Episode description
Hello friends and familiars! Summer is in full force making us all hot, sweaty and tired—so what better way to celebrate than with William Friedkin's thriller Sorcerer. This 1977 action thriller has gained quite the reputation in the last decade or two, but is it worth the re-evaluation? We talk about the politics of Friedkin, the faith story that might be presented, and much, much more as we get Sorcerer to the analysis table.
