    Christian media fails so hard at what should be a simple task. Don't give me another preachy Kevin Sorbo Dean Cain morality movie, make me a sitcom about ace/aro trans boy Jesus & his sex worker best friend Mary Magdalene having misadventures, getting each other out of scrapes, and solving crimes.

    So, looking into details... This article title is technically correct, but feels very misleading. Kristen was hired for voice acting work playing Mary Magdalene in this story with reportedly over 100 other actors and they're selling it as a podcast. That 'podcast' happened to land with Fox News. It sounds like they've basically just done an audiobook and paired it with some extra narration. >Featuring over 100 notable actors voicing characters of the Bible, the series will include Kristen…

My absolute favorite religious epic film, one to sit with and cherish and weep through. (Also, we're showing it at church on Good Friday.)

    Jesus Christ Superstar (1970) This is the original 1970 concept-album recording and I think it works better as an album than the latter film soundtrack. I prefer Ian Gillan (Deep Purple) as Jesus and Murray Head as Judas, while Yvonne Elliman sang Mary Magdalene in both. #nowspinning #vinyl

    If you wanna watch the whole movie, it's only an hour. It's about Jesus and Mary Magdalene (played by PJ Harvey!) returning to open the seals of the Apocalypse. Satan is involved. Very small scale story actually. Character play, sentimental, janky indie, lovely. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHPW...

    thanks. I’ll look this up. It amazes me that people take these stories that were written so long after Jesus, death as irrefutable fact. For years, the Catholic Church called Mary Magdalene, a prostitute instead of the translation as “companion”. It reminds me of the movie “planet of the apes”.

    People were arguing over the references to Mary Magdalene when the movie came out. There were holes in the documents, so a lot of the arguing was about missing text. I decided to read the translations myself. I'm weird like that, but that version of Genesis is much weirder.

    I was not a fan of Mary Magdalene, but I appreciate that the film went out of its way to clear the air about its titular character. People have assumed for far too long that Mary Magdalene was a sex worker, which would be fine even if she was, but is inaccurate.
