"The death ship has a new captain!"
To celebrate the release of Robert Eggers' remake of Nosferatu, the guys decided to cover the original classic, in a slight deviation from the Catholic Legion of Decency "condemned" list. The film was released in the US in 1929, seven years after it's Berlin premiere, but it was still too early to be OFFICIALLY condemned by the American Catholic ratings system. However, being that Nosferatu is both the FIRST occult film AND one of the rare films to grace the Vatican's top 40 films list, it only seemed appropriate to cover it this month. Joining hosts Bill and Cisco, is the associate producer of the Chicago Horror Film Festival and film presenter, Stephanie Sack. Stephanie invited the boys down to Chicago, from Milwaukee, to take in a live accompaniment to Nosferatu by famed lutist Jozef van Wissem.
Deviations include eating unconsecrated communion wafers with cheese, fake Eucharistic miracles, host desecration, that time Bill ran into a family of Bulgarians roasting an entire sheep, Catholic scapegoating of minorities, goth club visuals, and, of course, SpongeBob SquarePants.
