Forbidden Cinema 69 - Angel Heart

"Sixty Nine, Dudes!"

Can you believe we have made it this many episodes.  This week we start Spooky Season 2022 off with a bang with the 1987 flick, Angel Heart.  This movie stars Mickey Rourke and features a fresh off The Cosby Show Lisa Bonet.  Also Robert Deniro is in this for only a small role, but steals the entire movie.

This thing has it all.  There are gruesome killings, steamy sex, trippy religious hallucinations, spooky nuns, voodoo, New Orleans, Harlem in the 50s, so much smoking, black magic, and more.  On top of that it is a really well crafted thriller that has obviously influenced other films we love.  This was rated X in a time before NC-17 and earned it.

There are twists and turns all over this flick, so if you ever plan on watching it, hold off on the podcast until you finish it.
