Leap of Faith: William Friedkin on The Exorcist

<p>Our episode this week is specially curated by our guest, Andrew Nelson. The Exorcist is arguably the most iconic landmark in horror film cinema, and in this intimate and lyrical documentary, he is given full attention to share his insights into the crafting of the film, its cultural impact, and its enduring legacy. There are remarkable observations about the mystery of faith, the human experience, and the creative process along the way. Our conversation about it takes down paths of exploring and observing the grace notes in our own lives and confronting the terrifying possibilities of the spaces where we find ourselves truly alone.</p><p>This is a vulnerable and honest conversation, but also saturated with hope. Also featuring a Patron segment about the Cursed Films episode on The Serpent and the Rainbow and a special post-credits original song by Andrew, it's one we really believe you'll enjoy and we hope you do.</p><p>8:44 - Business Time</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/thefearofgodpodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Patron Only Segment</a>: CURSED FILMS: The Serpent and the Rainbow #tvguideposts</p><p>12:19 - LEAP OF FAITH: William Friedkin on The Exorcist</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
