The Ghost Story Guys

When there's something strange and it don't look good, who you gonna call? On this episode, inspired by Russell Crowe's latest film "The Exorcism" (in theaters now), we decide to call up an exorcist, or at least stories about them. That's right - we have five tales of possession, plus two lesser known stories of haunting on film sets, and through it all we pay tribute to thicc Russell Crowe and his embracing of the dad bod.
