"Just disappointed" - Nebraska Volleyball's Rebekah Allick reacts to Dogma movie's 25th-anniversary re-release poster involving Jesus Christ

Nebraska Volleyball's Rebekah Allick recently expressed disappointment in the Dogma movie's 25th-anniversary re-release poster, which featured inappropriate visuals. The classic starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is set to be re-released after 25 years on June 5, 2025.

Allick shared the movie's poster, hung at one of Marcus Entertainment's theatres in the USA, which showed Jesus Christ as the central character giving a thumbs up with one hand and pointing to the viewer with the other. The animated version of Jesus Christ was also seen winking in the poster. It also featured a Catholic bishop giving a thumbs-up and a smirk. Sharing the picture of the poster on her Instagram story, Allick conveyed her discontent and wrote:

"Not even shocked, just disappointed."

The Husker's junior middle blocker added two appropriate photos of 'Sacred Heart of Jesus' and 'Catholic bishop' to highlight the mistake and chimed:

"Do better."

Written and directed by prolific American filmmaker Kevin Smith, Dogma was initially premiered at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival & New York Film Festival before releasing in theaters in November 1999. Along with Affleck and Damon, the film features multiple stars, including Salma Hayek, Jason Lee, and Chris Rock.

Nebraska Volleyball's Rebekah Allick recently expressed gratitude toward the Huskers' fans for their constant love and support for the program. She also thanked the Huskers for showing in huge numbers during the clashes. Following the recent Huskers clash, Allick made her feelings known toward fans, saying:

"What this program does and what we believe and what we stand for and it was to bring it back to you guys cause you showed out at the Memorial, you showed out at the home games," Allick said. "There's a reason why we have a 400 sell-out streak so we thank you guys for your support and you constantly showing up for us."

The Nebraska Volleyball locked horns with the South Dakota State volleyball squad on May 3 at the Ord High School in Nebraska. The Huskers program defeated the South Dakota State team with a clear lead of 4-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-17, 25-19).
