Joe DeRosa (Taste Buds, We'll See You in Hell podcasts) joins SJ and Dan to talk about the demonic possession classic The Exorcist. They discuss why this is one of the best movies of all time, Dan and Joe's longtime personal connections to the movie, how the characters' faith and doubts are challenged and exploited by the Devil, the well-documented cursed production, the movie's glowing portrayal of the Catholic Church, which scene they agree is the gnarliest, the conflict between director William Friedkin and writer William Peter Blatty's visions for the film series, and Joe's many gripes with the landscape of horror films today.   The Exorcist (1973)   Directed by William Friedkin Written by William Peter Blatty Starring Ellen Burstyn, Max Von Sydow, Jason Miller, Lee J. Cobb, and Linda Blair   Subscribe at patreon.com/theitcouple for weekly exclusive bonus episodes   Have a question about horror movies?
