Stevenson: things about to get real catholic here
William Peter Blatty: yes.. ha ha YES!!
Stevenson: and even more italian
Lovecraft: Lovecraft: oh uh i don't like that
Stevenson: it's about a moribund religious institution forcing a woman to carry a baby against her will set against the political violence of the years of lead
Alex Garland: why you hafta get all political
Garland: why can't people just make nice films anymore
Stevenson: see the thing about my film is
Stevenson: it engages with the moment
Garland: oh but i prefer a film that doesn't engage with the moment
Garland: hey has anyone here seen adam sandler's you don't mess with the zohan? what a tour de force!! [chef's kiss]
Stevenson: so this american woman goes to rome to become a nun
Stevenson: but what she doesn't realize
Stevenson: is how incredibly italian everything will be
Stevenson: and also its the 70s, which is statistically speaking, the MOST italian time period
Stevenson: like things are SO italian
Lovecraft: [sweats] they can't be THAT italian, right? i mean, it's just
Lovecraft: just a little bit italian right??
Lovecraft: right???
Stevenson: it's smoking nuns level italian
Lovecraft: [sweating intensifies]
Stevenson: but even better, so catholic
William Peter Blatty: yes, yes, i like it!
Stevenson: there's gonna be this one irish priest-
Blatty: that's me
Blatty: that guy is me
Stevenson: and his accent is SO thick
Blatty: that's my OC now
Stevenson: you know what the omen really needed, though?
Stevenson: hot hot devil sex
Barker: that is true
Barker: the omen DID have a severe lack of devil sex
Barker: i noticed that when i watched it, kind of a glaring oversight actually
Stevenson: well, don't worry
Stevenson: we rectify that in this version
Stevenson: we're gonna flash the devil's dick
Blatty: whoa you can't flash the devil's dick!
Barker: yeah, that's right, you really need to linger
Barker: we all want a good look at that
Barker: like, how are we supposed to see anything when you flash it so fast?
Frank Belknap Long: oh it's nothing special, it's just a bad dragon model 57a Willowtongue ® the Ent, 2017 Alt-Porn award winner
Barker:
Stevenson: now we are retconning a few things about the omen
Stevenson: for example, this time damien has a mom
Stevenson: instead of being birthed by a dog
Barker: oh but that was dean's favorite part
Dean Koontz: i wish my mom was a dog :(
Barker: kid just really loves dogs

Midnight Pals: Fox Devils
Sam Richard: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the fox devils
Richard: it's about this kid from a super religious family
Richard: they don't even let him watch cartoons!
Richard: [shaking head] they don't even let him watch cartoons.
Richard: his parents are so religious they think all pop culture is satanic
William Peter Blatty: yes, yes
Blatty: they're right you know
Blatty: that's why i don't sully my brain with any non-catholic entertainment
Blatty: the only thing i watch is pope speeches
Blatty and Cars 2
Richard: his mother says "cartoons" are "a satanic playpen" and "tiny idols"
Richard: and that he needs to be "a warrior for christ"
Barker: why's she talk like that
Richard: like what?
Barker: like a zagat review
Richard: so one day his parents are at bible study
Richard: so he decides to watch a forbidden cartoon
Richard: his parents think that cartoons are satanic, you see
Richard: turns out that they're right
Blatty: i could have told you that
Richard: see, there's this cartoon
Richard: where a bunch of punks finds a satanic grimoire
King: wait, they put a satanic grimoire in a cartoon?
Richard: yes
Richard: really incredible the sort of things they put in cartoons these days
Blatty: yeah this all scans
Richard: and then the kid finds that same satanic grimoire in his local library
Richard: cuz it turns out this town he lives in
Richard: is really cool
Richard: the kid summons all these little fox devils
Richard: who follow him around and kill people
Richard: just a bunch of little guys
Richard: some real little birthday boys
Richard: but the important thing about these little fox demons
Richard: if this was a movie
Richard: we'd be talking some real wet puppets
Roger Corman: yes
Corman: YES
Richard: now the kid's gonna fuck up the evil town reverend
Richard: but the reverend's not important
Richard: what is important is these fox demons
Richard: they are adorable
Richard: you're gonna want one of your very own!
Corman: you know what would be great?
Corman: what if they killed people in really comical ways
Corman: like with a pogo stick or something
Corman: and there could be like
Corman: comical high-pitched chittering on the soundtrack
Charles Band: i like the way roger thinks
