Jesus Month: 'KING OF KINGS' (1927, DIR: Cecil B. DeMille)

In this, the first episode of TPNWICMFP's first ever JESUS MONTH, Corbin and Matt discuss "KING OF KINGS," a silent picture (With color segments!) from the father of the film epic, CECIL B. DEMILLE. Topics include: why we aren't we doing one specific movie, DeMille's odd theater aesthetic, the scenes that work (The Ressurection!), the scenes that don't (The Crucifixion), and the question of sin-ema trying to navigate the world of values. 

Watch King of Kings here. Corbin's reccomendation can be seen here. Matt's can be imbibed here. Next week's episode is about 'THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD,' a different, later take on the Gospels. Watch it here. Corbin is just at this moment learning it is more than three hours long, so, should be fun.
