Summary
Would you sell your soul for your art? This week Mike is joined by Anna Bogutskaya to discuss satanic Hollywood satire STARRY EYES, then he's joined by Zobo With A Shotgun and Dan Martin to discuss satanic black metal band biopic LORDS OF CHAOS. Warning…these films are not for the faint of heart.
