Set in the year 2001, The Pope of Utah focuses on two "deliciously sleazy" characters, cocksure telepreacher Melvis Pressin (McCarthy) and his blackmailing in-house censor Del Shandling (Golden). Made for just $40,000, the film employs a dazzling variety of film and video techniques to explore different ways of looking--in TV studios and porno booths, at computer screens and surveillance monitors, through camcorder viewers, etc. The use of color is striking and the satire of televangelism is refreshingly original. In the words of film critic David Warner, "This is unmistakably an auspicious debut with a manic energy and a flair for the grotesque that recalls the work of the Coen Brothers."
