The Pod and the Pendulum

This week we've got four hosts on hand to talk the fourth entry in the Omen franchise. Coincidence or the work of the Devil? You decide.
We break down this 1991 FOX made-for-television reboot of the franchise. With a gender swapped AntiChrist, hopes were high the fledgling network could use their deep film archives to entice viewers to the small screen. Unfortunately, the less than stellar results here, with muted violence and a script that mirrors the beats of the original to a degree that leaves you wondering "Why am I not watching the 1976 movie instead?" killed that idea in its infancy.

Enjoy this preview of Mike and Nichole's discussion on A24's latest horror offering Undertone.

This week Mike and Stephen are on hand to talk politics, the end of the world, and just how hot  young Sam Neill was. That’s right, it’s time for The Omen 3: The Final Conflict. 
As a special bonus, you get to hear the two of us was rhapsodic about the Oscars, which ran the night before. If that’s of no interest to you, feel free to skip ahead to roughly 29:00 into the show.

This week, the only thing worse than a little tyke Anti-Christ is a pre-teen Antichrist. If the Devil doesn't kill you, then hormones surely will! Mike, Nichole and Stephen are on hand to talk about this solid second entry in The Omen franchise, which finds a young Damien at military school when he learns of his destiny as the son of Satan. Featuring an increase in graphic violence, a pair of Academy award winners, and a strong turn from young Johnathan Scott-Taylor as Damien, we found it to be a good sequel to the classic first entry.

IT’S ALL FOR YOU LISTENERS! This week we kick of a new franchise with part two of a two part dive into THE OMEN, a movie that asks, “What if the Antichrist was revealed to be a cherubic five year old boy that also enjoyed cosplaying as AC/DC guitarist Angus Young?”
Stephen, Brian, Nichole and Mike are joined by special guest photographer and filmmaker Rachel Schwebach to talk religious trauma, the history of cult and evil kid cinema, the dreaded Omen curse, what it has in common with 1970s political thrillers, and the twists and turns this one took to make its way to the big screen and become one of the surprise blockbusters of the year.
