“Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you. Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten. Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure! Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.” (James 5:1-6 NASB1995)

Hello,
This is an unprompted, unsolicited letter to everyone who participated in the review portions of the Y5 and Y7 game years. And I'm tagging those who may have read my Y6, Y8, and Y9 stories too. There's been a lot on my mind, and I want to talk about my Christian beliefs, and I'm not quitting the game or anything so don't panic, but there's some things I want to apologize for, and there's some things I want to make up for if I can. I acknowledge that some of you do not believe in God or in Jesus, and I don't know how you'll respond to this message, but I think it's a message that I need to share not just for you, but also for me.
I'm closer to God today than I was when I started playing CAYOM. Back then, I believed that I could write whatever I wanted and it would all be okay because I accepted Jesus, but the idea that I can abuse God's grace like that is actually an un-Christian idea. I allowed myself to put worldly messages in some stories, perhaps because I expressly tried to imagine secular films rather than faith-based films. The realization of "I'm writing a certain kind of film, for a certain kind of audience" made my privy, or hyper-aware, of the sheer amount of power that a storyteller wields, but I've felt like a coward because I've lacked the courage to say, "no, my stories shouldn't offer the feel-good lies," or "no, my stories shouldn't shy away from sharing the hard truths."
My most egregious wrongs, when it comes to allowing my stories to contain un-Christian messages, would be in cases where the film was marketed as "faith-based" or as "faith-inspired," but the film in fact had a distinctly un-Christian message. I'm going to share three examples today. I must disavow Of Pagans and Paupers from Y5 because it had a message of "oh we can just let the pagans do what the pagans do," when in actuality, Jesus wants Christians to do the great commission of spreading the gospel no matter what persecution they might face. Then I must disavow Carver from Y7 because it preached a message of how people who live a normal life of attaining personal accolades can go to Heaven (or something like that) when the Christian life is actually far from a normal one. I don't know if George Washington Carver is in Heaven or not, but he wouldn't be in Heaven because of his own good works, but only through repentance and Jesus' salvation. Then when I wrote The Gnashing in Y8, I do believe that it was tinged to an extent by my then-lukewarm Christianity, and I don't know exactly what to apologize or make up for from that, and maybe I don't need to because it's a campy horror film that acknowledges Hell as a bad place to be in, but I feel better having shared my concerns about it.
Again, these would be my worst examples because they attach un-Christian messages to a Christian-flavored package. If I'm a Christian writer who wants a certain story to exemplify my beliefs, then it has to be hard-truth-Christian, full stop, even if you do not agree. Because in Matthew 18:6, Jesus says, "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." And I feel like there's a real danger where one of my stories tells you something un-Christian, and you take the un-Christian thing and run with it, and then I'm in trouble with God because I've led you into sin through one of my stories. I must treat my own Christian storytelling like the battle that it is, so that I do not lead any of you astray. Because for years, I've had this worry that I'm leading other people into sin, and I don't want to do that, because I believe in the consequences of that, and I must believe in the power of a story, and I must allow my beliefs to motivate me into wielding that power responsibly.
Certain events in my life, combined with my faith (because sometimes things happen where God doesn't tell you outright that it's Him, but He's expecting you to operate in faith)—the events and the faith have given me confidence to know with 100% certainty that God is real. That's a huge claim. It's a claim that means everything. But I'll type it again: God is real. So whatever I write, I need to write with the certainty of God being real. Would it not make sense for someone of the faith to do this? If He is real, and I'm asked to put things to death and I'm asked to follow, then I must follow. What this means for me is that I shouldn't try to pretend to be the 'cool writer' just to momentarily appease my readers. Rather, I should do my best to tell the best screen stories I can, and entertain you along the way, but also do it in a way where the reader says to themselves, "this author's clearly a believer," even if it leads to underwhelming review scores or less success in box office or awards.
I should give myself grace because I've also said "I'm sorry" to God (whilst meaning it), and I'm human and I'm prone to making mistakes, and I'll get better at being accurately Christian as I continue writing, and as I continue my walk with God (for the first time in my life (or at least in a long time), I can tell people I'm walking with God and personally believe that I'm actually doing that).
I'm stirred to say this because I've gotten to know you over the years, and I like you guys, and I genuinely care about your eternal destinies. I won't shove something you've decided you don't want down your throat, but I would personally be very sad to find out that I was responsible for leading any of you into sin, and that sin going on to lead you further from God and into the flames of Hell. That would be a great tragedy. I deserve death for all my sins, but I especially deserve death if I lead a little one into sin, just like Jesus said. Therefore, I realize that I've been cowardly and shrinking back in fear of some of your beliefs and wills and attitudes—but I am not called to fear any of you; rather, I am called to fear the Lord My God, who has the mighty power to burn against disobedient people as a raging fire. So I desire from now on to do God's will out of reverent fear of God.
Anyways, my private messages are always open if you ever want to talk more about God and biblical faith, or if you want to hear my testimony on why I've come to believe with 100% certainty that God is real, and that Jesus is Lord, and that the ordinances deserve to be observed, can I get an Amen. If you've read this far, thank you for putting up with me. I've prayed for you guys before and I'll likely be stirred to pray for you again, and if you want me to pray for something specific, hit me up.
Thanks ✌️

TRIBAL COUNCIL #13
Everyone takes a seat.
SLAM!: Welcome to tribal council, where one of you will be exiting the game in fifth place.
Rorschach: Enjoy your last tribal while you can, Fancyarcher...
Fancyarcher: Oh, I'll enjoy it.
Asyulus: Meep meep meow.
Goldenhour36: Meep meep what now?
The Dark Alfred: Looks like the effects of the super bell and penguin suit haven't worn off yet, man.
SLAM!: Okay, thanks for padding out the tribal council's runtime, but now it's time to vote!
Everyone votes.
SLAM!: If anyone has any items or advantages and would like to play them, now would be the time to do so.
Rorschach: (glares at Fancyarcher)
Fancyarcher: (glares at Rorschach)
The Dark Alfred: ...
Item Play #1
SpoilerThe Dark Alfred: Here you go.
The Dark Alfred plays
ONE RED MUSHROOM
on Goldenhour36
Goldenhour36: Thanks.
Item Play #2
SpoilerRorschach: There's more where that came from!
Rorschach plays
TWO RED MUSHROOMS
on Goldenhour36
Goldenhour36: Thanks.
Confessional - Goldenhour36: I only have two coins and couldn't buy anything even if I wanted to, so it's nice to have my friends helping me out!
Item Play #3
Spoiler
Rorschach Splits A Double Cherry—
ONE VOTE ASYULUS,
ONE VOTE FANCYARCHER
Rorschach: One of you is going home this week. And you can take that to the bank!
(Asyulus and Fancyarcher split a double-GULP!)
Item Play #4
Spoiler
The Dark Alfred: These are Fire Flowers. I earned the first one through the Week Five special item event, and I earned the second one through the Yoshi Egg event. The Fire Flower allows me to burn away another player's vote. Asyulus and Fancyarcher, I'm very sorry, but for my game, I must burn away both of your votes.
SLAM!: It's official! Neither Asylum's vote nor Fancyarcher's vote will count this time. Their votes won't even be read, and you will be finding out who they voted for after the finale!
Asyulus and Fancyarcher shudder.
Item Play #5
SpoilerFancyarcher: Shoot. They're really ganging up on us.
Asyulus: What should we do? You have a lot of coins, right?
Fancyarcher: Let's split it.
Asyulus: No! I have a feeling you'll need all the mushrooms you can get?
Fancyarcher: Well... If you insist.
Fancyarcher plays
ELEVEN RED MUSHROOMS
On Himself
Item Play #6
Spoiler
THE BOWSER BOMB
Rorschach: It's time for an explosion.
Rorschach predicts.
Rorschach: My total score is 81%.
SLAM!: That means any player caught in the 20% range of 71%—91% will be caught in the Bowser Bomb's blast.
The Bowser Bomb explodes.
No one's in the range, so nothing happens.
Item Play #7
Spoiler
Fancyarcher: Don't worry, Asyulus. I got you.
Asyulus: Wow, thanks!
Fancyarcher plays an
INVINCIBILITY STAR
On Asyulus
SLAM!: We're bringing out @Jack Sparrow to help explain why Fancyarcher has an invincibility star.
Jack Sparrow enters the arena.
Jack Sparrow: Ahoy, mateys! When I was eliminated, I came across a sign that I had to read.
Flashback of Jack Sparrow reading the note.
Jack Sparrow: "In observance of the secret superstar giveaway twist, please select one player to give your invincibility star." Well, I'll give it to Fancyarcher! 🤪
Dark Alfred: Why Fancyarcher, bruh?
Jack Sparrow: We had a nice bonding experience while driving the Pipe Frame karts!
Fancyarcher, Asyulus, and Jack Sparrow all fist-bump.
Item Play #8
SpoilerI mean, this would've been a space for Item Play #8 if Goldenhour36 played his idol but, uh, he didn't play it...
SLAM!: All right, here's who won immunity:
SpoilerFancyarcher with a modified 130.68%!
Fancyarcher:
SLAM!: Here is the immunity result's aftermath...
SpoilerAsyulus has immunity.
The Dark Alfred has immunity.
Fancyarcher has immunity.
Rorschach has immunity.
Goldenhour36 is the only one without,
so he is eliminated by default.
SLAM!: Please grab your torch.
Goldenhour36 presents the torch.
SLAM!: Goldenhour36? I think it's more appropriate tonight to say, "the game has spoken."
SLAM! snuffs the torch.
Goldenhour36: Somebody please, for goodness sake, beat Fancyarcher! All right?
Goldenhour36 exits.
Confessional - Goldenhour36: Getting eliminated by default after forgetting to play the invincibility star Mamar gave me is a tough way to go, but hey, fifth place is pretty snazzy! And it's pretty cool that I got fifth place both times I played!
SLAM!: Congratulations to Asyulus, The Dark Alfred, Fancyarcher, and Rorschach for making it to the final four of what has proved to be a riveting season of BOT Survivor. From this point on, Wario's Warehouse will be closed, and you will not be allowed to buy or use any items. The final four weekend challenge, final four tribal council, and the final three finale weekend challenge will be the ultimate tests of prediction prowess to determine who this season's Survivor Champion will be! Production wishes all of you good luck in these last few rounds!

Luigi: Heyo! Daisy's trapped in a painting in the mansion, but I'm too scared to go after her myself. Whoever gets the painting wins immunity, but be careful! The ghosts inside will use your greatest fears against you!
Rorschach: Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Everyone enters the mansion and trails off on their own. We cut to The Dark Alfred first as he enters a room full of spiderwebs!
The Dark Alfred: C'mon, Luigi. This is the opposite of groovy, dude.
The caterpillar on the cover of Super Mario Bros. Wonder suddenly appears.
Caterpillar: Ha ha! That's a nice ear you got there! It'd be a shame if I crawled into it!
The Dark Alfred: Please don't.
The Caterpillar crawls into Dark Alfred ear and starts eating his brain.
Caterpillar: Mmm, this is a tasty brain!
The Dark Alfred: Shoooot, uhhhhhh...
Spoiler
The Dark Alfred: I better use this item I got from Misstar, the Heart of Friendship, to bind my score with Rorschach's score. This item matches my score with another player's score, even after mushrooms are used. And I send Rorschach three red mushrooms, too...
****
Goldenhour36 goes to the garage.
Goldenhour36: I don't know why a painting would be in a garage...
Driver's Ed Ghost: Get in the car, it's time to drive!\
Goldenhour36: Huh?!
The ghost forces Goldenhour36 into the driver's seat.
Driver's Ed Ghost: Let's go for a ride!
Goldenhour36: But... Oh gah... Where's the pedals... I don't know what I'm doing!
Driver's Ed Ghost: Drive, drive, drive!
Goldenhour36 unconfidently drives around the mansion.
****
Asyulus enters the basement, and he sees a lever is on the ceiling.
Asyulus: How will I get to that lever? I better use this:
Spoiler
Asyulus: I got this Super Bell from the Yoshi Egg! It allows me to transform into a cat, and then swipe any films I don't want to predict! This week, I'm swiping away Joy Ride, Sound of Freedom, and Super Mario.
Asyulus uses the Super Bell and becomes a cat.
Asyulus: My craving for milk has increased exponentially.
Asyulus climbs on the dressers and other furniture to reach the lever. He pulls the lever, and a secret door opens. He sees the red slide from Super Mario 64!
Asyulus: Aw man, I can't slide really well as a cat! But what if I use this...
Spoiler
Asyulus: I got this Penguin Suit from Kalmar, and it allows me to slide my total score upward to the nearest whole percentage. This could give my score the final push it needs!
Asyulus puts on the penguin suit and transforms into a cat penguin monstrosity.
Asyulus: Meep meep meow.
He slides down the slide...
****
Fancyarcher climbs the roof using a ladder.
Fancyarcher: I don't know why a painting would be on the roof, but I guess it was worth it to check... It's time to go down now...
Seven poison mushrooms rain down on the ladder, knocking it down from the roof and trapping Fancyarcher there.
Fancyarcher: Well, shit.
He breaks into a cold sweat.
Confessional - Fancyarcher: C'mon, Asyulus... It's up to you this time...
****
Rorschach enters the kitchen and is enticed when the refrigerator magically opens on its own.
Rorschach: Ooh, pizza...
He reaches in for pizza, but the refrigerator snatches him and traps him inside.
Rorschach: Shoot... I can't do tight spaces!
He looks down on the pizza and sees Six Red Mushrooms on it.
Rorschach: Oh, this pizza looks familiar now that I think about it...
Flashback to before, and during, the challenge.
Rorschach: Okay, so you're sending me three red mushrooms, right?
The Dark Alfred: Yeah. And you want to send yourself three red mushrooms, too?
Rorschach: Yeah. What if it ordered a pizza and had them put our mushrooms on the pizza?
The Dark Alfred: Yeah, and then they could bring it to the mansion and it'd be in the refrigerator.
Rorschach: Okay, let's call the pizza guy.
They call the pizza guy.
Goldenhour36: Hey, I can barely handle driving because it's my greatest fear, but I'm still the pizza guy for some reason.
The Dark Alfred: Good. We need you to deliver the mansion a pizza with all the red mushrooms on it.
Goldenhour36: Uh, okay!
Goldenhour36 drives away from the mansion and crashes into a pizza shop called The Krusty Koopa.
Goldenhour36: One red mushroom pizza with exactly six mushrooms please.
Krusty Koopa Cashier: (Koopa noises)
Confessional - The Dark Alfred: Operation Pizza was my idea. It's incredibly convoluted and doesn't make any sense, but at least it'll get us through the episode!
Flashback ends. Rorschach eats the pizza and bursts triumphantly out of the refrigerator.
Rorschach: Now where's that Daisy painting... Oh look, there it is!
****
Asyulus makes it to the bottom of the slide.
Asyulus: Now where's that Daisy painting... Oh look, there it is!
Sure enough, there's another copy of it hanging on the wall.
Asyulus: Meep meep meow, gonna grab it now... Huh?
One poison mushroom lands on Asyulus.
Asyulus: Bleh! Who's responsible for this?
A faint smell of weed appears from the filtration system... Dark Alfred!!
Asyulus: Well, I better grab this painting...
****
Everyone reconvenes at the mansion entrance, and they save Daisy from the painting.
Luigi: Good work, Survivors. But only one of you can be the winner. Two of you have a painting, but only one of you found the actual painting, and the other one found a counterfeit version. The player with the real painting is...
SpoilerAsyulus (-3%) 0.90 (😺🐧) The Dark Alfred (❤️) 0.9236661717 Fancyarcher (-21%) 0.5921911576 Goldenhour36 0.7060046083 Rorschach (+18%) 0.9236661717 Rorschach with 92.37%!
The heart of friendship means Dark Alfred and Rorschach both have immunity.
Interestingly, the one Poison Mushroom placed onto Asyulus by Dark Alfred ended up deciding the winners this time.
Asyulus, Fancyarcher, and Goldenhour36, are the only players eligible to be voted for at the next tribal council.

And (from Wiki, b/c this research has all been fascinating) the next movie planned from the studio's original content is somehow a sci fi thriller in Dec 23/Jan 24 - The Shift - with Neal McDonough and Sean Astin, and no announced budget. So, it seems the company is looking at expanding even more beyond "direct" faith based, at least for its theatrical releases (although this release apparently is gonna be more faith flavored than SoF).
I found the website detailing how filmmakers can submit a five-minute prototype to Angel Studios as a “torch” for the studio to consider helping and guiding them with matters of funding. Anyone intrigued can click here for more information, but I’ll elaborate on this as well.Angel Studios defines as a “torch” as any film/tv project or story that “amplifies light,” and their definition of light derives from Philippians 4:8 where Paul famously states, “finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is anything excellent or worthy of praise, think about these things” (NASB). I believe that when a genuine Christian sets out to make a film of any genre, as many Christians did in the times of vintage Hollywood when the faith was more widely practiced—and when they’re doing it the right way—their effort to make it the above things shines through the work itself. A western can amplify light, a sci-fi can amplify light, a drama can amplify light, a fairy tale can amplify light, a crime film or historical piece or comedy can amplify light, and so on, as long as the filmmaker crafts something exuding the traits listed by Paul.
Their definition of light invites a complicated debate on whether it’s ethical for Angel Studios to give a platform to filmmakers engaging in QAnon conspiracy, but the film Sound of Freedom in and of itself, in my opinion, offers a great example of what it could mean for a film to be true, honorable, right, etc. A film amplifying light can absolutely discuss uncomfortable topics like trafficking and still be presentable as light.
-
Believer here, so I should post my take:
- I like the movie in and of itself
- I dislike Caviezel’s engagement with QAnon, because many of their conspiracies are based in falsehood
- I saw the film before I knew about the ties to QAnon and feel slightly deceived
- If someone wants to see it, I still encourage them to see it, but because I know that they’re the demographic that’s interested
- I want to keep the QAnon stuff in mind as I discuss the movie so that even if people continue seeing the movie, they might not be led astray into believing lies perpetuated by QAnon
- Hey, if people don’t want to see it, if they don’t want to buy tickets, that’s perfectly fine, that’s their right, and I respect their decision especially if it’s a decision made in response to its ties to QAnon
- The cinematography is fantastic, great imagery, and I will campaign this for cinematography at the Boffies even if I’m the butt of a joke for it
- Not Ballard for Hero due to QAnon
- But yes for Trafficking for the Villain category

Isn't production on this currently shut down due to the strike? Odd they would date it for a release in the not too distant future since who knows when that will end.
I might be wrong but if they’re shooting now, it may mean they have a script that they’re confident in, or a script they don’t have to do any rewrites with. I think the rule is that because of the strike they can’t rewrite anything during an in-progress production. -

TRIBAL COUNCIL
SLAM!: Welcome to tribal council, where one of you will be eliminated from Survivor: Mushroom Kingdom.
Goldenhour36 eyes Rorschach.
Rorschach glares at Fancyarcher.
Fancyarcher glares at DAJK.
DAJK glares at Asyulus.
Asyulus glares at his jar of milk (it's empty).
The Dark Alfred glares at something he's sees during his bad trip.
SLAM!: All right, it's time to vote!
Everyone votes.
SLAM!: All right, if anyone has an advantage or an immunity idol and would like to play it, now would be the time to do so.
Goldenhour36: (waits patiently)
DAJK: (purses lips)
The Dark Alfred: ...
Item Play #1
Spoiler
The Dark Alfred: We all know where the votes are landing, so I'll use this ice flower. You know, the one I earned by getting the best Polite Society prediction in Week Four!
SLAM!: By playing the Ice Flower, Dark Alfred will forfeit his vote this week, and he will be able to play an extra vote next week.
Item Play #2 and #3
Spoiler
Fancyarcher: I'm playing two poison mushrooms...
SLAM!: ...On who?
Fancyarcher: On DAJK.
(Everyone gasps.)
DAJK: Huh? Why me?!
Fancyarcher: It's that coin total, dude. I gotta make sure you can't use those coins against me!
Asyulus: Oh, uh, I'll add three more.
DAJK: Nooooooooo!
Goldenhour36: Don't worry, DAJK. We have the numbers this week, so you're safe unless Fancyarcher wins immunity, or unless...
DAJK: Huh? Unless what?
Rorschach: 😶🌫️
DAJK TAKES A -15% DECREASE
Item Plays #4 and #5
Spoiler
Fancyarcher holds up two super stars.
The Koopas fall out of their seats!
Rorschach: Two idols?! How?!
SLAM!: I'm bringing out two eliminated players to help explain why Fancyarcher has two idols.
@Cap and @Morieris enter the arena.
DAJK: Cap! You must explain!
Cap: Okay, so here's what happened.
Flashback to Cap forgetting to submit weekend predictions for the second time.
Cap: I'll just take twelfth place, I miss America.
SLAM!: Okay! This season, there's a twist called:
THE SECRET SUPERSTAR GIVEAWAY TWIST
SLAM!: You're allowed to secretly give your idol to another player who's still in the game.
CAP: Hmmm... I pick Fancy.
Cut to Fancyarcher extending out his hand to Cap in episode six.
Fancyarcher: Good game, Cap. You played well.
They shake hands. Something startles Fancyarcher, and Cap nods to him as she walks away. We cut to Fancyarcher sneaking off to the barracks alone, where he unravels his hand and finds the invincibility star Cap gave him!
Fancyarcher: And I'm playing Cap's idol on myself!
(The Koopas groan.)
The Dark Alfred: What about the second idol?
Morieris: I'll take it from here!
Cut to Morieris's elimination in episode seven.
Morieris walks out of the arena and finds a kiosk, and on the kiosk, there's several chests, each with the names of a survivor who's still in the game. Morieris reads a note aloud.
Morieris: In observance of the secret superstar giveaway twist, please select one player to give your invincibility star.
Morieris looks at Goldenhour36's box, then turns to Fancyarcher's box and puts it in that one instead!
Goldenhour36: But I thought we had some sparks flying! Why didn't you give your star to me?

Cranky Kong: All right, survivors. Go into this here cavern (points cane) and find me the Muffin of Macguffin! Whoever finds it wins immunity! Now get goin' whippersnappers!
DAJK, The Dark Alfred, Goldenhour36, and Rorschach huddle up.
Rorschach: So elcaballero's out. Now what?
Goldenhour36: Beat Fancyarcher somehow, that's what!
DAJK: Yeah. If we all split up in the cavern, we'll have a better chance at finding the Muffin.
The Dark Alfred: Shroom up, muchachos. We got a tough one ahead.
DAJK and The Dark Alfred consume two and one red mushrooms respectively.
Meanwhile, Asyulus and Fancyarcher meet up.
Asyulus: The battle lines are clear.
Fancyarcher: Yep. Ain't nothing secret.
Beat.
Fancyarcher: I'm the clear comp beast this season. Why aren't you targeting me?
Asyulus: Friendship means little when it's convenient.
Fancyarcher smiles. They share a fist bump.
Fancyarcher: Let's get this Muffin for elcaballero.
Asyulus: Let's do it!
Asyulus and Fancyarcher consume two and three red mushrooms respectively.
Everyone enters the cavern, but they all branch off in different ways.
Goldenhour36: This hallway looks pretty boulder-sized...
He steps on a panel. A boulder rolls toward him.
Goldenhour36: Why does it always have to be boulders?
He runs away from the boulder.
The Dark Alfred finds a room with mushrooms in it.
The Dark Alfred: Ah yeah, time for a trip!
He trips out, so he's not finding the muffin...
Then Asyulus and DAJK battle against giant spiders.
Asyulus: I can't be-web there's giant spiders here...
DAJK: Comedy isn't for you, Asyulus...
Then Fancyarcher and Rorschach both reach the room where the muffin is... But there's a roulette wheel on the table.
Fancyarcher: There's a note here...
Rorschach: Will you do the honors?
Fancyarcher reads the note.
Fancyarcher: "One of you must bet on red, and the other bets on black, and whoever gets the ball gets the muffin."
Rorschach: Talk about high stakes...
They make their bets and spin the wheel.

Based on a True Story
SpoilerFade in on shots of normal life on the streets of small-town Guatemala as cars, mopeds, and the impoverished go about their day. We settle on a bakery owned by a widow named Maria (Barraza). She sells fresh bread to many customers, and it's clear she makes a positive impact on her community. Her adult son, Bruno (Castro), comes to visit after work. They catch up, and it's clear that Maria loves Bruno very much. Bruno must go to a cookout with his cousin, and Maria instructs him not to stay out too late. She watches him leave with a smile.
That night, Bruno hangs out at the cookout. An argument happens between a rich woman's son and his wife. Then a series of misunderstandings involving a gun happens, and the rich woman's son says out loud, "hey look, there's no bullets in the gun, see?" then puts the gun to his head and pulls the trigger. The bullet inside the gun flies through the skull of the rich woman's son, and his blood splatters onto Bruno. Everyone panics, and Bruno's friends suggest that he leaves the scene so the police don't blame him for the poor guy's death, but Bruno insists on staying because he knows it wouldn't be right to leave.
Cut to Maria pacing around, as Bruno has stayed out too late. The police come and inform her that Bruno has been taken into custody. Maria is very troubled by this, but conducts herself with peace, knowing that Bruno would never do anything to intentionally hurt anyone.
But when the police arrive at a bigger house owned by Alma (Forte), the scene is anything but peaceful. Alma screams out as she mourns, with the frame of mind that her son's death affects her own future. Her sorrow and fear blend into each other as she wails...
Maria visits Bruno in prison. Bruno explains what happened in detail, revealing that the gun belonged to Alma's son, and that the son believed there were no bullets in the gun. Maria expresses hope that God will get them through this, and that Bruno will be released soon. They press their hands against the sheet of glass between them.
Meanwhile, Alma schemes with prosecutors, because they're wary that since her son killed himself, his life insurance money will disappear into the void... Unless someone else is blamed for his death in the court of law. One recalls that one of the friends is already imprisoned due to the incident, but the hearing is soon to come. Alma stands and stares out a window, then says something to the effect of "let us take matters into our own hands."
Maria talks with a defense attorney, who tells her that a manslaughter charge has been filed against Bruno. "But he's innocent," says Maria. The attorney assures Maria that the evidence is on her side, and that Bruno would surely be found innocent in a perfect world. But Maria is very unsettled by this.
The trial happens, and the lawyers present all the evidence they have. Bruno's defense attorney presents all the evidence they need to, including video camera footage basically confirming that Alma's son killed himself with the gun, and that Bruno is blameless. A nervous Maria looks to Alma, who sits with dark makeup, straight posture, and a stoic expression.
The jury returns after deliberating, and Maria and Bruno watch in stunned silence as the judge declares Bruno to be "guilty" of the manslaughter charge rather than "not guilty." No hint of remorse on the judge's face, or the face of the lawyers and jurors, and there's surely no remorse present in Alma and her peers. Bruno calls out to Maria as the police take him away, and Maria can only cry and shed tears as Bruno goes.
Outside of the courthouse, Alma takes picture and video for the press, saying things like "hallelujah" and wearing clothes that say the words "Jesus" and "Jerusalem," publicly expressing a form of gratitude God knows to be false.
Maria talks about the verdict with the defense attorney, who surmises that Alma paid the judge, lawyers, and jurors under the table in order to win the case against Bruno, so that she could inherit the life insurance money from her dead son. When Maria asks why Alma would do it, the attorney reveals something he found in his research: some time ago, Alma's husband went drunk driving with her two sons in the car, and her husband and one of her sons was killed in the accident that followed. Therefore, this son was all Alma had left. Maria realizes aloud that Alma surely bought all the people involved in the case. In her bafflement, she asks the attorney, "were you bought?" BEAT. "...I am not at liberty to discuss such matters," the attorney says dryly, "but I will do everything in my power to appeal this verdict and bring you justice."
We get a sad montage of prison guards guiding Bruno through the prison to his cell. They inform Bruno that if he wants to sleep on a concrete slab, he'll have to pay extra, and if he wants blankets, they're five quetzals each. Otherwise he'll be sleeping on the floor. Bruno frowns at the deplorable conditions he'll be living in for many years.
In the bakery, Maria reads a bill from the prison informing her that she'll have to pay for all of Bruno's food, for all of Bruno's threads (for bags or crafts), and for Bruno's access to water and electricity. Basically, everything provided by the prison is something Maria has to pay for while Bruno's imprisoned there. We get moments of Maria struggling financially due to the burdens of having to pay for such things in the prison. The defense attorney becomes an added stressor because they intentionally drag the appeal process along in order to extort more money out of Maria.
One day, in the prison courtyard, Bruno's minding his own business when a gang of thugs surround him and subdue him. They bring Bruno to a phone and force him to call Maria. We intercut between the two as Maria accepts the phone call. Bruno is forced to explain that Maria must bring five thousand quetzals to a certain location, or else he'll be killed. Bruno pleads for his life, and Maria breaks down in tears as she promises to provide the money. We cut to a frantic montage of Maria hurrying to get the money together, and she gives the money to a thug in a sketchy area to pay her son's ransom.
In her car, Maria tells God that she's mad at him, and that she hates him for what she's doing to her and her son. She wrestles with the question of "how could a loving God allow such bad things to happen."
In the prison, Bruno is now sleeping on crates propped up from the floor. Bruno's woes haven't ended yet, as he's suffering from terrible pain. Maria asks the prison to let him visit the doctor, and the prison refuses, but Maria begs them until they cave in and let him visit a doctor, who reveals that the pain is coming from his gallbladder. The doctor recommends surgery, but Maria knows that bacteria might be on the crates, and all over the prison just in general, so she gets Bruno prescription medication instead. In the visitation area, Bruno thanks Maria profusely for helping him through the pain and for all of her support. Maria promises Bruno that she will never abandon him.
One day, Maria goes to buy water for her water filter, and a friend appears to tell her that a group of Americans are coming with better water filters, and that if she received a filter from them, the new filter could even filter the tap water, meaning there would be one less thing she has to worry about buying. Maria says she wants to meet these Americans.
On a sunny day, the kind where everything appears golden, Maria goes to a small Christian school where young Christian missionaries show her the water filter. (Their English is not subtitled, but the Spanish spoken by their interpreter is subtitled.) They carve a hole in a bucket, then insert the simple tube system and pour dirty water into the bucket. They attach the water filter to the tube and pour water through the filter into a plastic cup, and the filter removes all of the dirt, and the water comes out clean and fresh to drink. The missionaries drink the filtered water in front of Maria to demonstrate that the filter system is trustworthy. They also show Maria how to clean the water filter, and they tell her that she can filter 150 gallons of water a day, so she can share clean drinking water with her family, friends, and community. Maria is grateful to receive the filter.
The missionaries talk about their faith, and how just like the water needs the filter to go from dirty to clean, sinners need Jesus for their sins to be washed away. They ask her, "do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior?" Maria replies, "yes." Then they ask the follow-up question, "so if you died today, would you go to Heaven?" Maria thinks for a moment and answers, "no." They ask her why, and she says that she's guilty over being mad at God. The missionaries clarify that if she's chosen to trust Jesus as her Lord and Savior, then she is surely saved. Maria smiles and says, "that changes my perspective." The missionaries golf-clap in celebration of Maria's salvation. An older missionary asks if there is anything she would like them to pray about. Maria then bursts into tears in front of the missionaries. She tells her story, and the story stuns the missionaries into silence. Some cry with her, some exchange mortified looks, and some listen intently and seriously. They lose the time to pray but promise to pray for her later, though it's clear that her story will stick with all of the missionaries. One by one, the missionaries give Maria a hug, and the interpreter hugs Maria after them.
Maria takes her water filter home, and she replaces the old water filter with the new one. She wears a smile of pure, genuine peace as she bakes batches of bread. She sets some bread aside, and she leaves toward the prison with that bread, so she can share it with Bruno once she arrives. Fade to black.
Bruno is awaiting his appeal trial.
If he pleads guilty, he maintains his current sentence of four years in prison.
If he pleads not guilty and loses the appeal, he will have to serve three additional years.
The judicial system in Guatemala is infamously corrupt. Prosecutors who speak out are arrested, with charges like "abuse of authority" and "false testimony" issued against them. It is a system where verdict can be purchased by the wealthy, and where the poor suffer the most.
Many stories like this one remain untold.

@Asyulus @DAJK @The Dark Alfred @Fancyarcher @Goldenhour36 @Rorschach
Two films, No Hard Feelings and Past Lives, have yet to release their actuals. This is an issue because the gap between first and second place is currently "too close to call." I want to at least wait for No Hard Feelings's number. I don't know if A24 will submit a Past Lives number in a timely manner because they've had issues with punctuality before. In any case, about a third of the episode is written already, but it won't be posted until a little bit later today, or maybe even early tomorrow.

SURVIVOR MUSHROOM KINGDOM Episode Fourteen: "Funky Kong Stadium"
in Box Office Survivor
Posted · Edited by SLAM!
@Asyulus @The Dark Alfred @Fancyarcher @Rorschach
Funky Kong: Hey survivors, what's kickin'? It's time for you to perform dangerous stunts inside my stadium! Ka-chow!
SLAM! spins the wheel...
The wheel lands on Fancyarcher.
SLAM!: Fancyarcher, you're up first.
Fancyarcher arrives on a motorcycle, facing two ramps and a column of blazing hot fire.
Funky Kong: Jumping over fire on a motorcycle! A classic Evil Knievel stunt! Wait. What's this?
Fancyarcher turns the motorcycle around, so that his back faces the ramp.
Funky Kong: Wow! He's going backwards!
Fancyarcher speeds, driving backwards, and soars over the blazing fire, and makes it across safely!
Funky Kong: Wow! What a stunt!
SLAM! spins the wheel...
The wheel lands on Rorschach.
SLAM!: Next up is Rorschach, who is inexplicably wearing an "I ❤️ Chris Nolan" t-shirt.
Two Rorschach step into the stadium.
Funky Kong: What's this? Oh, wait a minute!
They start fighting each other.
Funky Kong: Wow! It's Rorschach fighting an Inverted version of himself, just like in Tenet!
They fight in an action scene with great stunt choreography.
Funky Kong: Wow! It's times like these you wish they had an Oscar for Stunts!
SLAM! spins the wheel...
The wheel lands on The Dark Alfred.
SLAM!: It's The Dark Alfred's time to shine!
The crowd waits, but nothing happens.
Funky Kong: Wow! It appears The Dark Alfred, a notorious stoner, might be too stoned to perform! Wait. What's this?
A helicopter appears over the stadium. A figure opens the helicopter door!
Funky Kong: Wow! He's jumping out of a helicopter!
The Dark Alfred, in a full surfer wetsuit and surfboard, jumps out of the helicopter and lands on a ocean wave, where he surfs.
Funky Kong: Wow! It's a calabunga moment and TMNT hasn't even released yet!
SLAM! spins the wheel...
The wheel lands on Asyulus.
SLAM!: Last but not least, it's Asyulus!
John Wick music plays in the stadium.
Funky Kong: Wow! It's a John Wick tribute!
Goons appear on the stage. Asyulus drives into the stadium and does donuts around the goons, shooting them. Then he enters a maze, where a camera follows him top-down as he shoots his way through. Then he climbs a staircase and shoots down any of the men who stands in his way.
Funky Kong: Wow! I've said more wows than Owen Wilson!
SLAM!: Here's the results...
0.887054496
Rorschach wins immunity with 88.71%!
Narrowly beating Asyulus and Fancyarcher, who submitted the same predictions and scored 87.97%!
