The Exorcist Minute

Starting June 30th, we'll be releasing two of our old episodes each week on Sunday and Monday until we're all caught up, after which we'll be giving you BRAND NEW episodes every week on  Sunday!Second, all other bonus episodes, (Our special holiday episodes like HALLOWEEN, XMAS, and APRIL FOOLS (which is really our look at EXORCIST parodies like Linda Blair in REPOSSESSED), our review of THE EXORCIST: BELIEVER, our take on the Academy Awards, or our multi-part deep dive into the mysterious case that inspired William Peter Blatty to start it all, the exorcism of Robbie Doe.)...will be moving to our member feed.WAITAMINUTE!
