The Clash (s5e6) – The Jesus Tapes Episode

In this groundbreaking special episode of The Clash, hosts Jeff Dixon and Chris Whaley host the world premiere of the trailer for the highly anticipated film, The Jesus Tapes. Joining them are writer-director Rick Pamplin and producers Maggie Pamplin and Scott DuPont to discuss a cinematic journey nearly 50 years in the making. Inspired by a 1977 conversation with Talia Shire and the Coppola family, Rick Pamplin reveals the intense spiritual and professional battle required to bring this story to life—including his dramatic resignation from the Directors Guild of America to protect the film's integrity. Described as "The Blair Witch Project meets The Passion of the Christ," the movie is built upon the 1927 book The Complete Sayings of Jesus Christ, focusing exclusively on the 33,000 words spoken by Jesus without the filter of man-made rules or denomination. The creators share chilling behind-the-scenes accounts of how the lead actor seemingly "channeled" the Messiah on set, leaving even skeptical crew members in awe. This is not just a movie premiere; it is a call to return to the core, unfiltered message of Christ in a culture of noise and skepticism. Discover why this film is being called a "God thing" for 2026 and how it aims to bypass the "merchandising of religion" to reach a world hungry for truth. #TheJesusTapes #WorldPremiere #TheClash #FaithInFilm #RickPamplin #IndependentCinema #JesusChrist #ChristianWorldview #TheJesusRevolution #UnfilteredGospel #CinemaForGod #ModernMessiah
