In this episode I talk with Dr Chris Deacy, Reader in Theology and Religious Studies, about his research on religion and film - touching on cinema-going as a quasi-religious practice, redemption in film, and movies about Jesus such as Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ and Gibson's The Passion of the Christ. Chris also discusses how films such as The Exorcist and Taxi Driver might tell us something about people's engagement with religion or theology.
