Bad Faith Media

Ryan has gone too far this time.

Remember that minisode we did where Carman beat the crap out of the devil? Or that other minisode we did where Carman beat the crap out of the devil? Well buckle in, because Carman is back! This week, we're watching something that can loosely be called a movie starring a man who can loosely be called an actor. Carman plays a Chicago cop in his very own film based on his very own album, sort of. Da...

It's time to get out your party plate and head over to Jonny D's house, because this episode is guaranteed to knock you on your butt! This is how teenagers talk, right? To properly celebrate 4/20, the group decides to watch the infamous weed episode of 7th Heaven, a sitcom from the 90s about a Christian family with no communication or problem-solving skills. Dan, Ryan, and Alexa learn not only tha...

Remember those great Hanna Barbera cartoons? Scooby Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Jonny Quest? Well, what if the same studio decided to create a zany and only slightly traumatic cartoon series about two child archaeologists ("and their nomad friend, Moki") getting magically whisked away into Bible stories and immediately forced into slave labor? The end result would be The Greatest Adventure: S...

Audacity is the timeless story of a man struggling with a heavy burden that nobody understands, something that is part of his identity that he is scared to share because he is afraid of being rejected, if not hated. That's right, he's struggling with a deep, internal desire to tell gay people that they're sinners. He doesn't want them to see him as someone who thinks they're going to hell, even th...

This week we watched a Christian comedy film, and when you have four comedians at the helm that means you're gonna get a TON of comedy-writing analysis. Dan, Ryan, and Alexa are joined by returning guest Rose Vineshank, and together they try to figure out why this movie, written and directed by David A R White (of God's Not Dead fame) came SO close to being a good movie, but ultimately fell short....

In the beginning, God created bigfoot. And God saw that the bigfoot costume was very cheap, and he immediately regretted his decision. That's right folks, it's a Christian bigfoot movie. Ol' Sasquatch is up to no good, and it's up to former police chief Harrison and mayor Christie to stop him and save the children. Don't worry, they'll take lots of breaks from looking for the kids to develop a rom...

Things on the podcast have finally reached a breaking point. Dan and Ryan now find themselves trapped in a room together, forced to hash out their differences. If they don't, they'll starve to death, and somehow it's all because of Jesus. This week, we're discussing our first Christian horror film, The Reconciler, which wants very badly to be like Saw, but without the violence, the stakes, the ten...

Kerbango! It's time to jump out of our skullbones and dive into the craphole that is Battlefield Earth, a movie based on a book written by the founder of Scientology himself, L. Ron Hubbard. Featuring chaotic performances by John Travolta and Forrest Whitaker, along with some not-so-subtle messaging about psychiatrists, this film has it all. Dan and Ryan are joined by noted man-animal Tom Myers, a...

The thrilling conclusion to our two-part episode on Mr. God Goes to Washington. YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

It's time to watch Mr. God Goes to Washington! This masterful [citation needed] sequel to God's Not Dead brings us a courtroom drama about religious freedom... or maybe it's about history? Or maybe it's about freedom of speech? Or maybe it's about bringing in a bunch of Christian apologists to demonstrate that history proves the truth of Christianity. Sabrina the Teenaged Witch is accused of break...

As seasoned scholars of TV's greatest show, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction, it only seemed right for Dan and Ryan to reunite with Andie Basto to discuss another Jonathan Frakes venture. This time Frakes is our guide into the world of biblical archaeology, in an old Christian video resource called Time Travel Through the Bible. True to form, Frakes takes every opportunity to crack jokes, wear costu...

In which Ryan continues to share the story of Harry Potter's indoctrination.

It's almost Valentine's Day, which means it's time to descend into the horrible demonic realm of Christian romance stories. This particular story comes from the mind responsible for Hearts Are Trump (see episode 19), which means this is going to be an especially despicable story. Writer/director Donald James Parker has a bunch of teenagers articulate his own weird talking points, including his vie...

We finally made it to the sixth and (so far) final Left Behind movie. It's the sort-of-sequel to the 2014 Left Behind reboot with Nicolas Cage, except this time Nicolas Cage is played by Kevin Sorbo who also steps in as director. That's right, this is a Kevin Sorbo joint, which means that the Left Behind story now has things to say about covid, fake news, and something about how all lives matter a...

What if you combined a successful Christian book series about the rapture with the 1980 comedy classic Airplane ? The answer, it seems, is the 2014 Left Behind reboot starring Nicolas Cage. It abandons most of the original story and replaces it with a suspense film about landing an airplane in a world with no Christians, which turns out to be a nearly impossible task. There's also a charming B plo...

It's time to plug your flash drive into your smart phone and watch yet another Left Behind movie. This one is a spinoff film, focusing on a bunch of teenagers who really need to find their dad, Eric Harlow. It's a film that dares to ask: What if little kids could be left behind? Prepare to be challenged to think outside of the box (the one that Eric Harlow is currently trapped in). Ryan and Dan tr...

In which Dan gets taken in by the weirdest scam in the world.

This ain't your grandma's Left Behind! In this film we follow the hilarious misadventures of Miller and Fitz. One is leading a military resistance against the Antichrist, the other is the President of the United States who has Wolverine's healing abilities, plus a few other cool skills as well. Meanwhile, Christians are being targeted with biological warfare. That's right, there's a pandemic sweep...

When the Tribulation Force shows up, you know things are about to get dicey. I'm talking word documents being saved onto disks, cookies being smeared on faces, and two old men with deadly heartburn. That's right, we're talking about the smash hit [citation needed] sequel to Left Behind. Kirk Cameron returns to lead a ragtag band of rebels willing to fight against the most powerful villain on the p...

In which the Brawny guy exposes the folly of socialism and Richard Dawkins.

Remember the Growing Pains episode where Mike Seaver meets the Antichrist? That's right folks, it's a new year and the boys are starting off strong by dedicating a whole month to the Left Behind movies. This is the first of SIX films (God help us) based on the best-selling Christian novels from the 90s written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins. In this first movie, Jesus steals all the children of t...

In which Dan and Ryan get left behind.

On this podcast, there's only one man who can save Christmas, and his name is Ernest P. Worrell. But sadly this is not an Ernest podcast, so Ryan and Dan have to spend an hour trapped in a car with Kirk Cameron while he tells them about the real meaning of Christmas. And what is that meaning? Nutcrackers are Roman soldiers, Christmas trees are crosses, and Santa Claus is a vigilante who beats up C...

What do Jesus, Vincent Price, and a xenophobic gnome named Bjorn all have in common? Honestly, that should be the least of your concerns. It's time to watch an old Christian cartoon that teaches us about how God created evil trolls. Why did he make the trolls evil? We don't know, but it's okay because God loves them, and he will accept them as long as they stop being so trollish. Dan and Ryan are...
