Nick and Glenn discuss the legend of Faust in Classic Film and Opera along with audio clips.  Films include: "The Devil and Daniel Webster,"(19th century-America) "Bedazzled," ( the mod 1960's of London) "Damn Yankees," (based on the Broadway Musical Comedy) and "Rosemary's Baby." (New York City 1968)  

In Opera: "Faust," by Gounod, "Mefistofele," by Boito, and "La Damnation of Faust," by Berlioz.  

They wrap it up with a bit of social commentary on Faust in the 21st Century and the probable criteria to sell one's soul in the millenial age.
