The Uncut Gems Podcast - Episode 143 (Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist)



The Uncut Gems Podcast

The 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 decided against our better judgment to take a close look at Exorcist: The Beginning and Dominion: Prequel to The Exorcist. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us try to find a reason why these movies exist at all, what propelled Paul Schrader to step behind the camera in this instance, whether it is even possible to stage a prequel to The Exorcist and if this franchise has anything to stand on. We also talk about Renny Harlin's directorial talents or lack thereof, Gabriel Mann's background acting, the ability of these movies to slow down time and much more!
