Necromancer

Part 1 of 2. Bret and Shira descend the nine circles of hell to meet their next subject: the devil. The duo may not care for his arithmetic but they are fans of Satan’s film appearances. Up first is Shira’s pick, Bedazzled. If there’s one thing the prince of darkness loves as much as sinnin’, […]

Part 2 of 2. The necromancers are here to remind you that they are ending the theme of breakups. It may have been seven hours and 15 days since you took your love away but it’s not too late to turn back time at The Broken Hearts Gallery. Shira’s pick has an interesting answer to […]

Part 1 of 2. It must of been love but it’s over now so the necromancers are looking back to where it all went wrong. That’s right. The theme is break ups! Bret and Shira leave town on the Heartbreak Express. Their first stop: Cold War era Berlin for Bret’s pick, Possession (1981). Sam Neill […]

Part 2 of 2. The devil has Georgia covered so Bret and Shira go down to Louisiana instead to finish off their country tour. Up next is Bret’s pick, Southern Comfort, a Southern cautionary tale of what happens when you run afoul of Cajuns in the swamp. Come for the crawfish and then stay for […]

Part 1 of 2. The necromancers wind up way down yonder on the Chattahoochee exploring this week’s theme: country!

Who’s afraid of Jane Austen? Not Bret and certainly not Shira’s ghoulfriend Dr. Heather King. Heather helps the necromancers get to the bottom of Jane’s addiction to comedies of manners and the romance community’s addiction to her. Heather’s pick, Northanger Abbey, also proves that Miss Austen knows a thing or two about remixing genres in […]

Bret and Shira are back! In honor of a listener’s donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the necromancers let them pick the theme: anime about 1960’s Japan. If there’s one takeaway from Japan’s “golden 60s,” it’s that girls with pigtails run the world full stop. Between Umi in From Up on Poppy Hill and […]

Ghoulfriend Jessica Jastrzebski stops by Necromancer to cover her favorite movie Aliens. Bret’s love of scifi is well established at this point and Shira is ready to invite Jessica back anytime she wants to talk about badass female heroes. There’s something for everyone in this episode. But it wouldn’t be Necromancer without some rom com […]

Part 2 of 2. The necromancers exorcise any remaining spirits as they finish up the theme of possession. Up next is Shira’s pick, All of Me. Steve Martin may not want any part of the ghost of Lily Tomlin but will Bret say no to all of her? Listen to find out and then stick […]

Part 1 of 2. The necromancers get inside movies about possession. Bret’s movie Fallen is first. Will the duo have the strength to keep the demons away from Denzel Washington or will Shira have sympathy for the devil? Listen to find out and as always, stick around for the romance remixes.
