God's Not Dead 3: Is God Cancelled? Ft. LegalEagle 

Check out Legal Eagle's video here! ► ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ryEr74V62hA.html

This was tons of fun. Let us never speak of it again.

I know who I am hiring if I ever need a layer... again. Thanks for this.

You know when you have an argument in your head and you go "And then if he says this then I would say that" and you end up being the greatest debater in history because you control both sides of the debate? That's pureflix in a nutshell.

I love the contrast of costume. Legal eagle is in his Sunday best while Michael looks like his rebellious son lol.

As a former evangelical christian who lives in Chicago and follows both of your channels. I have to say I feel like this video was made just for me.

Just got up to the introduction of legal eagle and I think the real reason that you brought him in to watch it with you is so that you don't have to suffer through it alone the third time around.

To chime in as a german - we use both mustard and ketchup on bratwurst sometimes together - and many of us love them french fries with mayonaise and ketchup calles Pommes Schranke (a Schranke is a red-white colored railway barrier) - and that is what the movie is really about.

"vinegary flavours go better with smoked cured meat." One of the main ingredients in ketchup: vinegar. Thanks for confirming ketchup goes well in hotdogs.

So as a hvac tech, the pipe is a temporary fitting used for testing gas pipes to verify there’s no leaking. When you use those fittings you normally use an inert gas, like nitrogen, to test the gas pipes to make sure they aren’t leaking. That being said, it should have been removed after testing was done.

"Jesus was the original social justice warrior" is not an internal critique. Part of the mission of these movies is to arm religious conservatives with rhetoric to use in debates against secular liberals, not to convince their opponents, but to confuse the issues and convince the crowd. They know what they're doing, and it's extremely tactical.

The most disappointing thing about getting a law degree is no lecturer ever setting me up to ask "what's the but-for?"

Funny how the death in this movie is basically an act of God with how unlikely it is

The saddest part of the movie is that Cool Lawyer Bro abandoned his other clients to work this case for months and nothing came of it, literally nothing. Meanwhile his other clients are going, "Hey where's our lawyer?" and his accountant is going, "Dude, did you make any money this month?"

12:30 they tend to compare "legality" with morality a lot. Ignoring the fact that you can have laws that are inmoral and have morals that are ilegal. One does not have to relate to the other.

I think Micheal is the only person on Earth who watched all three movies. including everyone, actors, directors, staff, producers, etc.

I’m a former Evangelical who studied Philosophy and Theology in college. I eventually converted to Eastern Orthodoxy. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you both contrasting this movie with more robust traditions of Christian thought. I remember when I was fully gung-ho on Evangelical apologetics and thought these movies were the bees-knees. Looking back now I have a full body cringe when I recall any scene from these movies.

Oh my God, as a philosophy nerd and a law student this is a crossover I never expected to see! Amazing video!

Right before this video, some guy tried to convince me of the importance of protecting unborn children's lives. RU-vid's ad selecting algorithm never fails to astound me.

Did not expect liberation theology to come up in this video. It's something I learned about, briefly, back in religion courses, because it does tend to resonate with oppressed groups. Of course the influence of marxism makes it extremely unpopular with the religious traditions that have tended to identify with oppressors, instead of the oppressed.

All I remember about this series is the scene where the pastor is in the black pastor’s church and he says like: “Sorry, I don’t think you could understand what it’s like to be persecuted.” And the black pastor just stares at him, looks him in the eye and says, “Brother, who do you think you’re talking to? I’m a black pastor in the Deep South, I could build you a church with the number of bricks been thrown threw my window,” and that’s it.

The crossover I never knew I needed

My two favourite educational RU-vidrs?? Dissecting the film franchise that ruined my Friday nights??? This is gonna be a treat.

The real sacrilegious controversy in this movie is the depiction of a Chicagoan putting ketchup on a hotdog.

It's fantastic seeing you two collaborate!

0:04 Where I live in Illinois, we put ketchup on our hotdogs. One time, I was in high school and we took a trip to Chicago. I think we almost gave this poor hotdog worker a heart attack because all we ordered were either plain or ketchup-only hotdogs. She was a lovely person, but she was absolutely shocked at how few of us ordered Chicago style hotdogs

I have to say something about the hotdog debate. Vinegar is definitely a compliment to a good frank, and if you read to ingredients of the Heinz ketchup that he's using in the movie the second ingredient on the list is distilled vinegar. Therefore by your own argument ketchup belongs on hotdogs.

Damn I love legal eagle and the law talk, rational talk… but hearing this version with Michael’s philosophical takes was such a treat! Thank you so much guys 🙏

I'd like to see him do 2 or 4, which are also about legal battles & have way bigger persecution complexes.

The film series that even Christians don’t like 💀

My assumption on them mentioning "social justice warrior" is to try and coopt the expression. "It now belongs to us, and we will tell you the meaning of the word". The same way he appropriated the word "truth" or even "morality". That's a very common practice and doesn't surprise me at all.

Michael is his Grateful Dead t-shirt and Devon in his suit looking like the backend developer and CEO of a company

REMEMBER TO LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! I know this video was literally just released but I am appalled to see less than 100 likes. So cool to see these two doing a collab :)

"Vinegary flavors go better with smoked cured meats" Tomato ketchup is made from tomatoes, sugar, and VINEGAR, with seasonings and spices.

My two favourite RU-vid channels doing a cross over! I haven’t been this excited since the Flintstones met the Jetsons!!

I always suspected my cool law professors and cool philosophy professors were secretly friends. Now I have empirical proof.

This is the team-up I didn't know I wanted. EXCELLENT video!

Love the crossover! I’m not educated in the legal or philosophy business. You both are my favorite youtubers to follow in those fields.

This was a great crossover! Enjoyed watching both channels' version.

I very much appreciate these videos, because my parents made me watch three of them, including this one, and I saw so many problems with it as a 14 year old(yeah I know, I’m 14 and this is deep ) that I wouldn’t dare point out to my dad because he would’ve shut me down or gotten mad at me lol. Thanks for these videos, it makes me feel much better

Love both your channels!! Awesome collab.

I'm glad these came up back to back. Watching two different perspectives of them being baffled at this movie.

Oh! Two of my favourite creators in one video! Love it!

That pizza scene is so weird given that eating during a serious moment is usually movie short had for "this character is an asshole"

Love this, you guys had a bunch of fun it seems :)

The summary for this movie in the sidebar on youtube includes the line, "Yet even in life's darkest valleys, a small flame can light the way toward healing and hope. A deadly fire rips through St. James Church..." WTF.

12:27-13:27 - I'm so glad y'all brought this up so elegantly. The issue is that some Christians strongly fear (and are regularly taught and preached at) that the law actively being used to silence them. So, the news and the courts always show up as an unrealistically huge big bad. Literally anyone and everyone is against them in these types of movies -- the news, the legal system, the medical community, the education system, even the local community -- anything that sets up a strong US vs THEM dichotomy. Yet, y'all make such a great point right here: There's so many other angles to Christianity that would make good movies and show the brighter sides of what there is the gain from ones belief. Buuuut Nope - we regularly get a bad attempts to copy drama or an action movies based in no sense of reality Sigh. Your commentary is so heartening and refreshing. Thank you for this video! Now I don't have to watch it, lol.

It is weird how these movies kind of assume that if the state isn't explicitly Christian, that it has somehow replaced Christianity, and is some sort of dark mirror of it, rather than just, like, not Christian.

I didn't know I needed this. And now I want more.

Literally two of my favorite channels. This is awesome.

a crossover i never expected for channels i love. great stuff! :)

The gas explosion is about as contrived as the religious people portraying themselves as martyrs.. you have to jump through so many hoops

this is dope. I'm so glad two of my favorite intellectual channels did a crossover

I love this collab! I hope to see more in the future!

Devin looks like he's representing Michael on possession charges

*SMASH* "What was that?" "Sounded like a duck, we should go check it out."

12:30 - 13:00 I feel like there's a multi hour video essay just waiting to be made (or maybe has already) about how conservatives view the legal system as a means of expressing their faith. I also feel like it can be summed up as simply as "Their religion requires all of us live under their rules".

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while, thanks.

I watched a video a while ago that said this movie felt like a parody of the God’s Not Dead Franchise, and it’s so accurate. Especially with how it portrays the atheist characters being so great lol.

Love this collab immediately

two of my favorite youtubers collabing. It is clearly an early Xmas

I have been waiting for this video , so glad you did it 😝

I love this collaboration!

Mike is carrying this channel. Love you man! I love your philosophy break downs.

That was great, seeing LegalEagle on!

Love this collab!!

The duo the world didn't expect, but needed!

Mustard is king ketchup is an blight on sauces

I demand more Wisecrack / Legal Eagle crossovers! Two of my favorite channels.

Adding to the hot dog discussion. In Brazils Central Platou we add tomato sauce, cheese, garlic past and shoestring potatoes

bro... that pastor got final destinationed

Legal Eagle guy (Sorry, I forgot his name) is so cool. You guys did great. Tell him that I agree, ketchup DOES belong on hot dogs!

9:52 "God called me to fight is umm... has historically not worked out well" LOL!

How have I not stubbled upon this video!?!? amazing duo. 👌

getting my MA in philosophy specifically to study Thomism and this movie made part of me die inside, great video!

As a polytheist I really appreciate the talk of the difference between religion and science and how someone can have both science and religion and they don't contradict each other. Also love both of you and this collab was awesome!! As for the hot dog debate, I am a red, white, and blue blood American and I put only ketchup on my hot dogs lol.

Loved seeing both of these pop up in subscriptions!! 12:41 good thing we have philosophy! And CMON Portello's all the way baby

Loving the crossover!

The crossover we didn't know we needed

During that tree toppling scene, I know they are brothers, but they looked like a morning after couple in the movies, where the man wears the bottom and the woman wears the top.

awesome collaboration

Great video! (Legal Eagle fan here) Your reward is having to review God's Not Dead 4 :P.

To the scene where Josh says "Jesus is the original social justice warrior..." Because of what the intent in the film series over all tends to be, my understanding of this scene is to give the target audience a line to push back onto more progressive leaning family members who are confronting them on their believes, especially with regards to social justice. Most of what these films serve to do is reinforce evangelical talking points and provide talking points for people who expect to be constantly confronted about their beliefs. I say this because Josh ends this section saying "but it's Grace and then Justice, not the other way around" This sounds to me like a good Christian should care an awful lot about social justice, when other Christian's are involved, but that a person's status as a Christian is the most important of them. So yes Civil Rights and Racial Justice matter, because these are good Christians who don't deserve it. If the individual facing social discrimination isn't a Christian (or most often, isn't the right kind of Christian) then they deserve it because their actual problem isn't the systemic issues, but the fact they aren't right with God. This is a common talking point regarding queer people, for example, but also get signaled to when racial minorities are facing struggles. I hope this all makes sense, I'm writing quickly while on break at work. Also, I put ketchup and cheese on my hot dog, I have to agree with LegalEagle, ketchup belongs on a hot dog.

I appreciate Michael's thoughts about the "Jesus is the original social justice warrior" moment. There's still a lot of problems with this franchise and this film hasn't gotten over the victim complex, but this internal critique is an interesting feature and an improvement to be commended. It shows some thoughtfulness when they could have gone with pandering and cash grab if they were merely cynical.

I'm here from LegalEagle! Having watched the GND3 video over there, I'm here for the other half!

was so confused until I realized you guys did two edits of the same watch session, one on each channel.

It’d be cool if a collab between you two could be *at least* once a year

Two of my favorite RU-vid channels making fun of this trash series?! YES! Facing a tornado warning in area, this will keep my mind off of it.

Devin is the fucking best! Love that you two cooperated!

Josh: Do you want mustard on your hotdog Helene: it's not gonna put mustard on itself

God called me to fight. Against ketchup on hot dogs. Crusade go brrr.

what is this, a crossover episode?

Ok... First of alll... Two of my RU-vid crushes are getting together to deal with the philosophically and religious shit that 'Merica idealists need to feels validated on the internet. As a behavioral therapist with kids on the autism spectrum and a grad student earning my masters degree in clinical mental health counseling, I am SUPERRRRR enthralled with your content. Hope you guys get to see this in your sea of worshippers lol 😂 but hopefully you see you've made an impact. BOTH of you 💕.... 💋

That guy was killed like a Final Destination character

4:08 I was listening without looking at the screen and I thought that was Tosh.0 haha

After hearing about this video on WiseCrack Live, I finally have closure

Love seeing LeagleEagle listening to philosophy being explained how I look listening to him explain law

Collab of the century!!! 🎉

Two of my favourite channels in the same video? What is this? A crossover episode?!

I really like you two working together.
