288: Late Night With the Devil (ad free)
Added 2024-06-04 11:05:18 +0000 UTCJoin us as we tune in our trusty old 14-inch TV set and stay up past our bedtime to watch Late Night With the Devil. This is a 2023 Australian horror film by the Cairnes brothers that perfectly captures the weirdness of both 1970s television and the era’s obsession with the occult. It’s also a rare horror film that all three of us enjoyed, albeit with some reservations.
As ever, we pick through the film in detail, looking for possible inspiration for our games. Be warned that we will spoil the hell out of it.
