Schrader Ep. 26: Dominion: Prequel To The Exorcist (2005) with Chadd Harbold

The power of 'cast compels you, listener - to enjoy this week's episode! Paul Schrader was hired to replace John Frankenheimer as director of a prequel to THE EXORCIST, and things only got stranger from there. Our pal, and producer of the new film CRUMB CATCHER, Chadd Harbold returns to the show to help us discuss Schrader's DOMINION: PREQUEL TO THE EXORCIST (and Renny Harlin's reworked version, EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING). It's all here: the auteur theory proven correct(???), crises of faith, British imperialism, the theme song from POKEMON: THE FIRST MOVIE. Check it out!
