Making Fun of Christian Movies and All That Child Trauma with Luke Barnett

This one is for the evangelical kids who were forced to watch that "horror" film A Thief in the Night - you know, that movie about going to hell which was also a part of our church summer camp curriculum. Kristina sits down with Luke Barnett, a writer, actor, and producer of the satire film Faith Based. Kristina and Luke dive into his inspiration behind the film, what it was like growing up in a super conservative small high school and then moving to Los Angeles and attending Mosaic Church. Not in that world anymore for over 10 years, Luke shares the fun behind making a hilarious satirical film on the Christian movie industry, something long seen as part of the Evangelical Industrial Complex. Writers, actors, and aspiring producers - this one's for you.Follow Kristina Hart on Instagram: instagram.com/edgykristinahartFollow That's Super Weird Podcast on Instagram: instagram.com/superweirdpodFollow Kristina Hart on Twitter: twitter.com/edgykristinaLuke Barnett is a writer, actor, and producer best known for Faith Based, the satire of the Christian film industry he wrote and starred in opposite Jason Alexander, Lance Reddick, Margaret Cho, and Tanner Thomason. Faith Based was critically acclaimed, quickly reaching 94% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes and garnering a cult following.
