A wildly surreal, irreverent Western parody that uses scatological humor and Christ-allegory to interrogate meaning and redemption through deliberate absurdity.

A parable based on the life of Christ. This ain't your father's Bible story, full of references about the destruction of the world through massive constipation and a New Mexican setting.
