The film grossed over $26 million dom...

Tonight on Sessions, Radulich in Broadcasting Network steps away from film analysis and into confession. “Living Is the Sentence” was born from our deep dive into moral accountability and consequence — not as abstract theory, but as lived reality.

Fra Diavlo’s Recipes for the Damned started as a joke — what if we made a death metal record where the lyrics were just someone reading a recipe? We couldn’t lift actual recipes for copyright reasons, so instead we wrote original lyrics structured like instructions and twisted them into brutality. That’s how you get titles like “Gnocchi Guillotine,” “Boil the Priest,” “Mince the Heretic,” and “Sou...
