Amye and Ashley recap and discuss the second season of Amazon Prime’s Shiny Happy People. This one is called A Teenage Holy War.
CONTENT WARNING: If you are someone who has experienced religious trauma, you may not want to listen to this episode. We also discuss gun violence in schools and there is a brief mention of suicidal ideation.
Teen Mania captivated a generation of fervent evangelical Millennial kids with adrenaline-fueled, ecstatic religious experiences through “Acquire the Fire” rallies. But beneath the glittering surface lurked sadistic boot camps, staged martyrdom drills, and fascism disguised as faith - transforming innocent teens into fanatical soldiers, with devastating consequences still unfolding today.
