3
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.399
<v Speaker 2>This podcast is designed to take you outside of your

4
00:00:27.399 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>comfort zone and make you question reality. Listener Discretion is

5
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>a vibe talk with the fellas. This ain't my first

6
00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:55.280
<v Speaker 2>time at the rodeo. Hello, and welcome back to the show.

7
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I am still coming to you from the extra bedroom

8
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:05.120
<v Speaker 2>at my sister's how and still enjoying the fucking October Fest,

9
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>and I am still very excited to be bringing you

10
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 2>another breakdown. And usually I would have a guest for

11
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>something like this, but the person that I asked to

12
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.239
<v Speaker 2>do this breakdown with me is on a hiatus of sorts,

13
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 2>so it's just you and I, which, to be honest

14
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.519
<v Speaker 2>with you, sometimes I prefer that anyways. So what movie

15
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 2>are we breaking down today? It is where my fucking notes,

16
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 2>the One the Only Exorcist nineteen seventy mother fucking three.

17
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.799
<v Speaker 2>And as you can see, I am very festive right now.

18
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 2>I have on the mom ass fuck hoodie that I

19
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:01.519
<v Speaker 2>got a couple halloweens ago and it is one of

20
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>my all time favorite things to wear. Don't mind my

21
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.360
<v Speaker 2>hair by the way. I'm just letting it live its

22
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.400
<v Speaker 2>best life today. Don't feel like fucking with it. Hope

23
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you understand. Also, ignore all this Seinfeld shit in the background.

24
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get to decorate the room. Okay, I'm just

25
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:27.599
<v Speaker 2>living here now. If you are a horror movie fan

26
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:33.319
<v Speaker 2>like I am, you will know this horror movie has

27
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.560
<v Speaker 2>went down as one of the all time greatest horror

28
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 2>movies and there is a reason why. And I also

29
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 2>think there is a reason why it is such a

30
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.680
<v Speaker 2>cultural icon. So I'm gonna walk through some of my

31
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:51.199
<v Speaker 2>notes with you today and play some snippets from the movie,

32
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:56.719
<v Speaker 2>and we're just gonna have a ball now. The Exorcist

33
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 2>is a nineteen seventy three American supernatural horror film directed

34
00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>by William Friedkin, based on the novel by William Peter Bladdie.

35
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 2>What a last name, I'd change it anyways. It was

36
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the first horror film to be nominated for the Academy

37
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Award for Best Picture, and it was released on December

38
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:28.199
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixth, nineteen seventy three, which actually was not the

39
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 2>date Freakin wanted, and he was actually pissed because he

40
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>wanted it to come out on Christmas. Day, But there

41
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>were so many delays while making this movie they couldn't

42
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.719
<v Speaker 2>get it out on time, and it almost feels like

43
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 2>some kind of divine intervention. Jesus was like, not on

44
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.000
<v Speaker 2>my fucking birthday, if that's even his birthday. You know,

45
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>all of the stuff about it being Nimrod's birthday, and they,

46
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:01.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, corrupted Jesus's birthday by may it December twenty fifth,

47
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.080
<v Speaker 2>but it really wasn't December twenty fifth all that, but

48
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 2>it was supposed to come out on Christmas Day, December

49
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.680
<v Speaker 2>twenty fifth, nineteen seventy three, and that would have just

50
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:17.079
<v Speaker 2>added more fuel to everyone's fire of this being such

51
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>a demonic and cursed movie. But it's most notably starring

52
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Ellen Burston, Jason Miller, and Linda Blair. And you know what,

53
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>I never knew that makes perfect fucking sense. Now. All

54
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.439
<v Speaker 2>the actors in this movie were almost faded to play

55
00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:45.680
<v Speaker 2>these roles because Jack Nicholson was actually considered for fucking

56
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Father Karris, you know, Damien or Damon or what a demy. Yeah,

57
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>it was supposed to be Jack fucking Nicholson, and apparently

58
00:04:56.439 --> 00:05:00.040
<v Speaker 2>he wanted the role, which would have made this a

59
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>completely different movie Let's be Real, but so Freedkin, the director,

60
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.879
<v Speaker 2>gave Jason Miller, who ended up being Father Carris, a

61
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>copy of the novel to read, and it turned out

62
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 2>that Jason Miller had actually received a Catholic education and

63
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.959
<v Speaker 2>studied to be a Jesuit priest for three years at

64
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a Catholic university in America until experiencing a spiritual crisis,

65
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 2>just like fucking Father Caros, but this was in his

66
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 2>real life and when he read the novel, he told Friedkin,

67
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Carris is me. So there was this screen test, right,

68
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>And during the test, Miller and Ellen Burston performed the

69
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>scene where Chris tells Father Caris that she suspects Reagan

70
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 2>might be possessed, and after viewing the footage the next morning,

71
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Freakin realized that Jason Miller's dark, good looks, haunted eyes,

72
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>quiet intensity, and low compassionate voice were exactly what the

73
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>part needed and literally, because that's exactly how I would

74
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 2>describe him. He nailed the part of Father Karis. But

75
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>get this shit. So they also wanted Audrey Hepburn to

76
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 2>play Chris and she refused the role, and they wanted

77
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Lee Curtis to play Reagan and fucking Jamie Lee's

78
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>mom was like, no, fuck you, which is interesting because

79
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>she went on to be one of the most iconic

80
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 2>horror stars ever in Halloween and shit like that prom Night.

81
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.519
<v Speaker 2>But so they were like, we want if we can't

82
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 2>have Jamie Lee, we want Denise Nickerson, who played Violet

83
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.959
<v Speaker 2>Beauregard in Willy Wonka, and even her family was exactly

84
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the same. They've read this shit and they were like,

85
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>abs fuckingutely not, it's gonna be a fuck no for us.

86
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's like all these things that happened, all these

87
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.720
<v Speaker 2>people that they considered, but it ended up being the

88
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 2>cast that we have, and it, in my opinion, couldn't

89
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 2>have been casted any better. So it's like it had

90
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 2>to be these people, even down to the director, because

91
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 2>the author of the novel ultimately decided who was going

92
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>to direct the film, and he had originally wanted Stanley

93
00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 2>fucking Kubrick. Think of what The Exorcist would have been

94
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.560
<v Speaker 2>with Jack Nicholson too, So it's gonna be like the

95
00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Shiny two point zero, but like with a POSSESSI girl.

96
00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Holy fucking shit, no pun intended. Jack Nicholson directed by

97
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Stanley Kubrick, this would have been an entirely different movie.

98
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.600
<v Speaker 2>I really wish I could watch this version of the Exorcist,

99
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.639
<v Speaker 2>but you know it doesn't exist, and so did you know.

100
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Many of the cast and crew members were injured and

101
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>some literally fucking died while trying to make this movie,

102
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.399
<v Speaker 2>and all these super unusual accidents kept happening, which super

103
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 2>delayed shooting the movie and production took twice as long

104
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 2>as scheduled and cost about three times the initial budget.

105
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>And the many mishaps while filming led to a belief

106
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:58.919
<v Speaker 2>that the film was cursed and the Exorcist is actually

107
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>just one of many cursed movies. But that's another episode

108
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 2>where we could go over some other cursed movies. But

109
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 2>so early on, shooting was delayed six weeks after bird

110
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 2>flew into a circuit breaker on the house sets and

111
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 2>it started a huge fire that destroyed literally all of

112
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the houses except for one bedroom, and that was Reagan's room.

113
00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:39.320
<v Speaker 2>So this think about that, guys, This bird flies into

114
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>a circuit breaker, box sets, the whole fucking thing ablaze

115
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:53.360
<v Speaker 2>except one room remains standing and that is Reagan's bedroom, unscathed. Okay,

116
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:58.039
<v Speaker 2>so later on another set was severely damaged when a

117
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 2>fucking sprinkler system went haywire and just started shooting water everywhere.

118
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:09.240
<v Speaker 2>And then the ten foot tall statue of Pazu Zu

119
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.639
<v Speaker 2>was shipped to Hong Kong instead of Iraq. How the

120
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.039
<v Speaker 2>fuck do you mix those two things up? And that

121
00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 2>caused another two week delay, which actually, besides it being

122
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.399
<v Speaker 2>a statue and whatever, I'm going to get into the

123
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>whole Pazuzu thing in a minute. But so a lot

124
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:31.799
<v Speaker 2>of the cast members, if they didn't just straight out die,

125
00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 2>were severely injured, and Ellen Burston and Linda Blair have

126
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:43.399
<v Speaker 2>lasting consequences from severe back injuries. And so Ellen Burston's

127
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:50.120
<v Speaker 2>occurred during the scene where the possessed Reagan throws Chris backwards,

128
00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 2>and the take they used in the film actually was

129
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 2>the take that left her unable to film for two

130
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>straight weeks on crutches for the rest of this shoot

131
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:07.879
<v Speaker 2>with a fractured tailbone, and it has caused her lifelong

132
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>chronic issues. And then Linda Blair some of you may

133
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 2>already know this, but she fractured her lower spine after

134
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:20.120
<v Speaker 2>being too loosely strapped to the bed while it was

135
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 2>rocking up and down. Back and forth all crazy, and

136
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:29.279
<v Speaker 2>the take where she fractures her spine is actually the

137
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>take that is used in the Finnish film. So Linda

138
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Blair then developed scoliosis with long term health effects as

139
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.639
<v Speaker 2>well as a lifelong aversion to cold from all her

140
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>time in the refrigerated bedroom set wearing only a nightgown

141
00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:52.039
<v Speaker 2>and long underwear, so they practically gave her hypothermia. They

142
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 2>fractured her spine. She's got lifelong issues for this. She

143
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>was type cast because nobody wanted her anymore after she

144
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>made this movie, because she's Reagan right, She's a crazy,

145
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:07.559
<v Speaker 2>possessed girl, and a lot of people thought that she

146
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>was evil in real life, like Linda Blair was possessed

147
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 2>by the devil in real life. So imagine growing up

148
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>with that stigma attached to you. So I'm gonna go

149
00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:23.879
<v Speaker 2>ahead and say that this movie, while it is a

150
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 2>cultural staple and one of the greatest, if not the greatest,

151
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.360
<v Speaker 2>horror movies of all time, it really fucked up a

152
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.559
<v Speaker 2>lot of the cast and crew for life, literally for life.

153
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:41.519
<v Speaker 2>And just to name a few more, a carpenter cut

154
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:47.080
<v Speaker 2>his thumb off and a lighting technician lost a toe

155
00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:51.799
<v Speaker 2>in two completely separate incidents, and other people connected with

156
00:12:51.919 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the film or their family members straight up died. So

157
00:12:57.639 --> 00:13:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the dude who plays Burke Dennings a week after completing

158
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 2>his scenes dead fucking dead, you know, Burked Innings, the

159
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 2>one who gets pushed out of Reagan's bedroom falls down

160
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 2>the stairs, twisting his head completely all the way around

161
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:19.759
<v Speaker 2>in the movie. That same guy in real life, just

162
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:23.799
<v Speaker 2>after he finished his scenes fucking died in real life.

163
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 2>And the old Italian mom, you know why you do

164
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this to me? Demi also died like her character before

165
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:43.360
<v Speaker 2>the film was even finished. Coincidence maybe, but that's pretty

166
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>fucking wild. And so deaths among the crew or those

167
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 2>close to them included the night watch man, the operator

168
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.639
<v Speaker 2>of the refrigeration system for Reagan's room, and an assistant

169
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>cameraman's newborn baby, all dead while filming this movie, and

170
00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Linda Blair's grandfather died during the first week of production,

171
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>and fucking father Marin had to return to Sweden after

172
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:26.039
<v Speaker 2>his first day shooting because his brother fucking died, which

173
00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>also delayed shooting the movie because all this stuff kept

174
00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:35.039
<v Speaker 2>coming up. And then fucking one of father Kris Jason

175
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Miller's sons nearly died when a motorcycle ran him off

176
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.639
<v Speaker 2>the road and tried to fucking run him over. Okay,

177
00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 2>And it's just the amount of like weird shit and

178
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 2>deaths and accidents and severe injuries. It's almost I mean, sure,

179
00:14:57.080 --> 00:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>shit happens during X amount of money or a year

180
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 2>however long it takes you to get everything shot and finished.

181
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.320
<v Speaker 2>But this degree, I don't think so that is pretty significant.

182
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:15.360
<v Speaker 2>And dude, one of the craziest things about this movie

183
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 2>is a few years after the film's release, Paul Bateson,

184
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:27.440
<v Speaker 2>the technician in the angiograph scene, was convicted of murdering

185
00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 2>a journalist named Addison Vrol. But get this shit, it

186
00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>doesn't stop there. And this is why I'm doing the

187
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Program to Kill series, because in nineteen seventy nine, Paul

188
00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Bateson was convicted of the murder of Addison Verel, the

189
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:55.320
<v Speaker 2>journalist or whatever, and sentenced to a minimum of twenty

190
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>years in prison. But in two thousand and three he

191
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.519
<v Speaker 2>was released on parole after serving just five years of

192
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.759
<v Speaker 2>his twenty year sentence. And that's really interesting considering the

193
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:14.039
<v Speaker 2>fact that prior to this bitch fuck contents trial, police

194
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:18.320
<v Speaker 2>and prosecutors implicated him in a series of unsolved slayings

195
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:24.360
<v Speaker 2>of gay men in Manhattan, known as the bag Murders, killings,

196
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:28.840
<v Speaker 2>which he had reportedly boasted about while in jail. So

197
00:16:28.960 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>what the fuck happened with that? Fucking nothing? This guy

198
00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>literally murders a journalist after his little role in the Exorcist.

199
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Fucking is suspected for a series of unsoft slayings of

200
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>fucking gay men in Manhattan, these fucking bag murders, and

201
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.720
<v Speaker 2>he only serves five years. They never put him on

202
00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.960
<v Speaker 2>trial for the bag murders. Nothing literally walks, which is

203
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>again why I'm doing program to kill. But even the

204
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:06.000
<v Speaker 2>director freaking believed there was some kind of supernatural interference

205
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 2>in this movie. And now here's a quote from him. Quote,

206
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a convert to the occult, but after all

207
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:19.079
<v Speaker 2>I've seen on this film, I definitely believe in demonic possession.

208
00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:23.599
<v Speaker 2>We were plagued by strange and sinister things from the

209
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:29.680
<v Speaker 2>very beginning in quote. Another cast member said, quote felt

210
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:32.960
<v Speaker 2>I was playing around with something I shouldn't have been

211
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>playing around with in quote. And they even called a

212
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 2>legit priest in who blessed all the cast and crew

213
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:46.079
<v Speaker 2>because so much fucked up shit was happening while trying

214
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to make this movie. But let's talk about the people

215
00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:54.240
<v Speaker 2>who watched the motherfucker on the big screen for the

216
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>first time. This is a whole other issue because a

217
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.839
<v Speaker 2>lot of the viewers were said to have suffered adverse

218
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>physical reactions, including fainting or vomiting, fucking blow and popcorn

219
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>chunks everywhere while trying to watch this And in nineteen

220
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:18.799
<v Speaker 2>seventy five, the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease published

221
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:24.039
<v Speaker 2>a paper by a psychiatrist documenting four cases of what

222
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:29.559
<v Speaker 2>is called cinematic neurosis that was triggered by the film.

223
00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:37.240
<v Speaker 2>So what the actual fuck right? They're watching this movie

224
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and not only are they having a visceral reaction, they're

225
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:49.599
<v Speaker 2>getting triggered and they are developing something called cinematic neurosis. WHOA, okay,

226
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 2>And y'all think I stretch and grab for straws or

227
00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:56.519
<v Speaker 2>whatever it is you say when I do these movie breakdowns,

228
00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't fucking think so. And get this shit if

229
00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>you don't think that they do things in movies on purpose.

230
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 2>In twenty ten, the Library of Congress selected this film

231
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.720
<v Speaker 2>for preservation in the United States National Film Registry as

232
00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:23.240
<v Speaker 2>being quote culturally, historically and esthetically significant end quote. You

233
00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>fucking think about that, Like they're not proud of this shit.

234
00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>They're not. It's like you can't sit here and tell

235
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>me that they don't. Just absolutely love what they have

236
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.720
<v Speaker 2>accomplished with this shit. Now, let's get to the fucking plot, right,

237
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:46.160
<v Speaker 2>So we open up in northern Iraq with fucking Lancaster Marin, right,

238
00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:50.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's supposed to be on an archaeological dig in

239
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:56.759
<v Speaker 2>the ancient ruins of Hatra, something I never looked into before,

240
00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.799
<v Speaker 2>but since we're breaking this down, seems only right to

241
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:07.200
<v Speaker 2>do so. So. Heetra was an ancient city in Upper Mesopotamia,

242
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.599
<v Speaker 2>located in present day eastern Ninevah. It is considered to

243
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>be the richest archaeological site from the Parthian Empire known

244
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:24.799
<v Speaker 2>to date. And it's fucking anciently old, like pre flood

245
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:33.079
<v Speaker 2>ancient ancient anciently old. And it seems to be like

246
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:38.119
<v Speaker 2>this hot spot of sorts where a bunch of shit converged,

247
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.279
<v Speaker 2>like where ley lines meet up kind of place, because

248
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:47.519
<v Speaker 2>we see that all the small g lower case gods

249
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.519
<v Speaker 2>make an appearance here. The city had temples to Nergal,

250
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>which is an Assyrian, Babylonian and Akkadian god. But we

251
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.359
<v Speaker 2>also have Hermes, which was a Greek god. There's another

252
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 2>statue to an Aramean god. There's one to Shamaiah, which

253
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:15.480
<v Speaker 2>is an Arabian god. Then there's a Shamash statue, which

254
00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:21.839
<v Speaker 2>is a Mesopotamian sun god. And other deities mentioned in

255
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the hatred Aramaic inscriptions were, of course Ball and the

256
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:35.839
<v Speaker 2>female deity known as asher Ball, which was the assimilation

257
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of two different deities, the Assyrian god Asher and the

258
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Babylonian god Ball. So in this area in real life,

259
00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 2>we've got straight up ball worship. We've got statues of

260
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:55.319
<v Speaker 2>these Annunaki type beings. It's all there. It's a fucking buffet.

261
00:21:55.960 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 2>And so in the movie, during the archaeological dig Lancaster,

262
00:22:01.440 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Marin finds a tiny little stone talisman right of this

263
00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>winged being and then he sees it later on in

264
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 2>a giant version, okay, of the same being that appears

265
00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:19.920
<v Speaker 2>with two dogs fighting, you know the scene, and it's

266
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:24.240
<v Speaker 2>all very ominous and shit, and they say that it's

267
00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:29.640
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be this certain entity Pazuzu, right, but this

268
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:33.640
<v Speaker 2>is made up for the movie and what it's based

269
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.319
<v Speaker 2>on is a very real entity. I'm not going to

270
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:44.319
<v Speaker 2>say the name, but it is z O z oh Okay,

271
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>But looking into the history of this site, it would

272
00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.599
<v Speaker 2>make more sense that it would have been one of

273
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:56.559
<v Speaker 2>these Babylonian Cannonite demons like fucking Ball than this made

274
00:22:56.640 --> 00:23:01.799
<v Speaker 2>up Pazuzu character. Because I don't know about y'all, but

275
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I am a die hard Ghost Adventures fan. And there

276
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.279
<v Speaker 2>was this one guy in Oklahoma, no less, right around

277
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the corner from my fucking neighborhood, right in Oklahoma City,

278
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:17.319
<v Speaker 2>who claims that he was messing around with the Wuigi board,

279
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 2>got himself possessed, got his house possessed, got his wife possessed.

280
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Fucking the demon was trying to fucking, you know, molest

281
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.039
<v Speaker 2>on both of them, and all kinds of shit. And

282
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.240
<v Speaker 2>the demon that kept coming through on the Wigi board

283
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:36.799
<v Speaker 2>was z O z O. And they still have this

284
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.759
<v Speaker 2>dude from Ghost Adventures on all the time as like

285
00:23:41.240 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a consultant of sorts for the Dark Occult and Wigi boards.

286
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's like the realist shit, right, And this demon

287
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:53.119
<v Speaker 2>that comes through on the Wigi board in real life.

288
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I know because I watched the fucking episode and then

289
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.079
<v Speaker 2>I did some research on it after Ghost Adventures. This

290
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 2>is the really shit. This is supposedly the demon that

291
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 2>got inside of Reagan. So fuck you know, this is

292
00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:12.720
<v Speaker 2>why maybe the movie was cursed, because they're getting real

293
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.640
<v Speaker 2>close to some serious truth here. Now let's cut in

294
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to where we start getting introduced to the rest of

295
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 2>the cast. We are in, of course, Washington, d C. Georgetown.

296
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Nice cozy home for a demon in Washington, DC, don't

297
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:37.839
<v Speaker 2>you think with all of the obelisks and reflection pools

298
00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 2>and pillars and shit, fucking home sweet home for a demon.

299
00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 2>And actually this movie came out right in the fucking

300
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:54.319
<v Speaker 2>middle of Watergate. So again, a lot of weird coincidences

301
00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:58.039
<v Speaker 2>and just odd shit that has went on around this movie.

302
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:04.400
<v Speaker 2>But now get this shit. Okay. Some scenes in this movie,

303
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:09.480
<v Speaker 2>particularly those with sexual content, were toned down for the

304
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:14.640
<v Speaker 2>film adaptation since an actress of approximately Linda Blair's age

305
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.640
<v Speaker 2>was expected to be cast. And in the book, though,

306
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the fucking scene where Reagan masturbates with the crucifix was

307
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.519
<v Speaker 2>way more prolonged, just so you know, and way more

308
00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 2>fucking explicit and fucking in the book, Reagan is going

309
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to fucking town on that pussy, like seriously injuring herself

310
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.640
<v Speaker 2>yet attaining orgasm. It literally says that in the book

311
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 2>that she's all fucking squirting and shit and fucking all

312
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:54.759
<v Speaker 2>devil possessed pussy all up in there, and they had

313
00:25:54.799 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>to take all that shit out because it was completely

314
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.720
<v Speaker 2>inappropriate to have Linda Blair act that out at such

315
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a young age. But the film also excludes the possessed

316
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Reagan's constant fucking diarrhea. Okay, and it said in the

317
00:26:08.279 --> 00:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>book that it gave her room a very strong, foul odor,

318
00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:16.920
<v Speaker 2>smelt like fucking dead fish puss mixed with shit and

319
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>fucking dead corpse ass all up in her room. So

320
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I actually think, yeah, I get it, Linda Blairs young,

321
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>let's not traumatizer, let's not do to make her do

322
00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:33.559
<v Speaker 2>too much. But the constant diarrhea, that is actually pretty hilarious.

323
00:26:33.759 --> 00:26:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, why not if you're gonna have her masturbate

324
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.599
<v Speaker 2>with a crucifix, which they did have her do, And

325
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:43.640
<v Speaker 2>then she puked pea soup everywhere, and she took a

326
00:26:43.720 --> 00:26:46.759
<v Speaker 2>huge piss in the living room. You telling me they

327
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:50.319
<v Speaker 2>had to draw the line a diarrhea really that's where

328
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:56.400
<v Speaker 2>the line was. I think pissing, puking, and masturbating with

329
00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:01.680
<v Speaker 2>a bloody crucifix tops diarrhea. All right, if I'm just

330
00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 2>being honest, I really I'm you know, having a hard

331
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 2>time understanding how to justify that one. We're gonna have

332
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.920
<v Speaker 2>you masturbate with this crucifix, Linda, but don't even think

333
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:19.480
<v Speaker 2>about having diarrhea on camera. That's fucking disgusting. But anyways,

334
00:27:21.200 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I guess. Also before they settled on Linda Blair, the

335
00:27:25.640 --> 00:27:30.079
<v Speaker 2>director was asking her if she knew anything about the movie,

336
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>and she said she read the book and said, quote,

337
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:36.720
<v Speaker 2>it's about a girl who gets possessed by the devil

338
00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and does a whole bunch of bad things end quote,

339
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:45.119
<v Speaker 2>And so Freedkin was like, what kinds of bad things?

340
00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:50.359
<v Speaker 2>And Linda said something like she pushes a man out

341
00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 2>of her bedroom window and she hits her mom in

342
00:27:53.839 --> 00:28:00.359
<v Speaker 2>the face, and get this shit fucking freakin is like,

343
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:09.640
<v Speaker 2>do you know what masturbation is? Have you ever done it? Like?

344
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:15.279
<v Speaker 2>Think about that? That's so fucking weird he's asking her.

345
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess it's all for the sake of

346
00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:22.039
<v Speaker 2>the movie and whatever, But he's like, all too curious

347
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:25.000
<v Speaker 2>as to whether this twelve year old girl knows what

348
00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 2>masturbation is and if she's ever done it. I guess

349
00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that was part of the fucking criteria she had to

350
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:35.920
<v Speaker 2>pass in order to be a part of the movie.

351
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:43.680
<v Speaker 2>But anyways, the voice for the possessed Reagan, that was

352
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:51.279
<v Speaker 2>not Linda Blair. That was Mercedes McCambridge. And I'm pretty

353
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>sure I've said this before, but she literally said to

354
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:59.720
<v Speaker 2>prepare for the role, she ate raw eggs, drank with

355
00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and chain smoked siggi's to make Pazuzu's voice sound as

356
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>intimidating as possible. So get this, They legit mixed bees, dogs, hamsters,

357
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 2>and pigs into the demon voice, which is fucking genius

358
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 2>because I have never watched another possession movie where I

359
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.240
<v Speaker 2>felt like the possessed person was selling it to me.

360
00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:39.519
<v Speaker 2>I have never ever watched a possession movie where the

361
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:44.480
<v Speaker 2>fucking possessed person was in their own voice selling me

362
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 2>their possession. Like The Exorcist set the bar for what

363
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:52.799
<v Speaker 2>a possessed person should sound like. And it is because

364
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:59.559
<v Speaker 2>they mixed bees, swarm, hive, mind, dogs, hamsters, and pigs

365
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.799
<v Speaker 2>sounds into the demon's voice. That is exactly how I

366
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:07.279
<v Speaker 2>always imagined a possessed person would sound. Don't get me wrong,

367
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Emily Rose was pretty fucking scary, and there was a

368
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:14.359
<v Speaker 2>lot of fucking moments where you know, I don't know

369
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:18.480
<v Speaker 2>if you ever watched Dexter, but damn deb was full

370
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:25.759
<v Speaker 2>on fucking possessed. Okay, like full blown. But now let's

371
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:33.200
<v Speaker 2>get to my favorite subject, subliminal messaging. Does the Exorcist

372
00:30:33.279 --> 00:30:40.200
<v Speaker 2>contain any subliminal messaging? One hundred so? A nineteen ninety

373
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:45.119
<v Speaker 2>one article examined the claim with stills to prove it

374
00:30:46.759 --> 00:30:51.240
<v Speaker 2>of several uses of subliminal flashing, as they called it,

375
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:58.839
<v Speaker 2>and Freedkin, the director, literally told the people doing the interviews, quote,

376
00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:02.519
<v Speaker 2>I saw subme liminal cuts in a number of films

377
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 2>before I ever put them in The Exorcist, and I

378
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:12.559
<v Speaker 2>thought it was a very effective storytelling device. D quote,

379
00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:22.279
<v Speaker 2>storytelling device. That's an interesting word to use. And going

380
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.160
<v Speaker 2>back and rewatching the movie, as you know, I was

381
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:30.599
<v Speaker 2>preparing for this breakdown, I saw so many things that

382
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I had never noticed before. Now listen here, if you're

383
00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.680
<v Speaker 2>gonna do this, if you're gonna go back and watch

384
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:40.400
<v Speaker 2>this and try to look for these things, you have

385
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to watch the extended director's cut, the kind the one

386
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.839
<v Speaker 2>that they have. If you go on Amazon Prime actually

387
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.359
<v Speaker 2>to try to watch it, you'll see that there's two versions.

388
00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.680
<v Speaker 2>There's the Exorcist, the regular one that was I guess,

389
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>the subdued version, and then you can also watch the

390
00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:05.920
<v Speaker 2>director's cut or the extended cut that has all the

391
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:10.279
<v Speaker 2>subliminal flashes in there and some of the more. You know,

392
00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 2>when they play it on TV, they always take out

393
00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 2>the part where Reagan walks backwards down the stairs. They

394
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.240
<v Speaker 2>always take out. I mean, there are certain things that

395
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.200
<v Speaker 2>you just notice over time that they take out in

396
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:31.519
<v Speaker 2>the subdued version of the Exorcist. But so Friedkin said

397
00:32:31.519 --> 00:32:35.400
<v Speaker 2>that the subliminal editing in The Exorcist was done for

398
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>dramatic effect, to create, achieve and sustain a kind of

399
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:44.920
<v Speaker 2>dream like state. Now what does that sound like? A

400
00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 2>fucking dream like state? It's almost David Lynchy kind of

401
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.920
<v Speaker 2>in the way that he's trying to get people to

402
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:57.279
<v Speaker 2>disassociate while watching the movie, which he does an absolutely

403
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>fantastic job of. And and I think I've said this before,

404
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.440
<v Speaker 2>but when I went to go visit my boyfriend, I

405
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.359
<v Speaker 2>had never watched David Lynch except for Doune, and he

406
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>had me high as a fucking kite. Watch Mullholland Drive

407
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and you want to talk about being in a disassociated state,

408
00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:21.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty sure I saw the face of God while

409
00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:24.039
<v Speaker 2>watching that movie, and I thought we were supposed to

410
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:26.599
<v Speaker 2>be having a good time. But you know, I guess

411
00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 2>that's what I get for dating a fellow film enthusiast

412
00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and conspiracy theorist. But anyways, let's walk through the movie

413
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:39.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. I'm not even gonna go scene by

414
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.079
<v Speaker 2>seeing breaking down all the plot and all the stuff

415
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:44.680
<v Speaker 2>in the background and shit like that, because let's be real,

416
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:48.359
<v Speaker 2>if you've watched it at all, you know that there

417
00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.440
<v Speaker 2>is a million subliminal messages in there, and there's a

418
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 2>million little hints and clues that there is something more

419
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to this movie than what meets the eye, apart from

420
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 2>just the fucking deaths on set and fucking injuries and

421
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 2>all that shit. So there is a scene where they're

422
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:16.079
<v Speaker 2>doing the party scene and there's a lot of background

423
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.280
<v Speaker 2>stuff going on. I feel like, for the time, this

424
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 2>was actually a woke movie for the time, because the

425
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.559
<v Speaker 2>things that they're talking about the movie that Chris is

426
00:34:27.679 --> 00:34:31.960
<v Speaker 2>making in the movie is really woke in kind of

427
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 2>like women's rights and feminism and all this stuff. And

428
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 2>then we get to like the party scene and Burke

429
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Dennings is talking to the other priest guy, who, by

430
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:50.280
<v Speaker 2>the way, I'm ninety eight percent sure is gay. He's

431
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:56.199
<v Speaker 2>a gay priest. Shocking, but so he's talking to him

432
00:34:56.760 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 2>and he's talking about the Gemini and Mercury space program

433
00:35:03.079 --> 00:35:09.880
<v Speaker 2>And then in the same scene, the director in the

434
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.039
<v Speaker 2>movie is drunk as a skunk and he keeps making

435
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:19.800
<v Speaker 2>all these Nazi references about globals and you know, accusing

436
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the housekeeper being a Nazi. And so within the same

437
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.400
<v Speaker 2>scene we have someone talking about the Gemini and Mercury

438
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:31.519
<v Speaker 2>space programs to a gay guy, and then in the

439
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:39.079
<v Speaker 2>same scene have the director making Nazi references accusing the

440
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:43.920
<v Speaker 2>housekeeper being a Nazi. And for the time, there are

441
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 2>certain things that they included in the movie that are

442
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:50.480
<v Speaker 2>woke as fuck, like, oh, we gotta exhaust all of

443
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:57.320
<v Speaker 2>the medical scenarios before we jump to psychological or spiritual issues,

444
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:01.519
<v Speaker 2>which is exactly what they have pushed on everyone to

445
00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:05.239
<v Speaker 2>this day, that that people can't have a spiritual issue.

446
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Everyone is suffering from some kind of physical ailment. They

447
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:11.199
<v Speaker 2>need to be on big Pharma, they need to have

448
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:17.119
<v Speaker 2>test run and so I think that it's very significant

449
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.079
<v Speaker 2>that they included all that kind of stuff within the movie.

450
00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:25.280
<v Speaker 2>And what is even more significant to me is the

451
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:29.880
<v Speaker 2>brand new Exorcist that came out in twenty twenty three,

452
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:35.440
<v Speaker 2>so just last year is called The Exorcist Believer is

453
00:36:35.760 --> 00:36:41.159
<v Speaker 2>even more woke in a million ways than one and

454
00:36:42.039 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely pushing an agenda. And it's just funny to

455
00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:52.400
<v Speaker 2>me because there's been so many Exorcists that have come

456
00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.480
<v Speaker 2>out since the original one, in so many possession movies.

457
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:57.480
<v Speaker 2>But if we're going to stick with just the Exorcist,

458
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:01.440
<v Speaker 2>there was like The Exorcist, the haird the Extors. Is

459
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:06.400
<v Speaker 2>this the one that came out last year? Though, is

460
00:37:06.440 --> 00:37:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the first time since the Heretic that we see a

461
00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:13.079
<v Speaker 2>reappearance by Linda Blair and Ellen Burston. They're both in

462
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:17.079
<v Speaker 2>the one that came out last year. Linda Blair does

463
00:37:17.079 --> 00:37:21.360
<v Speaker 2>a very small cameo appearance, like less than seven seconds

464
00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:23.760
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the movie, but she's still in

465
00:37:23.840 --> 00:37:29.480
<v Speaker 2>there and actually the mom she's in it quite a bit.

466
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And I couldn't believe she was still fucking alive, but

467
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:36.599
<v Speaker 2>she's in it, and they're pushing this whole woke agenda,

468
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:40.360
<v Speaker 2>like you don't need Jesus to cast out demons, you

469
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:43.480
<v Speaker 2>don't need this, you don't need that. It's the first

470
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:47.519
<v Speaker 2>one spoiler alert. I have to get this off my chest.

471
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:52.039
<v Speaker 2>There's like all these fucking twists because like it's two

472
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:57.039
<v Speaker 2>girls being possessed instead of one, and in most possession movies,

473
00:37:57.320 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 2>the motherfuckers don't actually die. They kind of get, you know,

474
00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:08.280
<v Speaker 2>either saved or the demon jumps into another person and

475
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:16.199
<v Speaker 2>they're saved or they're spared, sacrificed whatever, so that, uh,

476
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 2>they get the demon out, but not in this one.

477
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>This one, a little girl literally gets taken to hell.

478
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.320
<v Speaker 2>It's like one of the scariest things. I had a

479
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:29.400
<v Speaker 2>horrible nightmare after I watched that movie. And there's a

480
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:32.400
<v Speaker 2>scene where they get this priest to come in and

481
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:34.599
<v Speaker 2>he lays hands on both of the girls and he's

482
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:37.760
<v Speaker 2>praying over him, and it's this very powerful moment and

483
00:38:37.800 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 2>you're like, oh my god, he's gonna save him. No,

484
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 2>he don't. Fucking gets his next twisted and snapped dead

485
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:48.480
<v Speaker 2>fucking drops down to the floor and Like I said,

486
00:38:48.480 --> 00:38:51.599
<v Speaker 2>one of the little girls literally gets dies and gets

487
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:56.559
<v Speaker 2>taken to Hell, and there's all this voodoo whodoo, Haitian

488
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>witchcraft and all this stuff, and they make it out

489
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:05.079
<v Speaker 2>to be like the Haitian voodoo stuff is what saves them.

490
00:39:05.360 --> 00:39:08.920
<v Speaker 2>And there's like a racial thing going on in the movie,

491
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:16.119
<v Speaker 2>and there is. It's just loaded with just odd shit,

492
00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:19.960
<v Speaker 2>just odd shit. But if you take into consideration that

493
00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:22.719
<v Speaker 2>the first Exorcist, even though it doesn't look like it

494
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:26.079
<v Speaker 2>to us now in nineteen seventy three, was a woke movie,

495
00:39:26.639 --> 00:39:29.280
<v Speaker 2>it would make sense that the twenty twenty three version

496
00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:32.920
<v Speaker 2>would be a woke movie as well. Anyways, there's just

497
00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:36.760
<v Speaker 2>so much stuff compacted in both of these movies. Is

498
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:40.360
<v Speaker 2>it cursed? I think so. I mean, obviously you can

499
00:39:40.840 --> 00:39:44.559
<v Speaker 2>come up with your own conclusions as far as that's concerned,

500
00:39:44.639 --> 00:39:49.960
<v Speaker 2>But go back and rewatch it kind of look for

501
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the telltale signs and you know, come up with your

502
00:39:54.320 --> 00:39:59.079
<v Speaker 2>own conclusions. But that is my analysis of the Exorcist.

503
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully next time I come to you, I'm in a

504
00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:10.039
<v Speaker 2>different location. But thank you so much everyone for being

505
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a part of this little breakdown with me, and I

506
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 2>will catch you on the next one.

507
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:23.079
<v Speaker 3>The Exorcist is a film dealing with the supernatural. Parental

508
00:40:23.079 --> 00:40:27.679
<v Speaker 3>discretion is advised. The number one box office movie of

509
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:32.880
<v Speaker 3>its kind, a classic tale of innocent lives suddenly transformed.

510
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 3>A mother and daughter on the brink of tragedy, and

511
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:39.320
<v Speaker 3>only one man can possibly say them telling you that

512
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:42.199
<v Speaker 3>that thing upstairs isn't my daughter. Now, I want you

513
00:40:42.239 --> 00:40:44.239
<v Speaker 3>to tell me that you know for a fact that

514
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing wrong with my daughter except.

515
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:46.840
<v Speaker 2>In her mind.

516
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:53.440
<v Speaker 3>Watch the Academy Award winning suspense classic The Exorcist. Next
