Episode 30 - The Passion of the Christ

Happy Easter! Sir Mel Gibson's 2004 box office smash "The Passion of the Christ" is in a genre of movie we have yet to cover on the show: torture porn. It's a movie about suffering—specifically, the audience's. Jimmy "JC" Caviezel plays the son of the one true God, Jesus H. Christ. It's a tall tale about a child born after a ghost impregnated his mommy without her consent. He then went around showing off a bunch of magic tricks until it landed him in hot soup with some powerful Jews and Romans. The famed anti-Semite and misogynist star of "What Women Want" directed this slow-motion snuff film that used more blood than 10,000 elevator scenes from "The Shining" and had more Gore in it than Tipper's vagina in the entire 1980s.
