After losing his parents, a priest travels to China, where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. At first horrified by this new power, a hooker convinces him to use it to fight crime. And ninjas.

Sure to please fans of the worst comedy B-movies available. Currently streaming with amazon prime.

Maybe you could have them over and just put it on in the background, like cool jazz music, for ambience?

Maybe start by playing it in the background of your next voice call or online meeting -- get some of it embedded in their subconscious!

I saw this on prime and was wondering if it was worth watching for the lulz! Any report?

I mean, I convinced a co-worker to watch it, and he peed himself laughing, so that's one recommendation.

It's SO FUNNY oh my God. The velocipastor kind of reminds me of Dexter? But the funny first two seasons, obviously. and the bands all sounded like high school to me, which I enjoyed but will not interrogate any further.
"First of all, dinosaurs aren't real."
All the blood, very funny sorry
the priest and the sex worker turning into passionate martial artists with no explanation
the FLASHBACKS with the other son omg
The evil plot of the church eeeeeee
The way all the fighters kept pausing the fight to allow for dramatic moments
