0:00.0	Hi this is Steve. A few weeks ago we lost the great Carl Reiner, a man whose career
0:06.8	spanned eight decades from the early days of television through feature films and
0:11.0	all the way to Twitter and even Tik-Tok. Now there was no question in our minds
0:15.8	that the film we wanted to review in his honor was oh God, it was a movie I loved as a kid and watched
0:21.6	over and over again. What I didn't expect was how profound,
0:25.2	hopeful, gentle, and kind this movie really is.
0:30.0	Written by the very wise and very witty Larry Gilbert and starring John Denver, Terry Gar, and of course George Burns,
0:36.0	Oh God's simple message seems as powerful today as it was when I first saw it 43 years ago.
0:42.0	So if you haven't seen this wonderful film go on a

0:50.7	John Denver did but to cinnophiles.net, where you can buy or stream, oh God, along with every other movie we've ever reviewed.
0:59.0	And if you happen to be a fan of the Geek Buddies, like I am, you probably heard them discuss so-called cancel
1:05.2	culture on their latest episode.
1:07.8	Well this is a topic I've been thinking a lot about and I was frankly jumping out of my
1:11.9	skin to join the conversation. So this week's short on
1:15.6	Patreon.com slash the cinephiles is the first ever crossover between the Geek
1:21.5	Buddies and the cinephiles to discuss cancel culture.
1:25.0	It really was a great conversation about a very delicate and complicated topic.
1:30.0	So that's a short on cancel culture tomorrow on Patreon and Carl Reiner's Oh God coming this Friday to the Synophiles.
1:39.0	How can you permit all the suffering that goes on in the world?
1:45.0	Ah, how can I permit the suffering that goes on in the world. Ah, how can I permit the suffering? Yeah.
1:46.0	I don't permit the suffering, you do.
