Bedazzled (2000)

Jesusary is no more…long live: Satanuary!! All month long at Apocalypse Video, we’re giving tribute to the Dark Lord by diving into the depths of Satan’s most devilish and diabolical filmography…and that includes Belezbob's funnier side.

On this installment of Satanuary, the devil assumes the form of Elizabeth Hurley and gives incel loser, Elliot Richards, seven wishes to win the love of a woman he’s barely spoken to and desperately wants to have sex with. Prepare yourself for the film Us Weekly described as “Hell-acioulsly funny”; it’s Bedazzled (a Harold Ramis Joint).

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me are fellow cinephiles and slaves to Elizabeth Hurley’s power Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include how Bedazzled feels like a jumbled mess of rejected SNL sketches; we endure what basically feels like the epitome of the early 2000’s comedy (replete with a deluge of gay panic jokes); and finally, we try to break down the ultimate message of the film…which I guess is that true love exists, as long as you wait around until you meet a clone of yourself that you can fall in love with…? I guess…?

That’ll do it for this sexy, yet cringy, installment of Satanuary. When we return we’ll be closing up the hell portal that is Satanuary as we bask in the warm, face melting goop of…The Devil’s Rain.
