Episode 150 - Damien: Omen II

It’s that time again: time to get into the sequel of another classic. For this one we get to know an adolescent spawn of satan and all the angst that comes with that ever-so-challenging period in our lives when we hate our dads, fight with our friends, suffer the awkward changes of puberty, and systematically murder anyone who might threaten our standing as the Prince of Darkness positioning themselves for world domination through generational wealth. Anywho, “Damien: Omen II” had all the spectacle of a bigger and better sequel with its elaborate deaths, but maybe fell a little short with the interstitial story moments between kills. Nonetheless, Ryan couldn’t resist giving it a “buy” while Tim was a “stream”.
