I'm not posting it due to some earth-shattering nature, just that I'm half way through it right now, it's pretty good so far, and I'm posting it for anyone interested. It's a bit belief-specific, I won't say atheists absolutely will want nothing to do with it (some might be ancient history scholars) but this is really a text vs text video - ie. Da Vinci Code vs Nag Hammadi gospels cited in Da Vinci Code as well as a discussion of on-the-ground issues between early Christian orthodoxy vs. Gnostic groups. In that sense at least it's a pretty interesting topic in that it goes beyond the Da Vinci Code fallacies and also offers insightful and well thought out challenge to the notion that Gnosticism was somehow the 'real' Christianity that got suppressed by some male patriarchical barbarism of early Christian orthodoxy.
So for anyone whose geek enough:
