This week, Willow and I talk about “There’s A Long, Long Trail A-Winding” by Russell Kirk. It’s really good. I mean, I can’t think of much else to say?

Hear the original song!

This week, Willow and I take a look at Lucy Clifford’s “The New Mother.” It’s a creepy little fairy tale that, weirdly enough, is not altogether complete in “The Dark Descent!” That’s right! We have a truncated story! If you’re looking for the complete version, check out “The Anyhow Stories, Moral and Otherwise” online. It’s frustrating!

This week’s reader is Shannon Campe. Check out her website here with a list of all of her projects and appearances including Little Women: A Modern Audio Drama.

Took us long enough, but we’re back! This episode, we look at “Barry Lyndon” everyone’s favorite Kubrick film (apparently)! Is it good? Is it long? Did we cried? We did. BARRY LYNDON!

Oh good. It’s “The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.” Ollie and I watch a movie that I really liked when I was younger and now know I never need to watch ever again. Ollie agrees. So that’s good.

This episode, Ollie and I take a look at one of favorite films of all time and a movie that Ollie culd hardly stand to watch and THEY’RE ARE THE SAME MOVIE. It’s 1974’s “Phantom of the Paradise!” There’s monsters, music and madness and it’s just great. Just super great.

So much has been written about William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s bestselling novel “The Exorcist” that it’s hard to find anything new to say about it. But, Ollie and I talk anyway! We talk a lot! About “The Exorcist!”
