Here's what I think happened to Jeff after the end: He screams "SINNERS!" as he keeps smashing records. Once he's done, he shouts "I AM SAVED!" then collapses. He wakes up in a hospital about two weeks later, surrounded by family and friends. The doctor tells him he suffered a simultaneous heart attack and stroke, and that it was a miracle he came out of his coma. He tells everyone that while in the coma, he talked to God. Among other things, God tells him that he was going too far, that rock and roll is the LEAST of society's probelms and that double whammy was the mother of all wakeup calls. Jeff starts making amends, apologizing about what an overbearing, preachy asshole he was, and that while he might not like their tastes in music, he can certainly give it another try.

The fundamentalist view of rock music is frankly baffling; the text basically doesn't support any aspect of it, a true testament to their hypocrisy

This reminds me of when my parents and grandparents (who were hardcore Christians) had a talk with me about the music I listen to when I was a teenager. They were doing everything they can to put me off listening to metal, like saying they watched a documentary about cults and a bunch of other stuff, then my dad asked would I consider giving it up. Teenage me just scoffed and ignored it. A few months later my dad realised he was harsh on me apologized. This film would honestly be the sort of thing they would show me back then.

He's holding up Lyn Skyn's first album and says that the songs are all about sex or drugs. I wanted to test how far he had to stretch his mind to get there so here's the tracks: I Ain't the One - he's right here. This one's about the singer telling a pregnant woman he wasn't the one who did it and thus he's leaving before she puts "a hook in" him." Tuesday's Gone - no way is he right here. The title and the song are in no way dirty. It's just a breakup song. To stretch this one to being dirty you've just got to figure that the mention of women by men is suggestive. Gimme Three Steps - eh, kinda. It's just a guy flirting with a girl when her boyfriend comes and threatens the singer with a gun, so he asks for three steps towards the door. Again, only "bad" if the idea of people being in bars and owning guns is offensive to God. Simple Man - this is practically a christian song. Ronny Van Zant wrote this about his own mother's advice to him, which includes remembering "there's someone up above," and "be something you love and understand." To make this dirty, whew, I guess it does use the word lust when he says to "forget your lust for the rich man's gold." Things Goin' On - this is a political song saying that then current events are bad, such as "too many lives spent across the ocean, too much money they spent up on the moon." The song does mention getting high, in the sense that it says that politicians don't care about people, "they just sit up there and just get high." So I guess it does mention drugs. Kinda missing the point calling this song out as bad. Mississippi Kid - this is a 12 bar blues song about a kid from Mississippi going to Alabama to bring back "his woman" who ran there, threatening violence to anyone who gets in his way. Certainly this is a problematic song what with all of the violence it conjures up. I could see where this kid would call this a bad song, but it'd be interesting to hear this church's advice on whether the woman mentioned in this song should leave this clearly abusive relationship. Poison Whiskey - really more a PSA than a dirty song. It's about drinking sure, but it talks about how whiskey (alcoholism by extension), will inevitably kill. This song is just about the singer remembering how they took his dad to a doctor and were told that "20 years of rotgut whiskey done killed this poor man dead." The final advice is "don't drink that poison whiskey, don't you drink it boy." The only way this is a somehow offensive song is if the mention of death or alcohol is offensive. Oh, it does mention Satan, in that it equates alcoholism to the work of Satan to kill people really slow. I don't see where this kid would disagree with the song. Free Bird - man, you don't love this song you can stick your holiness right up your ass and fly out to purgatory where Saint Peter's gonna be rocking out to this song calling you a square.

“And who could forget ‘Take My Hand’ by Dewey Cox?” - Jeff

If you say the title fast, it sounds like “Rockets: Your Decision”. As in, it’s my decision to shoot this movie with a rocket.

I flat out broke at the Barry Manilow GG Allin comparison.

I doubt that since they are fans of Rock & Roll. However, this makes the comic even worse since their tribute to Rock & Roll is the equivalent of Madonna taking about herself during Aretha Franklin's tribute. A botched, attempt towards sympathy.

Tobe Fair, "I dont like this so no one else should like it" is the motto of the internet these days so Jeff was really just ahead of the curve.

The mall that the music store scene was shot in was located in Huntsville and just called "The Mall". It was dying even then and torn down about 15-20 years ago. Perfect metaphor for this film.

That Elvis joke was perfectly written and executed. You got a genuine snort out of me. So glad that you’re back!

Does Rock: It's Your Decision still hold up to Salò and a Serbian Film, Herr Jones?

I was a teen-ager when this came out, though I didn't see it back then. Also had various attempts at becoming a Christian around that time, so, in a way, this reminds me of that time, and that interpretation of Christianity, which is really is an American form of Protestantism, that was around at the time, along with Christian comic books, including Jack T. Chick's little ones, and other media like that. Fortunately, I never got into it as deeply as Jeff does here, and have been a secularist for a few decades now. This could be used to show, even if entirely counter to its producers' purposes, how and why one can become a fanatic, because that's what Jeff turns into here.

I wasn't even born when it was made! 1982, so 13 years before. Which, by the way, is no excuse for the quality. The Secret of NIMH, The Thing, ET, Rambo First Blood, Tron, Conan, The Dark Crystal! All examples of much better films released in the exact same year! How can they claim our lifestlye is sinful when they don't have the generosity to invest in a better sound recording device?

I commend you for being able to review something twice and still keep the jokes and old as fuck references fresh. Props.

6:17 “Illicit sex, drugs, mocking God, the occult, all things often found in rock music.” Yes, of course, the song “God Gave Rock And Roll To You” is really about the occult and drugs. It’s quite obvious.

And then he becomes head of a lynch mob and kills his own mother for liking soap operas, thus completing the Frankenstein analogy with the mother being killed by the monster she had created. No need to worry, Jeff was later killed by the protagonist of Far Cry 5.

He should just listen to Stryper. It would solve the whole plot.

I can't believe I kept passing by this review. I kept thinking it was just the dvd-r hell episode reuploaded!

Yet, about a decade later, The Rolling Stones' Start Me Up would be used to promote Windows 95...

Wonder how Jeff would react if the same guy who triggered Tipper Gore with a song about Nikki ended up a JW.

I would love to see Jeff react to WAP and Montero.

This was my youth. Seriously both my parents thought all music was evil

"Hell Ain't a Bad Place to Be..." Well, as long as Hell has Queen's songs in it, I think I'd agree. Also, that song is comparing a bad girl to a demon and their relationship to be Hell on Earth, not literal Hell. You also had "Let there be Rock" by the same artist. What's wrong with that title?

Well, at least we finally got an orgin story for Clay Walsh from Old Fashioned. 😅

Does this mean we'll get a snob episode of Too Smart for Strangers in the future?

When my dad became a Christian he destroyed all his Beatles and Rolling Stones records because he believed they were "evil." At least now he acknowledges that was pretty stupid, especially because original pressings of those records are worth a decent amount now.

It was dumb of your dad to do that because there was nothing wrong with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Beatles songs were mostly about peace and love. As for The Rolling Stones? Their song Sympathy For The Devil was a song from the Devil's POV.

It's ironic that the ad break in this video for me contained an ad for *Lucifer* I think the universe is trying to tell me something

I just like that they name dropped a great Jefferson Starship deep cut, Devil's Den. Devil's Den lyrics have nothing to do with Satanism, they're about politicians, royalty and money worship.

I agree, it explains three things: the self-loathing "What's wrong with me?" inner monologue at the start, and his out-of-nowhere bashing on homosexuals without giving any follow-up. Finally, he has less-than-zero chemistry with his girlfriend and seems more irritated by her than anything else.

For anybody interested, the "devils and demons" song is called Lady of Lies, and is from a movie called the Devil's Men, which is about Donald Pleasence taking down a Satanic cult.

In my memory, the first video is a Cinema Snob episode. So I guess this is reality conforming to my faulty memory.

I love how the most replayed part of this is that charming going-to-commercial jingle. I guess they work!

Thanks for redoing this video!

I LOVE how Jeff's voice breaks when he yells out "Do You Think I'm Sexy". Still not over puberty, Jeff?

I saw this with my church youth group in 1984 whilst living in a small south Texas town. Afterward, the pastor had us gather up our "devil music" (and accessories) fo a good old fashioned record burning in front of the church. I burned Pat Benatar's "Get Nervous" and my mom's old ouija board. I kept my Devo albums and just didn't mention them around church. Yay Texas.
