Exorcist2_poster

Episode 368: The Crew’s riding on the wings of some demonic locusts while watching John Boorman’s The Exorcist II: The Heretic.

ESP, shared dreams, metaphorical evil locusts, Regan’s new chosen one role, and a Poltergeist style ending do add something new, but most of it makes no sense to the audience. And there’s so much talent, both in front of and behind the camera. The Crew discusses.
