God Bless America is the title of an upcoming black comedy from Bobcat Goldthwait:

Loveless, jobless, and possibly terminally ill, Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of America. With nothing left to lose, Frank takes his gun and decides to off the stupidest, cruelest, and most repellent members of society with an unusual accomplice: 16-year-old Roxy, who shares his sense of rage and disenfranchisement.

I haven’t seen it yet, but people, based on this trailer alone, God Bless America is already my favorite film of all time. As Movie Bob says of God Bless America, “It’s not the movie we want, but the movie we need.”

They called his Shakes the Clown the “the Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies,” so with this new film, can we declare Bobcat Goldthwait “America’s Godard,” too?

God Bless America hits VOD on April 6th and select theatres on May 5th.
