Description
Nood's birthday is coming up at the beginning of October so for part of her birthday the crew has agreed to focus on her favourite horror film.   This film has been relentlessly studied and analyzed for nearly 50 years.  It was a commercial success at its 1973 debut and even now remains one of the most controversial films ever released.  Many people were unprepared for the brutal and raw depiction of blasphemy and evil that this film contained.  It was a game changer and we hope you'll enjoy as we celebrate the immortal power of William Friedkin's The Exorcist.Show Highlights:01:00  Prelude to Terror...05:00  Nood's First Viewing...08:00  The Scariest Film Ever?14:40  Iraq...17:45  A Lady and Her Daughter20:10  You're Gonna Die Up There...24:30  Lick Me!27:50  Damian meets The Devil...32:15  Enter Father Merrin...34:30  Holy Battle...38:30  Sacrifice...43:40  Scoring the Film...54:20  Conclusion...Thanks for Listening!
