The First Omen (2024) Part 1: The Anti-Christ Goes to the Disco (ft. Tif Robinette) | Filthy Habits
About this episode
Bill and Jess discuss The First Omen with guest Tif Robinette, exploring themes of horror, politics, and societal issues in the context of the film.
Bill and Jess are joined by horror author and screenwriter Tif Robinette for the first of a two part discussion on The First Omen. What starts as a conversation about the newest entry in the Omen franchise turns into a much larger discussion about Italy in the 1970s, institutional power, the antichrist, apocalypse, conspirituality, and what this films does to differentiate itself, while still being part of an iconic horror franchise. The episode covers the Years of Lead and the atmosphere of political violence hanging over the period the film is trying to recreate, along with discussions of mother and baby homes, bodily autonomy, and the way the film approaches pregnancy and body horror.
