Religulous is good for you if…
- you laugh when an interviewer keeps a straight face and lets an answer hang.
- you like watching someone argue for an hour and a half.
- you like real people filmed in their own churches and shops.
Religulous is bad for you if…
- you want believers taken at their word, not set up for a laugh.
- you want a calm evening, and this is a dispute in almost every scene.
