Magic shows for profoundly gullible. 

The church scenes are fun and I appreciated the commentary on the megachurch grift, but Jonas seeing there error of his ways at the end took me out of it. Real megachurch pastors have no moral compass whatsoever.

- “Manipulators are sneaky. I’m obvious. And right.”
- “I know I’m a fake.”
“Well what difference does it make if you get the job done.”

Definitely fun to see Steve Martin in preacher mode but uhhh I’m not sure about this one rn.
