Billed as “The 80’s Hair Band Music Comedy You’ve Been Saving Yourself For,” Electric Jesus is making its way across the country, appearing at film festivals and special screenings. On this episode, we visit with writer/producer Chris White, and composer of both the original songs and the score, Daniel Smith. We also go back to last summer and visit the set of the film to talk with cast members, including Brian Baumgartner (a.k.a Kevin Malone from The Office) and the rest of the key actors.

Along the way, we talk about the strange beauty of failure and the difference between propaganda and art that explores the nature of faith. We also give you an advance listen to a lot of the new music from the film, including a brand new track from Steve Taylor and the Danielson Foil!
