Candace Cameron Bure Says Horror Films Can Open ‘Portal' That Is ‘Incredibly Demonic'
Candace Cameron Bure seems fully convinced that horror films can open 'a portal.' The 'Full House' alum has frequently espoused her Christian values publicly, including her preference for a meek and 'submissive' role in marriage, but went a little further afield this week by arguing that television can 'let stuff inside' the home that is 'demonic.' The actor presented her personal 'portal' theory on Tuesday's episode of 'The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast' and admitted that her kids — Lev, Natasha and Maksim — mock her for it 'all the time.' Social media users who heard her out are currently doing the same. 'Like if you're watching this, or you're playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home,' said Bure on the podcast. 'I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that's just a portal.' The actor reminded viewers that she's in the film industry and understands how movies are made, but nonetheless argued there can still be 'something incredibly demonic' to the results, which her guest, Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda, audibly agreed with. Bure's philosophy appears to extend even to everyday products, such as water. 'I feel like it's a portal that gets opened up, and that just reminded me, you've posted something a while back about Liquid Death,' she told Pokluda. 'You're like, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?'' The pastor shared such sentiments on social media earlier this year, declaring that he is 'super out' on the beverage company for a marketing campaign cheekily asking customers to 'sell your soul' to join its 'Liquid Death Country Club.' 'They are asking you to sell your soul to them and hired a witch to curse their drinks,' Pokluda wrote on Instagram in February. 'Spread the word. If you're like, 'OK, Karen, they are just having fun.' Please grab a copy of 'Your Story Has a Villain.'' Pokluda's book aims to teach readers how to 'identify spiritual warfare' and 'defeat the enemy.' His claim that a witch cursed Liquid Death's products, meanwhile, appears to be based on a 2019 marketing stunt for a run of Halloween-themed drinks. The company also claimed in an advertisement in 2022 to have bought an actual witch a Super Bowl ticket. While most customers likely see these stunts as mere promotional ploys, devout Christians Pokluda and Bure appear to be unconvinced. 'This is how he works,' Pokluda said about the devil. 'I'm telling you, he tries to disguise under that stuff. That's what he wants you to feel. If you ever are like, 'Oh, I'm not going to be impacted by that,' that's what Satan wants you to feel. That's the whole essence of it.' His comments prompted affirmative nods from Bure, who added, 'Yeah.'

Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road (2021) The world lost a musical icon this past week. Brian Wilson, one of the co-founders of the Beach Boys, died at the age of 82.

It's a testament to Nolan's talent that Oppenheimer might not crack the top three for some fans. Judging by the box office haul from the rerelease, Interstellar might be Nolan's defining movie. At the very least, it's his most personal. With Earth facing extinction, former pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) agrees to work for NASA and pilot a mission through a wormhole near Saturn. The hope is that a planet on the other side will become humanity's new home. From the performances and the direction to the score and visuals, Interstellar is a borderline masterpiece.

Directed by The Fugitive's Andrew Davis, Under Siege follows Casey Ryback, a former Navy SEAL working as a cook on the battleship USS Missouri. While at sea, a former CIA operative infiltrates the ship with his band of terrorists and takes control of the Missouri. The renegades thought they had their bases covered. Yet they forgot about Ryback, who becomes a one-man army and fights to take back the ship. Stream Under Siege for free on Tubi.
