Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) – Part 2: Rock Me, Sexy Jesus | Filthy Habits

About this episode

The episode discusses the themes of fame and pressure in Jesus Christ Superstar as Jesus is named king by his followers.

In Part 2 of Jesus Christ Superstar (1973), we get into what happens when Jesus stops being a mere prophet, and is named "king" by his followers. Bill, Kevin and guest Orion Couling talk fame, ego, pressure, and why nobody in this movie seems to have a handle on what’s a-happenin' (including Jesus). Diversions include: stealing from David Brubeck, why the Apostles have a Hobbit problem, what you would buy with your 30 pieces of silver, and St. Peter actor Paul Thomas' storied adult film career post-JC Superstar. This is another episode in our Filthy Habits series, which will return to focus on Nunsploitation next week, with an episode on The Little Hours.
