  "textContent": "[caption id=\"attachment_161334\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"680\"] Stacy Clausen and Joe Bird in LEVITICUS - Courtesy Everett Collection[/caption] LEVITICUS is the new Australian horror movie that turns (already quite frightening) gay conversion rituals into something even more haunting. And with us to unpack it is our friend Justin Kirkland, who just happens to have a new podcast exploring (with good humor!) how the Bible has been yielded as a weapon. Then we imagine some classic romances with a devilish twist. **What's Good?** Alonso - UDM14.com Drea - Bentonville Film Festival 2026!
