Get Past the Messy (THE AMITYVILLE HORROR [1979])
Update: 2023-07-24
Description
Please join us in wishing a happy house-warming to our host Nick Leamy! Nick detailed some of the home-buying headaches he and his family were dealing with back in our SPOOKIES episode, but that's all been settled and everyone's settling into a lovely new home.
To celebrate this, we asked Nick to pick a movie to celebrate and he chose the original THE AMITYVILLE HORROR (1979), from director Stuart Rosenberg and starring Margot Kidder, James Brolin and Rod Steiger. Our opinions run a pretty wide spectrum on this one, which made for a fun discussion and we really hope everyone enjoys listening!
Also, as mentioned in the episode's intro, with the current WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes ongoing we highly encourage everyone to consider donating to the Entertainment Community Fund to help those affected by work stoppages:
