Summary
This was Episode 14 of the Psych Legal Pop Podcast. In this episode we discuss the Hulu documentary God Forbid about the downfall of Jerry Falwell Jr. after a sex scandal, but this documentary is about so much more than that. Falwell Jr. is the son of the infamous Jerry Falwell Sr., the deceased televangelist pastor and founder of the "Moral Majority." Falwell Sr. spent most of his life trying to influence American politicians to support his anti abortion, anti LGBTQ and anti feminist beliefs. Falwell Jr. worked to continue that legacy on behalf of his father and while he was personally dethroned by a sex scandal, ultimately he brought his father's mission full circle by unwittingly helping to elect Donald Trump.
This documentary has it all - Enjoy!
