S1 E36: "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" (#30) - with Esther Rosenfield!
Description
The great Esther Rosenfield (@capybaroness, The Lost Broadcasts) joins us to pick apart one of the worst and most befuddling films we've covered so far: the pseudo-horror COURTROOM DRAMA(?!) The Exorcism of Emily Rose! We discuss its baffling narrative structure, go deep on director Scott Derrickson's backstory leading up to this, and ask important questions like "is having an ambition towards philosophical thought enough?" "Is Laura Linney a good actress?" "did the audition for this movie just ask for your best backbend?", and most importantly, "why is any of this...like this?"
Oh, and MOST most importantly, "how about them Nuggets?!?"
We had so much fun ripping this nonsense to shreds, and I hope you have fun listening to it! Check it out!
