Before we dive in, here's another show you can enjoy in the True Story FM family of entertainment podcasts.
Well, howdy, folks. My name is Lester Ryan Clark.
And I'm Kenan Diaz.
And we're the hosts of The Exorcist Minute, a show where we examine, extrapolate, and excavate the scariest movie of all time.
Each episode covers a single minute of William Friedkin's 1973 horror masterpiece, The Exorcist. If you like deep dives, this show is the deepest. Did you know the film's iconic theme song, Tubular Bells, wasn't written specifically for the movie?
Or that the 1973 audience members were throwing up and fainting in the theater before they ever got a glimpse of the demon?
Or what about all the crazy on-set mishaps, cast injuries, the director firing real guns?
Ever wonder where Ouija boards came from or how they got their name? How about some history on the Catholic Church or the Roman rite of exorcism? Or maybe we can tempt you with some juicy demonology lore. Did you know that Pazuzu had an ex-wife? Find The Exorcist Minute on iTunes or Spotify or wherever you listen to your shows or at TheExorcistMinute.com.
Until next time, folks, the power of the exorcist compels you.
Ever wonder what bridges the gap between your favorite film genres, subgenres, and movements? CinemaScope is here to explore these connections, taking you on a thrilling odyssey through the ever-evolving art of cinema. I'm your host, Andy Nelson, and in each episode, we embark on a deep dive into the forces that sculpt the world of film. From the styles you know and love, like heist films or the French New Wave, to the ones you may not be as familiar with, like Turkish Yeşilçam or Brazilian Nordesterns, My expert guests and I unravel the complex tapestry of storytelling style and innovation that defines the world of film as we unpack the myriad catalysts of change that shape these diverse styles.

What?
My view of greed is rooted in Western capitalistic kind of foundations. Sure. And it's not great. It's not going great. You mean America's reputation or just generally what you think of? Yeah. Yeah. Right. It's so loaded. Like it's such a heavily loaded term. And I also think that there are a lot of people who feel like greed is a motivator these days and not a classic, you know, cardinal sin. Yeah. Right.
So it's like, oh, I see a motive. Like, I'm greedy. Therefore, I am. So I want to go out and get mine and get yours.
