The end of the Warrens, The Conjuring Franchise, and our Franchise series, Rick and Trav come out of retirement to cover Michael Chaves' last chapter for Ed and Lorraine Warren in The Conjuring: Last Rites.  More haunted hospital visits, some scary mirrors, Father Gordon praise, and chickens running amok at birthday parties; we cover it all.

The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025)

Sometimes you just have to lift up and celebrate murderers - Rick and Trav continue their deep dive into the Conjuring franchise in preparation for the release of Last Rites, by covering The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021).  We chat about the switch to Michael Chaves at Director, dubious legal defense strategies, how far one can take "based on a true story", and waterbeds.

Rick and Trav continue our Franchise Series in preparation for the release of THE CONJURING: LAST RITES (9/5/25), as we hop across the pond and investigate James Wan's THE CONJURING 2 (2016).  We cover appropriate London montage music, ventriloquists, flooded basements, and litigate more case files of Ed and Lorraine Warren.
