About this listen

 Richard Lindsay discusses Barabbas (1961), a Hollywood Biblical epic starring Anthony Quinn as the criminal released by Pilot in the New Testament story of Jesus' crucifixion. The film engages with the existential crisis of freedom and the cackling Jack Palance--talk about tonal shift! Richard Lindsay is the Program Director at the Blackfriars Gallery in Berkeley, California, where he curates and promotes its Religious and Biblical movie poster collection. He is the producer, co-writer and co-narrator of Hollywood Biblical Epics: The Podcast. He is the author of Hollywood Biblical Epics: Camp Spectacle and Queer Style from the Silent Era to the Modern Day.
