Movie Review: Average Joe [TEASER]

Hey coach, could I pray with you? Free country. Hey everyone, this is Leon from Prologg Projects. On this subscriber-only episode of 5-4, Peter, Riannan, and Michael are marking the holiday season by watching the minor motion picture Average Joe. As you'll hear, the film is only kind of about the Supreme Court, but it does in its way, center around the courts 2022 ruling in favor of Joe Kennedy. Football coach at a public high school claimed a first amendment right to pray on the field during games. You weren't trying to convert them? Look, I'm a Marine, and the Constitution means something to me. It's always been a freedom thing. The result is a muddled bit of Christian propaganda that is much less fun to watch than it is to make fun of on a podcast. This is 5-4. A podcast about how much the Supreme Court sucks. Welcome to 5-4, where we dissect and analyze the Supreme Court cases that have done a hostile takeover of this country. Like Paramount taking over Warner Brothers. I'm Peter, I'm here with Riannan. Hey everybody. And Michael. I'm so upset that I have to root for fucking Netflix to consolidate media and buy Warner Brothers Discovery because the alternative is Paramount. Fuck Paramount. Yeah. Fuck the Ellisons. Fuck the Ellisons. Well, when I look at the Warner Brothers catalog, I think what would a bunch of pervert freaks do with this? You know, I'm curious. I need to see it. Wait, does that mean that you want to see Netflix? What Netflix does with it or what the Ellisons do with it? I was referring to the Ellisons. Unfortunately, we're forced to root for Netflix here. Which by the way, I was just thinking about this. I was reminiscing the other day. Do you guys remember when Netflix sort of like first dropped? Streaming or just like DVD rental? I mean streaming. I mean streaming specifically. Because when I first booted up Netflix, that first year, I feel like you didn't have the same choice paralysis that you get now. Right. You were just like, there's a bunch. Like I can watch all of these movies. And they're just putting prestige television. It's beautiful to have all these choices. It's incredible. And now when I hear that little dintin, I'm like, here we go. It's a burden. Just me and my wife just scrolling through 100 different options being like, no. No. Moody in the toilet. No. And then we're like, fine. Great British big and show whatever who gets a shit. Who gets a fucking shit anymore. All right. Holiday Special folks. We've made it a bit of a tradition to do a movie review episode during the holiday season. Unfortunately, we're pretty low on Supreme Court themed movies. Thankfully, one popped up last year about a recent Supreme Court case that we've covered. So topical, so relevant. Germain. If you guys remember, there is a case, Kennedy V. Bramarton School District. This is the praying coach. There was a coach on a high school football team who started praying in the middle of the field. And then the school district was like, hey, I don't know if you can do that because separation has returned to state. And then he's shooting took it up to the Supreme Court and won. And they made a movie about it, folks. And by day, I mean, a bunch of Christian dipshits who don't understand how a film needs to be structured in order to be coherent. Or narrative or dialogue. Writing visual storytelling. None of it. They don't understand any of it. So the movie is called Average Joe. It came out last year, 2024, I think. We have to talk about the format first. It's done in the format of like a meta documentary where you have Joe, coach Joe and his wife. And they are narrating.
