We watched the classic (?) 1967 Bedazzled. Is this devil bad or just misunderstood? Is the constant risk of sexual assault as funny as they thought it was in the 60s? Let's dive in! (Content warning: discussion of sexual assault in the context of the film's making light of it.) Bedazzled (1967) dir. Stanley Donen Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths
It's my favourite evil triangle this week: the dastardly and charming Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls created by Alex Hirsch can be watched on Disney+ Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

We turn down a dark path this as we talk about Satan in music - specifically the humanist figure of the Devil as evoked in the Swedish post-metal act Ghost.

This Valentine's season we discuss cheerful little cherub with a pink motif: the dastardly Him from Powerpuff Girls. What does he have in common with Santa? What does he teach us about gender signifiers in the 90s? Is he bad because he hates kindergartners? Let's dive in to this devil! Devil: Him from Powerpuff Girls (1998) Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths
What would you do if a Shaitaan came to dinner? We watch the Bollywood movie Shaitaan and discuss the villain and what makes a devil, accompanied by that most unusual of elements: structure! Film: Shaitaan (2024) directed by Vikas Bahl Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths Nick's track had an audio issue that his terrible co-hosts failed to notify him of - so forgive Nick, and vilify the…
We had a blast discussing the very-much-a-product-of-its-time The Devil's Advocate and its dastardly devil as portrayed by Al Pacino. Along the way we discover some of Jordana's peccadilloes and make a startling connection with a certain President of the United States. Devil: John Milton from The Devil's Advocate (1997, dir. Taylor Hackford) Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths
We kick off our new show with a classic devil as we take a close look at All That Money Can Buy (aka The Devil and Daniel Webster). We celebrate the definitive performance by Walter Huston while enjoying a timely conversation about the still-relevant themes of this 1941 film. How can an America struggling under the extractive oppression of the intractably wealthy reckon with its founding ideals of…
Your Pagers are coming back in 2026 for a new miniseries where we answer the question we're all *dying* to know: who's the most diabolical, the best at temptation, the sexiest Satan of all? We're bringing our famous lens to bear on depictions of the devil in media across space and time, and we invite you to join us - if you dare! Catch Sympathy for the Devil right here on the POTW feed starting in…
Unlocking this Patron-exclusive episode since it's relevant to everyone, and we miss you! Earlier this year the Kingkillernet was abuzz with a new rumour, as the forum that Rothfuss uses to communicate with his translators set a new record for concurrent users. We discuss the rumours, the chance of - and our feelings toward - book 3. And we get a few digs in at JJ Abrahms and George Lucas for good…
