God Awful Movies

Eli Bosnick, Heath Enwright, and Noah Lugeons bring a very specific angle to the bad movie podcast space: they primarily watch religious and faith-based films, then methodically explain why they are terrible. The tagline says it all -- if god existed, his PR team couldn't possibly be this bad. With 500 episodes, a 4.8-star rating, and over 2,500 reviews, this show has carved out a niche nobody else is really occupying. The format is straightforward. Each week, the trio picks a movie -- usually a Christian film with production values that make a high school play look like a Spielberg joint -- and breaks it down with sharp, often ruthless comedy. They occasionally branch out into secular bad movies during themed months, but the faith-based content is the bread and butter. The hosts come from the broader Puzzle in a Thunderstorm podcast network, which also produces The Scathing Atheist and Citation Needed. What keeps listeners coming back is the chemistry between the three. Eli tends toward the theatrical, Heath delivers dry one-liners, and Noah anchors the discussion with a particular talent for identifying the exact moment a film completely falls apart. The show has a Patreon for per-episode support and bonus content. If you have ever been curious about just how bad a movie with a $50,000 budget and a message about salvation can get, this podcast has 500 answers for you.
