It's an extra-long extra-scary play-along as we are joined by Sascha to play Last Train to Bremen. Four musicians, trying to flee their deal with the Devil, pass the time in their boxcar by playing Liar's Dice. Will they be torn apart by petty grievances and squabbles, or will they rediscover the magic that brought them together and escape their fate? This episode was imagined as a two-parter, but I (Nick) got so into the production that I couldn't bear to break it up.

We watched the classic (?) 1967 Bedazzled. Is this devil bad or just misunderstood? Is the constant risk of sexual assault as funny as they thought it was in the 60s? Let's dive in! (Content warning: discussion of sexual assault in the context of the film's making light of it.) Bedazzled (1967) dir. Stanley Donen Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

It's my favourite evil triangle this week: the dastardly and charming Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls. Gravity Falls created by Alex Hirsch can be watched on Disney+ Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

We feel our age as Jordana hosts our next Devil: Charlie's father, deadbeat dad, lord of Hell, and unwilling patron of the Hazbin Hotel. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

We turn down a dark path this as we talk about Satan in music - specifically the humanist figure of the Devil as evoked in the Swedish post-metal act Ghost. Find Ghost at their website here https://ghost-official.com/ or wherever you listen to music. Songs referenced in the episode: Monstrance Clock Depth of Satan's Eyes Year Zero Square Hammer Call Me Little Sunshine He Is Mary on a Cross The Future is a Foreign Land Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

This Valentine's season we discuss cheerful little cherub with a pink motif: the dastardly Him from Powerpuff Girls. What does he have in common with Santa? What does he teach us about gender signifiers in the 90s? Is he bad because he hates kindergartners? Let's dive in to this devil!

What would you do if a Shaitaan came to dinner? We watch the Bollywood movie Shaitaan and discuss the villain and what makes a devil, accompanied by that most unusual of elements: structure! Film: Shaitaan (2024) directed by Vikas Bahl Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths Nick's track had an audio issue that his terrible co-hosts failed to notify him of - so forgive Nick, and vilify the others.

We had a blast discussing the very-much-a-product-of-its-time The Devil's Advocate and its dastardly devil as portrayed by Al Pacino. Along the way we discover some of Jordana's peccadilloes and make a startling connection with a certain President of the United States. Devil: John Milton from The Devil's Advocate (1997, dir. Taylor Hackford) Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

We kick off our new show with a classic devil as we take a close look at All That Money Can Buy (aka The Devil and Daniel Webster). We celebrate the definitive performance by Walter Huston while enjoying a timely conversation about the still-relevant themes of this 1941 film. How can an America struggling under the extractive oppression of the intractably wealthy reckon with its founding ideals of equality and freedom? The questions are as relevant and the answers as clear as they were when this movie was first released. Devil: Scratch from All That Money Can Buy (1941, dir. William Dieterle) Theme music: Diabolical by melodyayresgriffiths

Your Pagers are coming back in 2026 for a new miniseries where we answer the question we're all *dying* to know: who's the most diabolical, the best at temptation, the sexiest Satan of all? We're bringing our famous lens to bear on depictions of the devil in media across space and time, and we invite you to join us - if you dare! Catch Sympathy for the Devil right here on the POTW feed starting in January 2026. Hail Satan!

Unlocking this Patron-exclusive episode since it's relevant to everyone, and we miss you! Earlier this year the Kingkillernet was abuzz with a new rumour, as the forum that Rothfuss uses to communicate with his translators set a new record for concurrent users. We discuss the rumours, the chance of - and our feelings toward - book 3. And we get a few digs in at JJ Abrahms and George Lucas for good measure.

The Pagers sign off (for the time being) with a personal retrospective of how this project has changed their lives. We also take questions from the listeners who joined us for the live stream, read the final mail from the Mailbag, and let everyone know what's coming next. Outro music: Since You Been Gone by Rainbow

Auri rests atop the roofs, waiting for her friend. We talk about what Nate Taylor’s illustration process might be, the odd perspective in the picture, and what the illustration does with time. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!

Auri thinks of what she’ll do for Kvothe. We talk about the sinister turn these thoughts might be taking, uncover what might be a new crackpot theory, and question what Auri’s knowledge of the Ciridae might mean. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com Join the community on Discord at https://discord.gg/tCZc6kXQcg If you like the show, tell a friend!
