About this episode

This episode discusses the film 'The Devil Rides Out' and its evolving reputation over time.

Upon its UK release in July 1968, The Devil Rides Out did not exactly set the world on fire and did even worse when it made it to the US, but sometimes the world simply needs time to catch up with art. Now it's generally considered to be one of the crown jewels of Hammer although opinions may still differ to this day... Adam is the ringleader in this Circus Maximus of an episode that covers a certain Sir, Satan, Scribbling, and Skateboarding. Those of a nervous or God fearing disposition, you have been warned... “The House Of Hammer Theme” by Cev Moore Logo by Richard Wells All the links you think you’ll need & more! https://linktr.ee/househammerpod
