  • The serial entrepreneurs and founders of Angel Studios talk about growing up poor in a family of eleven, how they went from selling potatoes door to door to being the ad agency of record for Poo-Pourri, Squatty Potty, and Orabrush, how they survived a $62 million lawsuit from four of the biggest studios in Hollywood, and how their Angel Guild is cracking the code to finding the next big film.

    I grew up with 8 sisters and four brothers. We never knew we were poor either. Had so much fun growing up! Dirt, rocks, crab apples fights, etc. were our toys. Suburbia Detroit and many neighbor kids. My first bike was a frankenbike. Pieces we garbage picked and made into a working bicycle. First gas powered lawn mower we pulled out of someones trash and rebuilt the engine. We fielded our own baseball and football team and played against other neighborhoods.

      I grew up playing "army" with siblings and friends using sticks for "guns" and walnuts (we had trees on the property) for "grenades". We had bicycles we bought for nickels and dimes, which we earned picking beans and other crops, from a family friend who ran one of those now extinct businesses called a second hand store. Had a lot of fun, and only knew we were poor because a few of the more well to do kids at school really seemed to enjoy pointing that out.

But most importantly raised from the dead and is at the right hand of the Father in heaven. And He is returning after a 2000-year church age of grace. He will rule for a millennium, as King of kings in Israel. Maranatha!

I have shared it countless times, to so many people. It is an amazing show. Dry Bar Comedy will leave you in stitches. So many great comedians. The Tuttle Twins are so much fun for kids and adults alike. Very educational too! Wingfoot Saga is an animated fantasy series. A bit dark, but reflects the nature of kingdoms and totalitarian rule. I am waiting with much anticipation for David. An animated story of the life of David, as told in the Bible. The short clip and the mock ups they have shared are wonderful. I am also looking forward to "Live Not by Lies". Based on Russian dissident Solginiski's last letter to his followers before being exiled to America for speaking out against the communist regime. That ought to be fascinating. And so much more to explore at Angel Studios.

    Kids are missing out staying on their devices. We humans are made to create, to do, to be, and not to sit for hours in front of a device. I too spend too much time in front of the computer. Kids tuning into this show would really think about what these two guys were saying about their childhood. It is in children's DNA to realize it would be a lot of fun making and building things. I think they would enjoy it so much more than be on their devices for hours.

    My first connection to these guys was The Sound of Freedom. I immediately purchased tickets to pay it forward and then saw it again two days later and did the same thing again. Took my neighbors with me and we all loved it (although the subject matter was known to us, it was deeply felt by all of us!) What a great contribution to America these guys are providing. So happy to have seen this show, Mike Rowe. You, also, are doing so much to promote the right things for our Country! Thank you!

      I canceled my Guild membership when I heard they are suing The Chosen just before Easter and stopping the outreach I had paid forward to share the gospel…. I lost my enthusiasm for the Guild. Is this their model? To sue and tie up good content? Sounds like their Hollywood lawyer gave them this advice and counsel.

    My mom was an early homeschooler. She was a teacher. She started thinking about homeschooling us when she was teaching in New York. They were really failing my siblings. A teacher even told my mom that my 5 year old brother wasn't college material. It continued to be an issue in Texas. She'd come home from teaching and find my siblings hadn't learned anything and she'd have to teach all over and then do homework till 10 pm. After we started homeschooling in 1996 it took 2-4 hours to get school work done. She used her teachers certificate to get us good curriculum. And to this day there's a good amount that I'm more knowledgeable in then my husband who had a positive public schooling experience. I tried putting my son into public school because I figured the district was a better one. I was wrong. When your 6 year old has a panic attack every single day about going to school, that's just not right. 6 months later and he's still processing the trauma, but at least he's happy and he's ahead where he was behind. Not even 7, 6 months homeschooling, and he's already working on mostly 2nd grade material. Oh, and that brother that a teacher said wasn't college material, he has a phd. All 3 of us are happy, have stable families, college graduates, and are financially secure, and all 3 of us are homeschooling or having every intention of homeschooling our kids

    I’m so grateful for all of you guys! My daughter LOVES Tuttle Twins! I purchased the homeschool curriculum- both history books and the economic curriculum, plus almost every other book (I have to catch up on the newest ones). We can’t get enough! 😂 Also joined the Guild after seeing Sounds of Freedom with my husband on Independence Day last summer. Such an important movie! I was not aware of the present day slavery in our country and around the world. Hollywood, being a big part of that slave trade, obviously won’t produce movies that may end their evil involvement in it. So thank you Angel Studios for your bravery! I pray it has already helped to stop some human trafficking 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
    I LOVED The Shift - I’ve watched more than once! Cabrini was really interesting. We haven’t watched much of the Chosen, but it is by far the best depiction of Jesus that I’ve ever seen and I’m planning on binge watching the series as soon as our homeschool year is over 🥳🙌🏻😁Thank you, Mike Rowe, for another great interview! Very entertaining and informative! God Bless!

    I remember being in Germany, with the military, and we bought our first VCR. It was used and came with three video cassettes, which had three movies recorded on them. One was a great movie, but had a few vulgar words, so I erased the movies. A few weeks later, we were at a friends home, and we were watching a home recorded VHS western movie, and suddenly, a bad word was 'bleeped'. I said, "how'd you do that?" And he showed me how to do it with the recorder! That was about 1982-83. I have wished for such tech since then, and now you've done it. Well done you!
