Episode 244: 'The Exorcist: Believer' Special Edition

SPOILER ALERT! AS WITH ALL SPECIAL EDITIONS, WE HOLD NOTHING BACK AND DISCUSS MAJOR SPOILERS!There is so much to unpack when it comes to The Exorcist: Believer. How the rights almost cost half a billion dollars. The fact there is literally not one exorcist in the movie. Trying to connect it to the original. But we mainly talk about how disappointed we were. Do we have ourselves to blame?It is hard not to go into some movies with high expectations - especially ones that have trailers as awesome as The Exorcist: Believer. As much as we anticipated it, we knew it would have to be something special to be one of our picks for best of the year. So, we went in with clear heads and just wanted to like it.That being said, the trailers did an excellent job of pumping us up and the name The Exorcist carries gravity. We talk about how both may have ended up doing more harm than good. Should this have been its own IP? We also discuss its place in the franchise and what it means going forward.It has been half a century since the original was released and proceeded to frighten audiences for decades. Few expected for the new release to have the same impact, but will it have any appeal to new audiences? Will horror fans be willing to accept it? The power of Christ compels us to talk about everything - and little of it is good.Adventures in Movies! is a part of the Morbidly Beautiful Podcast Network.
