Thank you! They’re always more afraid of offending the parents of the girl instead of accidentally disrespecting the girl. It also gives the notion that “she posed for such images so she welcomed all judgement for it”. The girl probably didn’t think posing for a few pictures to pay some bills would lead to people treating her like an object.
Yeah, like she only exists if she has some value in the life of another individual ie "she's someone's daughter/sister/mother" or, i dunno, how does "shes a living being" suffice for you? Not enough to matter apparently. A truly ufathomable concept.
Thank you. The fact that so many people are more concerned about a woman’s parents’ reputation than the woman herself as a freaking human being is so messed up.
For a group of people who think most sex is evil and sinful, they're super obsessed with sex. Also, I hate the "she could be your daughter/sister/wife" excuse. It always, ALWAYS sends the message that a woman is only important for consideration because of their relationship to a man, and how *HE* feels about other men seeing her naked. It completely ignores what she wants and assumes that men are in charge of her sexuality.
Repression creates a scarcity mindset which leads to them being obsessed w sex. That's why "porn/masturbation addiction" is only present in situations where sexual repression is high.
I think it's also a reinforcement of being incapable of empathy across genders No, don't put yourself in her shoes; put the women in your life there instead to trigger that visceral disgust!
It’s a delusional perspective. As someone who was raised and grew up in the church I can say pastors kids are always bad af secretly. And Christian kids aren’t innocent at all. If anything they’re worse that regular kids because they over compensate for their strict lifestyle
No kidding. I grew up in an overly religious household. For the longest time, I thought I was “rebellious” for not wanting to wear the modest clothes my parents wanted me to wear. When I went off to college, I realized quickly that the length of shorts I wanted to wear were tame compared to what other girls wore and no one but my mom cared about seeing my shoulders and knees at the same time.
I couldn’t help but think about that line from Arrested Development when George Michael tells his dad that he “has Pop-Pop in the attic,” meaning his grandpa, but his dad thinks he means sex
As a former church kid, I have a guess about why they didn’t try to make the demonic stuff more intense or interesting. I had a youth leader tell me he was in a play where he had the role of satan, and it “messed with him, spiritually.” I think folks like this can be genuinely scared that “acting demonic” in any way is inviting the devil into your heart.
Yes I was going to say this too. They fear it down to even making their own depictions of the devil. They think it’s inviting them by just speaking of demons and how bad they are so I can’t imagine they are to happy to have a demonic story line that would’ve of been graphic.
Well it’s true …. That’s like someone doing a satanic ritual in a movie and then not expecting anything bad to happen in real life. Don’t mess with this stuff . It’s all too real. Look up the curse of Rosemary’s baby! It’s the best example of this
I got lectured once by a youth pastor because a girl I wasn't even friends with, just happened to be talking to, was wearing a skirt that was like half an inch above her knee. When she sat down, you could see part of her leg. So *I* got lectured for it because the *youth pastor* used to have a porn addiction. And THAT, ladies and gentleman, is what it's like being a woman in an evangelical church.
Over the years I’ve increasingly lost the patience to listen to Christians talk about their pornography “addictions” because the culture they created is what gave them that mindset that started the addiction in the first place. In my experience, people who grew up without sexual repression don’t talk about porn or sex nearly as much as Christians do.
I distinctly remember in high school someone I kind of knew telling me how she learned that another guy we knew told his church group that he was addicted to porn and as a baby ace I had no idea what to do with that information
I love the fundie aesthetic that "I accidentally opened one of Mom's 1976 Sears catalogs and saw a faded picture of a lady in shorts so now I'm literally a porn and sex addict with a demon haunting my entire existence and trying to kill me." I know many people who used to love me who would love this movie.
I think there's even research about this concluding that people who categorize themselves as "porn addicts" don't even spend an extraordinary amount of time watching porn but rather have values that conflict with porn consumption in general. Their framing of it as an addiction alleviates the suffering from this cognitive dissonance.

I have heard such horrible stories of parents destroying artwork and writing. The ultimate piece of shit thing to do to the one person you are supposed to protect.

I love how nobody in this whole movie ever actually mentions that it's not what a person is addicted to that destroys their lives but the addiction itself, how rare addiction to adult entertainment actually is or that it's an issue with mental health and a psychological condition, and how they trivialized consent by comparing situations where one person knows they're being watched and one where they don't.
Christians generally aren't great at addressing mental health and the point of this movie is to literally demonize porn. They want to foster guilt and shame in the intended audience, which is hormonal teenagers, so they become more devout on account of fear of Hell
@@RM-um9xxan extremely fair point. I expected exactly that, I just wanted to point it out since at the time I posted my comment I didn't see anyone else in the comments with a similar observation.
"Porn addiction" isn't even a real thing. It's not recognized by psychiatry. The whole concept was made up by evangelicals like the ones who made this movie
Surprisingly, some of the most homosexual things I ever did in my youth happened during church lock-ins and camps in secret. I'm proud of my young mostly- closeted gay and trans friends and I for subverting the cishetnormativeness (and abject homophobia) that pervaded Falls Creek Baptist Youth Camp and Conference LOL
I grew up Southern Baptist and very pansexual, so happy I didn’t end up repressing my sexuality and becoming overtly homophobic like a lot of the people I went to church with did.
Falls Creek in OK, right? 😂 I knew so many people who went there lmao. I grew up going to a Methodist church, which was pretty socially neutral at the time, and is now very accepting… I can’t imagine how much I would’ve struggled if I’d grown up Southern Baptist
My mom has told me about their college roommate that was religious, so she never swore. Instead, she would say non-swears like “fart in a teacup”. Eventually, my mom lot her shit on her and begged her to just swear, cuz her non swears are creating mental images worse than anything God would do to her for actually swearing.
I wonder if the Bible actually has any verses saying Christians shouldn't swear. I've only read the Qur'an and I think I remember something like that in it
Patton Oswald use to do bit about clean profanity being much creepier than dirty profanity using a similar situation. Just the fact that clean profanity tries so hard to avoid real profanity means the person using it has thought more situations and scenarios in their head than normal people makes it much more disturbing. Think about it: how many phrases did that roommate go through to get to “fart in a teacup”?
@@toyamwarr I remember being in 4th grade and a classmate getting in trouble for saying “what the cheese” bc our teacher said it had the same spirit behind the words as if they had actually cursed. And that memory still sticks with me bc of how absurd it was. Like, what could they have said alternatively that wouldn’t have made you mad? Lmao
This movie is exactly how I imagine straight people experiencing something other than heteronormativity. Their whole attitude is “Help! I don’t understand what’s happening so I’m scared! And it keeps following us no matter how many times we reject it!” 😂 This movie should be called “Christians, Scared Straight!”
Judging by the amount of times the Blake character is rubbing his nose throughout this movie, they should be more concerned about the devil's dandruff than porn.
I grew up in an abusive, ultra conservative, "Christian" environment that drilled these same ideas into my head daily... All while being queer af and terrified of being found out. Watching your videos has honestly been so cathartic and healing for me. Big thanks to you and everyone else in the comments for making me feel less alone.
Nooo! He must stop 😭 he used to do it way less, we must find a way back ("We have to go back!" said in Jack Shepard's voice, from the later seasons of the tv show Lost)
At my church lock-in, I made my friends watch 2003 Peter Pan with Jeremy Sumpter and it was truly a religious experience. The hold that boy I had on my 10-year-old brain was unparalleled
If I saw everyone was gone I'd have thought everyone left without me, not that they were taken, but maybe those are my abandonment issues talking 🤦🏻♀️🤣
As someone who has been left behind his entire life I totally agree. Though God wouldn't rapture those bastards before me or the Devil would be the least of his worries!

If Nick isn't rich, famous, and out of touch by 2023, I'm starting a movement. I need to see "Director DiRamio" up on the screen or I'm gonna start collecting signatures! Hollywood needs his creative greatness!
We got away with watching Juno at my church lock-in. The big downside was then we all had to talk about what kinds of not Christian things happened once the advisors involved realized we were watching a movie about a teen pregnancy lol
What's funny is that my sister and I had watched it at home with my dad around and he was one of the chaperones. He was so oblivious until the lady chaperone told him it was inappropriate. Our teenage selves saw nothing wrong with the grown men hitting on teenage girls in movies as watching lots of teenage girl movies had really desensitized us to such things.
We had a really cool lock-in at my middle school that we did every year called the Rock-A-Thon bc we would all bring rugs, side tables, game consoles, dvd players, vhs players, rocking chairs of all kinds and other types of house chairs, beanbags, and sleeping bags. The entire gym was totally transformed and it was like for one night all the bullies were nice and people were so inclusive compared to usual. It was easily one of my favorite memories from that time. Just wanted to share that bc I forgot about lock-ins until you said that term!
My husband's church did Rock-A-Thons when he was younger. His were just for the youth members of the church and his parents made him go. I don't think he enjoyed them much. They weren't allowed video games or anything. They just watched Christian movies and listened to Christian radio.
@@adrian_hook maybe. There was even a raffle, and I remember thinking about how silent it would be if I won and had to get up to get my prize, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear the whole school cheering for every single winner, including me. I bet you there's something to your wonder. Everyone was more relaxed, for sure.
Pictures of naked people described as “Sick and disgusting.” Is absolutely ridiculous. These people telling their kids that natural feelings, and human biology is wrong can cause so much damage and it’s so stupid!
Nick, your commentary on these Christian movies helps me dissect the complex traumas I endured as a child of a pastor. I'm like damn, that's not normal? well.
WHEW BOY this brought back how i actually went to a church lock-in with my best friend whose dad was the pastor. i couldn't listen to the fuckin backstreet boys or 99.9999999999% of the 'drive me crazy' soundtrack except that *one* jars of clay song. my friend fuckin snitched on me when i completely ignored him and he took my damn CDs away. when i told my ex-catholic parents they were Not Happy and ended up calling her dad and it was a Thing. i also walked in on her having a conversation with one of the youth leaders about how i wouldn't convert and how ✨it weighed in her spiritually✨ like for hell's sake we were 12 fuckin relax
I want my money back! My smutty magazine came completely unparanormal...looks like I'm still all alone. Last time I shop at that so called haunted adult store
I saw the church and went, "...I recognize this." I looked it up and, turns out, this movie was filmed in the town I grew up in for like 13 years. They would have been filming this while I still lived there, in a church I'm pretty sure I've been to. Which is hilarious.
Religious migraines are no joke, Mr DiRamio. I get one every month during my "evil demonic woman week of evil". Also cravings for chocolate and mild dehydration.
In Ireland, a lockin is when you know the pub owner and they let you stay after last call to drink more, locking the doors and closing the blinds so the gardai don't know they're selling after hours.
Awww, it’s so cute how Nick gives the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt that they totally did NOT intentionally create this terrible stripe effect with a VHS filter to make it look authentic.
Guess no one told them that a 'Lock-in' in Ireland is where a few people who know the bartender are left in the pub at the end of the night, the doors are locked, and it becomes an easy friendly drinking hang out, with no last call because the bar isnt open. More common in smaller/more rural pubs, but literally everone has been/ will be to at least one lock-in in their lifetime.
To be totally fair when I was dragged to church as a teen I read erotic fanfiction while waiting for the damn service to be over. My mom stopped bringing me after a while. Then I became an agnostic and stopped going altogether. Those priests/youth pastors would lose their fucking mind at what I was writing under their church roof.
Aww, fun fact, my fiancè and I used to be in choir back in middle school and we went to a church lock in like this once, it was definitely memorable. The girls were pink team, boys were blue team, and the only rule was "No purpling!" And now 13 years later here we are together watching you! And we love ya doll. 😘
Two 80s movies that you should definitely do for Halloween! “Something Wicked this way comes” and “Watcher in the Woods” with Bette Davis…I have not watched them in years but the nightmares were long lasting!
The only fear I dealt with at church lock-ins were two broken bones at two separate events. As a gay, I feel like the only paranormal activities happening here were me trying to do anything physical.
Your coverage of Christian movies are my fav! I feel like I’m watching National Geographic! Getting a peak inside an unseen world (to me) that’s dangerous and cut throat.
Is the part where the parents are praying for the teen boy's trap door supposed to be comical or serious? Because it's definitely comical, but this is a supposedly serious movie about how porn summons demons so what message are they trying to convey with that goofy scene?
I think that every time I watch this. So many aspects are so out-there that I'm actually considering that this movie was supposed to be satire/parody The man going on and on about 'what if you boys were watching my family' is just so bizarre that I Must tell myself it's all a big joke 😭 the alternative, though much more likely, is just so much more disturbing
just went through a break up today so really needed something to distract my mind. thank you for uploading consistently, your wittiness is exactly what i need right now
Take it one day at a time, and find things you enjoy to do. It’s ok to cry. If you have support lean on them if you need to. Go no-contact if you intend to move on, it does make it easier. I know everyone says this but it WILL get better ❤️
this feels like something i would have participated in when i was 13 and desperately trying to convince people that i'm truly a good christian girl - fast forward and im an atheist
When Nick and Blake were introduced, I was like "Yep, we're going to talk about how it's all 20- somethings playing teens but aren't fooling anyone" lol
Hangman's curse should very much be on your list. That movie was even based off of a book and it was Christian cringe and part of me will always love that ridiculous movie. It has David Keith, Mel Harris, Leighton Meester, and Douglas Smith in it.
That's the Christian Scooby-Doo right? If you like these goofy movies getting ripped on you should check out the podcast God Awful Movies, it's really funny
The indie movie “Porno” was like this, but actually well made and funny. Also Nick can you please do a clip breakdown of “The Sound of Music” with Carrie underwood? It’s so amazingly terrible!
Whenever I see one of these I struggle between "here's ways it could be better" and "fuck 'em" I'm also barely holding back from making a joke that's not really a joke about how religious leaders will rave about the evils of pr0n but be fine with SA-ing parishioners, especially children, up until the point they get caught
Just want to say how much I appreciate you always linking your videos to a social justice issue. I’m an organizer and have literally had people tell me about your videos and how they opened their eyes so I just wanted to say thank you for opening that door 💕
How much you wanna bet this movie was "written" by the youth pastor who still thinks kids' only access to porn is mags stashed under their beds, and the kids in the film just went along with it for obvious reasons.
Hey Nick, i grew up christian and there was this film series that scared the shit out of me when I was younger. Its just called the apocalypse series, i think one of them is called apocalyse:tribulation or something? Mr T is in them. I have no idea how it holds up but it sounds like it would be a fun one if you're looking for more Christian creepy movies😇
I just saw the cringiest, most nonsensical "horror" movie called "Mid-Century" released this year-- I was hanging onto the plot until the point i think the writers gave up trying to connect all the storylines and just started using crazy CGI effects they probably spent too much money on. Would love to see you make more sense of it than me 😅
I found this movie when they reviewed it on GAM, and I loved it so much I watched it a couple of times. It criticizes itself so hard that it's accidentally brilliant. I was a youth group/church kid as well, and yeah, demons will get you for pretty basic activities - I must have a bunch at this point. Turns out they're not that bad.
This makes me think about when I was a kid & my aunt saw me watching Pokémon - she told me not to watch it because it’s “evil” and is related to the devil 💀
😂 I always wonder if Nick added any extra effect to that part, or if literally that actress forgot all of the advice she'd learned from her weekly community theatre besides "play for the back row"
I had to spend most of today with family that included some super catholic irritants who insisted on doing victory laps now that Roe was overturned. I totally needed your snark, Nick, THANK YOU.
so i just watched this random indie vampire movie for free on RUclips called “Hunted” (apparently named “Rufus” internationally for some reason) and i didn’t hate it but it did do some “telling and not showing” among other things you tend to point out. i’d love to see you constructively critique the movie. also you’re intelligently hilarious👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 😘
I’m just now remembering the time that me and my girl group Christian garage band was having practice in the church alone, and at some point we heard noises coming from the attic above the baptismal, and we worked ourselves into a blind panic. By the time my parents came to pick us up, we had barricaded the baptismal door and were huddled together in a corner of the fellowship hall. It’s easy to get worked up when you’ve been told that demons are real since you were born 😅 so for these kids, this level of panic probably feels realistic haha. Also looking back, that church building had some really dark energy 😬
I got COVID and now anything with vinegar, acetic acid or meat in it smells like poison and tastes like it could be embalming fluid! Also woke up to that sickly sweet smell of death a few mornings in a row; started to think I had died and was stuck in purgatory. There were four days where I just wanted to lay motionless, but then I would ache all over. Hope you're feeling much better! I hope this phantosmia goes away soon, it's been two weeks now!
I don’t understand why that guy couldn’t just, y’know, show his friends the footage we’ve just been watching to his friends when they claim it never happened.

The Hanged Man’s Curse movie was based on a Christian novel. I honestly don’t recall it being a bad movie. But I could be wrong because the first and last time I watched it I was in my youth group years. And I didn’t know any better either.😅😬So I guess you could do a clip breakdown of the film..?🤷♀️

"Porn addiction" isn't even a real thing. It's not recognized by psychiatry. The whole concept was made up by evangelicals like the ones who made this movie
Surprisingly, some of the most homosexual things I ever did in my youth happened during church lock-ins and camps in secret. I'm proud of my young mostly- closeted gay and trans friends and I for subverting the cishetnormativeness (and abject homophobia) that pervaded Falls Creek Baptist Youth Camp and Conference LOL
Yessssss slay lol
I grew up Southern Baptist and very pansexual, so happy I didn’t end up repressing my sexuality and becoming overtly homophobic like a lot of the people I went to church with did.
This is FABULOUS!! 👏🏻👑
I applaud your rebellion. Not to be immature but what is this wonderful emoji? I've never seen it, I want it.
Falls Creek in OK, right? 😂 I knew so many people who went there lmao. I grew up going to a Methodist church, which was pretty socially neutral at the time, and is now very accepting… I can’t imagine how much I would’ve struggled if I’d grown up Southern Baptist
My mom has told me about their college roommate that was religious, so she never swore. Instead, she would say non-swears like “fart in a teacup”. Eventually, my mom lot her shit on her and begged her to just swear, cuz her non swears are creating mental images worse than anything God would do to her for actually swearing.
I wonder if the Bible actually has any verses saying Christians shouldn't swear. I've only read the Qur'an and I think I remember something like that in it
Patton Oswald use to do bit about clean profanity being much creepier than dirty profanity using a similar situation. Just the fact that clean profanity tries so hard to avoid real profanity means the person using it has thought more situations and scenarios in their head than normal people makes it much more disturbing. Think about it: how many phrases did that roommate go through to get to “fart in a teacup”?
@@toyamwarr I remember being in 4th grade and a classmate getting in trouble for saying “what the cheese” bc our teacher said it had the same spirit behind the words as if they had actually cursed. And that memory still sticks with me bc of how absurd it was. Like, what could they have said alternatively that wouldn’t have made you mad? Lmao
"Fart in a teacup" is now forever in my vernacular! Thank you for this! May your life be beautiful and your future bright and prosperous!
@Linda Les I don’t think it did 😂
This movie is exactly how I imagine straight people experiencing something other than heteronormativity. Their whole attitude is “Help! I don’t understand what’s happening so I’m scared! And it keeps following us no matter how many times we reject it!” 😂
This movie should be called “Christians, Scared Straight!”
“Is that a demon chasing me?!”
No, it’s your latent homosexuality, Bryan. Now let him catch up and see how much better your life becomes.
Judging by the amount of times the Blake character is rubbing his nose throughout this movie, they should be more concerned about the devil's dandruff than porn.
I grew up in an abusive, ultra conservative, "Christian" environment that drilled these same ideas into my head daily... All while being queer af and terrified of being found out. Watching your videos has honestly been so cathartic and healing for me. Big thanks to you and everyone else in the comments for making me feel less alone.
wait that scene where he tried breaking the window with that chair killed me LMAOOOO
Nick will NEVER stop saying "pasture" instead of "pastor" and, frankly, I'm here for it. 🙌
I searched for this comment 🙏
At this point, I’M saying pasture too
Nooo! He must stop 😭 he used to do it way less, we must find a way back ("We have to go back!" said in Jack Shepard's voice, from the later seasons of the tv show Lost)
At my church lock-in, I made my friends watch 2003 Peter Pan with Jeremy Sumpter and it was truly a religious experience. The hold that boy I had on my 10-year-old brain was unparalleled
lol i watched that movie so many times my DVD copy eventually stopped working, i was in LOVE
What a film. Masterpiece. Can’t believe it’s almost 20 years old
that is so hilarious considering the actor was in a lifetime movie about a porn addiction but the writers don’t understand how porn works
Normally, I wouldn't put the words "church lock in" and "10 year old boy" in a single sentence, but thank you for sharing
If I saw everyone was gone I'd have thought everyone left without me, not that they were taken, but maybe those are my abandonment issues talking 🤦🏻♀️🤣
As someone who has been left behind his entire life I totally agree. Though God wouldn't rapture those bastards before me or the Devil would be the least of his worries!
no same bc I’m a very quiet person so it’s easy for people to just forget I’m there and leave without me
@@marywallace3378 Reminds me of the Oblongs, when the mom leaves her daughter at the store and is talking to her alcohol which she's buckled into the front seat. XD
No, it's just common sense.
If Nick isn't rich, famous, and out of touch by 2023, I'm starting a movement. I need to see "Director DiRamio" up on the screen or I'm gonna start collecting signatures! Hollywood needs his creative greatness!
We got away with watching Juno at my church lock-in. The big downside was then we all had to talk about what kinds of not Christian things happened once the advisors involved realized we were watching a movie about a teen pregnancy lol
did they not see the poster or dvd cover lolll
They were probably happy that the girl had the baby at all instead of getting it aborted.
I REALLY NEED TO KNOW: did Jason Bateman's character hitting on a teenage girl count as a "not Christian thing" from the movie?
What's funny is that my sister and I had watched it at home with my dad around and he was one of the chaperones. He was so oblivious until the lady chaperone told him it was inappropriate.
Our teenage selves saw nothing wrong with the grown men hitting on teenage girls in movies as watching lots of teenage girl movies had really desensitized us to such things.
We started to watch Grease and the chaps had to shut it down halfway through 'Tell Me More" (approx. 5 minutes into the movie.)
We had a really cool lock-in at my middle school that we did every year called the Rock-A-Thon bc we would all bring rugs, side tables, game consoles, dvd players, vhs players, rocking chairs of all kinds and other types of house chairs, beanbags, and sleeping bags. The entire gym was totally transformed and it was like for one night all the bullies were nice and people were so inclusive compared to usual. It was easily one of my favorite memories from that time. Just wanted to share that bc I forgot about lock-ins until you said that term!
My husband's church did Rock-A-Thons when he was younger. His were just for the youth members of the church and his parents made him go. I don't think he enjoyed them much. They weren't allowed video games or anything. They just watched Christian movies and listened to Christian radio.
That’s interesting! I wonder if being in a more home-like environment made people put their guards down
@@adrian_hook maybe. There was even a raffle, and I remember thinking about how silent it would be if I won and had to get up to get my prize, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear the whole school cheering for every single winner, including me. I bet you there's something to your wonder. Everyone was more relaxed, for sure.
Pictures of naked people described as “Sick and disgusting.” Is absolutely ridiculous. These people telling their kids that natural feelings, and human biology is wrong can cause so much damage and it’s so stupid!
Nick, your commentary on these Christian movies helps me dissect the complex traumas I endured as a child of a pastor. I'm like damn, that's not normal? well.
I hope you're doing okay. Overbearing family members are the worst tbh
WHEW BOY this brought back how i actually went to a church lock-in with my best friend whose dad was the pastor. i couldn't listen to the fuckin backstreet boys or 99.9999999999% of the 'drive me crazy' soundtrack except that *one* jars of clay song. my friend fuckin snitched on me when i completely ignored him and he took my damn CDs away. when i told my ex-catholic parents they were Not Happy and ended up calling her dad and it was a Thing.
i also walked in on her having a conversation with one of the youth leaders about how i wouldn't convert and how ✨it weighed in her spiritually✨ like for hell's sake we were 12 fuckin relax
I want my money back! My smutty magazine came completely unparanormal...looks like I'm still all alone. Last time I shop at that so called haunted adult store
😂😂😂
A haunted porn magazine. Absolutely amazing premise.
I saw the church and went, "...I recognize this." I looked it up and, turns out, this movie was filmed in the town I grew up in for like 13 years. They would have been filming this while I still lived there, in a church I'm pretty sure I've been to. Which is hilarious.
Religious migraines are no joke, Mr DiRamio. I get one every month during my "evil demonic woman week of evil". Also cravings for chocolate and mild dehydration.
I literally broke my hip getting bucked off a horse 3 days ago so the horses stepping on my butt comment made me laugh until my surgical wounds hurt.
Damn, hope you’re feeling better now! Also nice pfp
In Ireland, a lockin is when you know the pub owner and they let you stay after last call to drink more, locking the doors and closing the blinds so the gardai don't know they're selling after hours.
Awww, it’s so cute how Nick gives the filmmakers the benefit of the doubt that they totally did NOT intentionally create this terrible stripe effect with a VHS filter to make it look authentic.
Guess no one told them that a 'Lock-in' in Ireland is where a few people who know the bartender are left in the pub at the end of the night, the doors are locked, and it becomes an easy friendly drinking hang out, with no last call because the bar isnt open. More common in smaller/more rural pubs, but literally everone has been/ will be to at least one lock-in in their lifetime.
Same deal in England except it’s usually the landlord or bar manager rather than a regular bartender
To be totally fair when I was dragged to church as a teen I read erotic fanfiction while waiting for the damn service to be over. My mom stopped bringing me after a while. Then I became an agnostic and stopped going altogether. Those priests/youth pastors would lose their fucking mind at what I was writing under their church roof.
I can relate, heavily to this
My suspension of disbelief was shattered as soon as I heard a high schooler say “Dirty mag” in 2014. Okay grandpa Joe, time for your nap.
Aww, fun fact, my fiancè and I used to be in choir back in middle school and we went to a church lock in like this once, it was definitely memorable. The girls were pink team, boys were blue team, and the only rule was "No purpling!" And now 13 years later here we are together watching you! And we love ya doll. 😘
Two 80s movies that you should definitely do for Halloween! “Something Wicked this way comes” and “Watcher in the Woods” with Bette Davis…I have not watched them in years but the nightmares were long lasting!
I haven’t thought about watcher in the woods in years! Yes, great suggestions!
I remember being terrified of Watcher in the Woods when I was little.
The only fear I dealt with at church lock-ins were two broken bones at two separate events. As a gay, I feel like the only paranormal activities happening here were me trying to do anything physical.
Your coverage of Christian movies are my fav! I feel like I’m watching National Geographic! Getting a peak inside an unseen world (to me) that’s dangerous and cut throat.
I'm fascinated with Christian movies as a person who was luckily raised atheist
Is the part where the parents are praying for the teen boy's trap door supposed to be comical or serious? Because it's definitely comical, but this is a supposedly serious movie about how porn summons demons so what message are they trying to convey with that goofy scene?
I think that every time I watch this. So many aspects are so out-there that I'm actually considering that this movie was supposed to be satire/parody
The man going on and on about 'what if you boys were watching my family' is just so bizarre that I Must tell myself it's all a big joke 😭 the alternative, though much more likely, is just so much more disturbing
Blake’s hand movements reminds me of the older resident evil games where characters would always move their arms when they had any dialogue to say.
“We going to get crazy and have a lot of fun at the church lock in.” Those words feel like they don’t go together.🤣
Oh my gosh he’s finally doing another Christian horror. I’ve been patiently waiting for one of these. They always deliver.
just went through a break up today so really needed something to distract my mind. thank you for uploading consistently, your wittiness is exactly what i need right now
i hope you're okay i'm so sorry that happened to you :((
I’m so sorry! Hope you feel better soon. That absolutely sucks to go through and I’m sending all my love
Really sorry to hear that :'(
Yeah, I like to watch Nick's videos when I need to make myself feel better too
Take it one day at a time, and find things you enjoy to do. It’s ok to cry. If you have support lean on them if you need to. Go no-contact if you intend to move on, it does make it easier. I know everyone says this but it WILL get better ❤️
Sending good thoughts to you!
as someone named genesis i’m sorry but the moment i need to comment on is how surreal it feels to hear nick saying my name. amazing
What an absolute amazing honour
this feels like something i would have participated in when i was 13 and desperately trying to convince people that i'm truly a good christian girl - fast forward and im an atheist
When Nick and Blake were introduced, I was like "Yep, we're going to talk about how it's all 20- somethings playing teens but aren't fooling anyone" lol
i died at the guy who told the story about his Pop Pop who ran over his poetry laptop💀💀💀💀
My mother just chewed me out for not going to church and my remedy was to watch this and laugh
As someone abused by religion, I fond this very cathartic. You are forever and always my absolute favorite. Luv ya Nick 😘😍❤
I need a streaming service which is just Nick reviewing the entire library of PureFlix
Blake out here acting like he's in a PS2 game, gesticulating wildly at all times.
"Sir, we're sorry we found a magazine in the trash, just please stop saying pervy things about your immediate family" 😂
Hangman's curse should very much be on your list. That movie was even based off of a book and it was Christian cringe and part of me will always love that ridiculous movie. It has David Keith, Mel Harris, Leighton Meester, and Douglas Smith in it.
I loved this movie lmaooo
I watched this movie years ago, and only recently discovered it was an adaptation of a book and was a religious work kkkkkk
came here to suggest this one, and House (2008) which is based on a book by the same author of Hangman's Curse
That's the Christian Scooby-Doo right? If you like these goofy movies getting ripped on you should check out the podcast God Awful Movies, it's really funny
The indie movie “Porno” was like this, but actually well made and funny. Also Nick can you please do a clip breakdown of “The Sound of Music” with Carrie underwood? It’s so amazingly terrible!
Whenever I see one of these I struggle between "here's ways it could be better" and "fuck 'em"
I'm also barely holding back from making a joke that's not really a joke about how religious leaders will rave about the evils of pr0n but be fine with SA-ing parishioners, especially children, up until the point they get caught
Just want to say how much I appreciate you always linking your videos to a social justice issue. I’m an organizer and have literally had people tell me about your videos and how they opened their eyes so I just wanted to say thank you for opening that door 💕
How much you wanna bet this movie was "written" by the youth pastor who still thinks kids' only access to porn is mags stashed under their beds, and the kids in the film just went along with it for obvious reasons.
Hey Nick, i grew up christian and there was this film series that scared the shit out of me when I was younger. Its just called the apocalypse series, i think one of them is called apocalyse:tribulation or something? Mr T is in them.
I have no idea how it holds up but it sounds like it would be a fun one if you're looking for more Christian creepy movies😇
I just saw the cringiest, most nonsensical "horror" movie called "Mid-Century" released this year-- I was hanging onto the plot until the point i think the writers gave up trying to connect all the storylines and just started using crazy CGI effects they probably spent too much money on. Would love to see you make more sense of it than me 😅
I found this movie when they reviewed it on GAM, and I loved it so much I watched it a couple of times. It criticizes itself so hard that it's accidentally brilliant. I was a youth group/church kid as well, and yeah, demons will get you for pretty basic activities - I must have a bunch at this point. Turns out they're not that bad.
This makes me think about when I was a kid & my aunt saw me watching Pokémon - she told me not to watch it because it’s “evil” and is related to the devil 💀
The mom screaming "NIIIIIICK" made me pause that shit had me rolling. Can you imagine someone yelling your name like that
😂 I always wonder if Nick added any extra effect to that part, or if literally that actress forgot all of the advice she'd learned from her weekly community theatre besides "play for the back row"
I had to spend most of today with family that included some super catholic irritants who insisted on doing victory laps now that Roe was overturned. I totally needed your snark, Nick, THANK YOU.
I got this entire video as an ad on a documentary about Bigfoot. I've never bee entertained by a half-hour ad before.
“It successfully destroyed her family, even better” 😆
The paper bag made me think it was booze even with the context that it's about Lucifer's Catalogue of Deadly Sin. 😆
the scream up the stairs is HILARIOUS, so disappointed they didn't take this into a "scary movie" comedy direction
Ngl "it really sucks cus all my poetry was on there too" makes me laugh everytime
so i just watched this random indie vampire movie for free on RUclips called “Hunted” (apparently named “Rufus” internationally for some reason) and i didn’t hate it but it did do some “telling and not showing” among other things you tend to point out. i’d love to see you constructively critique the movie. also you’re intelligently hilarious👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 😘
I’m just now remembering the time that me and my girl group Christian garage band was having practice in the church alone, and at some point we heard noises coming from the attic above the baptismal, and we worked ourselves into a blind panic. By the time my parents came to pick us up, we had barricaded the baptismal door and were huddled together in a corner of the fellowship hall. It’s easy to get worked up when you’ve been told that demons are real since you were born 😅 so for these kids, this level of panic probably feels realistic haha. Also looking back, that church building had some really dark energy 😬
“When she grew into her areolas” 😂😂😂😂💀💀 you are so fn funny! And brilliant and super creative! Love your work, keep it up!
Been sick in bed all week and was desperate for something to cheer me up. Clicked on this within a second as I knew it'd do the trick. Cheers Nick!
I got COVID and now anything with vinegar, acetic acid or meat in it smells like poison and tastes like it could be embalming fluid! Also woke up to that sickly sweet smell of death a few mornings in a row; started to think I had died and was stuck in purgatory. There were four days where I just wanted to lay motionless, but then I would ache all over.
Hope you're feeling much better! I hope this phantosmia goes away soon, it's been two weeks now!
I hope you feel better!!!!! Sending love from NC ❤️❤️😘
I don’t understand why that guy couldn’t just, y’know, show his friends the footage we’ve just been watching to his friends when they claim it never happened.
The mom screaming for no god dámn reason got me☠️
so glad to have caught a bit of the live watching yesterday and had so much fun for the first act, and then bam so excited to open youtube and have a video from you, literally every piece of content you share is so great and if anything gets better and better, already so excited to see todays video lmao any title of yours with christian in it i know is gonna be a roast for sure 😂
Hahah thank you so much!! I’m so happy and grateful you’re part of the patreon fam!!! Those lives give me lifeee❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@NickDiRamioTV have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic? I figured you do because who else inspired you to review movies
Christian movies confirming they do not understand consent at all lmaoo that pastor really said porn is the same thing as peeping like sir are you okay
They are not okay
Worst part abt being Christian is having like…one(1) good Christian movie…made in 1998
The Prince of Egypt? Thats my only good Christian movie from the 90s🤣
@@Yakita60 yep! It’s one of my favorite movies, the only good Christian movie I’ve ever watched sadly tho
The Hanged Man’s Curse movie was based on a Christian novel. I honestly don’t recall it being a bad movie. But I could be wrong because the first and last time I watched it I was in my youth group years. And I didn’t know any better either.😅😬So I guess you could do a clip breakdown of the film..?🤷♀️
I rewatched it in college with friends and kept saying "I swear the book was better" "it made more sense when I was younger" "and no I didn't realize that was totally the kid Jay sold drugs to in the Clerks and Jay & Silent Bob movies"
Two things: 1. the pure flix ad I got on this video was 👌🏼2. The shea-butter-glistening-on-breasts monologue had me cracking up
“I believe demons come from pornography” should be your next Merch launch 😂
Yesssss can’t wait to see what an absolute monstrosity this is!!!
Did anyone else notice that the actor who’s pop-pop ran over his laptop forgot to take off his wedding band?
Wooo, new Nick video to watch with my newly adopted pregnant cat! 🤣 Love as always!
omg how cute!! big hugs
Congrats kitty cat!! I am watching with my 20 year old, one eyed cat!! She's adopted too- it's been a year 😻😻😻!! Hope your kitty is adjusting well to her new forever home ♥️..sounds like she is!
@@rayhaveman4886 She actually ran up to me while I was standing on my porch and just decided this was her home now! She's an absolute love bug, always wants snuggles. Just a little thing, vet says she's only about a year old and has about a month before the babies come!
@@rayhaveman4886 And how sweet! My previous baby was 14 when he passed in October. I had just been really missing him, and suddenly this little girl showed up to steal our hearts!
i hope all her kittens are healthy when they come. i love hearing people adopting animals!
Anyone else reminded of Arrested Development? 😂
"I have Pop-Pop in the attic."
"The fact that you call it that tells me you're not ready."
You know what was a really great Horror Christian movie? Bless The Child. I was obsessed with it when I was a kid and I didn't even realize it was a christian movie until I thought about it this year. I would love to know what you think about that movie!
That and The Stand were a couple of the only “religious” movies I continued to enjoy over the years!! 🖤✝️
@@princesslina4043 I don't think I have seen The Stand I'll have to check it out, but I do remember thinking the acting in Bless The Child was amazing and I agree the movie still holds up
This video brought back memories of youth group and youth leaders and honestly that is the most terrifying horror there is.
No where near as ominous as the three contractor bags of eighties pr0n we found helping clean out a swamp when I was in highschool.
Normally I don’t have anything against pr0n but that... that’s a little ominous.
@@adeer87 for context it was 2003, so it wasn't as old then as it would be now. But a bunch of us were hanging out on the weekend and a few more people showed up with the bags dramatically depositing the damp bags into the room "I bring you....SWAMP P0RN"
Ahhh "youth pastor Dan and his piss colored walls" really takes me back to my middle school youth group days. Not the nostalgia I was looking for 😂
My mom caught about the last five minutes while I was watching this. I had to explain the rest of the video. The context didn't help 🙂
the plot line seems more similar to/derivative of Grave Encounters than Paranormal Activity
doesn't make the experience more watchable lol thank u for all that you do Nick 😭
Had to say goodbye to our old dog 2 days ago. Feeling blah. Glad to see a new video to cheer me up a little.
I have a thirteen year old dachsund/chihuahua/border mix. He's starting to have good days and bad days. :( Sorry for your loss, Jim! Dogs are some of the greatest gifts in life and I think they feel the same way about us.
I had trouble getting rid of a magazine once, but there was a very practical reason why it was stuck to my nightstand.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣"stop talking about your immediate family like that" im dead 😂🤣😂🤣
I would kill for Nick to cover the Left Behind movies (the og Kirk Cameron ones, not the Nic Cage remake OR BOTH I GUESS???). Those movies were teenage me's LIFE and I need Nick to rip them apart.
I’m going to save up my extra money for the mug-can plush asap! 🥰 I love your content SO MUCH and I want something to cuddle while I binge your vids haha. Thank you for all of your hard work! (I really appreciate the consistency and rate at which you put out content)
Ordered the cup plushie! I'll have to get a Jessica Humility Jones sticker another time, wouldn't let me order together. Love your videos!
When I found porno mags, it was from the previous owners of the house I was living in hiding it in their low hanging ceiling tiles and it almost hitting me in the face during a renovation. I didn’t know I was gay at the time (transwoman with peen now) so I just threw them away.
Just wasn’t my bag. Though I’m sure someone would have loved them.
