Episode 11: THE EXORCIST (1973)

The boys are back in town with their latest spooky season offering of William Friedkin's 1973 demonic possession film THE EXORCIST. In this episode of THE SEAT STRUCK MOVIE PODCAST, Quinn, John, and Curtis take a look at (and avoid the pea soup!) their favourite scenes in the film, the symbolism, characters, themes, Catholic imagery, demons, Otherness, and more. John also provides a brief summary of the film. In the last section, they cover films that they watched during the week. What an excellent day for THE SEAT STRUCK MOVIE PODCAST!
