Well, then let's introduce ourselves. I'm Damien Karras and I'm Ted Gammer

Hello and welcome once again to the cinephiles where each week we enter the world of a great film we explore

It's themes the history the filmmaking and the influence it has on us today. My name is Steve Morris

I'm a filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California

Hello, my name is John Roca. I'm a writer producer and host on the outlaw nation and coast this podcast and voiceover guy and

huge frady cat so

I am I am just

interested to see

How we're gonna tackle this film in honor of Halloween, but I tell you what I had a fantastic

Experience watching this film so now I'm kind of really excited to talk about it with you Steve

Well, and as you say it's Halloween and we went into our list of choices from

Our patrons to see what scary movie they wanted us to look at the most and Clay Williams Colton Blackscop

Colton Blackstock

Simon Bruelly armed and someone only known as the kid all chose

William Friedkin's film of the of the bladding novel the exorcist

John, do you know how you first came to the exorcist? Yeah, man

I resisted this movie for a very very long time just like Rosemary's baby, which I only recently watched maybe a month or two ago

It was one of these films that was outlawed in my house because my dad was very religious my mom religious in these films

We're not allowed to be seen in that they had seen the films, but I was not allowed to see this

So it wasn't till I was in my 20s kind of back in Virginia

Before I took off to Florida state. I remember that they had released the

New edited version with new footage or whatever and I went to go see it downtown for the first time ever at the uptown in D.C
