Hunky Jesus - 008

About this episode

The episode explores the Hunky Jesus competition in San Francisco through interviews with key figures involved.

Every Easter in San Francisco, there’s a competition to find the best hunky Jesus. We didn’t go to it, BUT we spoke to Sister Roma, one of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the order of queer nuns that organises it. AND to filmmaker Jennifer Kroot who’s just made a film about the sisters and their search for hunky Jesus.  -Adam + Tash Films:  Hunky Jesus La Grazia Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma I Saw the TV Glow Queer disabled arts project: Eff-able TV: The Repair Shop (BBC) - featuring the first Switchboard log book!
