Spencer and Dave are going back to 1988 and discussing what might be the greatest Jesus movie of all time. The Last Temptation of Christ. Directed by Martin Scorsese, written by Paul Schrader with Willem Dafoe playing Jesus, Barbara Hershey as Mary Magdalene, and the greatest Judas performance ever from Harvey Keitel. Based on the original book from Nikos Kazantzakis.

This story of Jesus really has a grounded, realistic human version of the legend. With some magic and fantasy still there in the epic. But Willem Dafoe makes the carpenter come across as a real fella who is just trying to figure out what is best in life and how exactly to spread the word of love and God right. It's one of those movies that just tells an interesting story and the questioning temptation that may offend the non-open-minded Christians out there who realistically probably are not that good of folks themselves. If one just gets past that, this movie here just delivers on all fronts and is really a hidden gem for everyone involved in making it.
