Episode 173 – Cathy's Curse (1977)

from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners

Troy and Roger tackle Cathy’s Curse (1977), a Canadian possession oddity that proves not every creepy-kid movie can be The Exorcist. They dig into the film’s baffling dialogue, random supernatural powers, and a cast of characters who make some truly questionable choices. From Cathy’s delightfully mean-spirited antics to an ending that feels like it just sort of gives up, the guys try to make sense of this messy but oddly charming cult curio. Along the way, they chat about the joy of “so-bad-it’s-good” cinema, laugh at the film’s dated tropes, and wonder if anyone involved knew what story they were actually telling. It’s a ride full of head-scratching moments, but as always, Roger and Troy find the fun in the chaos. Find out more at https://dark-night-of-the-podcast.pinecast.co
