“Yet if this violence can become palpable and indignation fully aroused only through this masochistic fantasy, then it becomes clear that empathy is double-edged, for in making the other's suffering one's own, this suffering is occluded by the other's obliteration.”
from Scenes of Subjection by Saidiya Hartman

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (dir. Adamma Ebo).
Regina Hall and Sterling K. Brown ham it up as the self-delusional first lady and pastor of a Southern Baptist megachurch in a satirical mockumentary about the corruption of contemporary organized American Christianity. It follows the couple’s attempt at rebuilding their reputation and congregation after a perilous scandal. Ebo pulls no punches in the film’s naturalistic yet biting commentary about the easy access to wealth those who supposedly preach the word of God (as they see it) have. There’s a fun construction to the earnest comedy in the form of character studies about the hypocrisy and influence of religious power.

Unfortunately for humanity, they’d actually rather kick it than kick butt & save the world.

I am super excited to welcome them to our 20th  Television Animation Family.

And as creators with a non-stop running list of ideas, we’re super hyped to have studio partners who are just as committed to adding and challenging the television cultural zeitgeist in both animation and live-action.”

Film after film: Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul (dir. Adamma Ebo, 2022)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This moderately funny satire is led by two greatly skilled actors, at the peak of their careers, having fun with the subject matter, while displaying some unfortunate smugness all along. Plot-wise, nothing that happens here is surprising, not that it has to be, though this would make of predictable plot points, along which it smoothly moves towards the end.

Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. (2022, dir. Adamma Ebo) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul. is a biting satire of southern megachurches and, in some ways, organized religion in general. It was also better and not as straight of a comedy as I was anticipating it to be. Adamma Ebo (and her twin sister Adanne, who produced the movie) have crafted a hilariously unflattering landscape in which these kinds of churches thrive, and one that's potentially (frighteningly) not too far from the truth. Sterling K. Brown's Pastor Lee-Curtis Childs changes so flippantly and without abandon between bombastic facade and genuine that after the halfway point of the film it starts getting harder and harder to tell when he's being one or the other. In the few moments that (I think) him and Regina Hall's Trinitie Childs are being truly genuine, you almost start to have the slightest, maybe, little bit of sympathy for them until you very quickly remember just how amoral and narcissistic both of them are, and how their motivations have nothing to do with spiritualism or, as Lee-Curtis puts it at one point in the film, "saving souls," but their own need to be in the spotlight and live their lifestyle. That saving souls line is a particularly potent piece of imagery, as immediately after he says it an ambulance speeds by on the road next to them.
I'm not a religious person, and even back when I was I never bought into megachurches or TV churches as a concept or something that had justification for its existence, so that might be why I feel this way, but while I do think the script is great and the directing of the film is superb, I don't particularly feel like it's saying anything too profound or necessarily thought-provoking. Megachurches = bad, organized religion = pretty dang bad. This isn't really news to anyone that isn't going to vibe with what this movie is trying to say already. Now, that's not to say I don't think this movie should exist, or that it needed to try harder or go at it any differently than it did, just that, as someone who was already on board the anti-megachurch train, nothing that happened here blew my mind. It was a really funny, very accurate and at-times unnerving film about the nature of these kinds of people who run this kind of business, and believe me, it absolutely is a business.
The true highlights of this film are its two co-leads in Hall and Brown. They each command the screen both when they're supposed to and even when they're not supposed to. While nothing in the commentary blew me away, there was a particular monologue given by Brown in the second half of the film that is truly mind-blowing and showcases just what he is capable of as an actor. Hall also turns in a gut-bustingly hilarious performance herself, as well as her own, almost as equally impressive monologue. This one wasn't what I thought it would be going in, and I'm glad I made the decision to trek out to the theater to watch it.
Score: 7/10

And when did you have to stop?  Running back to the bible about Daddy?  When I buried him, baby.
