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.

All the Feelings presents Sins and Virtues. This episode, Temperance. Tom, it's Temperance Day. We're teetotaling on the podcast. Are you excited?
I'm, no, I'm very restrained, actually. Along the lines of temperance. Yeah, I'm feeling very restrained. I'm modification. I'm feeling very weird. Yeah, exactly. All of those things. Temperance. This was an interesting one. I didn't see this one coming down the pike. And again, I was there when we came up with this idea.
I was vastly more interested in this topic than I thought I would be. Interesting. How come? Do you remember why? Well, first of all, because I expect it. I have an expectation now that all of the heavenly virtues are just straight-up religious tools of the early church. Sure. And it turns out this one has a much richer historical texture than I expected. Oh, interesting. And it is rooted in... There's still a lot of just straight-up moral code that is driven by this, but just the fact that it is so anchored in our... human history with alcohol i think is really funny yeah yes correct like the temperance movement yeah it's like the anthropocene like era had to work to make temperance be about stuff that wasn't don't get drunk like now it's about other things but if sure like when it was really big it was about don't get drunk those were the hands yeah it It leads to also women should have the right to vote.
Like that comes out of the temperance movement. Women's suffrage. That's fascinating.
This is what happens when you take whiskey out of people's hands. Everything goes haywire. We're letting women vote. We're busting up barrels and yeah.
Yes. Yeah. So I was just fascinated by it. I was fascinated by kind of the history of it. So, yeah, this one hit me out of left field. Where do you want to start? What do you want to do? Do you have a thing? Do you want to talk about anything specific?
