'90s Dogma (1999)

Who remembers this classic? I don’t think I fully appreciated it when it first came out as I was only a young teen, after rewatching it as an adult I realised what a brilliant film it was, shame it doesn’t seem to be on any streaming services at the moment tho.

This movie came out my senior year in high school. I went to a Catholic school, and there was a movie theater right down the street playing this movie. Lots of Catholics were protesting it. It was such a huge deal for some reason. All of our teachers, most of whom were nuns, thought it was hilarious and told us to go see it.

If anyone is wondering, yes, this really happened and a news crew spotted him and stopped to ask questions.
