Continuing our Exorcist "coverage" (like we're journalists or something), Leighton (that's me!) and Jory talk about The Exorcist III: Legion, directed by the GOAT William Peter Blatty. Coming off of one of the (alleged) worst sequels of all time, this one might be one of the best (allegedly). We also talk about Christopher Nolan and being pretentious hypocrites. Witness peak neuroticism without Brian to keep us in check with manufactured hostility. And visit our Patreon for a full audio commentary to watch along with! Do you hate ads but love this show?

We're back with another MOVIE CLUB! This time we're discussing a film heralded as the worst sequel of all time: John Boorman's Exorcist II: The Heretic. Is it really as bad as everyone says? Does it contain hidden depths? Did they seriously make a 17 year old Linda Blair do all that? Listen and find out! Brian talks about the new documentary on the making of the film Boorman and the Devil, and Jory was only ten minutes late. We'll be covering Exorcist III next week, so do your homework for context. Also because it's the absolute best.
We even get another cameo from Rachel Wecht on this one! Our cups runneth over!

You're coming at me with a really hostile attitude about this and I'm gonna need you to chill. Just listen to the episode and calm down, jeez.

GUNTERS. WE RETURN. It's part two of our coverage of Ready Player Two with special guest Chris Grace (@chrisgracecomedy), and this is the episode where we get into the real nitty gritty of what makes this book so particularly egregious by reading out loud some of the worst it has to offer. Judge for yourself. It's a blast, please check it out, and whatever you do: don't read this book.
