Summary

Hell is real, and it's really bad, and it's really important that you repent. That's the thesis of THE BURNING HELL (1974), a crackpot Evangelical oddity from the deep south, brought to you by the dynamic duo of director Ron Ormond and preacher/star Estus W. Pirkle. We discuss what this bizarre handmade movie tells us about American religious conservatism. PLUS: enter Mike Pence and Chris Christie; exit Vanderpump Rules Season 10. From deep in the Michael & Us archives, an episode on an earlier Ormond/Pirkle film, IF FOOTMEN TIRE YOU, WHAT WILL HORSES DO? - https://soundcloud.com/michael-and-us/61-if-footmen-tire-you-what-will-horses-do Join us on Patreon for an extra episode every week -https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus

0:38.7	I think we're basically always on the same page as to whether something could be a good candidate for discussion eventually.
0:45.0	But it's just we don't always agree about like is the vibe right today.
0:48.9	Well, I was just thinking about my own spiritual mentor, Estus W. Perkle.
0:53.6	And what does he say when he's trying to convince someone
0:56.0	of something? He bulldozes. He says, you've got to do this. You've got to do this. And that's what we did
1:03.1	today. Well, since this is one of those absolutely tiresome evangelical movies, I might as well
1:09.8	talk about a few related matters. And by the way,
1:12.6	this is a film about hell. And it's not very good, but actually in a way, it is pretty good
1:18.2	because though its depictions of hell are pretty unconvincing, the experience of actually
1:22.6	watching it. But all right, look, so this is only partly related, but Mike Pence and Chris Christie folks, they launched their campaigns this week.
1:31.6	I don't know how I made this my beat.
