This week on Fabulous Film & Friends we are going to discuss the 2023 film Nefarious, directed by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon and starring Sean Patrick Flanery, Jordan Belfi, Glenn Beck, Tom Ohmer, Daniel Martin Berkey and Reverend Father Darrin Merlino, who was also the Spiritual Advisor on the film and who just happens to be our special guest this week.
We are also joined by series regular Gordon Alex Robertson, who is no stranger to the Good Book and Lovin’ the Lord! Having starred in not one, not two, but three productions of Godspell at Clackamas County Community College in Oregon City, Oregon over a span of thirty years.
Before we plumb the depths! The synopsis:
Nefarius tells the tale of the demon Nefariamus, but you can call him Nefarious, who has inhabited the body of a simple-minded criminal named John Wayne Gacy, make that Edward Wayne Brady and after committing a series of horrific murders while possessed by the demon, is sentenced to death. On the day of the execution in an Oklahoma Penitentiary, state appointed psychiatrist Dr. James Martin, himself a replacement for recently deceased psychiatrist Dr. Alan Fischer, who threw himself out a window at the behest of Nefarious, is tasked with determining if Edward is certifiably insane. What ensues is a clash between a self-confident atheist man of science as he goes up against one of Satan’s psychologically cruel and conniving underlings in an epic duel of wits.
Does it get the job done?
