1 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie. I'm welcome to Stuff One Never 2 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Told You production of iHeartRadio. Yes, I'm still by myself. 3 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: Samantha is down for the count with COVID right now. 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of travel coming up, so trying 5 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: to get ahead. And I will say for this episode, 6 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: I am largely quoting one article from tour dot com 7 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: called from the Exorcist to talk to me. Possession Films 8 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: teach us to Fear the Wrong Things by j R. Farasteros. 9 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: I hope I got that someone correct. That my good 10 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: friend Barry sent to me because he knows I love 11 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: all things possession, which is funny. I thought it was 12 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: kind of appropriate because we're wrapping up our religious miniseries Promise. 13 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: But I'm not religious. I am not religious at all, 14 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: but I do find myself drawn to these stories and 15 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: we're really focusing on Western Christian ideas of possession for this. 16 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 1: My mom wouldn't let me watch The Exorcist. She wouldn't 17 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: let me have it in her house because she was 18 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: so afraid of it. And I have just found myself 19 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: gravitating to a lot of these stories sometimes and sometimes 20 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: that gives me pause. I'm like, why am I being 21 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: drawn to this when I'm not religious, and I think 22 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: that's you know, I don't believe in ghosts either, but 23 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: I love ghost movies, so I don't think that's necessarily strange, 24 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: but it is strange when a lot of Christian law 25 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: is wrapped up in it. One of my favorite movies 26 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: now is The Exorcist, And another reason this was on 27 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: my mind is because William Friedkin has died recently, and 28 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: I also happened to see the new movie Talk to 29 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: Me with some friends. There will be minor spoilers for 30 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: that in here, but not that many. But when I 31 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: was watching it, it just occurred to me a lot 32 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: of the stuff in this article, a lot from these 33 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: quotes we're going to read that I was kind of like, huh, 34 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting who gets possessed in a lot of these movies? 35 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: What that says. 36 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: So that being said, let us start with our first quote. 37 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: Possession films are inescapably religious. What that means changes from 38 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: generation to generation and from culture to culture. As fans 39 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: of South Korea as the Whaling can attest, The Exorcist 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: is undeniably the grandfather of possession films as a subgenre. 41 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: Directed by William Friedkin. The Axiosist was released in nineteen 42 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: seventy three, and it's based on a book of the 43 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: same name written by William Peter Blattie that was released 44 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy one. The Exorcist was a box office juggernaut, 45 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: becoming the highest grossing movie of all time, a title 46 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: it held for forty years, and receiving ten Oscar nominations, 47 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: including Best Picture. Now, if you haven't read about this 48 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: movie and the reactions people had when it came out, 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: they're quite dramatic. People were getting sick, they were passing 50 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: out like it was a very intense and for some people, 51 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: very formative experience. I remember when I first started at 52 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: this job, I asked my coworkers what was the scariest 53 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: movie they'd ever seen. I'd say over half of them 54 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: said The Exorcist. Then I would not describe them as religious. 55 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: And it's just fascinating to me that it had that 56 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: much of an impact. And I do think it's important 57 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: to keep in mind the time when this came out, 58 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 1: and who was being possessed, what was the story going 59 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: on behind it in terms of You've got your single 60 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: mother who is a career woman and her sweet daughter 61 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: is the one that gets possessed. So that being said, 62 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: here's another quote to that point. The Exorcist is a 63 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: baby boomer horror movie. Through and through the good guys 64 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: here are the institutional church embodied by the two priests. 65 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: Both the book and film were released in a time 66 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: of cultural anxiety, particularly with regard to religion. The FDA 67 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: authorized the birth control pill a decade later in nineteen sixty, 68 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: which gave women control over their reprojective system for the 69 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: first time in history, with predictable outcomes. Not just the 70 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: free love movement of the sixties, but a massive change 71 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: in marriage habits and the twenty years after the pill 72 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: was released, divorce rates more than doubled, are the percentage 73 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: of adults over eighteen who are married. Plummeted into this milieu, 74 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: Laddie and Friedkin give us the story of a broken 75 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: home in which a young girl is tormented by puberty 76 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: demon and can only find solace when a father comes 77 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: into the house. As Jude Doyle explains in Dead Blondes 78 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: and Bad Mothers, Reagan's smooth baby skin erupts and scabs 79 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: over into weeping, discolored mess. She has outbursts of temper, 80 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: insults and resists authority figures, makes display of sheer pointless defiance. 81 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: She talks obsessively about sex, mostly to shock people. She masturbates, 82 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: she bleeds from her vagina. In other words, Reagan becomes 83 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: a teenager. Her demon is puberty. And yeah, I would 84 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: also add she curses a lot. That's kind of a 85 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: plot point. Is like, oh, she's cursing now. Basically she 86 00:05:55,640 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: goes from like your very innocent and heavy quotes young child, 87 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: too not messy, angry, somewhat violent. I don't know, maybe 88 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: I'm being too nice, violent, obsessed with sex, yeah, obsessed 89 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: with shocking people, like saying things to shock people. And 90 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: she she is like, she's at the right age for 91 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: puberty for sure, and she does. I thought that was 92 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: interesting pointing out like the father has to come into 93 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: the house. I hadn't really thought about that. And I 94 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 1: also want to come back and do a follow up 95 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: episode about nuns now that the nun has become this 96 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: horror icon and talk about nuns and horror. But yeah, 97 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: that's how she's saved. As a father comes into this 98 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: house with where her biological father is notably accent, she 99 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: gets the church father is the one that saves her. 100 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: The quote continues. The Exorcist is family based on a 101 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: true story and exorcism performed in Saint Louis in nineteen 102 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: forty nine. The real child was a boy, not a girl, 103 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: and he came from a two parent home. The framework 104 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: that resonated so strongly with moviegoers in nineteen seventy three 105 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: was entirely artifice, a reflection not of the true story, 106 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: but of white American anxieties. So yeah, I mean, that's 107 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: interesting that they thought this would hit more with audiences 108 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: that it was a young girl. And in a lot 109 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: of the exorcism movies I've seen, it is often a 110 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: young girl or young woman. I had a friend say 111 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: to me recently, why is I think he was talking 112 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: about Monster Squad. It's been a long time since I've 113 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: seen Monster Squad. But why did the virgin have to 114 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: be a woman? Why? What? There is a lot of 115 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: male virgins about? But yeah, I mean, I think that 116 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: goes back to the ultimate corruption, And a lot of 117 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: our horror is young, usually white girls who are innocent. 118 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: But when it happens with men, I feel like it's 119 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: much more often uses they kill their whole family or 120 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: something are a very violence, whereas with women it's much 121 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: more like take their soul. That's just my experience. 122 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: There's a lot of movies about possession and extorcism. 123 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: The quote continues. Compare that to James Wand's twenty thirteen 124 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: The Conjuring, also based on a true story, though set 125 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: in the early nineteen seventies, the Conjuring embodies the anxieties 126 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: of millennials rather than their boomer parents. The Warrens contact 127 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: the Catholic Church to obtain an exorcism, but because the 128 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: parent family isn't Catholic, approval for the right must come 129 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: from the Vatican, and the Warrens are convinced the family 130 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: won't survive long enough for that approval to come. In 131 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: the reality, the child of another family did die in 132 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: Bashida's care, and she was tried for murder, with rumors 133 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: swirling that she had sacrificed the child in an act 134 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: of witchcraft. The court found her innocent, however, But yeah, 135 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: that movie is very much my friends and I like 136 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: to joke again, I enjoy this movie, but we like 137 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: to joke that it's sort of like superhero Christians like 138 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: swooping in and it is that the first one is 139 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: very much about motherhood, and that's sort of how it's 140 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: like Bashievah's ultimate sin is that she's killing these children, 141 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: and that's how they save the main woman, the mother 142 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: of the family, is they remind her of like how 143 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: important her children are to her, which is not necessarily 144 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: a bad storyline. It's just worth examining why that is. 145 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: There's also a lot of messaging about the dangers of 146 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: not following God. There's a whole warning about you, you know, 147 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 1: you need to get your children baptized or else, sort 148 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: of almost blaming them like this wouldn't have happened if 149 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: you had followed God. The quote continues ed Warren is 150 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: successful not because of the church, but despite the Church. 151 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 1: What matters in the conjuring is not religious affiliation but belief, 152 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: a particularly millennial attitude embodied by the phrase spiritual but 153 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: not religious. Nearly a third Millennials claim no religious affiliation, 154 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: compared with just thirteen percent of boomers and twenty percent 155 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: of Gen X, whose defining possession film might be the 156 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: middle finger to the American dream that is Beetlejuice. And 157 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: I think that's really fascinating. I think that's interesting to 158 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: look in how it's shifted with generations, because I would agree. 159 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: When I read that the whole spiritual but not religious, 160 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that describes a lot of my friends. 161 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: I even I remember having a very long conversation with 162 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: a big group of my friends about this movie that 163 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: was pretty much about like the Vatican was trying to 164 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: cover up this lost I don't know part of the Bible, 165 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: and the lost part of the Bible was just saying, 166 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: like the religion is, it's not the church, it's not 167 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:18,079 Speaker 1: the stone, it's not the building that is spiritual or 168 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: religious or is going to save you. It's within you. 169 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: It's being spiritual. And it was funny to me because 170 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: I can't even remember the day. If I just tried 171 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: to some of you, I bet some of you do know, right, 172 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: But it wasn't like a really well known movie, but 173 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: a lot of us have seen it and had heard 174 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: that part like yeah, resonated, But the quote continues to 175 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: generalize a bit. Boomers love church. Gen Z rebelled against church. 176 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: Millennials look for spirituality outside of church. Gen Z doesn't 177 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: think about church much at all, which there has been 178 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: a lot of headlines about that recently. I've I've seen 179 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: quite a few, and we have been talking about that 180 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: in our religious mini series. Okay, and then here is 181 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: final quote. It's perhaps an unavoidable feature of possession films 182 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: that they teach us to be afraid of the wrong things. 183 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: Often what's implicitly demonized is equality and dignity, single parents, 184 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: female sexuality, grief. We didn't even cover how insidious chapter 185 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 1: two demonizes transgender people. Possession films, whether intentionally or not, 186 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: communicate that a world without institutionalized faith is a world 187 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: where we're at the mercy of evil powers that wish 188 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: to do as harm. But when the institutions we're told 189 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: should protect us prey upon us instead, maybe it's time 190 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: to take our chances. Possession films, even those as groundbreaking 191 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: as talked to me, are conservative at their heart, But 192 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: maybe gen Z has the right of it. Perhaps those 193 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: institutions that have proven themselves so untrustworthy aren't worthy of conservation, 194 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: which I think relates back to what we've been talking 195 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: about in this religious mini series, that we have so 196 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: many examples of harm that these institutions have done, and 197 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: that's not to say they haven't done good, and that 198 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: that inherently makes religious people somehow wrong or something like that. 199 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: Not at all. I think it's just questioning, as always, 200 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: these messages that are being communicated to us through entertainment 201 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: that we enjoy, which I enjoy. Like I said, the 202 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Exorcist is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. 203 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: I really love the conjuring it, but it has always 204 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: struck me who is targeted, who is possessed? Who does 205 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 1: the saving? And that sort of message is still there, 206 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of us recognize that. I 207 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of us recognize that it's often very 208 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: conservative in nature of like, oh, why does it have 209 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: to be a virginal girl who gets possessed and is 210 00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: being tempted that going through puberty aka a demon? I 211 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: think a lot of us know that. But I just 212 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: wanted to bring that up because I have been thinking 213 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: about it recently, and in case anyone else has any 214 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: other thoughts about it, maybe you remember the name of 215 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: that movie I was talking about. I'm sure it's gonna 216 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: count of you right after this is over, or if 217 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,400 Speaker 1: you have any suggestions, Samantha and I would love them. 218 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm really sad she wasn't here for this one, but 219 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,239 Speaker 1: we'll have to come back to it in the meantime. 220 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: You can email us at Stefida moms Stuff at iHeartMedia 221 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: dot com.
