just don't show his face. Yeah. That's a strange choice. That honestly is what it's like. It's like they just blacked out his entire face. It was the devil.

They couldn't afford another black actor. So, yeah, so he's back in the bar again. He's fallen off the Lenten wagon, having a drink. And then like the guy sitting next to the bar, he's got he's sort of he's gone. He has long hair, a beard and, you know, has some hard miles. I've been reading over his face quite literally like his face looks like who's to know his face looks burned. Like he looks like a burn victim or something.

It's cystic acne, Jesus. Yeah. This teenage Jesus. Oh, God, I hope you're going to study your scriptures. Oh, Jesus. I don't know how they let me into the bar. Oh, God. So the burn victim Jesus is sitting next to him at the bar and then immediately begins

like sort of telling him knowing wisdom about his life, about how, you know, like the problem for tough men is that like, you know, when they're made to when they're held to account for their actions or they're made to ask for forgiveness, the first several times they encounter it, they feel rage and like that's the rage you're feeling now. But like the first time they really like led it into their heart, they feel relief. And then Walberg's like, don't talk to me, fucking kill you. And then he's just like, okay, all right, just don't drive home tonight. And he's like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

And then he's just like, yeah, what the hell was that guy drinking in the bartender's like, water brother. Yeah. I really, I needed a line there where the bartender's like, like water and then Mark Walberg's like, but it looks like wine or something like that. Yeah. Water. Oh, it was Jesus, oh, look, if he did, he probably wouldn't have gotten in that bike.

Also, when did he get a bike? I thought he had like some fucking, he got a bike after he can't get in his car got impounded. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, right. And then he gets, he gets to a fight with his dad. Oh, yeah.

I skipped over that part because he has a DUI and his license has been revoked and his car is impounded, he tries to the first time his dad Mel Gibson reenters his life is when he shows up at the job site he's working at to try to steal his pickup truck. And you know, like they have some, you know, this is not exactly a very good father and son relationship. And you know, really a lot of the emotional heft of this movie is really, it's about Mel Gibson. It's not about the real father and son here is not God and Jesus Christ.

It's Mel Gibson and Father Stu. But you know, rather than letting his son be martyred on the cross to redeem the sins of all humanity, Father Mel Gibson won't even let his son take steal his pickup truck to go to an audition. And yeah, they get into this argument in the, on the job site. And I feel like there is like a dare by the screenwriters to see like how many times they could say retard in a scene. Someone's got to do it.

Mel Gibson's character says retard quite a bit in this movie. Yeah. He's, he's, he's a, he's a surly, he's a surly old man, you know, he doesn't suffer for fools lately and you know, he, you know, he just, he, he, he, all he wants to do is just work a job and then come home every night to his trailer and get blackout drunk by himself watching like Milton Burl reruns on his shit. How does he still have like, it's supposed to take place in like 95, but he's watching like a black and white TV still, not just watching a black and white TV, TV signals

from the 1950s or still being transmitted to his trailer. His trailer's on Mars and they're just now getting those. They sold him, they sold him a special TV that only broadcasts things before Plessy versus Ferguson. They're like, oh, we, oh, you're looking for the racist TV. Okay. So it doesn't get his dad's pickup truck and his own car has been impounded out of note. It's seemingly he stole someone else's motorcycle.

He's, you know, as one does, riding a motorcycle home blinded drunk after encountering Jesus Christ in a, in a bar. And what do you think happens? Yes, that's right. A fucking hardcore, hardcore motorcycle accident. He goes over the hood of a car, rolls about 30 yards and then another car drives over him. It's so crazy.

Just rag dollars his fucking body and when that happened in the theater, I was, so I was caught so off guard and I laughed so hard that I literally involuntarily flew through my phone into the air and it like flipped through the theater. I was losing my mind. It was crazy. So he's lying on the asphalt, you know, like just fucking like half the bones in his body shattered just fucking like in a days. And who does, what does he experience?

That's right. He's the son of the holy virgin mother caressing his head and saying, don't die, father stew. There's still so much more you have left to do. There's still so many more DUIs you can get. And yeah, like this is, this is, you know, this is the real come to Jesus because, you know, up until now he had just been getting baptized to like get laid. But now, now that he's been, now that he's like, yeah, he had a serious life threatening accident.

Then he's like, ah, like, oh, the Catholic light goes off in his head. But not before he does deflower his girlfriend and desecrate her vows to the church in front of God. And, but to be fair, it was her who pushes in on him. And he feels bad afterwards. Yeah. He's got to go confess it. And that's his first true confession is like, he feels, he feels guilty for letting his

girlfriend have sex with him because, you know, he wants to marry him and confession seems more like a brag. Yeah, it's kind of like St. Augustine's Confessions. Yeah, he's like, yeah, let me tell you about the wild dope ass life I had in hippo before I found God. I was like, dude, he, you know, St. Augustine, he got so much pussy before giving it all to Augustine. St. Augustine was doing Eiffel Tower's 1900 years before they built the Eiffel Tower.

My favorite, I had to read they're going to build something to memorialize that. I like that. This isn't a side, but Augustine, you know, the closest real I figured a father's do he's there's a lot of stuff about him fucking like he fucks several married women and that he's like, and then the worst thing I saw these pairs on a tree and I just took them. Confessions is a great book. That's actually the next up for Mel Gibson, Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson's girlfriend. It's the Augustine origins.

Yeah, I mean, any way that they can do like just dirty grandpa, but make it Catholic, I think they will. So, yeah, so father's do has been, you know, humbled both physically and spiritually. And after he fucks his hot Mexican girlfriend, who this is really he's been trying to for half the movie, he feels guilt for maybe the first time in his life and he confesses his sin. And then he, and then he like, okay, I, I killed the pussy too good. I truly, I mean, okay, the movie is about father's do's, you know, his, his Christ-like

tribulations on the way to becoming a priest and all the things that he had to suffer to, you know, come to Jesus Christ. I truly think the person who suffered most in this movie is Carmen, the girlfriend character. Oh, man, she gets so bad because like, not only did she, you know, sin before God and have had sex with her boyfriend before marriage, only, you know, with, with the, you know, classic Catholic girl strategy of, you know, giving him a little taste, but just be like, you know, once you bought in, you really got to, now you got to marry me, but like, this is what you have to look forward to.

So you just, you got to, you got a little give and take here, you know. Free sample. Yeah. He takes her out to a nice lunch and he's like, this is the, this is the first place you ever told me you believed in me. And she's like, beaming. She's like, yes, this is why you brought me here. All right.

Gonna see that ring. And then he's like, I got to tell you something. I'm, I'm thinking of becoming a priest. I'm joining the priesthood. She's like, what? You motherfucker, you absolute piece of shit. You fucking, you worm your way into my fucking pants with this religious devotion. And now you're going to use that same religious devotion to just, I don't know, deflower me,

throw me in the gutter and take a fucking vow of celibacy for the rest of your life. You fucking asshole. And then he's just like, it's hot for me too. Trust me. But yeah, no, a Kermin God really just, she, she, she is the, she is the one, she is the one who most nobility suffers in this movie. True. Stu is, Stu becomes a priest to try and escape her.

That's what I say. It needs to be that because they don't, besides the accident, they don't show him having like any actual like spiritual connection or like, like kind of reason to become a priest. So he either brain damage or trying to get away from this bitch. Yeah. So hard. I think it has to be that. Cause he didn't, he didn't, he didn't, I don't think they're, I don't think that Stu knew

that that was Jesus. I think he was just thought it was an ugly guy. No. He was having a spiritual experience. And he thought, he thought Mary was like the fucking, the, the mango stand lady. Yeah. Yeah. They do make the mango, they're Mary, exactly like, like Carmen though.

I don't think. I don't, I don't, I did not notice that either, passion. Interesting. Maybe I was just tired. I'm sure it was you being tired. So obviously his near-death experience and now a newfound religious devotion. This is also, you know, an excuse for his parents to get sort of reintroduced to his life.

There's another Jackie Weaver who, you know, is, she's, she's a, she's a realist, you know, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's a woman with some hard, hard one wisdom. And she, she views religion as like, you know, you know, it's people's personal choice or whatever. But like, you know, these are fairy tales. These are fairy tales. Stu, you're an adult and, you know, like, and you really not want to get posted for the rest of your life.

Come on, man. And then I don't know, like, how does, do you remember how like how Mel Gibson reacts to his, his religious conversion and his desire to join the priesthood? They give, yeah, yeah. He's in a bunch of like Ron Swanson Reddit type speeches where he's like, oh, that's a, that's all this, that's, the religion's all bull crap, blah, blah, blah, like everything that they say, like Father Stu and his dad say to each other sounds like, it's like some like Reddit guy trying to like write dialogue.

It's good. At one point. Really good. At one point, I believe he says to Stu, he's like, like, the world is full of fruits and nuts. So like, what's one more in the mix or something like that? Yeah. He speaks in like idioms.

Like he's supposed to be like extremely, extremely wise. Yeah. He speaks like he's reading a Facebook post off his phone at the dinner table. Yeah. Oh, and then also, the film makes it very clear that Papa Stu, Mel Gibson, and his dad, Papa Stu, Mel Gibson, in addition to being a construction worker and an alcoholic and an angry driver, does carry a gun with him everywhere. And it's in the glove compartment, glove box of his pickup truck.

And then he gives the gun to Mark Wahlberg after he tells him he's going to become a priest. And he said, rather than disgrace me and your brother, why don't you do what you've always wanted to do and just kill me right now? I mean, if anything, he's acting like a Jewish mother, not an alcoholic father. He's just, just, why don't you kill me? Why don't you kill me like you killed your brother becoming a priest? What's wrong with you?

Why? Why could you be a doctor? Why could you have gone to med school? You just reminded. I forgot about the angry driver thing. There's a scene near the beginning with with Mel Gibson in the car and he like he like monologues. He like a truck driver like cuts him off or something and then he monologues through

his open car window to a kid and is like, you know, it's these damn truck drivers that are making problems for like well intentioned drivers like me clearly clear that Mel Gibson had had that happen to him in his life and told his girlfriend. We have to put that in. We just have like something like truckers. We got to talk about this. And so finally a movie taking a stand against truckers like 90s cell phone to call the number on the back of the truck to report the driver's behavior.

Yeah. That's something that absolutely Mel Gibson is done. It's so awesome, dude. What does he say to like he's reading off the he's reading off like the thing on the back and it's like, yeah, the the the the number is a jabroni, a dumbass, let's be in three. I would give I would give anything to hear the recordings of Mel Gibson's messages to the how's my driving line. Oh my God.

Oh, it's just fucking like just breathing, shrieking, screaming, racial slurs. Oh, Mel, you know, see what you want about Mel. He knows how to give movie, you know, he gives movie in this movie, you know, like he he's the angry dad. And I hope I hope we'll carry on in the extended father stew, cinematic universe, the universe. Yeah. I will say I was hoping and seeing it was Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg. I was hoping for a little bit more like late career Clint Eastwood, like crazy shit.

But the movie is just so boring. Yeah, I was hoping for a gunfighting. After the after the car crash and the Jesus thing, I assumed it was going to become one of those movies where he like becomes friends with Jesus and like keeps seeing Jesus and like talking to him all the time. And I was like, oh, this is going to be sick. Then he just got fat and died. If he kept seeing Jesus and hanging out with him, that would have been a Protestant movie.

Yeah. And Cadillac, I mean, you only get the rare opportunity to see Jesus or his mom after a fucking van has driven over you or you're about to be hit by a car. Yeah, you can't go to David Buster's with Jesus. So after father stew breaks his nice girlfriend's heart, breaks his mother and father's heart, you know, he rejects, you know, like I said, you know, like as Jesus Christ commanded you, you know, you have to reject your family to be one of my disciples. And he certainly does that and his nice girlfriend.

And he applies to the seminary for which he is coming a Scientologist to cut out all the negative people in your life that are telling you this is a bad idea. Yeah, he applies to the seminary and is, of course, immediately rejected. But do you think that lets does that stop him? No, he storms right into the seminary is a seminary admissions office. And confronts the head of the diocese played by senior Malcolm McDowell. It's so sick. The roles Malcolm McDowell has picked after like, it's crazy after Clockwork Orange in

1972. Yeah, he's just kind of coasted on that. Like, it's like, yeah, he's a good actor and everything. But then like everything he's in is just like some sci fi movie where he is the highest paid actor. And then like shit like this. And your other high point is Rob Zombie's Halloween remake. That's yes, it's rough.

So the months in your play by Malcolm McDowell, like, you know, Steve storms into the office and he's just like, he's like, I see what's going on right here. God has tested me. You're testing me trying to see my resolve. He's like, I'm again, talking about like, I know, I never back down from fighting a black guy, a Puerto Rican guy, a Chinese guy who want me to do anything for God. And then like, you know, Malcolm McDowell is like, it says here, you're a multiple felon. This is the best advertisement for the Catholic Church.

And then what does Steve say, I totally right. He's like, maybe this is the best advertisement for the Catholic Church, because, you know, what you're putting out there right now, it's like the gay priest, there's a bunch of ass kissing fucking fairies who are, you know, that they're not bringing in the common man to the church anymore. And then they're like, and then he's like, look, if you really, you know, you know, if you're so convinced I'm going to wash out, then what, what harm is there in letting me have a try at it?

And then he's like, you know what, let's, let's see what happens here. You know? And then, and then I like that, like the sort of college scenes of the movie is sort of like revenge of the nerd. It's like sort of like a slobs versus snobs things. Oh, wait. You're my roommate. I'm my roommate, a gay guy, ah.

Because he's up at like 2am ringing bells or some shit. Yeah. He's practicing his bell ringing. That's his homework. His homework. His homework. His homework. He's figuring out how to, how to move a bell's back and forth, and he's keeping the gay

guy up all night with it. Look, I'm going to ring these fucking bells all night until I fucking get it. All right. You're not going to make me stop fucking ringing these bells. Yeah, it's the scene, it's the fucking, the catch-22 scene from Boogie Nights where he's just like starting, he's like, look, I got to ring these fucking bells, okay? So, you know, everyone, you know, everyone thinks he's going to fail. Everyone thinks he's going to wash out of seminary school, even though basically they

become a priest. Yeah. Like what is it? Like you have to get really good at knowing how to ring a bell and then like wearing a fucking costume and handing out crackers to people. I mean, I suppose there's some reading too, you know, because he gets more, he gets more adept at, you know, quoting scripture to definitely disdissarm the concerns of everyone who's like, you know, why is this brain damage felon trying to become a priest?

I don't know. Does he ever actually quote scripture? It seems like he just sort of riffs. He's not ready to buy it. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I think he's not quoting scripture, but he's just doing like little improv riffs about how cool Jesus is. Now he's one line.

He'll read one line and then just be like, yeah, you know, everyone thought Jesus sucked at first, but he was actually awesome. He's actually fucking cool. Yeah, maybe he's not quoting scripture, but he's referencing it. He's pulling some deep cuts out to like, you know, sort of, yeah, like I said, sort of definitely sort of brush aside the concerns of everyone who's like, yeah. He's like, look at the kiss 20s. He does the thing where he's like, he walks out in front of all the people and he's like,

yeah, Jesus is bad and everyone's like, what? And he's like, badly needed. Yeah, yeah. His debut in front of in front of the parish and I got to go. I have to return again to the suffering of Carmen, the former girlfriend. Did you imagine fucking giving up your virtue to some shithead brain damaged Xbox or wannabe actor who then dumps you and then on Sunday, you have to see his ass give like a fucking sermon in front of you about about the about the importance of forgiving others.

And not just that. Oh my God. Yeah. Rushes. Oh, he's like full Bernie Mac so fucking good. He's grabbing his nuts. He's like, have you ever noticed when black guys get hit in the head, they do this? Yeah.

When they go to when they go to the when they go to like do Catholic church in prison, they do. Yeah, they do the classic thing where it's like, oh, the virginal priest is not going to get through to these hard convicts. But when Wahlberg gets up there and he's like, have you ever let me get down to your guys' level? Have you ever heard the word of God from a guy who's been hit by 50 cars? And there is one motherfucker I'm scared of.

It's God. Yeah. But you know, like what when he gets up in front of the people, whether you know, he's the king, the king of homilies and when he's in front of the people, you know, he connects with them. Like, you know, there's the crotchety old guy who's like, amen. You know, when he's like, he's like, no matter, no matter how bad you've done in your life, you know, God is there to forgive your sins.

And but you know, if you don't forgive others, he's not gonna forgive you. That's the deal. And then like the people connect with it. The Martin McDowell's, his gamble paid off. He's got a man of the people who's willing to speak to the people about the message of the Gospels. And it's working. It's working great.

He's like, he's on the road to becoming like possibly the coolest priest of all time until God gives him yet another and his biggest challenge yet. All playing pick up basketball against a black guy and and and beating him, by the way. The last miracle. What's happening? Like he falls down and then they're like, okay, like, you know, like, hey, we'll just get back up. No, he falls down again and again.

His legs don't work anymore. Time to go back to the hospital. But this time it's not simply a matter of being having a car run over you. You know, this time there are certain things that even doctors can't heal. This being an incurable ALS-like disease of which it's like, you know, has basically never existed in someone under the age of 70. And they're like, yeah, you have about three months before you can't shit or eat food. And he's like, he's not trying to hear that, you know.

Something that anybody without like motorcycle induced brain damage would take as a curse from the devil. He takes it as like a true sign from God. Yeah. What I thought about this is that this is like, you know, here this is a a young innocent 40 year old man who's been who's been creeped on by a pervert Hollywood sicko and he tries to become a Catholic priest and God rightfully strikes him down before he can continue the cycle of abuse.

Saving his children. I mean, okay, like one of the first things the doctor tells him is that he can't swallow. Yeah. And he can't or it doesn't affect be getting erect though. It's the only. Oh, yeah. Well, he can top a Hollywood sicko and that's fine. But it's just like, oh, the muscles you need to put on a made outfit.

Well, you'll never be able to use them again. So I mean, but is he going to let is he going to let this diagnosis stop him? No, he didn't let brain damage stop him. He didn't let a car accident stop him. He didn't let the flowering his girlfriend and then ditching her to become a priest stop him. He's not going to let this stop him. So you know, right before his motor functions really start to go and he gets fat as hell,

he you know, he goes to his dad's trailer and you know, like he has another sort of father and son moment of just sort of of reaching out because he's like he's he's trying to help his dad because he can see that his dad is an angry guy who's had a hard life and has been fighting throughout all of it that he needs the love of Jesus Christ to even though that he feels so far away from God's love in his absolutely squalid depression hole that he lives in. And then from there, the gun in his hand to like the first shot of Mel Gibson in that is like him on the floor with a gun and a beer in his hand.

Yeah, just liquor bottles everywhere, gun in hand, looking at a photo of his dead kid and then soon to be dead kid and just thinking, where did it all go wrong? How could God do this to me? So yeah, I think from there, it's like in one scene, like I don't even know how much time elapses, but it like it goes to Mark Wahlberg like still standing and talking to his dad on the trailer. And then the next scene, he's like fat as hell. Yeah.

He's fat as hell walking with crutches. And that's when he goes to the prison and spits truth to like these hardened rapists and killers who, you know, he connected as Felix, he said he connects to them on their level because he's like, you know, do you think God cares if you're a piece of shit? We're all pieces of shit. He's like, if you pick up the phone to talk to your wife, she's probably banging some other guy. Your kids, they probably wish you were dead, but God, you can call him anytime and these

guys like, wow, damn, he's talking to them like, like Larry Miller's hostage negotiator character from Best in Show where it's like, it's like, I will fucking gouge your eye out with this thumb. I shit you not. Yeah. He's like, shit, if my legs worked, I'd probably be in the bloods and the crypts as well. Yeah. Well, this is after like, he goes there with his roommate, the gay priest, and like the

gay priest is like, he walks through those doors and he's, he shook his hell. And then he gets up there and he's like, God commands us to shine light into the darkest places and then like, immediately like dark, what you mean, because we're black or because it's scary or whatever, he's like out of place, racial, a little bit of both, a little bit of column A, a little bit of column B. And then, you know, that's where his father, Sue takes over and like, you know, he wraps with these hardened felons. Yeah, the gay priest doesn't misstep by using the word dark or black or whatever.

And father, she's like, no, I know how to handle black people. I beat one in basketball. I can do this. And yeah, from there, it's just, like you said, the last quarter or so of this movie is, oh, it's quite a slog, but it's basically his disease progresses and, you know, ravages his body and then, worst of all, Malcolm McDowell says, you can't be a priest. Like the diocese is worried that you're going to like drool on the communion wafers and fall down and you're just, you know, you're not, you're not, you're not projecting strength

here, you know, like people, they want to come to church, they want to feel, they want to feel like exalted, they want to, they want to forget their humdrum existence and they're not going to do that if there are some priests in a wheelchair who can't like, you know, wipe his own ass up there talking to them. And he's like, you know, he's like, he could not be, could not be any lower, you know, and he's like, he's on his knees in the church and he's like, why, why God? And then Mel Gibson, you know, after Ham calls Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson comes to the church and like, you know, picks him up off the floor, which he's been like, you know, prostrated

himself out for days or whatever, scoops him up and takes him back home to Boston, Massachusetts, I'm sorry, Helena Montana, Boston, Montana, he takes him home to Boston, Montana, so, you know, to be with family in the, you know, waning, waning years of his life. And you know, they're, they're, they're in big sky country and, you know, he thinks like, damn, I guess I'm never going to be a priest. And then his dad puts on a tie and he's like, son, I'm taking you to church, I'm going to get you to church on time, the car breaks down, there's no phone number for him to call and leave a ex-multiple-filled tirade.

So he breaks out the wheelchair and he pushes him to the, the one Catholic church in the entire state of Montana, I would imagine. And then he's like, he's like, and then who's at the church? Carmen. Carmen is there dressed in all white and he's like, he's like, oh, what, do I get to marry her now? And they're like, no, you're marrying the church, you wheel him in there and Malcolm McDowell is there and he's like, I talked to the diocese, they've agreed to ordain

you as a priest. And it's like- It just won't let you anywhere near the communion wave. So this is the real, this is the real emotional, you know, climax and catharsis of the movie. And then, you know, like he's in the, he's in the vestments of the priest, he's been ordained and now he can finally take confession. And who does he take confession from? The gay priest.

The gay priest confesses the sin, not of being gay, but of never really wanting to be a priest in the first place and feeling envy, feeling the sin of envy because he looked at, you know, he looked at Father Stu, who had every reason to stop being a priest and really no reason to be a priest in the first place, but it never let him stop, he never let that stop him from becoming ordained and becoming a man of God. And then of course, Mark Wahlberg, he gives him like a necklace of Joseph. Oh, the same one he got before he goes into surgery. Yeah.

He gives him a necklace devoted to Joseph, not the stepdad, the dad who stepped up and he said, imagine, imagine how Joseph must have felt being the second most important dad ever, you know, and never get any credit for it. So pray on Joseph while you continue to, I don't know, not want to be a priest and struggle with your own sexual identity. That's an awful scene because it was real, I could feel that every like man in the audience turned to their girlfriends like, he's going to say he's gay now. It's such a, like it's, it's a, they teed it up perfectly and they just, yeah.

I feel like that was something where they put, they had to ADR out the, the gay confession at the last second. I was on a missionary trip to Germany and I got into Burghine. I was so attracted to you, Fathers Stu, I couldn't help myself. That's why I was trying to tear you down, stopping a priest so I could marry you. A continuation of Mark Wahlberg's like, like super straight, awesome Catholic guy fantasy where he's like, yeah, even gay guys think I'm hot, but he just says nothing, dude. The last hack of this movie is really like, they're really struggling for something because

they, in real life, the real Fathers Stu, he was, he, he, he died like one second after the movie. Yeah. Like almost immediately. I heard that the original, the original confession scene was that the, the gay priest confesses to being gay and then, and then boiling hot oil starts filling the confession like a sauterey. They say we got him and then Fathers Stu hits him.

The Fathers Stu was not sick at all. Yeah. He was just in operation. I was never even a boxer. I was always a priest. I've always been the greatest actor of all time. And then I guess the little code that's in the movie is Mel Gibson in AA. You know, after, after a life of being angry at God and not believing in him, he's finally

admitted that he needs help and, you know, he's, his son wants him to get baptized. And like the last scene you see is Mel taking the first step on the road to recovery and he's got the rosary in his hand, you know, and like through, through, through the help of Jesus, he's going to, he's going to stop drinking. So, yeah. And then, then, then we see the real Fathers Stu and the credit sequence, you know. I'm going to tell you, he got his, yeah, his ass is dead. Yeah.

I mean, he, he really needed to live like 15 more years for this movie. To be, to have an ending, but he did, he was, he was a priest. He was ordained and then he was an active priest for like a year and a half. And then he got too good at being on the floor and they had to move him to a permanent, a permanent floor in Montana and he was on the floor until he died. Yeah. Oh, fuck. I just remembered there's like a, there's a Billy Madison Sunday school scene in this.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that. He talks to kids about porn. Yeah. He talks to kids about porn and sex. And then it's implied that he's been going to Sunday school, like next to children. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. They're like nine years old and he's learning, he's learning about, about Lent with them. Yeah. And teaching them about Pornos because like one of the kids, he's like, he's like, I'm going to give up alcohol for Lent. And then the kids like, you should give up something that you really like. Like my dad gave up Pornos and then he's like, Oh, like your, your mom should give up sex and see how your dad, and then, and then Carmen's like, no, no, no, next lesson, everybody open

their Bibles. And yeah. No, you're right. It was a great Billy Madison scene where he's, he's learning about God with a seven year old. If, if, if giving up peeing your pants for Lent is cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. So, uh, uh, that's father's too. I mean, did I forget any scenes in the movie or any other moments that stood out to you guys? But honestly, I can't remember that terrible movie needed more, needed more fast and furious car crashes needed more charlin Nash Jesus needed just more, more stuff going on across the board. Boring as fuck.

The old one of the old guy who sat nearest in the theater when we saw it fell asleep like three minutes in and was asleep the whole time except for one point where he raised his hands in the air like which at the time I thought he was praising the Lord, but now I realizing he was waking up from a nap like a cat and he was stretching his arms all the way up. Oh, he caught the Holy Ghost. What are you talking about? No, he, he, he like, he was sleeping during the diagnosis scene was like, Oh, wait, did

that happen to me? Like move my arms. Uh, yeah, just, just an excruciating excruciating movie, uh, as we said at the beginning, Catholic filmmaking is about a billion times more pretentious than the Protestant variety. I, um, I don't think a Catholic can ever make assassins 32 AD, but, um, I'm, I'm glad to be done with it. Um, I do have, I have some nonfather stew related business, but it's still a call from the Lord similar to what stew faced, uh, Mary Newman, Illinois ins may know her of Illinois

is third district is in trouble, uh, she voted against the iron dome and they started an ethics investigation over on her over some bullshit. I won't try to summarize it after summarizing father stew. That's just too much information for everyone to take in, but she needs donations. She needs help. She is one of the few like good, uh, congressional reps and Illinois always needs more of them. So please help out Mary Newman. If you are so inclined,

uh, Felix, send me the donation link and I will put in the show description. Absolutely. All right. Well, uh, gang, that, that does it for another, another trip to the movies, another trip to church, the church of cinema. And you know, like, uh, this isn't, this is another wonderful entry into the film canon, the chopper film canon. It's father stew.

Everybody. Um, oh, and then pot about list, you boys are about to go in the road for you guys to attend. Yeah. Yeah. You guys are going on. Yeah. You can get what you make us feel like assholes for plugging our tour now.
