"It's a bit like The Beatles..."
Returning after a long delay, Dan, Stella, Ian and (in a surprise telephone cameo) Howard commence their latest series with a discussion of 1976's The Omen, the first in a series of retrospectives on The Omen Trilogy, inspired by the fact that all three films (plus the 2006 remake of the original) are now on Disney+. (However, Omen IV: The Awakening, 1991's forgotten TV movie continuation, is nowhere to be seen, and won't be discussed.)
Go to Disney+ to watch the 1976 film and the remake, both discussed here.
To watch's Dan's short film Terror of the Many-Coloured Slinky (2003), go here.
Like that film (and, indeed, The Omen), this episode is absolutely lathered in the gorgeous musical score of composer Jerry Goldsmith, conducted by Lionel Newman, just for fun. No copyright infringement is intended, of course.
Kirsty will be back in our next episode, which will focus on Mike Barker's Midnight Mass.
