The Exorcist III (w/ Drew McWeeny)

Do you dare to walk these stairs again? Too late, we’re already falling down them into 1990’s THE EXORCIST III, and helping to cushion our fall is film and culture writer Drew McWeeny! Along the way, we tackle the film’s “one and done” filming strategy, we debate how the film’s unreality becomes a reality, the incredible performances given by George C. Scott, Brad Dourif, and the other supporting characters, we work through the high camp comedy combined with dedicated sincerity of the characters, and of course, we pick apart the film’s scariest shock sequence: Larry King ordering a sandwich. All this plus a high-spirited round of Choose Your Own Deathventure, and yes, we talk about “the jump scare.” And Fabio.

In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.
