Mr. Deity and The Evil, Part .5
Hello my beautiful, glorious patrons! Here's an early treat. I've been working on this script and video for a while — in terms of making it a reality. For the record, I believe this is the first Mr. Deity episode featuring Larry (Jimbo) in 12 years! And no, that does not make me a believer.
It's a bit of a prequel to the very first Mr. Deity episode. It addresses some of the exusegetics from today's best... I mean, worst Christian excusegists. And addresses the amount and kinds of evil that would be required to give us at least the illusion of free will (as you may know, I think the idea of free will is nonsense).
For those interested, Jimbo shot his side in North Carolina and I shot mine in LA a day later. For his end, we were actually on a FaceTime call where I gave him lines to bounce off, the occasional line reading, and basic direction. But not much. I had forgotten how perfect Jimbo is for the role of Larry. We only did two takes on his end, and two pick ups of the end bit. I love the chemistry between these two characters. But I love Jimbo even more!!! He's just fantastic human being in every way!
Thanks so much for making these videos possible — and for all your continued support! I'll be back in the coming days with the rest of this month's lot. So, more good stuff is just around the corner! Enjoy!!! B

So, we exist to bring glory and love and worship to a deity who is complete and needing nothing? Seems pretty needy to me.
Oh My Deity, what a rush to see my favorite… supernatural?... beings together again. As you know, BriBri, I grew up on the early seasons of MR DEITY and since the DEITY universe exploded a millennia ago (farewell, Lucy, Jimbo, Jesus/Jessy?? etc), well, we've all been forlorn, frankly. Not that you're not great on your own but you know, everybody liked you because of your dogs and… well, Peace be with you and say HI to Dennis P next time you see him. (I've started eating his non-meat burgers even though he calls himself DR. Praeger for that enterprise.)
Oh, what a nostalgia hit! Super work, both then and now.
apples in shot has some sort of significance... Mr D has a laptop but never sends emails is kinna a big FU to word of god can be breathed only lowly human.
The Apples are to cover the Apple logo. #meta
Wonderful.
Love all the references! Even though it's only 6 minutes you manage to get so much in! The dialogue with Larry is perfect! Thankyou!!
Mr Deity is back!
Oh I'm just so happy ...
Hahahaha! I've missed the irony of Mr. Deity… and Larry's sycophantic service. I sure wish I could hear Lucy's reactions over a conference call…!
So good!
