DeMille's classic film Samson and Delilah, available from Amazon streaming.  It makes more sense than the Biblical account, and young Angela Landsbury is surprisingly hot, I must say.  Even better looking than the ravishing Hedy Lamarr (who plays her younger sister, despite being older than her).

Episode 0007: Alabama's Coal Powered Jebus!

I want to do a big thank you and shout out to Noah Ludgeons and the gang over at The Scathing Atheist podcast.  They were kind enough to give me a plug, so if you're listening to me, but not listening to them, you should probably start listening to them.  Unlike me, they're actually funny on purpose.
