What Makes a Film “Morally Offensive”? Two ex-Catholics ask this question every other week as they tackle the list of films “Condemned” or considered “Morally Offensive” by the Catholic Legion of Decency (RIP) and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

I really just want a film where Dracula takes out not sees.

We're reading Fr. Amorth books on Exorcism for our The Popes Exorcist episode, and it's a wild ride. This guy believed some wild stuff.

Sometimes I feel like we do this in hopes our Archbishop will have to waste the time doing paperwork to actually excommunicate our goofy asses. New merch this week.

Might be my #1? It's pretty tight and a great satire. Felt like an instant classic the first time I saw it.

"King David was a flawed, imperfect man, but chosen by God"

Okay, maybe it's time we just accept that a man who was king, during a BRUTAL time in human history, who castrated 200 men, to buy a king's daughter from him, was a psychopath who also should not have run a country. #fucktrump

I'm legitimately curious how the new movie will affect this. Nebraska is his ultimate masterwork and the most timeless of his albums imo.

Has Sabrina Carpenter seen Spinal Tap or is it all a coincidence?

Honestly, if you watch Decline of Western Civilization, she never really hid it. People seemed to have just overlooked it.

You can't stream Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox story anywhere right now, even as a rental and people dare make fun of how much physical media I own.

My peers: Uploads photos with four children in matching outfits at the oldest's graduation.

Me: Dancing around my living room holding two small dogs and singing Kyle Gordon's "Suck the Dick, Drink the Piss"

I hate that song (I graduated around the time it dropped) but Dookie blew my mind when it came out.

Most people I've dated: Whose your celebrity crush/pass?

Me: Do they have to be alive?

There is a dolly zoom in Freddy Got Fingered that might be the most wasteful, unmotivated use of a dolly zoom in the history of cinema.

Noice! Yeah my wife and I rewatch several of his films frequently. Still trying to sell her on the nastier Sirk that is Fassbinder.

Great picks so far. Bitter Tears of Petra Van Kant is fantastic. Merchant of Four Seasons is good. Martha is highly underrated and VERY Douglas Sirk if you like that vibe. In a Year with 13 Moons is a deep cut that has aged really well.

Have you seen World on a Wire? It's an outlier in his filmography but it's an early adaptation of Simulacrum 3, which would inspire The Matrix and The 13th floor.

It's this one. True story: I was working for a client editing dentist conference footage and George Hardy walked into the frame of the footage and I screamed in my cubicle.
