## Resource

Everyone knows the legacy of The Exorcist , and conversely everyone knows the infamy of Exorcist II: The Heretic , a deeply hated follow-up to the original that jettisoned most of what made it work. Here we talk about the convoluted direction and ideas, the poor soundstage work, the Linda Blair fetishism (creepy!) and a whole lot more. We're also drinking Sixpoint Brewing Company's Resin DIPA! Approximate timeline 0:00-13:00 Intro 13:00-20:00 Beer talk 20:00-end Exorcist II: The Heretic Difficult Films continues the month of May!
