The Exorcist TV Series Review

In this week’s show we review the Fox TV Series “The Exorcist” which just completed it’s first season and is now available on Hulu.Based on the hit 1973 film by the same name (from a novel by William Peter Blatty), the show follows Father Tomas Ortega and Father Marcus Keane both exorcists from the Roman Catholic Church. The main victim of possession is Casey Rance daughter of Angela Rance played Geena Davis who is actually Regan MacNeil from the original story.The show expands “The Exorcist” universe to include other plot twists such as a plan to assassinate the Pope by a secret society made up of church leaders, a group of demons who are trying to take over Chicago by stealing organs from residents of poor neighborhoods and a group of rebel nuns that perform exorcism outside of official approval. The Salesman / Captain Howdy or Pazuzu, is depicted as an elderly gentleman who appears to Regan while playing with a Ouija board.Our guest Joe Balog, offers his perspective on the show and discusses the rite of possession including the litany of the Virgin Mary which is mentioned on the show and is not usually used for demonic possession.Mystic-Skeptic Radio produces programs such as Uncensored & Raiders of the Unknown.
