The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 142 (Exorcist 2: The Heretic and The Exorcist 3: Legion)
The Uncut Gems PodcastThe Uncut Gems Podcast is a show where a bunch of like-minded individuals gather around a virtual table to discuss films that for one reason or another have become forgotten. Tongues pressed firmly in cheek, the team don their film historian top hats and rant from sedentary positions to hopefully conclude whether the film in question deserves to be covered by sands of time or if it is a classic in dire need of attention.
In this episode of the show, we are discussing a pair of sequels to the iconic 1973 The Exorcist, namely the 1977 Exorcist 2: The Heretic and the 1990 The Exorcist 3: Legion. Over the course of our chat you will hear us wonder how exactly one is supposed to follow up a cinematic singularity that was the William Friedkin masterpiece, whether John Boorman was the right man to do it and if William Peter Blatty's movie needed an exorcism at all. We also talk about Richard Burton's detective skills, Pazuzu as a villain, carp as a Christmas staple in Poland and George C. Scott's gas.
