It's time for Lax Historical Context to stop toeing the line and blast furiously into glorious blasphemy with a special Jesus(ish) themed episode in celebration of Easter!

It's time for a Lax Historical Context high school flashback! Think of it as a sort of Origins 2.0 for the supervillain aspects of Sean and Sasha.

It's the latest in an unofficial Lax Historical Context series!
