***A Matter of Faith*** is the story of a Christian girl who goes away to college only to find out that biology professors don't teach the Bible very much, but no one care what girls think, so really it's the story of her *dad* and how he deals with his daughter coming face to face with an evolutionist.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because it's the only thing Netflix recommends anymore.

### **How Bad Was It?**

This movie was *so* fantastic. This was the greatest thing that's ever—here's what—I have this frequently—I have this thought a *lot*, which is I think to myself "I should buy a plane ticket, go down to Valdosta, Georgia, and just watch Noah and Heath watch these movies. Because there's three different viewpoints—behind the scenes, I enjoy these
movies. I sit there and I'm like, "Wow, look at that guy!" I'm having a good time, but no, it just
drags down on their minds that are filled with Sartre and science and astrolo—my brains's not filled with anything. I've got four card tricks and all the porn I've watched, so I got *plenty* of room for *A Matter of Faith*. Cause this is like, if you think to yourself —man, you could watch *God's Not Dead* and you can go "That's a stupid movie with stupid arguments" but the arguments are *nebulous* enough that you can sort of go "Yeah, I mean sure, if you don't understand philosophy, or thinking, or brains, or anything, I get how you can go…" But *God's Not Dead*, it's not like, "rocks don't exist." That's what this—this is *God's Not Dead* except it's about the physical universe, where someone can just be like, "No man, like *literally*, please look at this rock." and someone else can just be like, "No Professor, I'm *not* going to look at that rock."

### **Best Worst**

* Noah: …movie poster. [How is this not a parody? Poe's Law.]

### **Notes**

* The PiaT crew may not have realized it at the time, but this was the first of many Christiano Brothers movies they would review.
* The "resources" section of the film's website previously linked to *Answers in Genesis* and *Creation Ministries International*. Check out the classic site *No Answers in Genesis* instead.

### **Jokes**

* [Noah: This is *so* great. She says—he's like, "Why?" She's like, "I got right with the Lord", and I'm like "Oh my God, that is the best breakup line ever!"] [Eli: Oh, nothing kills *my* boner quicker. Like, if Anna walked out of the bedroom right now and was like "Honey, we can't get married" and I'd be like "What? Why? I love you!" She'd be like, "I found Jesus", I'd be like, "Great. So this stuff is mine, and that stuff's yours. What am I doing? I'm installing Grindr on my phone. It's because it's more direct? I just feel like—I'm going to eventually do Tinder as well, but I'm going to do Grindr *tonight*.]

### **Interstitials**

* Hacking the *Pure Flix* Mainframe (6:31)

* Heath: The actor who played Evan was killed and eaten, by me.
