Here at the end of another decade, Dan, Claire, and Erin ask a question: can a movie have too much Jesus but also way too little Jesus at the same time? It's our second biggest Joint Champion Juggernaut, Ben-Hur, in which Charlton Heston pursues vengeance via chariot while Forrest Gumping his way through the New Testament. Claire and Erin cry out for slash-fic, Dan makes his final statement on the failures of 50s Bible Epics, and our guest Gina Stewart is here to tell us all about the original novel, and how a nearly four hour movie still managed to leave stuff out. What's the hottest 'ship of the movie? Which alternate film version of this is Dan inevitably going to get drunk and hate-watch? Which of its many Oscars did this objectively deserve the least? All this and more! Listen now!
