This week, Cara joins us to end Mormon Movie Month not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Oh nooo, it sounds like the musical guest in the movie is Ryan Shupe and the Rubberband... which I actually love 😬

The advertising with Lucinda's comments is the only one I keep remembering at random times and giggling. Just saying about effectiveness and stuff ;)

No not the only one, I've also felt like I'm the only person who liked the optimistic but unsure ending of the book over the movie.

when I watched this on YouTube I felt so bad for the guy with the porn collection. Like at first I assumed it had to be like child porn or something because he starts crying with shame, but then I remembered this is a Mormon movie. I wanted to jump into the movie and tell him he'd done nothing wrong.

I lived in Idaho Falls, ID, from 1991-1996, which was a pretty big Mormon center, and my understanding of a Jack Mormon was that they were pretty much Mormon when it was convenient, though I can’t really imagine when THAT might be. There was a lot of bullshit bending of the rules that only they seemed to care about. As a teenager that wasn’t religious at all that had a good relationship with all the adults in my life and could do anything, none of it made any sense to me.

Terry is also one of the missionaries in God's Army. He looks nothing like he does in those movies anymore

Heh. My husband and I smoked a cigar with Richard Dutcher once. (Not a euphemism, haha.) He’s an interesting guy. He left the church not long before we did. I think there’s an episode of Mormon Stories where he talks about it, if I’m remembering correctly.

*grizzled detective* Yep, that's a bean alright. Gentlemen, we have a kitty.

I haven’t seen it, but is it at least plausible that he slices the banana because they are at least a little phallic and he didn’t want to simulate a BJ? That can’t be it can it? Anyone that repressed surely wouldn’t even make the connection.

Exactly what I thought. I know a few evangelical men who won’t eat bananas or popsicles in public. 🙄

Gerald Lott

But it fits so perfectly in a hand or mouth. As if it was intelligently designed to… 🧐

OK FINE! I'll watch The Mist. Happy?

CarrieBoo

Woooooooooowwwwwwww. That's fucked up, yo.

I can clear up a little about the Jack Mormon label. Born & raised Mormon, believing & practicing until I was 40 years old, and lived for many years in Utah. A Jack Mormon more or less believes in the truth of the Church's claims, but just doesn't follow the rules (especially the no drinking/no smoking/no shopping on Sundays type things). That is distinguishable from the Cafeteria Mormon, a slur for a Mormon who believes in the basic truth claims of the Church (or at least thinks it's generally a good thing to be a part of) and generally follows the behavioral rules, but doesn't buy into the idea of the infallibility of the Church's leaders. For example, they might believe the Church's LGBTQ+ stance is wrong (or even immoral/unethical), or they might believe that it's OK to fuse Eastern religious beliefs into Mormon beliefs, or they might think that women should be able to hold the higher-up church offices and be able to officiate in religious rituals (which in Mormon terms would be said "hold the Priesthood"). An exMo (or Formon) is someone who has left all of that stuff behind and just doesn't believe any of it. They are often called "anti-Mormons" by believing Mormons.

Loved this episode! When I was a Mormon I genuinely thought Brigham City was a really well done movie. Oh, the hindsight. That final scene depicting the sacrament made quite a lot of waves in the Mormon community at the time, because it’s taboo to portray ordinances on film. So the concept of portraying the blessing and passing of the sacrament in its entirety, accurately, was quite scandalous. Another way that scene was triggering to Mormons: you’re not supposed to take the sacrament when you’re not “worthy.” If you confess to your bishop that you’ve sinned (usually it’s something sexual) he’ll tell you “don’t take the sacrament for 6 weeks” as part of your repentance. So for a sitting bishop (even a fictional one) to openly demonstrate “I’m not worthy” to his congregation is pretty profound. And then the rest of the ward realizes “none of us are worthy,” which is supposed to be super moving. Because they need Jesus! This movie as well as God’s Army: States of Grace signal Dutcher’s loss of faith in Mormonism and his conversion to mainstream Christianity. Now he’s an anti-vax psycho, so I guess they can have him.

Am I the only human being who thinks the ending to The Mist sucks? It comes out of nowhere and is so fucking ludicrous, even in a movie filled with monster creatures.
