Gay for Pray: The Erotic Adventures of Jesus Christ

Jesus is kicked out of Heaven for being gay.  The John Waters of Michigan strikes again!

"That's what Rumler is; a modern-day John Waters, making movies like a yesteryear John Waters. It would not be hard to imagine Rumler directing Divine as Jesus or Mink Stole as Evie. The characters have a definite Waters edge; they're trashy, they're misfits. They're definitely counter-culture, and much like the movie as a whole, probably not fit for general public consumption." - WeLoveHorrorMovies.com

"Not since The Passion of the Christ have we seen Jesus take on a comical role like this." - Blacktooth, HorrorSociety.com

"This movie is very funny and very offensive.  I thought I had it all figured out about 10 minutes into the film.  Then at about 11 minutes my mind was blown.  Sit down, strap in, crack a beer, you will be offended.  You will also laugh like a child." - Ross Meyer, Late Shift at the Grindhouse

Director/Writer Nathan Rumler and Producer/Actor(Jesus) will be in attendance to introduce the film and and participate in a post screening Q&A!

Jesus is kicked out of Heaven for being a homosexual, stripped of his powers and cast down to Earth as punishment.  He suffers a mental breakdown and creates an alter ego; posing as a wizard in order to still be able so sleep with men without his followers knowing.  After an altercation, three weirdos (an asshole Atheist, a poor guy down on his luck and a woman with a religious sexual fetish) discover his true identity.  They ultimately decide to take Jesus under their wing and help him get his powers back, but not without catching the attention of some maniacal protesters in town...

In a time when the world is full of "safe spaces", Gay for Pray takes the road less traveled and opts to try and offend everyone instead.  Just remember that this is a comedy, and also a work of fiction (just like the Bible).  If that last joke was too much for you, we suggest skipping this movie and trying something else, I'm pretty sure that Renee Zellweger movie is playing out at the mall.  

Featuring music by Dog Fashion Disco, El Creepo, Knives Out! and Iowa City's own Larry 'The Wizard' Sievers!
