Damned!

Damned! is an alternative re-telling of biblical stories told as Jesus being a teenager, Insanely jealous angels, and other comedic religious figures. It was written, produced, and directed by Impractical Joker and Tenderloin member James Murray and stars Matthew Glass and Jeremy Guskin

Production
Fresh out of college, Murr’s father said he would buy him a Ford Taurus as a graduation gift. Murr instead asked if he could just be gifted the $20,000-$30,000 he would spend on the car to put into a student film. That filmed turned into Damned! a movie written, directed, and produced by Murray, and acted in by his friends/colleagues, including Prince Herb, another Impractical Joker and Tenderloin member. The movie took about a month to shoot, and was just under an hour long.

Reception
Murray was embarrassed and ashamed by how awful the movie turned out, successfully burying the student film until 2015, when it was screened in a movie theater by Murray and other movie goers as a punishment for Murray having lost that episode. It is across the board referred to as awful and very amateur, even by Murray himself.
