That smug smile Cinema Snob gives after every one of his "I can only imagine" puns is what makes this review for me
I just sent a message to my friend saying "I'm imagining" and immediately started grinning because I remembered Snob's "running joke" in this review!
Marvel: Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover in history.
Kevin: Hold my non-alcoholic Christian beverage......
D.J. Guthrie That would be Christian hot cocoa.
D.J. Guthrie eh some one call
Or, "root" beer!
The “Christian band or a Christian in a band” line was CLASSIC
Also.. no comment about a 5’9 250 lb guy playing wide receiver? Lol
I don’t know enough about football to be able to even think about making that joke. Lol.
@@saygoodnightkevin heres what i dont get about this movie and passion of christ or any other religious movie. if its not being disrespectful to god or just for profit then they shouldnt make money off the movie. hollywood has enough money to do charity movies. there is no good reason anyone should be profiting off of god. this is something that many humans should come together and make as a charity. no one should be profiting in the name of god.
"You got to be a stupid person to dedicate an entire channel to making fun of movies that are only known by the audience who liked them."
Kevin got roasted so hard that he is now in the Burn Center fighting for his life.
and Cinema Snob is now regularly attending Hypocrites Anonymous
no.kevin did a great job educate people what good movies should be.
There is a market for haters too, live to hate such movies.
@@djvoldemort1Of course he is, he founded the thing.
Kevin and the Cinema Snob: the collaboration we never knew we wanted.
"Cinema Sins/Christian Cinema/Cinema Snob"... the Kevin McCreary saga
Haha. I only work with people with Cinema or Cow in their name.
Blimey Cow strike out cinema sins and you have a perfectly good duology
HEY THERE!!! :D
Quick, someone become the Cinema Cow!
Blimey Cow you'd probably like Skillet then. Whispers in the dark
The difference in video quality only makes this funnier
JLongbone hahah and the other channel is bigger😂
It's symbolic, either of Cinema Snob's relative indifference to the movie, or of Cinema Snob not caring about video quality
How did you even get to this comment section girl?
really enjoyed the review! laughed quite a few times xD
It's so weird to see the Cinema Snob being so positive! Lol
You two really should work together more. You guys have good chemistry!
Screw Avengers: Infinity War, this is the most ambitious crossover of the year.
June The Fox true
I am incredibly amused by the dynamic in this review where it's the SNOB of all people who's the more optimistic one. As a fan of both you and the Snob, I actually hope you guys do another crossover on either your channel or his (Though yours is more likely).
Dude, the juxtaposition with CinemaSnob was actually brilliant! This was an amazing collab!
EmethMatthew I completely agree! That juxtaposition makes me want more collars with this channel!
A collab between two of my favorite RUclipsrs.. is this a dream?
I could only imagine that the Snob and Kevin would do a crossover
Their on our insides roaring like lions.
Congratulations buddy! I've been watching your channel since the beginning I'm so glad that you got to collaborate with THE Cinema Snob!
This is set in 1985, but at 10:24 the record store guy hands Bart a cassette of U2's "The Joshua Tree," which wasn't released until 1987. Insert CinemaSins counter sound effect.
Best crossover.
The crossover event we've all been waiting for!
“He’s blowing leaves”
*cinema snob snickers*
“Hey! This is a family show.”
You have no idea how badly I’ve been wanting this crossover!
Funny enough, it feels like this crossover took a “Captain America, Civil War” style twist, where the sides we expected them to take (Kevin for and Snob against,) were reversed (Kevin against and snob for)
The best thing is that the conservative and liberal bubbles are interacting with each other
There was a weird interaction between the Christian and secular tropes in this review. The secular reviewer was like "Uh, so what?" And the Christian reviewer was like, "Are you kidding? This is trope #937-dash-B!"
Was definitely not expecting Cinema Snob of all people to be the less cynical of the two.
I think the constant problem with Christian movies is offering easy answers: that somehow it's easy to forgive an abusive parent by just having faith in God and you'll get a shiny lump of success thrown in there, too. Meanwhile the rest of us over here in the real world are scoffing. I guess for me personally it annoys me because it's an echo of the Protestant work ethic: if you're poor, it's because you're bad and lack faith, and if you were properly faithful God would solve all of your problems. Systematic poverty, racism, misogyny, a capitalist economy that tilts towards oligarchy; none of that is the problem: it's you. Change yourself and your whole world will change is a nice lie, but a lie nonetheless.
Please note I'm only talking about the movie, not the real guy's life.
Amen. That's also the real reason why so many people walk away from the church. They get reeled in by false promises and then when Christian life doesn't work like a Sherwood Pictures movie, they blame God. God never promised us worldly success or riches; He promised to meet our needs. It's the false prosperity gospel that has infiltrated the church and turned the Christian life into "the American Dream".
As a Protestant, I agree 100%. These types of movies-and some sects out of the lot-really seem to be so obsessed with arguing that God is the ABSOLUTE answer and that one does not simply take matters into their own hands (i.e., divorce, counseling, maybe going for welfare, standing up for the rights they deserve, etc.). Life doesn't run on prayer alone and, to an extent, it's a way of the Divine nudging people into understanding the self. Instead, these distortions of reality advocate settling for the worst-such as spousal abuse, child abuse, substance abuse, etc.-and closing one's eyes to the obvious greater problems and potential solutions in the hopes of keeping up the aforementioned "American Dream."
Which? What I'm saying is that taking action rather than just staying complacent is often the more useful move. An abusive spouse isn't just going to change magically because the wife locked herself up in a closet and just prayed it all away. That takes counseling, behavioral changes, and maybe even separation if the case is bad enough. An abusive father isn't going to suddenly be a good one just because of prayer alone. That too requires distance and perhaps therapy (because often scars follow and people who never are held accountable often repeat unhealthy behavior). It's not that God or faith couldn't help in any way, it's just that films of this nature avoid the real world implications and matters associated (which is problematic for people who need help and aren't so lucky).
Yes. 100% agree. This comment is pretty much my whole problem with christian movies, especially considering the demographic it's aimed at.
You're right; none of that IS the problem.
Great review!
Hamfisted, emotional schmultz is by no means exclusive to Christian film, but I think there's an added layer of melodramatic, self-aggrandizement that makes most of the genre so grating.
Most of these types of movies put a heavier emphasis on God helping people find external validation with the "secular" world - a rewards-based, managerial God - than a God who provides peace in the storm but doesn't guarantee you'll arrive at a resort destination.
It feels ego driven because these narratives cling to an outcome rather than faith as its own reward. That: king Arthur God is waiting for our submittance so that he can dispense gifts to his loyal subjects... which (whether consciously intended or not) comes across as self-important; a kind of faux-humbleness that feels compelled to shoehorn the outside world into it's narrow conceptual lane.
I AM SO USED TO GIVING NOW I GET TO RECIEVE. I've been wanting this forever.
Aphra Behn that’s what she said!
Why is this not a Donkey Ollie Crossover
Jokes aside I've been waiting for this since GND3. Also, you should've asked Brad if he uses silky soap
The exchange between Kevin and Snob on why Snob is an atheist was so funny.
This is the cross-over I didn't even know that I wanted. Very well done, gentlemen.
I can't believe that it took me until the actual first notes were played in this review to realize I actually know this song. I'd hear it every day before school while waiting in my Mom's car.
Great review, Kevin. I just found you're channel, but you're awesome.
“The Christian music industry exists because people are willing to settle for second best!”
S I C K B U R N N N
Nah there's really good and really crappy music in every genre of music.
@C.W., the funny thing is, there's *plenty* of good Christian music out. People just choose to overlook the good. Also, Kevin saying the Christian music industry only exists because people are willing to settle for 2nd best, is a huge overstatement, considering how there are a lot of Christians in the music industry that create their music out of pure passion and love for God. Shekinah Glory is an excellent example of this
came for cinema snob, stayed for Kevin 👍
i love wen junhui that’s what she said
Say snob night, Kevin
I've watched this review like 10 times. Lol. Great chemistry between you two
B I G COLLAB. I hope Kevin gains a lot of subscribers through this!
_Seth Rogan playing the piano_
True.
“-being an a-hole.”
The Snob is making Kevin... EDGIER!!
The moment when Cinema Snob tells Kevin to get his head out of the gutter is absolute GOLD
This is the best review yet!!
Who coulda thought Kevin would have been the more negative one.
WHAT I'D WANT TO SEE
Nostalgia Critic VS Nostalgia Christian
“Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover ever.”
Me: (points to this video)
I've been wanting to see this crossover since the Old-Fashioned and Let There Be Light reviews.
Now I want to see Cinema Snob do a crossover with Diva from Musical Hell, and do it in September when he does Musical March in September
Jezzikah287 YES! A crossover with Diva would be hysterical... Though now I actually really want to see Kevin do one with her as well. Sunday School Musical, perhaps?
I feel like Christian movies are actually slowly improving. Maybe in another decade we might get a resurgence in the genre and then an oscar winning pop culture phenomenon...
I love that passage in the bible that says you must praise christian films regardless of their artistic merit or your faith is a lie.
AlwaysLookCool 729 Maybe we just want better movies... is that wrong to want? I'm a Christian and I hate Christian movies because they suck. They're deeply contrived, emotionally manipulative cash grabs that sucker tons of Christians into paying to see them, and it makes me sad/mad. It's not "cool" to bash Christian movies. It's a call to make better Christian films.
I think the genre will eventually reach its market cap, in that they're always going to have limited appeal outside of religious audiences, but the best of the genre is slowly improving. (and the lesser quality films of the genre seems to be taking a corresponding commercial hit as better options become available)
I think the genre will pretty much continue in the market niche its always had, but the overall quality of the offerings will be better.
Sriracha Joy! We need more prince of Egypt's.
I don't. I feel like the older Christian films I've seen were the better ones. Not that I would call them GOOD, but they at least seemed legitimately hopeful, earnest, and trying to be thoughtful. Like student films trying their best. The newer ones have better production value, yeah, but they use that production value to come across like a used-car salesman, slick and manipulative, along with bitterness and cynicism and sometimes just flat-out dishonesty.
Best Christain/Atheist crossover in the world!
Are you kidding me? This crossover is rocking my world rn
"Mo-o-ontage, mo-o-ontage, of the jeep running, sad strings" is gold.
Dreams do come true on RUclips
I love the shots you take at yourself without becoming self deprecating, but by pointing out a flaw about yourself and laughing about it. It's hard to explain, but I love your style.
I loved the review and I have no doubt that the Cinema Snob collab will give your subscriptions a much-deserved boost. I mean, I can only imagine that it will. Huh? Huh?
Sigh.
19:05 considering how strained their relationship was at that point and judging by what the movie makes out his father would have possibly given him shit for it, are you really that surprised he didn't invite his father to the play?
I wasn't. In fact, I thought the dad expecting to be invited was unreasonable, considering how he'd told the kid his dreams were a waste of time.
I think if this movie was more about Grace and used the song to display grace then it would be better. The grace of God storyline feels tagged on.
it did drag on, but at the same time i was still engaged.
I’ve been waiting for this!!!!!
Yes!! Brad and Kevin! Together at last!
I for one loved the Bowling For Soup reference
I was skeptical about this review at first. Especially because I haven't heard of the other dude. But you guys really had a cool chemistry together. You aren't the same things but I can appreciate both senses of humor together. It was also "meta" to me in a way. Thanks Kevin for putting out some cool content.
Avengers: infinity war has nothing on this team up.
The Amy Grant dialogue right at the beginning is from the ending at the Amy Grant concert.
I subbed thanks to Brad Jones :D
This is now in my top ten of most unexpected crossovers/collaborations. I can only imagine other movies keeping a crossover like that secret. See what I did there? 😂
"I REFUSE TO FEEL EMOTIONS"
Is it bad that this sentence hits home for me? Am I dead inside?
It’s all we can be these days.
"The Perfect Crossover doesn't exi--"
I know it's not the best movie in the world, but I still love it!
I never thought this day would come. It's like the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour if Jimmy wasn't an atheist
KarnRulez Wait, I thought CinemaSnob was the Jimmy of this review since they are both Atheists?
BigK13372 Brad has said that he's agnostic if anything, but definitely not an atheist
17:41-17:47 Praise Bart from whom all blessings flow!! I lost it there😂😂
Say “goodnight, Kevin.” Hehe
Congrats for going through the whole review without making a Bart Simpson joke!
The whole movie builds up to the song being about Bart forgiving his dad, but if you listen to the lyrics, it's all about meeting God after death and has nothing to do with his relationship with his father. That's a major problem with a lot of Christian media; everything is about Jesus, to the point that they pay little attention to the people who are actually here on Earth.
-
Also, Bart says a couple times in the movie that Jesus turned his dad from a monster to a completely different person. Doesn't that raise existential questions about personal identity and free will?
Which is why amy grant made it such a thing. She's a great singer, albeit i haven't known her writing many
Goodnight, Kevin.
Goodnight, Kevin.
When I first saw the movie in theatres, I thought it was pretty decent. Looking back I can see the flaws more clearly now. Technically, it’s pretty good (that cinematography 👌🏻). The story needs some work. But It does show that Christian movies have potential...... *and cut! My rant is over* 😂
I agree. :-)
YESSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MY WHOLE LIFE
This song played on the radio when my dad died and it makes me cry.
Just seeing this in May 2023 -- two of my favorite Xn film vloggers - Do more!
i came here because of the snob's new vid. subscribed
Thanks!
42:13 - That line pretty much sums up the moral of every single Dhar Mann video EVER
I hope this budding bromance between Kevin and Snob continues.
Fun fact: in real life, his mom did NOT ditch him at age 13. Instead, his parents divorced when he was THREE YEARS OLD and he lived with his mother up until the third grade, where she moved away with her third husband and had him and his brother stay with Arthur... yeah, so she wasn't a great mom with how she had her kids stay with someone who was abusive toward her, but she wasn't what the movie portrayed. Read this, it shows every other thing the movie says is wrong: www.historyvshollywood.com/reelfaces/i-can-only-imagine/
Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of this is in the book too, which I read as well. That's why I made the jokes about how awkward it would be if his mom wasn't as bad as the movie makes it seem.
Haha, Kevin says "Go to commercial! Go to commercial!" and I get a popup ad about pretzels:)
"Yo yo yo, did somebody say Gotee?" XD
Cinema snob summed everything I thought about this movie. For the Christian movies I've seen Kevin review and sadly seeing the first God's not dead I can only imagine seemed like a big step forward for Christian movies.
This is the most unexpected thing I've ever seen! Thanks for doing this!
This is my Infinity War.
There was an ad for pure flix before this video. Please help me.
"You're a heartless bastard...and I can respect that!" LOL!
This was a fun thing to see as a fan of both already! Great movie pick too.
No Simpson joke because of the name "Bart"....???
Love me some Cinema Snob.
You guys can say whatever you want about this movie, but "I Can Only Imagine" is a beautiful song and when they decided to turn it into a true life story and made a movie out of it, I didn't watch it in theaters, but ordered it on Amazon for my 28th birthday in October 2021. And I'm glad I did, because this movie is truly as inspiring as the song is. Y'all can say what you want it won't effect me one bit, but I love this movie. And I'm not saying it's perfect, no movie is, but it's definitely worth watching for me.
It's not that the movie isn't good or entertaining, it's just not actually how the story went. 🤦♂️
Move over infinity war, this is the ambitious crossover event we’ve been waiting for.
Can you believe there's a Veggie Tales cover of this song, sung by Junior Asparagus? no lie, look it up.
16:20 aw man, I love colony house.
Stephen Fairchild you just made my day
Congrats Kev! This collaboration has to be a milestone.
I really liked I can only imagine. But you are completely right you don't have to like it
The part he got a plate smashed over his head I died
This is the boldest crossover event
I think you're right about Amy Grant Kevin. I was literally named after her and this is the most I've ever heard or seen of her
"ARE WE AGREEING OR ARGUING RIGHT NOW?? BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT--I DON'T CARE!!" New meme joke.
At the end of the movie, there's an end card saying that Bart and Shannon marry in 1997, after the events of the film. Yet much earlier in the movie, the body style of Honda Accord that Trace Adkins drives at 24:05 was only made for the 1998-2002 model years.
-
Also, that "Jeep" Dad says he's rebuilding at 30:20 is obviously a Land Rover at 33:00 and 33:55.
And his dad died when he was 18, long before the hit song was written
When you said go to commercial, it actually went to commercial. #skills #illuminaticonfirmed #heisintouchwiththedemons
"You're a heartless bastard! And I can respect that."
-Cinema Snob
👏 👏 👏
i almost choked when u were listing off the bands u are just like casting crowns, third day, sonic flood, WHO my best friend growing up only listend to christian music so that was funny I know all of them
YAAAASSSS I'm so freakin happy about this colab.
22:30 You realize that "super generic song" is Oh Lord, You're Beautiful by Keith Green, don't you? If they grew up as Baptists, they've probably heard that song many times and know how to play it. (I haven't actually seen this movie, so I don't know the context of that performance.)
I do know that. And I DID grow up baptist. Lol.!
