Most of these are in the $8 range, although some like The Passion are up to $15(for the special edition). I should mention that many of the DVDs on this page are not Christian, and some are downright anti-Christian & anti-intelligence (ie. What the Bleep do we Know?), so don't take this as a blanket recommendation. However, I can highly recommend The Agony and the Ecstasy the fantastic film about Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It stars Charlton Heston as Michaelangelo and Rex Harrison as Pope Julius II. Heston is awesomely crazy, and Harrison is exasperated by mad painter who, if Harrison can force him to actually work, will paint the greatest painting of all history.
Mel Gibson's 'The Passion of the Christ' reviewed by the last two Christian's on the planet who had never seen the film. It's about the final 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ. Maybe you've heard of Him. So ready your sticks and stones and give it a listen!
We have a special guest this week, as Jon is training for a trip overseas. Our mutual friend/hetero-lifemate Justin, a history major focusing on the Greeks and Romans, joins me with some great historical commentary on the film. Justin is about the most clean cut guy you'll ever meet... and harbors an odd fascination with epic power metal. It takes different strokes people...
It's THE PASSION so what else can I say in this little blurb? Music, news and more...

Notes:
The audio was jacked up AGAIN on this episode, and for that I apologize. A defrag of my hard drive is upcoming! As is the purchase of a new computer... eventually! I didn't think it was as bad this time, or at least not bad enough to redo the whole show. We now have affiliate links all set up though! So YOU can help us buy a new microphone just by using the links! For example... you click on our Amazon link to the right... and buy anything after clicking that link (not just DVDs) and we get a small kickback. If you dig the show, feel free to use the links as it's been all no-budget so far. Maybe I'll eventually pick up a grammar book and actually make some sense.
Here's another link to NewReleaseTuesday.com. No, they're not paying us to promote them, I just REALLY love the site! You get free stuff, just for blogging about your favorite bands and making friends and what not. You can also find lots of music news, forums, interviews, blog posts, artist details, album reviews and much more.What's not to like? The people running it seem to be really kind and enthusiastic, so please check out the site and tell them the SuperCandid Podcast sent you! They'll have no idea what you're talking about.

Jon wanted these included... and I can't blame him... taken with a sense of humor, they're pretty good. Also, Jon will be blogging about his take on 'The Passion...' in the near future. Stay tuned.

Listener Feedback: An anonymous listener commented on our last show, specifically about the Chick track 'Angels?' that Jon mentioned. Apparently, there is a film called 'Hot Chicks' that is a series of 9 Chick tracts... brought to life! It looks hilarious... so much so that I already ordered a copy. I'm sure you'll hear more about the film here in the future... in the meantime, a link!

Golden Calf! Justin chose 'Unia' by Sonata Arctica, which as he mentioned, twice, has gone GOLD IN FINLAND! And some game called 'Halo 3'... never heard of it.
And Don's mixture of HD-DVD goodness... The Host, 300 and Hot Fuzz.
