Greetings Horror Fans!  For our 145th episode we're spotlighting a new Australian film from the Cairnes Bros.  This is an excellent example of independent horror being done correct.  This movie has masterful performances and an authentic retro 70s style that delivers a tense and fascinating faux reality experience.  We cannot remember another film that made us want to press play on it again right away.  We hope you enjoy our Horror 101 Treatment of Late Night with the Devil, starring David Dastmalchian.Show Hightlights:01:00  Prelude to Terror...06:35  Setting up for Late Night...13:40  Michael Ironside narrating!16:40  The 70s emulation is superb...19:40  Christou...26:25  Carmichael Haig...28:35  Unmarried Man with a Wedding Ring...31:35  The Cult of Abraxas...34:10  Lilly and Dr. June...40:05  Mr. Wriggles...44:25  Mass Hypnosis...47:50  Reviewing the Tape...50:30  Armageddon...53:30  So It Is Done...58:30  Scoring the Film...71:30  Conclusion!  Thanks for Listening!
