Episode 127 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Prestige Month continues on Not A Bomb and this week the gentlemen tackle a little seen biopic from 2021 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Audiences were not rushing to the theaters when this film was released, unless it was a Marvel property, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye came and went just like donations to the PTL Club. This episode goes from one extreme to the next, much like the film! Brad and Troy discuss the history of Jim and Tammy Bakker, the dangers of heavy petting at a Christian college, what makes a “Christian” movie…well…”Christian,” and Jessica Chastain’s academy award winning performance. Oh and lots of inappropriate hand stuff. You might want to listen to this episode with headphones if you’re at work!
