535: A Law for Christmas

Author: Puzzle in a Thunderstorm, LLC December 9, 2025 Duration: 1:59:29
This week, Marsh joins us for an atheist review of A Law for Christmas; the story of a whole production's worth of people never bothering to look up what the Secretary of Agriculture is.

Ever find yourself scrolling through a streaming service, pausing on a movie so bafflingly bad it becomes magnetic? That’s the exact territory explored by God Awful Movies. Created by the team at Puzzle in a Thunderstorm, LLC, this podcast is a weekly expedition into the deepest, darkest corners of cinematic failure, where the plots are nonsensical, the acting is bewildering, and the special effects are anything but special. Each episode is a comedic autopsy of a truly terrible film, often pulled from the realms of low-budget horror, misguided faith-based projects, or straight-to-video curiosities that defy all logical filmmaking norms. The hosts don’t just mock the movies; they revel in their unique awfulness, dissecting the bizarre choices and unexpected moments that make these films unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Tuning in feels like hanging out with friends who have just subjected themselves to a cinematic car crash so you don’t have to, complete with running jokes, sharp commentary, and a genuine appreciation for the sheer effort it takes to make something this gloriously bad. It’s a perfect blend of TV and film criticism filtered through a lens of relentless comedy and leisure-time snark, making it an essential listen for anyone who believes that sometimes, the best entertainment comes from art that completely misses the mark. You’ll come away from this podcast with a new list of movies to avoid and a lot of laughs from the journey.
