It's Gawd! (2017)
5/10
Mother of mercy is this our end?
13 December 2018
In this film which is a hit and miss satire on religion and end time days we learn that the Universe is run like a business with a super being board of directors. Earth and the solar system is being considered for liquidation as it has not turned out as expected. But superbeing God under whose charge this planet has been says he wants an extension to turn things around.

Tommy Chong gets his chance to play the Supreme Creator/Deity in It's Gawd. Spelled this way Gawd decides the quickest way to reach all minds and hearts through television so he wants a variety show. As he's in the garb of a homeless derelict he doesn't get taken seriously by networks, even Fox. So he seeks out podcaster Booboo Stewart and soon the Supreme Being is in show business.

This is a most uneven satire of religion that kind of picks up in the second half of the film. Another performance of note is that of Luke Perry as a network executive who gets sold than disillusioned on the Gawd Hour.

Fans of Tommy Chong will like this.
