Episode 155 - The Ninth Configuration

Not a Bomb

On this very religious episode of Not A Bomb, the gang welcomes back Jose from Watch/Skip+ to discuss Wiliam Peter Blatty’s 1980 psychological drama - The Ninth Configuration. Known as the second installment in Blatty’s “Fatih Trilogy”, The Ninth Configuration examines the the human psyche, faith, insanity and the “mystery of goodness” in man. The film takes big swings at some big topics, but do they all hit? Does the strong cast save The Ninth Configuration from being too talky and pretentious? And what the heck is up with that bar scene in the third act? Listen and find out who loved this film and who couldn’t get behind this religious thriller.
