And to be fair to the film, I'm fairly sure the filmmakers are aware it comes off much more as entertainment than information (and how many people really, really need to know the actual story behind that movie?).<br /><br />I haven't seen Religulous, but Expelled is Jason Gaj.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04308614631964520520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965790905936556434.post-70761553425756193232010-09-17T22:39:05.879-04:002010-09-17T22:39:05.879-04:00Fascinating.
