Amelia and Sarah wrap up our discussion of Jesus Christ Superstar, the greatest musical ever made as far as Amelia knows. We talk about adapting the same text into different productions and whether Jesus is a likable character. We also lose a couple minutes trying to do a Mads Mikkelsen impression for reasons that seemed very important at the time. Amelia gets eye-twitchingly mad at religious sexism and Sarah wastes her time trying to get her philistine best friend to appreciate her beautiful star-studded Broadway fancast for an all-female plus one Spider-man production. We also talk about what we're discussing when we come back next month. I'll give you a hint: Sarah's finally gonna get a chance to talk about her experiences with projectile vomit.

Jesus' Likability Factor: Jesus Christ Superstar Finale

Sarah and Amelia interrupted their discussion of the musical as a whole because they had to get the 2000 version out of their system. There is not one ounce of theology, religious studies, history, research, or intelligent thought in this here episode. There is discussion of cargo pants, the bold articulations of Pilate, and how this Judas is just the Worst. Truly. The Worst.

Jesus Christ Superstar 2000 Takes Place on a Spaceship

Sarah and Amelia don their sequined mesh and purple leather to discuss Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, including: Sarah's powerful respect thirst for a certain actor, Amelia's basic ignorance of the calendar, and the powerful gay vibes. We also discuss the historical Mary (fun with demons!) and the historical Pilate (far less fun with antisemitism). Sarah ended up having to donate $8.25 in quarters to a church by pouring them directly into the offering tin, so at least one half of this podcast paid for their sins.

Jesus Christ Superstar Live ft. Willy Wonka-Ass Dom Daddy

In the first of three episodes on Jesus Christ Superstar, Sarah and Amelia take baby steps towards understanding Jesus, jazz handing all the way. Sarah shares her favorite movie musical with her best friend who shockingly appreciates it. Amelia relates too much to Herod. A van full of hippies leave their friend to die in the desert, Judas’ betrayal is only the second most hurtful thing someone does to someone they love in this episode, and we try to nail down the basics of the last seven days of Jesus’ life. The fact we wrote “nail down”means we have to put another dollar in the blasphemy jar.

Jesus Christ Superstar Is Somehow Not A Comedy

Sarah and Amelia talk God. Amelia doesn't believe; Sarah would like to. Also, musical theater, crying in church, signs from God that we'd like to return, bargaining with God for snow days, and is this the best life Amelia could be living. Is it. Is it really. Also, today is a snow day, so as per her divine compact with God, Sarah is Mormon now. The title is belated vindication for Amelia, who did in fact correctly remember a figure from classic American literature. No one saw that coming.

The Divine Origin of The Jesus Eckleburg

Amelia and Sarah are best friends looking for God. Amelia is happily an atheist and can list four whole facts about Jesus. Sarah read Jesus/Judas fanfic at an impressionable young age and is constantly on the search for faith. Together, they watch, read, and listen to religious media to understand how people translate religion into horror movies, musicals, and low budget romcoms.
