Description
VOTE ON A FRANCHISE YOU WANT US TO COVER IN 2026
In the wake of the repeal of Roe vs Wade, it only makes sense that art would reflect the terror women feel in a world increasingly hostile to them, and the increasing loss of their bodily autonomy. In 2024, a pair of movies centered on nuns forced to give birth not only against their will, but also their knowledge were released back-to-back and seemed to be in conversation with one another. Arkasha Stevenson's feature film directorial debut not only improved on Neon's Immaculate, but it also added depth to the film it serves as a prequel for, 1976's The Omen. This week Mike and Stephen are joined by guest Alex Paglicua to break down The First Omen, a film which goes incredibly hard.
