Matt Barbot (@barbotrobot) returns to the pod to take the lads on a wild romp through the holy land as they cover Martin Scorsesse and Paul Scharder’s controversial Passion project: The Last Temptation of Christ. Topics include the pitfalls of adapting Jesus’ story, the petty backlash from the Christian Right, and the terrifying genitalia of Willem Dafoe.
