THE FIRST OMEN (part 2 of 2)

from The Pod and the Pendulum · host Mike Snoonian

Mike and Stephen are joined by guest Alex Paglicua for the second half of our episode on THE FIRST OMEN. This time we're diving into the text and themes of the movie with an exploration of how scandals shifted our views of the Catholic Church and forced them into a more antagonistic role. We discuss the film in the context of other tragedies that befell children unfortunate enough to be placed in Catholic orphanages while also tackling the fantastic horror elements Arkasha Stevenson brought to the table.
