    Mark Goodacre on The Last Supper
    [This is the 2025 film NOT The Chosen: Last Supper]

    Screen grab of close up of Jesus from the film. He is fairly white looking and has very long brown hair
    There's a such a lot of attention on The Chosen: Last Supper (as the special cinematic release of episodes 1 and 2 of The Chosen have been called), that I'd missed the fact that another, evangelical / faith-based Jesus film is showing in cinemas at the moment. At least it is in the US. I'm not sure we will get the opportunity over here in the UK.

    Anyway, my friend Prof. Mark Goodacre who has been discussing Jesus movies for even longer than I have, got to saw it yesterday and as he also runs his own podcast NT Pod, he's done a special episode reviewing it.

    It will reach all the usual platforms in due course, but for now you can find it on the NT Pod page:

    NT Pod 109: The Last Supper (2025)

    Mark's done a few other podcasts on Jesus films before so if you some how haven't discovered his podcast before you might also like the following episodes:

    NT Pod 72: Son of God Movie
    NT Pod 74: Jesus The Movie (1999)
    NT Pod 75: The Passion (BBC, 2008)
    NT Pod 93: From Juvencus to Jesus Christ Superstar
    NT Pod 101: 100 Bible Films: In Conversation with Matthew Page (me!)

      I had no idea that Dr. Goodacre, an excellent scholar, has a podcast. Thanks for mentioning it here.

      Oh you are in for a treat then! He's actually one of the longest standing biblical scholars podcasters, having started back in 2009. There are over 100 episodes there now, and while the odd one is very niche, it's an excellent primer in NT studies.
