The Pope of Utah (1993)
A small-time TV evangelist struggles to keep his crumbling career together.
83 min
Set in a retro near-future deep in the bowels of a religious TV station on the Utah-Nevada border -- a sleazy, mustard-pimping TV evangelist named MELVIS goes to war with a crazed burnt out comedian. THE POPE OF UTAH is a nutty, harsh, and funny micro-dystopia about delusion, rage, and show biz jive.
