#102: The Omen

Now Screaming

It’s all for you, listeners: this week, Liz and Evan take a slight detour from the schedule to tackle a classic about the horrors of parenthood: Richard Donner’s 1976 THE OMEN. They’re accompanied by a couple of extremely special guests with some unique expertise on the subject: their mothers! Join them as they try to reconcile the film’s tonal conflicts, debate whether or not Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar-winning score is any good, and explore why both their moms have such a difficult time engaging with horror as a genre. If you, too, relish in the vulnerability of fear, then be sure to check out nowscreaming.com, and come visit us on Twitter @nowscreaming. Be sure to go to your podcast platform of choice, and seek the old man Bugenhagen. He alone will describe how to review and subscribe.
