wacky races but every team represents a religious pantheon
they race across an impossible phantasmagoric landscape at the behest of a sinister prime mover
grand prize is the contract for soul harvest (and implicitly, objective reality in human world) for all time
played part for laughs, part as profound metaphysics inspired by ws burroughs' stories about egyptian souls
anubis has a muttley laugh
jesus strangely resembles burt reynolds; john the b just like dom deluise

also i think it's much funnier if anubis is played absolutely straight in every other way, noble and unswerving (literally, it's a damn car race) and utterly terrifying in his motorist gloves and helmet -- but once every 5 or 6 episodes he snickers at something and out comes muttley

@zebratron2084 Something something rival shamans fighting to a standstill? Might as well br a big flashy race instead. :-)
See also: Speed Racer, or Redline, or any number of rediculous racing films. :-P

(this is also partially inspired by Syfy's "Blood Drive" which is not good necessarily but is far far more entertaining than a basic cable series that's a homage to grindhouse films had ANY right to be)
