The Exorcist

This week on "That '70s Movie Podcast," Michael and Jonathan do a cranial 360 for the 1973 horror film "The Exorcist."

So horror is not really our bag, but we gave this classic its due. Jonathan thought it worked well as a genre piece, while Michael had a bit more praise—noting that it was incredibly entertaining but also had some serious thematic depth. We discussed the crisis of faith that is the defining conflict of the movie (well, aside from the 12-year-old possessed by a demon) and asked: Is this film pro- or anti-religious, and is it truly a '70s film?

So grab your Ouija board, tie yourself to the bed, and curl up with a nice bowl of pea soup for this week's episode.
