The Bloody Pulpit

Raiders of the Podcast

This week Anna, who has been away far too long for anyone's liking, returns for a pair of films about men who are not what they appear too be while hiding in plain sight.

Christine Faber's husband is dead. He is dead and buried. So why is she hearing his voice call to her across the beach? Dashing out into the night the investigate, Christine runs into Alexis. Alexis claims to be a real psychic medium and able to help her put her ghosts to rest. Fearing she is being taken advantage of Christine's fiancé, Paul, and her sister, Janet, decide to uncover her new friend as a fraud. Will they be able to expose a charlatan preying on a still grieving widow? Can Alexis deliver on his promise of respite from the ghost haunting her? Will this web of deceit and psychological torture be untangled before Christine meets a ghastly ghoulish ending? A classic noir from a blacklisted director with one of the genre's favorite femme fatales, The Amazing Mr. X (aka The Spiritualist).
After being left by her lover, Jenny makes the mistake of going to see her old friend turned Catholic priest Bernard at his church. Tragically, the ear hearing her confession of jilted romance and coerced abortion is not that of her old friend but elderly Father Meldrum. Meldrum, a fervent believer in the concept of divine justice, decides to nurture and guide Jenny in a way he has done many times before. How far can Meldrum push before anyone will help Jenny? Who do you turn to when no one will believe your desperate pleas for help? An overlooked shocker from one of England's most beloved cult filmmakers, Pete Walker, is a cold-blooded film about how those in power can use their position to harm with impunity- House of Mortal Sin.
All that and Dave unburdens himself to a terrifying degree (off mic), Kevin has flashbacks to his days harassing vicars in the Highlands, and Anna wonders why they agreed to be dragged back into this mess. Join us, won't you?
