  • Melvin relives some library/Blockbuster nostalgia with rewatching Ernest Scared Stupid.\xa0
  • Introducing Ernest Scared Stupid [13:31]\xa0
  • Melvin felt Ernest Scared Stupid's comedy is pretty good. The kind of comedy you talk about after the fact rather than laugh about in the moment.\xa0
  • Ernest movies are comfy. They're easy to digest and remind viewers of simpler times.\xa0
  • It's a shame that comedy is often regarded as low-brow or low-tier to the general public in terms of performative arts when comedy requires a wealth of talent and brilliance to pull off.\xa0
  • Discussing the concept of fear for children and Christians.\xa0
  • Chris Staron does some biblical gymnastics to correlate Ernest Scared Stupid to scriptural parallels. Hope you brought yoga pants!\xa0
  • Ernest Scared Stupid still fits the bill of "kids on bikes save the day" even if Ernest is, like, 50 years old.\xa0
  • Fear is not a juvenile emotion. Fear is not a sign of immaturity. Fear is healthy, useful, fun, and complicated.\xa0
