The First Omen (2024)

Thank Satan It’s Friday!! That’s right, we’re worshiping at the altar of THE FIRST OMEN!! Say what? “You two liked a prequel?” Yes, a listener who I just invented, WE DID!! Folks, strap in your headgear for an initiation to end all initiations (Sorry, 1984’s The Initiation) as we talk 1971 Rome, listen to the Devil’s Disco, dissect the Church’s “big plan,” consider demonic honeymoon suites, engage in jackal pillow talk, and that’s all before we join the secret cabal of director Arkasha Stevenson and star Nell Tiger Free!! All this, plus we dig into the layered political threads of the film, the horrors of pregnancy, how this movie is at its best when it’s not trying to be an OMEN prequel and a dazzling edition of Choose Your Own Deathventure!! Oh, and we make a commitment to seeing Death Pool - The Pool That Eats. So this is a must-listen, people!!

Om Podcasten

In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.
