What followed was one of the most inebriated, unhinged, chaotic recordings in Bone-Us history.Editing attempts were made. Tempers flared. Vulgar language was shouted at laptops. The episode was declared lost to time, mostly due to attempts to match continuity, followed by serious discussions about whether it should ever be released.Until now.Because the Farx brothers realized releasing it a year later was way funnier. So rise again with us and enjoy the mayhem, crass jokes, and increasingly drunken commentary on The Passion of the Christ.Follow Ushttps://www.youtube.com/@JKProductionsMNhttps://www.instagram.com/jkproductionsteam/https://www.facebook.com/JKProductionsMN/#newpodcastepisode #filmpodcast #moviebaters #films #movielovers #PodcastDebate #MovieDebate #Cinephile #MovieTalk #ThePassionofTheChrist #MelGibson #MovieCommentary
