Some curse words in the trailer, so if you choose to watch the trailer, keep that in mind.

From executive producer Adam McKay, the director of "The Big Short" and "Don't Look Up", and Billy Corben, director of "Cocaine Cowboys"

I'm anti jerry as anyone here but this looks a tad over sensationalized. The southern Gatsbys? Oooookkkkkay and who are these interviewees? Tom Arnold? Other people who have nothing to do with this?

I'm willing to bet that this documentary will be more focused on his relationship with Trump, as opposed to anything else.

I think it’ll definitely be over sensationalized like LUconn said and I’m not expecting an unbiased take either but I’m still really curious about it.

If they are pushing the angle that Falwell’s endorsement of Trump was because of Michael Cohen blackmail and they have receipts, that would be a very interesting wrinkle in American history. I doubt they do, and it’s my understanding that Cohen’s involvement with the Falwells came after the endorsement.

It seems to me that it’s focused on sex scandal stuff, which I understand is what will play well to a broad audience, but it’s the least interesting part for me. I’ll probably watch out of morbid attachment to the story.

Also, Tom Arnold has weirdly inserted himself in this stuff, culminating in him hitting on Beth Moore on Twitter.

I think Arnold is involved because he has a recorded conversation between himself and Cohen talking about this before it broke.

My bet is that both people who watch this, won't be impressed. I am far from a Jr. fan, but I just don't understand where an audience would be interested. We have kinda been through the same type of things with the guy in Louisiana and PTL.

Pool boys career is over and needs some $. So they go to the well once more. What horrendous judgment for falwells to ever get involved. Unreal.

I think everything has already come out, and I'm not interested in seeing a summarized documentary. At this point, all I care to do is pray that Jr and Becky get the help they need.

This is the most embarrassing thing for this school that has ever happened. It's like 2 hours dedicated to making the school look foolish. And it's not even really as over the top as I predicted it would be.

I’m not sure I’ll watch, but I did hear there’s a video of Becky doing a striptease for pool boy with Jerry cheering her on. Which confirms Jerry has been and is still lying about the whole thing. Not that we didn’t know that, but it’s further cemented his lack of character and repentance.

We have read the stories about the pool boy, the personal trainer, and the band member, but the burning question is how many more people were victimized by the Falwells? Exactly how big is this scandal? It would be foolish to believe they limited their predatory behavior to just these three individuals.

It would be interesting to see how deep this goes and to what lengths those within the LU ecosystem are going to protect the brand from both the sex scandal and the financial mismanagement scandal (which has received far less attention). I bet Prevo and the ExCom pray daily that an agency with subpoena power does not jump into this mess and start asking the hard questions.

Personally, I don't believe a word on either side of this deal. I am glad Jr. is gone. The best thing is to move on with good leadership (not Prevo) and press forward with dignity and integrity. Learn from the past, but don't dwell on it.

The Demise of Jerry Falwell Jr. Makes for Great Media Fodder

https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/20 ... odder.html

Falwell’s behavior was shameful, and much of that corruption is coming to light through the projects named above. But what about the system that he led? What about the leaders at Liberty who failed to hold him accountable? What other damaging consequences need exposure and correction?

To this point, Liberty has avoided a reckoning. Instead, it has promised investigations that two years on seem little more than appeasement and impression management. As more Falwell and Liberty coverage mounts, we have a responsibility to no longer accept those fig leaves.

What is pseudo christian? That's an interesting term. Based on that clip quoted I'm assuming that means something along the line of "obvious and factual".

Although I'm not "in the know"....it seems this might be somewhat accurate.

It should be illegal for these bitter and disgruntled employees to criticize the LU leadership. The current LU executive team is the most impressive collection of godly men since the 12 disciples.

I cannot tell if you're a parody account or really believe some of the things you say. As someone who was near a lot of this, I'm gonna say parody.
