Enter, ye of little faith! Back Row at Bank Street starts its new season now. In "A Faithless Franchise" we are covering sequels, prequels and in-between of 1973's The Exorcist. We begin this journey with 2025's Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist, directed by the legendary Paul Schrader. Ab and Al actually like this movie a lot and agree that it is thematically very rich. We talk Calvinism, Catholicism, Colonialism and CGI hyenas. Is it scary? Is it worthy of the brand name "Exorcist"? Does anyone else see what we see in it? Listen and let us know what you think!

Back Row at Bank Street has hit the brakes on the Blood Drive! And what better vampire movie to end this season than... Twilight? Unfortunately, yes. Have a seat, grab some Swig, and listen to us discuss bad prose and bad screenwriting, this movie's bizarre premise, and how it all relates to a certain theological point of view. We also talk about moral panics and the messages this movie may or may not be imparting. Is there a perfect vampire boyfriend out there?

We've had a blast on the Blood Drive road trip through vampire movies, and we hope you did too. We will probably pull the stake out of its heart and return to a vampire cinema/TV season soon.

Welcome to the episode of The Blood Drive that's sooooo five minutes ago! Well more like 33 years ago. We are talking about 1992's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. We discuss the legendary cast of this very light confection, and it's surprisingly good soundtrack. Are California teens America's teens? We even leave some room to honor the vastly superior television series.
