Just in time for the holidays, Reverend Billy has a new movie out, What Would Jesus Buy? He and his Church of Stop Shopping travel the country exorcising cash registers and spreading the anti-consumer gospel. Other antics ensue. The AP describes how offensive Reverend Billy seems to Christians but nonetheless manages to connect with them over the idea that the buying and gift-giving parts of Christmas have totally overwhelmed the spiritual/religious/family/community experience. Gotta love those things that appeal to both the far right and the far left.

It's playing at Cinema Village in New York, and you can click here for additional theaters around the country. It's up on Netflix, so if all else fails, put it in the "saved" section of your queue. Report back, I haven't seen it yet. (Previews available on YouTube, and, ironically, the Apple website.)
