This episode has one of my favorite throwaways in Simpsons history, with a couple of Hare Krishnas getting off the airplane in India, being greeted by guys in blue suits singing hymns with an electric keyboard, and one of Krishnas's disdainfully saying, "Great, Christians."

It's a ridiculously weird cast; Swayze, Neeson, Paxton, Baldwin, Helen Hunt, Michael Pollard, Ben Stiller, Andreas Katsulas (the one-armed-man from The Fugitive); I met Katsulas at a con once and complimented his work in the movie and he laughed, saying there was one Chicagoan at every con who brings up the movie when…

Portia de Rossi, under appreciated comic actress of the past decade?

But man, his second appearance is one of the greatest damn shocks.  I went in totally blind and jumped out of my seat when he appeared in the mirror.

I adore how Bowie plays Pilate; this isn't a big part of his day. Nations won't rise and fall on this.  Talking with and condemning this rebel is simply a entry on his schedule and then he'll go have lunch.

God, that Different Drum track they use for the march on Jerusalem.

No no, that makes sense.
