Episode 103: Linda Blair & Mercedes McCambridge - "The Exorcist" (1973)

The power of Christ compels us this week to discuss another mother-daughter Best Actress/Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominated horror movie, "The Exorcist"! BSP alum Ellen Burstyn is gunning for a Weston as Chris McNeil, either for her expert mom work or her jangly talking through tears. We have much to say about the nomination of Linda Blair as well as the recognition of Mercedes McCambridge for her voice work, and the overall impact of the Oscar winning sound design. Plus: watching this movie with a Catholic upbringing, some weird childhood memories of "The Heretic: The Exorcist II," thoughts on the use of the iconic Mike Oldfield music, a tangent about "Misery," reasons to revisit "Pieces of a Woman" and our feelings on Ouija boards as toys to contact the dead.
