The Crow franchise deep-dive caw-caws its last caw-caw as we wrap up the series with the absolutely terrible fourth entry, WICKED PRAYER. This is the second straight-to-video sequel. Andrew Overbye of the Authorized Novelizations podcast returns to The New Flesh podcast (for his first ever appearance), and frankly, this episode acts great as a crossover, as we discuss the differences between the novelization and the movie at great length! Shout out to all our fans on Patreon that I jokingly...

The 56-years-late ROSEMARY'S BABY sequel APARTMENT 7A is streaming now on Paramount Plus, but it simply wasn't good enough to justify making it the main-feed episode this week, so we're dropping the much-anticipated episode on THE CROW: SALVATION aka THE CROW 3 instead. Or did Jesse just not watch it yet, and we'll cover it later? Maybe! Regardless, it's his birthday today, so wish him a happy one!
