Episode 324: Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Ninth Gate (1999)

This week on the Talk Without Rhythm Podcast I'm continuing on my exploration of Satanic Cinema with two offerings from Roman Polanski: 1968's Rosemary's Baby and 1999's The Ninth Gate. And since Roman Polanski is a...controversial figure in the history of cinema (what with the time he drugged and raped a 14 year-old girl) I'll be revisiting an old yet still evolving conversation about the cognitive dissonance that results from admiring the art of a terrible human being.
