Died Suddenly (GAM382)

Noah Lugeons

Eli Bosnick

***Died Suddenly*** is the hour-long Twitter documentary/expose of just how little understanding of anatomy the average funeral home worker has. This whole thing was basically *Six Feet Blunder*.

### **Opening Phrase**

Where each week we sample another selection from Christian cinema, because laughter is the best medicine, and I hear Americans pay out the *ass* for medicine.

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

Well, if you loved the dangerous misinformation of *Vaxxed*, *Vaxxed 2*, and *Plandemic*, but they lacked the balls to call out the *fallen angel* behind Big Pharma, you will *love* this movie.

### **Best Worst**

* Marsh: …credentials. [Embalmers?]
* Noah: …money shot. [Not pleasant.]
* Eli: …funny montage that wasn't supposed to be funny. [Funny to Eli.]

### **Notes**

* Check out Marsh on Twitter, *Be Reasonable*, *Skeptics with a K*, *The Skeptic* (UK), and at The Good Thinking Society, or (thanks to Eli) Skeptic of the Year and MarshStoleHisVaccineFromAnOldLady.com.
* McGill University's Office for Science and Society has an article on this documentary-style film (released on *Rumble* on 21 November 2022), "The Anti-Vaccine Documentary *Died Suddenly* Wants You to Feel, Not Think", which points out "What *Died Suddenly* does is akin to grave-robbing. It raids online obituaries, with complete disregard for consent or basic journalistic integrity, and stitches a pseudoscientific horror story with the faces of the deceased."

### **Jokes**

* [Noah: But this is where Steve Kirsch explains that he sent hundreds of unsolicited emails to people at the CDC, and not a single one of them wanted to see the research that he'd done himself on the internet.] [Eli: It's the best! It's great because Stew Peters accidentally clarifies. He's like, "Wow, they actually said, like, 'I don't want to see that research?'," and he's like, "Oh no, they just ignored me because I'm a crazy person." And he was like, "Oh. We should leave this out of our documentary."] [Marsh: "Yeah, because they have—the CDC has—a very specific spam filter that is set up just for me. It's got this normal one, and then it's got the Steve Kirsch spam filter."]
* Written, produced, directed, filmed, and edited by Matthew Miller Skow and Nicholas Stumphauzer.
