Swimfans

Grab your vestments and rosaries and come join us talking about positively medieval medical footage, the power of juxtaposing the infernal with the banal, and the impact of possibly the most societally relevant movie of the past half century in 1973's THE EXORCIST!

Get mashed into paste with us as we continue our Bloodbath journey talking the joys of puppets, technically incredible visions of hell and recurrence, and the romance of a passion project made manifest in 2021's MAD GOD!
