52: When Desires Turn Devilish (WISHMASTER)

What do you wish for? Welcome to 'Schlock Fest' where we choose hidden gem movies that can help us live a meaningful story. Last up is Nick's pick, a Blockbuster bottom-shelf horror flick called WISHMASTER. We explore how this demon Djinn thrives on making one's desires come true to their own demise. Nick also shares about mimetic theory, along with this schlock's surprising amount of theological substance.
