Top 5 Pontius Pilates

Hardcore Alternate Ending heads will remember one of our signature moments early in the life of the podcast was a baffling “Who’s On First” style catastrophe of a discussion that swirled around the fact that Pontius Pilate, historical Roman governor of Judaea and major figure in the Christian Gospels, has a name that can be misinterpreted as sounding like he’s an airplane pilot. One person who definitely remembered that affair was Patreon subscriber Gavin, who has forced us into a reckoning with our past in the form of his selection for our next podcast topic: our picks for the top 5 representations of Pontius Pilate in movies. Or whatever the almighty hell Carrie comes up with instead. It will, if nothing else, surely prove to be one of our most offbeat episodes ever. Tune in!
