Episode 24: Dribble the Ball, Kirk

4

Details, credits, errata: This week we have a crossover episode for Christmas, starring our friends at the Good Christian Fun podcast, Kevin T. Porter and Caroline Ely! Please listen to their pod, subscribe, buy their merch, and wish them a merry Christmas.

Our film is the amazingly bad yuletide confection Kirk Cameron’s Saving Christmas, starring Kirk Cameron as himself and director Darren Doane as Christian White, the white christian. It is a holiday miracle of bad editing, bad sound design, bad lighting, and inscrutable shot choices. Kevin describes it, incredibly, as “part Pureflix, part Koyaanisqatsi,” which Sam thinks may be the best single joke anyone has ever made on our podcast.

A couple of things we mention on the pod that you might enjoy watching are Dinesh D’Souza’s fliptree video:

And the dance scene from the film, which is the only watchable thing in the entire movie:

Our theme song is Louis Armstrong and His Hot 5’s Muskrat Ramble, made freely available by the Boston Public Library and audio engineering shop George Blood, LP through the Internet Archive.
