I know it’s a me thing. And also, after the election, Eli jokes and shit hit different. I’m sure it’ll calm down over time but blegh

Spunds about right

When my mother was teaching she had a kid who was removed and then given back to the parents five times over the course of one school year.

If a kid covered in bruises eating his own shit in School was approached by psychologists, they would absolutely walk away and let him go home if he were in Canada

And I fully expect people to now assume a lot about me

As someone who has dealt with CPS on multiple occasions, across multiple generations....fuck i can see CPS as a villain.
Taylor
This is OT, but fellas, there's apparently a Christian movie about an OPRHAN VIKING MMA FIGHTER BECOMING JESUS'S CARPENTER APPRENTICE called The Carpenter. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21387696/

Eli was correct, i was dying at that lol

Game rec for you: Tactical Breach Wizards. More of a puzzle game than it looks, and very fun.

Stuck in my head for 2 days lol

I cracked up so hard that i made it a graphic. Couldn't get it out of my head for 2 days
Zach Van Stanley
Made me think of Three Slaps episode of Atlanta
Talyn
Yikes!

Between the bronzer and that cringe inducing line from possessed grandma, all I can hear now is (in the voice of Tom Servo), “Glenn Close is Donald Trump as Don Imus!”
Denise Huston
Toxic masculinity and late stage capitalism.
Luke the Spook
Child Bird-tective services 🤣🤣🤣
Christiaan Spapé
I loved child-bird-action service best. Sorry.
Stacy
Can’t believe a Glenn Close/Omar Epps relationship was waisted on this movie. That’s one of those relationships where both parties are lucky motherfuckers.
James Pipkin
The original Astro Bot is a full game, too, FYI.
Markus Nävergård
random question. anyone else having problem with patreon not loading uploads? all i get is the loading icon swirling endlessly

I never thought of turning my childhood stories into a horror movie. When my mom chased my sister around the kitchen table with a butcher knife... Who knew?
Talyn
Umm, so I have a question about the US commercials in general, I set my VPN to New York and all I get are election ads (mostly for republicans), prescription drug ads and an ad for a hoodie that is, and I quote: only for real men. So my question is, what the fuck is going on in the US?!

Hard agree on Noah’s thoughts on the DualSense controller. It’s the most comfortable controller I’ve ever owned.

Oh god, oh fuck! This was an impossibly irresponsible movie to make! What the fuck, Netflix and relevant filmmakers?
Kiwi Satan
Fuck. That's more horrifying than anything.
Felladin
But I was promised a website! Curse Eli for lying.
Kevin McGonigle
Love the podcast and cracked up multiple times. But one point of contention. The line about if it a thing of whites people calling CHILD services on black people. Historically in this country CPS Has been used to take children away from minorities over minor instances or true accidents.

Actually very surprised the Election Day review isn't Hillbilly Elegy, but Dinesh is definitely also appropriate.
Dawn Wilson
Oh, guys...the child Andre is based on died 3 years ago, at age 17. His obituary doesn't mention what his cause of death was, just that he died in his house, "in his mother's arms".
Laura Lusby
Oh gods this sounds like it could be about me. Three girls, a horrible mom, demons…yep. My family.
Taylor
Holy shit, this is a horror movie by *Lee Daniels*? This guy directed Precious.
Denise Huston
I mean...he fucked Glenn Close.
Golden
Wait, so Omar Epps was in this movie and then he didn’t even do anything?
CarrieBoo
Maybe after the Zak Bagans thing, Indiana's just done with the whole thing. Noping on out for good.
Harper Court
As a Hoosier, I was oddly offended that the movie changed the location. We aren't good enough to have abusive parents trying to get out of trouble with CPS by claiming demon hauntings??
CarrieBoo
I lost it too. Then I lost it more when I saw what it was based on. Omfg....
CarrieBoo
OMFuckingG....so after seeing some comments in the Facebook group I decided to watch this movie before listening to the review. This GODAWFUL cringefest is based on some wild story out of Gary, IN. The Ghost Adventures grifter bought the house and made a "documentary" in it before it was demolished. Even that was better than this nightmare....
Drunkarius
Spoiler warning, I suppose. I saw this on Netflix and almost recommended it. I wish I had. I goddamned lost it when she started speaking in tongues during the exorcism scene. She does about as good a job as Heath does. Easily the most terrifying parts of this movie are the ending placards that say she got her kids back and that this was “based on a true story.”

“Child Birdective Services” is the kind of quality humor I signed up for, thanks, Eli.
Andrew Boesen
Marsh: "I have a new theory that she's paying for all that Chemo by illegally subletting the basement to those flies. They're all paying rent." The echoing and vacuous absence of Heath in this episode: "Landlord of the Flies."
Bunnywithaswitchblade
Omg, we got to see this before release and we TOLD them it was shite!!!
Denise Huston
"Nobody’s allowed to hit my child except me." My mom LITERALLY said that, growing up.
Roger
Yes! Yes! I heard this movie referenced on another podcast this morning and thought it would be a great movie for GAM. So excited to hear this episode.
