Zombie Last Supper

Popped Culture, Suddenly Last Supper:

“There’s nothing like a couple thousand years of of repetition and an iconic painting by an Old Master to get story to get lodged inside the heads of the creators of pop culture. Leonardo da Vinci’s 15th century depiction of Jesus announcing that one of his 12 disciples would betray him is so iconic that it has been co-opted by those wishing to give weight to their parodies, tributes and caricatures. What I find interesting is who gets portrayed as Christ and who gets to be his Judas.”
