In the fourth episode of Lox Romana, Serena and Samantha get together with Joe Kassabian of Lions Led by Donkeys to discuss Kingdom of Heaven, the theology and history of the Crusades, and the way that historical narratives of the Crusades are distorted.

In the third episode, Samantha gets back at Serena-Joan by showing her Everything is Illuminated, a movie following Jonathan Safran Foer as he seeks out the remnants of his genealogical history in Ukraine, only to get a surprise education in the Holocaust By Bullets alongside his tour guides. This becomes a jumping-off point to discuss the Holocaust as something which shapes modern Jewish life and culture.

In this brutal second episode, Serena-Joan Klapecki subjects her friend to the Passion of the Christ, an avant-garde snuff-film by the coveted 'should have been awarded Antisemite of the Year award but the ADL are a bunch of Zionist hacks' award, Mel Gibson.
