Summary
Co-Hosts Dr. Jess Sellin-Blanc and Bill ”Netherlands” Holland are joined again by Tif Robinette for part two of our series on The First Omen (2024), focusing on the film’s third act, religious horror themes, and connections to the larger Omen franchise. They get into the film’s cinematography, the obvious influence of Andrzej Żuławski’s Possession, and the way director Arkasha Stevenson blends psychological horror, Catholic horror, and themes of bodily autonomy, pregnancy, and church control. The conversation also turns toward modern politics, the Antichrist as a political figure, and why certain strains of reactionary Catholicism seem less concerned with morality than with defeating secular culture at any cost.
