Overview
- Smith says rewatching Dogma with audiences on the anniversary tour revealed no jokes he found cringeworthy.
- He notes a major omission in the original film’s critique, citing the Catholic Church’s cover-up of widespread clerical sexual abuse.
- He now describes himself as a lapsed Catholic and calls Dogma the beginning of the end of his faith, a shift shaped by years of podcast debates.
- He is writing a follow-up that approaches the material through loss of faith rather than the original’s belief-centered lens.
- The 25th‑anniversary edition is out on Blu‑ray and 4K UHD, and recent screenings lacked the threats and protests that marked the 1999 release.
