Yeah, and what about Stan Barker and Shields? Now that the pretense of scholarship has been established, then why not use that high position for writing sham reviews? There seems to have been a "knowledge transfer" from Stan to DCP regarding counter-cult ministries. I think that was somewhat practical for the Saints as there was a time when anti-lit was circulating. But it was also dicey since the Church has a policy against reading anti-lit.
Ironically, DCP once held family home evening where everyone would get together and have a good belly laugh over The God Makers. But today, he refuses to link to this site.
Lost Gospel of Thomas 1:8 - And Jesus said, "what about the Pharisees? They did it too! Wherefore, we shall do it even more!"
Meldrum and the heartland movement are part of the much bigger cult of vitamins and Trump, and a few years ago at that family reunion, there was talk about some huge "expo" that Included Meldrum and all this other stuff. Whatever that big glob of Captain Moroni and juicing patriotism is, it doesn't have anything to do with the Witnesses or Interpreter. I could find out a whole lot by asking a family member if they've heard about the film and why or why not they don't plan to go, but not sure if I want to broach anything church related. Hugely tempting though.
There are Backyard Professor videos on YouTube that have more views than Witnesses, and they cost a lot less money to make.
