5: OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL

This week Matt and Scott grab their planchette and commune with the spirits of Ouija: Origin of Evil, Mike Flanagan's 2016 prequel to a very successful and very bad film.We chat about Flanagan's remarkable job at taking a silly concept and making a great film out of it, his commitment to making a period film, and his powerful writing.Next week we're switching gears and setting our sights on Stephen King as we read the first 8 chapters of King's Gerald's Game in preparation to visit Flanagan's movie.Discussion Question: What is one prequel that you found was surprisingly better than the original?This show will be posting our podcast to YouTube in video format so subscribe if you want to see our beautiful faces: https://www.youtube.com/@DoofMediaCheck out the show schedule: https://tinyurl.com/244c4ejmGet Merch: https://doofmedia.myshopify.com/Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/doofmediaStay updated with Kingslingers: https://bsky.app/profile/flanaganswakepod.bsky.socialMessage us at [email protected] music created by Matt Freeman
