***The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day*** is the story of making very bad tattoo decisions very soon after your eighteenth birthday.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because otherwise you wouldn't hang out with us.

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

Well, if you loved the first movie so much that you… I'm sorry, *tattooed it across your back*? Yikes. It's so hopeful that you can start out as a human being who tattoos the protagonists of *Boondock Saints* across your back and end up *Callie Wright*. There's no—forget those "reformed KKK people" that go on John Oliver. I don't care about those assholes, I wanna know that you can start off loving *Boondock Saints* and end up Callie Wright. [Or Heath Enwright.]

### **Best Worst**

* Heath: ...heroic superpower-ish thing. [Billy Connolly's gun vest.]
* Callie: ...inspiration for people you thought were your friends to make fun of you. [The reason for this review.]
* Noah: ...seasonal subtitle. [All Saints Day, but no Halloween imagery.]
* Eli: ...homophobia. [2009 is so recent, y'all.]

### **Notes**

* Check out Callie on Twitter and *Queersplaining*
* The official website on the poster seems to have simply been a redirect to the Sony website, but there was also an "official" MySpace page, run by the employees of The Boondock Store page. There is still a Boondock Saints page, now a continuation of the merchandise page.
* A director's cut—to which the PiaT crew did not subject themselves—was released on 16 July 2013, and has a runtime of 2:18:01.
* Gerard Parkes wasn't a Muppet, he was also a character named Doc on *Fraggle Rock*.
* The address poopsplaining.com already redirects to a Discordian page.

### **Jokes**

* [Heath: Will you, really quick, describe the tattoo experience that you're referencing right now?] [Callie: Yes, absolutely: when I was sixteen, I was *obsessed* with the first *Boondock Saints* movie, and two or three weeks after I turned eighteen I started a big portrait of the brothers on my back holding their guns. It's the scene from right after where Rocco dies, and they're holding their guns like right at the camera? It's their faces, with their guns held out, and the prayer down the middle.] [Heath: Fantastic. And was the tattoo artist pretty excited about that, or did you have to sign a bunch of waivers about the future?] [Callie: No, he was equally excited.] [Heath: Fantastic.] (2:08)
* [Heath: Can I just point out one particular quote?] [Noah: I think I know *which* quote it's going to be, yeah, uh-uh] [Heath: So. Judd Nelson says "They prison-fucked us " And then he pauses, and then he's like "In the ass."] [Noah: No. We saw where you were going there.] [Heath: Okay, "And then they wiped their dicks on our grandma's graves." What? That metaphor has a *lot* going on.] [Noah: According to the subtitles it was "on our grandma's drapes."] [Callie: Interesting.] [Heath: Wait… okay, that makes more sense.] [Noah: It makes *more* sense, but yeah, if you were just raped anally, I feel like where they did the cleaning up is inconsequential.] [Heath: But they're going to your living grandma's house and fucking up the drapes? That's mean. The grave? Like, who cares—whatever, it's a rock, it's going to rain.] [Eli: Also, I just need to throw out there: we're eight months into this movie, and there have been two separate "fucked in the ass" jokes. I have watched gay pornography with less mention of anal sex at this point.] (29:16)
