***Holyman Undercover*** is the story of how crazy the Amish people are written by evangelical Christian people. So, it's basically ninety minutes of, like, a guy in a cancer ward laughing at the guy next to him, like, "You can't cure it by drinking maple syrup, idiot. What? Oh, this? I'm shooting bleach up my ass with a power washer, you fucking yokel. Read a book."

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because these movies are now officially less terrible than reality.

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

Well, if you hate minorities and poor people, and you love David A.R White in *silly* outfits, you will *love* this movie. This movie is like a wacky comedy written by the KKK. That's essentially what it is; like, you get to find out what David A.R. White thinks is funny, and it is *terrifying*. If there had been a comedy lynching in the middle of this movie, I wouldn't have paused it—I'd have been like, "Yeah, sure. I can see why David A.R. White thinks that's funny."

### **Best Worst**

* Heath: …bad actor incapable of acting any better or worse than he actually is as an actor. [Can't even pretend to be a worse actor.]
* Eli: …attempt at creating a catchphrase. [Gretchen, stop trying to make "holyman undercover" happen!]
* Eli: …woman doing what she think non-Christian women do. [Unchaste women are… cats?]
* Noah: …Christian movie. [A time-traveller presumably stole a GAM bingo car.]

### **Notes**

* The script, initially by Tim Timothy Ratajczak and Sean Paul Murphy, was based on David A.R. White's one man show of the same name written by Davey and Jill Gatsby, allowing him to be described as writing, directing, and starring in the film in 2008. The film premiered at the inaugural Feel Good Film Festival in August 2008, but doesn't seem to have been released on DVD until 2010.
* This episode was recorded on 9 November 2016, the day after election day, so this was actually the high point of the week.

### **Jokes**

* [Noah: In Donald Trump's world I feel like we can do that. I feel like there will be a law that says we can do that.] [Thomas: There's no question that we are *months* away from trial by combat being totally legal. And a struggling, sweaty, out of breath Andrew explains to Thomas how they got away with it on *Opening Arguments*: "Well, I'm glad you asked. Um, well—okay, how do I? Ho-boy! Wow! You ever make a peanut butter sandwich out of your own poop? Cause I did, this weekend, Thomas."] **-Patreon Intro**
* [Noah: Exactly.] [Heath: And by the way. I'm looking at Annie Logan White's face here. and it's just a—if I had to describe it in one word I'd call it "sharp." It's jagged. It actually explains David A.R. White's face. I feel like he's been eroded *down* by years of jagged face contact, and now he's got that shape? Yeah.] [Eli: Like those monks that make that super smooth stone but his face.] [Noah: Yeah, he's—yeah, exactly.] **-Standard Intro**
