A Christian millennial melodrama that is equal parts snarky and depressing, THIS IS OUR TIME is a love letter from director Lisa Arnold to the dreamers who graduated college in 2012 with wide eyes and a twitter account and tried to make a name for themselves. Five friends each leave college with greatly different career prospects; Ethan feels shame about being stuck in a sandwich shop while his high-achieving friends Ryder and Kate land high-powered entry level business careers, and his...

Can a robot become so intelligent that it acquires a human soul, and can we make it sexy? These are questions posed by THE ROBOT THE CREATOR by director Jasmine Deanne Andrews (sulliedbride.com) and co-writer Aaron R Sampson, a truly remarkable DIY Christian film with a huge amount of imagination, delivering an uncompromisingly ambitious story about killer robots and CIA laboratories but filmed on no budget in random people’s houses. The government asks a dream team of robotics scientists to...

What would you do if Christ hugged you in the church bathroom? Eight-year-old Kenneth immediately tells his parents, expecting them to be delighted, only to see them freak out and interrupt the entire church service to try to investigate who exactly is the man who hugged their son in the bathroom. It’s actually a pretty natural reaction, but we’re so used to faith-based films about magical Christ-like children wowing the grownups in their lives with barely any pushback on their stories that...

In director Daniel Lusko’s (JINGLE SMELLS) political thriller PERSECUTED, devout Christians feel threatened by a new law called the “Faith and Fairness Act”. This law attempts to make the religious landscape in America more “fair” in some vague way that we at...

If God doesn’t exist, then how can you tell a good movie from a bad one? We ask ourselves this while attempting to review EYES FRONT, an extremely stylized feature from prolific music video director turned Christian film auteur Darren Doane. We first learned about Doane from his work on KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS, which Doane directs and co-stars in as a man who is missing the true spirit of Christmas. Doane seems to have an ability to pull more “famous” names than we’re usually...

For a wholesome Valentine’s Day message, we turn to the Christian denomination most versed in the art of love: the Jehovah’s Witnesses. We love any opportunity to repeat our hot take that the Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) are the best filmmakers in all of Christianity; their productions are high quality, their actors are poised, and their branding and aesthetics are impeccable. We’ve learned through their films that the JWs absolutely HATE working long hours (because it disrupts their religious...

Baruch atah Adonai, y’all! We’re back exploring the exciting filmography of director Chip Rossetti and his co-director/writer/muse Donald James Parker, aka “Gramps” of GRAMPS GOES TO COLLEGE fame. Both of these men are artists we at Boys’ Bible Study consider powerhouses of the DIY Christian film community. We’re excited to tentatively declare THE UNEXPECTED BAR MITZVAH the best film we’ve seen so far coming from their longtime collaboration, which is remarkable given the strength of GRAMPS...

“In the fourth year all its fruit will be holy, an offering of praise to the Lord.” Leviticus 19:24. It’s four years of Boys’ Bible Study! We’re so grateful for your support through the years, so we’ve once again followed our tradition of marking the occasion with a special clip and roundup show where we review the best of what we covered in the previous year.

We’ve covered the work of Canadian filmmakers Greg and Dallas Lammiman before in our episodes on their films MAYFLOWER II and REMEMBER, but this week we see the brothers’ more wholesome and comedic side, as opposed to the CGI-forward dystopian DIY sci-fi we associate as their signature style. MY GRANDPA...

When a wave of unexplained murders and suicides hits your town, and you begin seeing demented visions of corpses coming to life to torment you, who else would you turn to but a priest? AUTOPSY is a lurid, intense, and captivating thriller about a beautiful young scientist who teams up with a race car driver turned Catholic priest to find the truth behind a series of killings that may not be as random as they first seem. Director Armando Crispino enlists prolific actors Mimsy Farmer, Barry...

The latest in anti-woke cinema is the Christmas comedy JINGLE SMELLS by director Daniel Lusko. This holiday tale of an Iraq war veteran turned garbageman turned “Robin Hood” stars a pantheon of Christian and conservative media personalities including John Schneider (recently in the news for nearly winning The Masked Singer and then vaguely threatening President Joe Biden on social media), the prolific legend Eric Roberts, SNL alumni Victoria Jackson and Jim Breuer, Trump-affiliated lawyer Jay...

Just when we thought Advent was ruined, “Captain Save a Christmas” himself, former child star and current Christian cinema kingpin Kirk Cameron is back with another banger. KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS is just one of a series of docudramas Kirk Cameron helmed in the 2010s. Our favorite is his masterpiece KIRK CAMERON’S CONNECT, a bizarre piece that combines interviews and dramatizations to explore how dangerous the Internet can be to a Christian family. KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS,...

In this Christian courtroom drama, Jesus is found GUILTY… of being resurrected from the dead so that we may have eternal life. Bakersfield, California based auteur Barry Zoeller clearly called upon his skills as a TV news anchor and producer to create this competent and well-paced retelling of Bible times events in the modern day.

Muslim extremists encounter extra-dimensional demons while developing a new strain of bacterial meningitis to use for bioterrorism in this harebrained Christian sci-fi/horror film by auteur Jim Carroll, who rose to viral fame in 2020 for his similarly conceptually ambitious film ASSASSIN 33 A.D., in which Muslim extremists go back in time to kill Jesus before He can be crucified and resurrected. It’s clear that Jim Carroll has Islam on the brain; he portrays Muslim people as not only...
