#Shocktober2019 continues with a look at Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby (1968). Based very faithfully on the book by Ira Levin, the film stars Mia Farrow as the titular Rosemary who, with her husband Guy (John Cassavetes) move to a new apartment in New York where some strange things play out.

Suzen Tekla Kruglinska and Kat Ellinger join Mike to talk about this seminal film as well as its made-for-TV sequel movie, unrelated sequel book, and TV remake.

Episode 134: Mr. Freedom (1968)

Special Guest: Alison Smith
Guest Co-Hosts: Phil Hall

William Klein's Mr. Freedom (1968) skewers jingoistic patriotism. It's an incredible parody of superheroes and the Military Industrial complex.

Our guest co-host, Phil Hall, is the author of The Greatest Bad Movies of All Time from BearManor Media.

We fight for freedom, for one and for all! It's you-and-me-dom, and ten foot tall!
