Author and educator Dr. Michael Arnzen returns to urge everyone to think critically about William Friedkin\\u2019s THE EXORCIST, a movie he says tries to discourage you from doing just that. In episode 147, Luke, James, and Mike explore the \\u201cScariest Movie of All Time\\u201d adapted from William Peter Blatty\\u2019s iconic novel.

Topics Include: the movie\\u2019s supposed curse as possible marketing, whether Friedkin gets enough respect, supernaturalism vs. realism, the echoes of the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, the parallel narrative of Father Karras, Linda Blair\'s injuries from a \\u201ctyrant\\u201d on set, religion vs. science, the film\\u2019s position in Horror canon, and what makes some stories catch on when similar contemporaries don\'t.
