About this listen

It’s over three hours long, has a curtain guy intro, animated fire, and Charlton Heston literally talking to himself as God—so of course we had to cover The Ten Commandments (1956).

This week, Jeff and Josue dive into one of the most dramatic biblical films ever made. Is it faithful? Is it dated? Does it still slap? From wild Old Hollywood choices to epic visuals and very ripped background characters, we’re breaking it all down… along with a ton of trivia and a very slow-burning, five-part constipation joke.


Also in this episode:

  • The plagues we remember… and the ones we totally forgot
  • Why Moses went from confident prince to dazed desert mystic
  • And yes, we try to name all Ten Commandments (spoiler: it's harder than it sounds)
