62.4 Spotlight on John Boorman’s Lost Seventies: Zardoz, Exorcist 2 The Heretic

Issue 62 of the monthly magazine podcast for the discerning film nerd with a Spotlight episode. Here we take a closer look at John Boorman, but not at his best and most beloved films. No, we wanted to examine why, at the height of his 70s fame, he used his clout and creative freedom to make the two most disastrous films of his career. James is joined by regular Double Reel co host Alan Bayles to pick over the wreckage and see if there's anything worth defending.
