#29 Jesus Christ Superstar (1973): A TRT Movie Review


Listen Later

Jesus Christ, Superstar. Who are you? What have you sacrificed? Do you think you’re who they say you are? These are all fantastic questions asked by Judas, scholars of the historical Jesus, and Chrsitian theologians. Too bad we don’t really get into answering those questions from any of those perspectives (though we pontificate on how Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s Judas would have thought about those questions). Jodie and Matthew analyze Jesus Christ Superstar and talk about the provocative and controversial artistic choices made in this film about the last few days of Jesus’ life. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
