That bottomless treasure trove of pop-culture conservatism know as Big Hollywood has done it again, showcasing a guest post from Kirk Cameron about his new documentary Monumental. It has it all: Growing Pains call-outs, Ronald Reagan quips, history tourism, longing gawks at American flags, Cameron and family saying grace... everything, perhaps, except Sarah Palin excreting some half-truth about Wasilla. Have a look!
You won't regret it, either. Those on the right will nod approvingly of the actor-filmmaker's spirit-nourishing quest, and those on the left will reel ecstatically from all, oh, 241 reaction shots featuring Cameron in various stages of pride, vexation, indigestion, and/or all of the above. (I especially urge you to savor the side-splitting morsel around the :39 mark.) "What if real change doesn’t start at the top but at the bottom?" he writes at BH. "What if the best place to begin transforming our country is not the Oval Office but the dinner table?" Ha! Good luck with that -- check-splitting with underemployed media types is at least twice as hard as guiding our nation. I can only imagine what it's like with six kids.
The Cameron screens one night only on March 27. Learn more here, or not.
