0:03
Alan tell me about Homestead okay uh
0:06
Homestead is from Angel Studios uh this
0:09
one kind of caught me by surprise
0:11
because I didn't know too much about it
0:12
until I started into the film but um if
0:16
you look at the poster here you see a
0:17
nice Farmland here what happens is uh a
0:21
nuclear bomb goes off in Los
0:23
Angeles uh a uh a family decides that
0:26
they need to go to the homestead for
0:29
protection this Homestead exists in
0:31
Colorado it's run by Ian Ross played by
0:34
meil Neil mcdna and and Neil uh has
0:37
built this kind of compound in the
0:39
middle of nowhere in Colorado and uh he
0:42
knew one day things would fall apart the
0:44
government would collapse which is uh
0:46
starting to happen and decided that he
0:48
needed to provide for his family in case
0:51
such an event happens so not only did he
0:53
build a homestead but he contracted some
0:56
uh some military Special Forces uh
0:58
veterans to now join the homestead and
1:01
protect it and uh so the the the movie
1:05
plays out well what if this event
1:07
happens what if the US government falls
1:09
apart and collapses and what if you were
1:11
resourceful enough to create this
1:12
Homestead what would happen you know so
1:16
science fiction in a way kind of yeah
1:19
post-apocalyptic fantasy so obviously
1:22
you know the Neighbors start showing up
1:24
hey we know you have food in there uh
1:27
can you can you let us in can you share
1:30
uh and then he's got these military guys
1:32
to keep the friends out um and then uh
1:36
people start swarming Thea the homestead
1:39
uh innocent or not uh you know at one
1:41
point someone accidentally gets uh gets
1:44
killed for being in the wrong place at
1:45
the wrong time and they're they're they
1:47
have to deal with that also uh the rats
1:51
are getting to the wheat and so they're
1:53
running out of food faster than they
1:55
thought they would uh this is from Angel
1:57
Studios which would imply that there is
1:59
a Christian message behind and there is
2:02
uh and it's very interesting because
2:04
about halfway through the film you start
2:07
realizing what would a Christian do if
2:09
they were in this position you know what
2:11
would a Christian do if the neighbor
2:12
showed up begging for food you know what
2:15
what would you do you know there's all
2:17
this paranoia going on um you know you
2:21
know and and now you have God playing
2:24
the picture do you trust God or do you
2:25
trust your paranoia and this is how this
2:28
movie kind of plays out and I found it
2:30
fascinating uh also if you didn't know
2:33
this but this movie is basically the
2:36
pilot to a series to a to a television
2:39
series that you can watch on uh on at
2:41
the angel Studio website and so there
2:44
are several episodes that now follow
2:46
this movie uh which is uh which I found
2:49
fascinating as well um you know I'll
2:53
give it to Angel Studios like I said
2:55
I've I've been a Christian a very long
2:58
time and early in my life Christian
3:00
movies were just consistently awful um
3:04
this one I just found fascinating on the
3:06
level of the Left Behind series it's
3:08
kind of that what if you know they they
3:11
really the filmmakers really get a
3:13
handle on pushing the plot to its
3:16
logical extreme and then ask the
3:18
question what would you do in this
3:20
situation and that's exactly what this
3:23
uh what this film is um and so yeah
3:26
highly recommended just fun to watch if
3:28
you're if you're fan of the
3:30
postapocalyptic films including left
3:33
behind I think you're going to have fun
3:34
with this one uh Neil mcdna uh I
3:38
appreciate the fact that he's getting
3:39
into Christian films uh and he's
3:42
definitely bringing the gravitas that
3:44
that the genre desperately needs so you
3:47
recommend it I recommend it it's in
3:48
theaters for a limited time and you can
3:51
pass it on to a friend so you can go to
3:52
the website and give free tickets to
