1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Great to flick with. Benoche. Good morning, Good morning guys.

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 1: We're talking Russell Crow's The Exorcism this morning. Can I

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: just ask off the bat nothing to do with the

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Pope sexes. It's just about to say. Regular listeners might

5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: be hearing this and going, hang on a minute, have

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: we already done this? Did you just make that feeling

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: of days boo going on? So, last year he was

8
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: in a movie called The Pope's Exorcist where he paid

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: a Catholic priest who performed exorcisms. Right, so now in

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: this new movie, The Exorcism, he plays a Catholic priest

11
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: performing exorcisms, but they are completely unrelated. Even though The

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: Pope's Exorcist did pretty well at the box office and

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: they're probably making a sequel, this is not it. This

14
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with it. Okay, this is nothing.

15
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: So it gets even weirder because this second movie was

16
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: actually made first. No, so this movie was shot in

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, was in the can twenty nineteen before The

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Pope's Exorcist was even conceived, and then it went into development. Hell,

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: so it really languished during the pandemic COVID. No one

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: really knew what was going to happen with it. Maybe

21
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: they thought, I don't know if there's a market for it,

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: But then the Pope's Exorcist did pretty well and they're like, oh,

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: maybe we'll just go along with it, and so then

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: they've released it. So yeah, So this is the second

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Russell Crowe Exorcism movie months not related to a completely

26
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: different movie, and this one is so meta it might

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: be one of the most meta horror movies ever made.

28
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: So movies that reference other movies, right' that's the meta

29
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: thing for people who don't know. And you're ready. So

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: we're ready for a deep dive into the horror genre now.

31
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: So the director, Joshua Miller is the son of Jason Miller,

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: who played Father Damien Karras in The Exorcist back in

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. All Bloody the original, the original Exorcist

34
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: movie is considered probably the greatest horror movie of all time,

35
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: the scariest movie of all time. And so so the

36
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: son of Father Damien made this movie, The Exorcism. So

37
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he grew up hearing stories about his dad

38
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: making The Exorcist, and it was there were so many stories.

39
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: It was a famously trouble plagued production. The stars were injured,

40
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: serious back injuries. All sorts of weird stuff happened on

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: said people died. There was rumors that the production was cursed.

42
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: They actually had Catholic priests coming onto set to provide blessing.

43
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, pretty. There was a lot going on, so

44
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: urban myth urban myths around the original Exorcist movie. And

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: so Joshua Miller has decided, you know what, it'd be

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: cool to make a movie that references some of that stuff.

47
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: And so what he's done, He's made this film. And

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: the premise is these actors all get together to make

49
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: a horror movie about exorcisms. And the film in the film,

50
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: in the film see this is We're getting We're getting

51
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: metter now is called the Georgetown Project, which in itself

52
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: is a reference to the Exorcist, which was exactly original original.

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: The original Exorcist was shot in Georgetown. So so there

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: you go. So Russell Crowe plays an actor who's down

55
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: on his luck. He once was famous, so this is

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: very close to the reality. Guys came out. So he

57
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: was an actor who once had a very very you know,

58
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: superstar career and fell on hard times. Alcoholism. His wife

59
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 1: died of cancer, and so now he's trying to get

60
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: back to some sort of respect, rebuild his relationship with

61
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: his teen daughter. So he just takes on this job

62
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: starring in this exorcism movie playing a Catholic priest. But

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: as the production goes on, weird stuff starts to happen

64
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and he himself gets possessed by a demon. Yeah, so

65
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: it's taken. It's taking a risk. Yeah yeah, And so

66
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: so you go. You might be thinking, do you know what,

67
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: that's what a great idea for a film and for

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: horror officionados. So many references throughout the film to the

69
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: original Exorcist, which is a fun kind of thing if

70
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: you like Easter eggs and trainsport. And so the problem

71
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: with this film is so many laters. I'm talking about

72
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: the chocolate ones. They're good as well. And it's going

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: along and going Okay, I'm here with it. It's it's

74
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's not amazing, but it's going along. Okay,

75
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: you kind of you're getting invested in it. Sam Worthington

76
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: makes an appearance blink, and you're missing, So don't get

77
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: to attach to that. But then when Rusty gets the

78
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: demon inside here. That's when things start to go downhill

79
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 1: a little bit. And I'm not talking about in terms

80
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: of the plot. I'm talking about in terms of one's

81
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: enjoyment of the film. And never before have I seen

82
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: a movie where one single line has ruined it for me.

83
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: And so he's he gets he gets possessed by the demon,

84
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: and then he says something to his teen daughter that

85
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: is so off color. I was just no, I'm out,

86
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: You're out shame and it's just there's just no coming

87
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: editing room floor. Yeah. But the but then one of

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: the fun things about this film Donald Trump talking to

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: a bunker. Yeah. Really, it's the girl on the bus.

90
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: Not not not good. But maybe if you're a horror fan,

91
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: you like because Demon's a pretty you know, freaky decky,

92
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you get down with it. I remember

93
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Caros in the first You remember the great TV show Frasier.

94
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: So Nile, the brother David Hypius is in this film.

95
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: He plays like an actual Catholic priest who is on

96
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: set as a consultant. He is actually awesome. That's a fun,

97
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: piece of fun, piece of casting right there. And so

98
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: he he gets tasked with trying to save Russell Crow's

99
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: character from the Demon, and that's from that line. Well,

100
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: is there any music from thirty old foot of Grunts?

101
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: That's what's banned. Just to tell you how bad that

102
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: one line was. I would have rather listened to the

103
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: latest thirty on Full Grum album. That is indeed saying

104
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: something so yeah, so yeah, just didn't like it there. Well,

105
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: how many go ruscos are you? Are you giving? You know,

106
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,400

00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: All right, thank you bad Talk to you next week
