Speaker: Hey everybody, Tim here. Thanks for checking out this episode and I want to warn you in advance. This episode sounds a bit like hot garbage, partially because there were five of us in one room recording on a single microphone. That is not how I like to do things, we are typically in our own houses, but we had everybody over, minus Nikki, and I had this grand scheme of having everybody set up on these different mics, but everything failed right before recording, so I said screw it, we'll use one point right up in the air,
Speaker: and see how it goes, and it didn't go that well. So if this is your first time listening to us, please don't judge us too hard on this one episode. Go listen to something else that sounds much better, and for our OSW faithful, give us some grace. We'll return to some semi -high quality stuff in the future, but thanks for checking it out and enjoy this review of The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
Speaker: in our mad libs, even though you can't hear it that great, I'm going to have it rerecorded with our special overdub voice so you can hear it in all its disgusting glory. So thanks for checking it out, guys, and we'll see you next time. And now your feature presentation.
Speaker: In the world of big budget blockbusters, travel back in time to explore the epic and not so epic movies of yesteryear. This is On Second Watch, a movie nostalgia podcast.
Speaker: This episode would be a little bit different because we're all recording in one room except for Nicki who's not here, but she's here to also make this just like it was back. Jesus. This was the first time we did it. 2019. We recorded four episodes in one room using one mic. Yeah, I'm counting 20 then. I remember that shit happened. And then obviously we did a couple more. Jaws we did.
Speaker: Big trouble, little China. I think it was the last one we got. We're all in person. I had this grand plan of using three different mics with five people, because that's all I had. But it didn't work. So we're using one mic aimed straight up in the air to capture all our voices at one time. So obviously the quality of this audio is going to be great. I just like to yell, so. But then there's Nikki, who will be by herself with her own audio. So she'll sound fine. She's like, I'm not talking. I'm talking to him. Nikki's just like listening to Happus.
Speaker: And she's like, why did I agree to this again? I could have said I was going to be on vacation still for this shit. She's like, I watch this terrible fucking movie.
Speaker: Oh, I'm excited to talk about it, actually. My name is Tim, your ringleader. We also have our horror expert, Chris, who's going to weigh in heavily. You got to really accent that term, man. You're starting to sound like the whore expert. I'm not taking kindly to that. Where's Chris in the corner? He's the whore expert. I'm in so much debt. It's my scale of 110. I guess Bruce Willis enthusiast. Is that what we want to call you? I don't know if that's even accurate, but we can go there. David, who sees mostly for the first time.
Speaker: Um, speaking of whores... Oh, it's Carrie! I don't know if you're talking about me or Dan, but you can... It's impossible. You know what? I could be a really good whore. Just said. I don't want to sit next to him anymore. I could be a delight in your bedroom. Absolutely not. I was going to say the doctor in the flesh.
Speaker: We got Kerry! It's Care Bear! In flesh. Traveling all the way through town. Worrying at Lois and I. Everyone's favorite creeper Uncle Spaz, who was currently playing with all my daughter's toys. Let's make sure they're explicitly clear, dude. Not only was he playing with the toys, in creepy Uncle Fashion, he showed up. What? That's right. Hungover. Oh, so hungover. Rolled in with glasses on. Smells like desperation and scotch. Yes! Scotch from Scotland!
Speaker: Oh God. We still gotta be drunk. And then the sweet and innocent Nicky, who suggested the category based on a true story with all the best intentions. And we ended up with a horror movie. Might be you Nicky. Sweet summer child. It's one of the scariest movies out there. Yeah. Learn my lesson. Thanks guys. More explicit rules next time.
Speaker: After spinning that wheel, we landed on Spazza's movie, 2005's American supernatural horror -legal drama film, The Exorcist of Emily Rose. This is very, very loosely based on a true story of Annalise Wickel from Germany, who underwent 67 exorcism rites in the last year of her life. Let's see, we got a screenplay written and directed by Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman, starring Laura Linney as Giddip Grady Brunner.
Speaker: Tom Wilkinson, his father, Richard Moore, Jennifer Carpenter is Emily Rose. And with a budget of 19 million, it mean 145 million in the box office and currently sits at a 6 .7 IMDB. Should be higher. Disagree, but we'll get into that. We are face to face. I am not afraid to hit you in the nuts. I will pay you $20 to punch Dan by the end of tonight.
Speaker: I'll do it for free.
Speaker: Are you still listening? Great. This is normally the time where we would do our trivia based on this movie but it didn't sound great since everyone's laughing and talking over each other so I just decided to just delete it all. So you have a little bit of background on what happened. There's a lot of errors because of...
Speaker: I don't know, connectivity, some people weren't connected to my wifi, so questions weren't showing up at the right time. Let's just say there was some arguing over who actually won this, but Chris ended up coming out on top. I think he got all the questions right, so he chooses our next category. So let's just skip over that whole segment and jump straight into our Mad Libs.
Speaker: Let's do it. Aw, man. Yeah. Let's get weird. Alright. It's gonna get weird. So it just so happens there are three female and three male characters that end up in my Madledge. So I think it's only fair that we proper associate each other with the appropriate gender. Okay. I'll be Emily Rose.
Speaker: I mean, if you wanted me, I'm pretty sure I could play a possessed person pretty well. Can you do it where it's like Carrie, Dana, Nikki, like say one, two, three, and you just assigned to do that. How about this? I want Carrie to get fucked up like usual. So let's do that. I mean, that's up to you guys to choose my words.
Speaker: It's going to happen anyways. Let's do it. Let's do it that way. Let's do it that way. Let's just look at it. All right, Nikki, choose your number one, two, or three. Two. Oh, damn it. One. All right, Carrie. Well, now that I've heard that, I'm going to do three. We're going to screw Dana over.
Speaker: Uh, poor Dina. It's all right. I don't think it can be topped. We've already called it. We can't top carry stuff in the past. This gets a little weird because it's, uh, there's someone plays a priest and... Okay. Oh, I hope it's fast. I hope it's fast. All right, it's fast. One, two, or three. One. Damn it. Oh, two. What's two? Oh, no. You're in for one. You're in for one. Damn it. I want to be the priest. Three. Three. Chris is the priest. I'm the priest.
Speaker: Okie dokie. Someone had to say it. Let's start out with, I need five nouns. Tits. Dang. That's a plural. So do you need singular? Tits. Tits. Tits. Didn't even skip a beat. Damn you, Lee. Yeah. Let's go with T. Yes. Boner. No, Dan. No more geniful anatomy references. Boys. No, let's hang over. It's...
Speaker: That's what he is. Don't Chris. The look at your face is awesome. I might get through that later. So what do we have so far? One, two, three teeth. A singular teeth. I'm looking around, I'm like doorknob. I'm like, doorknob, it's mine. Cherry. I'm looking at the curtain rods, we're going to move broad. Nikki says cherry.
Speaker: Because of Cherry Coke. Unicorn. There are a lot of those unicorns. There are a lot of unicorns over here. There's a lot. Now let's go with eight adjectives. Offensive.
Speaker: Why are you looking at me? Why are you looking at me? I'm not offensive. I'm honest. I'm offended by your presence. You smell offensive. Wait, what? I smell very delightful. How dare you? I put cologne on for this. I'll do stinky. All right. Stinky's a weirdo. So we have how long to do it, too? Okay. Greasy. Greasy? Oh, there it is. Let's go with Chris's favorite word, box.
Speaker: No, we're not. Moist, yes. Okay. Three C Moist. I'm a one. Two for Dana is. How many more do you mean? Four. What do we have so far? Four. No, I was, I was looking to have you. What'd you say, Nadie? I said blue. Because we're all blue.
Speaker: Yeah, I'm literally looking around to my seat. Soft. It'll look soft. I could go all day. It's fun. Oh, you were looking at me. No, I was thinking about eating later. One more. Crunchy. Crunchy. This is going to be so awesome. Crisp and eat crunchy butter for me. All right. I need a whole lot of herbs. Oh, God. How many? Nine. All right. That's one.
Speaker: Oh, come on. Why? Why? It was two of the nine and we already. Why? Why is it an innocent word? Sure. You guys were petting the dogs earlier. You gonna make that weird? She's sleeping right there. I can. Why, why, why do you gotta make it weird? That's Spaz's job. Mine was an innocent bird. With ulterior motives. It's a little verb. Yes, it is. Bite. Cranking.
Speaker: I'm so scared. Mickey's face! Why? Why? It's a little chipper! Spelunkering. Yeah, see? Maybe I need, you know, maybe I need to crank the clock or something. Right before I spelunk the minds. Okay, but the only things are things that are not good. Dripping. Mm -hmm. Drip. So we're not dripping. Tripping. Drip. With a T, I guess. Yes. Dripping. Shove. Drip. Shove. Ready, queen. Spanking.
Speaker: Now to the miscellaneous words. The first one is something that would terrify Nikki. This conversation. Spiders. Spiders. There you go. That terrifies me too, Nikki. The body part. Thumb. Smells one with a thumb. I'm actually, I'm impressed.
Speaker: And I want to say penis. I know you did. But I appreciate you going with thumb. A type of doctor. Proctologist. God damn it. I'm spelunking. Thumbs, spelunking, and proctologist. This is only going to go terribly wrong. Knew it out of all the stuff. I guess you didn't say urologist. A liquid. Glue. A number. Six. Nine.
Speaker: 6, 6. 42. 6, 6, 6. 60 net. In reference to the move we were doing the song, I say 6, 6, 6. Or 3. 3am. 6, 6, 6. Number of the beast. 6. I need a shiny object. Glitter. Glitter, but face or face we should be... Glitter, yeah. I like shiny things. A felony.
Speaker: Arson. That wasn't even like a fun one. You just went straight down that dark wall. You were just like, Arson. I like lighting things on fire. Speaking of, something Chris would be arrested for. Arson. Absolutely, Arson. Aggressive jaywalking. Aggressive jaywalking, I like that. He was arrested for walking aggressively. Was that like just power strutting? I feel like jaywalk so many times before it would probably be something you'd get arrested for. I know, I don't really, yeah.
Speaker: Something gross. Yeah. Dan. Yeah, Spaz works. Spaz is a vocabulary. I have a lot of weird things going on in my head right now. Yeah, I was going to say Dan's mind, but. Yeah, that's right. It is quite a wasteland. It's something. Something terrifying. Spaz is mine. Actually accurate. Demons. I like it. Demons. Demons.
Speaker: Actually, Dana's mind. That's kind of fucked up. It's true. You know, it is. We don't give that enough time. It's quiet. Everybody. Everybody's right. It's quite what you go for brain dude. Fucked up. No, a large object that is not a person. Come on.
Speaker: I'm looking at the pine trees. I'm thinking if you fell one over and the trunk, it's a giant log whale. I want him to be a whale too. I'm saving my blog for later. That didn't come off. Oh my God. I feel like rooting this in person is going to be a lot more difficult. You guys ready for this? Let's do it. Yeah.
Speaker: Dana is an offensive teen girl frolicking her way through college when she suddenly experiences visions of spiders and thumb spasms.
Speaker: Yeah. Yeah. Always hit my kid. Always hit my kid. One, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three, four, five, six, one, two, three,
Speaker: Nikki is her greasy mother who is deeply religious. Yes. Yes. You chose that word. Stop blaming me. That's my own fault. Um, pets doorknobs in the Lord's name every day. Yes. That's awesome. That's awesome. Yes. That's all doorknobs. You got a lot of fun there, Mavi.
Speaker: They're desperate for answers after their proctologist prescription of several doses of food didn't work. She was using it wrong. They bite the church for answers. Father span! Here for the win baby!
Speaker: is a moist and stubborn old man. Yes, I am. Who believes Dayma is possessed by a demon? Feather Spaz performs 666 Exorcism rights and attempt to free Dayna. Oh, yeah. I got you, Dayna. I'm a wee awayness. I think you're pausing for so long is very concerning. Yeah, like that wasn't a word. He's already a moist old man. Yeah, stubborn old man. I'm moist and stubborn. Yeah, buddy. Like I'll take a photo on a summer day.
Speaker: Which includes pouring glue over her teeth.
Speaker: That is your white I am so happy about this Crinking Oh Wait what
Speaker: Oh, at least for one deal or odd. Wow, you're cramping back letters. Unfortunately, after tripping for three hours, Dana dies. She had a bad trip, man. What can I say? And Father Spaz was charged with arson. I'll take that.
Speaker: Taking his case is Carrie, the blue cherry lawyer. I don't know what that means. You're just successfully defended a case involving aggressive jaywalking. As she dives deeper into the case, Carrie begins to drip at 3 a .m. daily.
Speaker: I thought I was getting out. No. I thought I was getting out. Smells the scent of spaz and sees his mind in the shadows. Well, it's terrifying. One key witness to the exercise is Chris, a soft unicorn.
Speaker: And medical doctor who could authenticate the events but was unfortunately shoved by a whale and killed. You gotta watch out for those fuckers. Try to swim here. That's my wave whale.
Speaker: with evil spanking its way into the courtroom. It's up to Father Spaz's rotunda testimony. Yes. It carries crunching determination to share the truth behind the exorcism of Dana. Me and Carrie got this. We got this. Me and Carrie got this about me gluing Dana's teeth. No, it's not. This was a roller coaster of emotions. Yep. That was a good one. That was solid.
Speaker: Dana, I apologize for your teens. For some reason, when I read that line about pouring glue over Dana, I was thinking about the living la vida loca music video. Yeah, Ricky Mark. The candles. The candles. Say what? Living la vida loca. That's a song I didn't need to read. Pull shit and pull these down. No, never in la vida loca. Okey -dokey. So with that, let's talk a little bit about the actresses and her family rose.
Speaker: Why don't we share our thoughts about the film and then go ahead with your rewatch review. And Kerry, you said you were watching it through your fingers and you rated this a five. So why don't we have you go first?
Speaker: I watched it right after we picked watching this. So I'm glad I've had like a month to be compressed from this movie. Again, I had seen it before. It was equally terrifying the second time and disturbing. And Nikki, last time when we were talking about it, we were both saying like, yeah, like those religious movies are just like absolutely terrifying. Like the paranormal religious movies. And yeah, this stuff kept me up. I don't think I slept that night after watching this. Yeah, it was really terrifying. So.
Speaker: And then I had it in my head where Dan was telling me, if I'm still up at 3 a .m., I'm going to die, basically. And then I became 3 a .m. eventually and I was still up. So that was really unfortunate. You're welcome. So you smell sulfur.
Speaker: That's just a fire. Yeah, no, just as terrifying the second time. Don't want to watch this ever again. I just yeah, I don't know if it gets me. It gets me. But on the fact that I appreciate how well done it was because I felt
Speaker: Again, I just want to preemptively say that. I think my score was exactly where I want to leave it. A five. A five, right? In terms of how much I enjoyed it, it would be like a two. In terms of how much I appreciate that it made you feel like that. It gets the fives. It's going to break down. It made you feel sick, but all right. No. Not enthusiastic? No. It's a very un -enthusiastic.
Speaker: Dana, you gave it a four under nostalgia, and I think we found out when we rewatched this that we did see it before. Yes, I have actually seen this movie twice now. Huzzah! This is the movie you've seen. I have seen it. Yep, we went out of our way to see it.
Speaker: Really long time ago. I don't remember. And the theaters? No, I don't think it was in the theaters, but it was probably shortly after it came out. I actually did not mind the movie. It may be the only horror movie that I did not mind. It did not freak me out. Right. Maybe it's because I knew what was coming. Yeah. I mean, I thought it was pretty well done. I don't have any, I don't really have any negative things to say overall. Is it something I'm going to watch again? Probably not. But I'm like, but overall I didn't hate it or anything. So.
Speaker: I'm gonna actually, you said I was at a five? Four. Four. Four? You gave it a six. Oh, shit. Ooh. This was a pleasant surprise. Nobody expected that. The game is coming in. She's seen it before. It's the amazing part. That is amazing, yeah. And I didn't hate it. That's even better. I know. I'm just quickly going through here to see when was the last time dinosaur jumped up two whole points? Probably never. There's plenty of going down to it.
Speaker: Uh, let's see, the last one was actually, of all things, Jurassic Park. Hell yeah. There you go. That's fair. Carrie Samby, well that one. All right, why don't we round it out? Nikki, you had not seen this movie before, right? Yeah, I don't touch anything in this genre by choice.
Speaker: I told you, you gave it a one. You gave it a straight one. I was real pissed about having to watch it. Yeah, I remember. You probably want to do the computer and everything to kill me. I curse your name more than once, I think, Dan. Yes. I would like to publicly apologize. Sorry. Because actually, having to have to watch the movie, which, again, I hate this genre, anything,
Speaker: I don't like staring movies in general, but the ones that I really, really don't like are anything that, like, Carrie said, like...
Speaker: demons, shit like that, but especially with space and a true story. I mean, come on. The thing I have at the end of a movie is this is all made up, you know, and it's based on a true story. I can't say that. So like, did not like that. But I thought this movie was really well done. And I really liked the way that a lot of it was playing out through the courtroom. I thought that was really interesting to see, you know, arguing both sides of the case. And Laura Linney was so good in it, like,
Speaker: the explanation when she had a priest on the stand and the explanation of the witching hour and the rationale behind Y3 and the M. Her eyes, I mean, the priest kind of ruined it later because he's like, I saw your eyes. You've been visited, haven't you? But it was so good. I thought, I watched this in the beginning of the day, so I had plenty of time to watch a comedy after and, you know, not have nightmares. I have not had any nightmares. I have thought about it every single day since I watched it.
Speaker: Scared movies stay with me like that. So maybe in like six months, I'll be over it fully. I don't know. I'm fine. Like I was up at 3am one day and I thought about it, but I was like, see, it's fine. I'm fine. Everything's fine. But I because it was I think it was so effective. I think it deserves to be above middle of the road. I'm going to give it a six as well.
Speaker: If I ever wanted to see it again, I would give it higher, but nope, don't plan to do it. It's because I hadn't seen it, right? And so I didn't want to see it. I still feel the same way, although I have to admit, like it was actually really well done.
Speaker: Sure to watch it at night, Nikki. Yes. No. See, I love myself too much. Yeah, I love myself too that this time. With the lights off. That was rough. Lights off, watching on a night, it's best time to watch it. Does you always think that there's actually something behind you, just standing behind you while you watch it? Right. Well, kudos to you for owning it, even though this spin the wheel went totally awry from what you thought it was going to be.
Speaker: That's the way it goes sometimes, though. Alright, I'll go next, because I came in with a 5 with my nostalgia. I'll save Chris and Spaz, because you guys gave an 8 and 9, so we gotta break that down a little bit. It didn't scare me. I didn't get jump scares or anything like that, even though it's based on a true story that was very, very loosely. It wasn't like a typical horror movie where I expect just crazy things to happen or crazy goras. This had no gore in it. I guess you... What's up with the doctor that gets hit by the car?
Speaker: So that is funny though. I'm sure you've heard about the trivia on IMDB about that. So that was due to the producer's meddling. He was originally supposed to have a heart attack due to how scared he is the whole time.
Speaker: but they wanted something more dramatic, so they had them fumbling out into the road and getting slapped by a cop. That's why it's so... Because he sees the cloaked figures. I know that. That's why it's so... It doesn't fit. The whole movie meshes well, and there's that one scene where you're all just like, what? But yeah, that's because they wanted something more junk, scary, meddling, and so the producers got involved and made that, and it sucked. Yeah, that's weird. Like I said, this movie, it's more like disturbing than scary. Well, it makes you think.
Speaker: Yeah. It's not a jump scare. I tolerate those better than this. And I thought that the courtroom stuff was decently done. I feel like Dan and I have been watching a lot more courtroom type shows. I watched The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix, the series, which was really, really good. I thought it was an okay film. It didn't do too much for me. I don't really go out of my way to watch horror films anyway.
Speaker: I thought this had enough. I thought that Jennifer Carpenter was like killed in this role. She was amazing. I did read that they had a whole lot of dolls and stuff made to do all these contortions and stuff, but they liked her interpretation and ability to bend her body and react in certain ways so much better than the dolls can ever do. I thought she was the best part of this film, just seeing what she could do.
Speaker: made it really enjoyable from that perspective, just being really creepy. So I mean, overall, it just kind of was there for me. I came in with a five. I'll probably, in the interest of two sixes in a row, I'll just say a six.
Speaker: Could make a 666. Ready to go. It was really well done. And I think the fact that they didn't go over the top with CGI weirdness, obviously they had some scenes where the bleeding on the posters and the stained glass and the faces as she's like running out of the dorm or in the church and things like that. They kept it to a minimum and left it mostly to her reactions and her behaviors and things like that. That was, I thought she'd just ask her what the performance if you asked me how she was really owning
Speaker: these demonic possessions so kudos are her and so I'll come in with a six really well done I wasn't one of those scary films to me but that's okay so that takes us to Chris you gave it an eight yep so I mean it's probably pretty apparent now but this is one of my favorite movies and re -watching it again because it has been a while since I watched it you know you are like I joke about it being scary
Speaker: It's not really scary, but as someone who really does enjoy horror movies a ton, like there's obviously multiple different genres, but possession, exorcism movies, demonic movies, those always scare me a little bit more than your stereotypical slasher flick, creature flick, you name it. So I do, and I like this movie because it's such a different approach
Speaker: to the Possession movie. Even though we've seen The Exorcist, we've seen, you know, there's a, you know, Domet does it, someone gets possessed, you know, yeah. I like this one because of the split story. You have the flashbacks of Emily Rose's character and what she was going through.
Speaker: and then a lot of it takes place in the courtroom. It's a courtroom drama with dashes of horror. The reason it was so scary to me when I was younger and unsettling is, like you've already said, Jennifer Carper's performance in this movie is unnerving. Some of the faces she makes, some of the way she contorts her body, like to me is just naturally unsettling. I can do jump scares all day long. Like actually the director that did this went on to do Sinister,
Speaker: which everyone's like, oh, it's super scary. I didn't think it was that scary. But like, just as an example, but for this, this movie gets under my skin because of her faces, because of the context of the movie. And I'm a sucker for like remote, rural farmhouse, creepy, foggy farmhouse movies. Like just that sets the scene so well. Needless to say, I do very much enjoy this movie and rewatching it was nice because it's been a few years since I sat down to watch it.
Speaker: So I'm gonna bump it to a nine because this is still, it still holds up really well. And looking at the trivia, I know as to why. They deliberately made a lot of stuff vague as far as like, you know, what college she went to, what year is it? Like they, and the reason is, is because the director was like, I want this to be quote unquote, like timeless. Like you can watch it nowadays. And there's some things, obviously, you don't see everyone glued to their cell phone in this movie. So obviously, you know, it's a little bit older and things like that. And things are doing like a little dated, you know,
Speaker: technology wise but it's still for the most part kind of timeless you can throw it on and be like oh you know you know world town middle of nowhere you know maybe they aren't you know super tech savvy you know anyways yeah i don't know i think it still holds up really well i really enjoy getting the opportunity to watch it again so yeah i'm gonna give it a nine it still checks all the boxes creepy entertaining makes you kind of think a little bit makes three of them just a wee bit creepier if you do wake up to go to the bathroom you know the usual
Speaker: I told Dana it was funny because normally I get my crazy ideas of creative things to do, but I wake up at three o 'clock and pouring on the dot. Always. So now I know. It's the devil. This podcast exists because of the devil. The devil made me do it. Yes. All right, Spaz, you came in hard in a nine. Yeah, I'm going to keep it there.
Speaker: But pretty much everything you guys said is pretty much what I was going to say. Jennifer Carpenter, her role was just the shit that she did was just fantastic.
Speaker: I mean, the contortion, body contortions, faces, the screaming that she was doing. She had to have no voice after this movie. And it makes you think, you know, like what I told you when I watched this, I started it at three in the morning today. And for the entire movie, I was like, I had just kept looking over my shoulder because I felt like there was like just something there. It's like, hmm.
Speaker: As long as I don't still smell sulfur, I should be good. Man, that's... I like those kinds of poor movies. I do like the possession movies myself because, I don't know, it just... I'm weird. And it's like... It's like, you know what? I would like this. I want to see if I can take on one of them bastards. But, oh yeah, I say it. I say it. I'm like, come on demon, possess me. I want to kick your ass.
Speaker: But I also don't want that to happen either. But no, I just know this. And yeah, we're learning this movie was just fantastic as well. So I can't remember who the other lawyer was. Scott Campbell. Yeah, Scott Campbell. Yeah, he was just a good dick. Yeah, he was he was a real good dick.
Speaker: Yeah, no, he was really good too. I enjoyed his performance and everyone, I mean, everyone had a great performance in this movie, so that's why I'm gonna keep it in nine and I love this movie still, so.
Speaker: I remember correctly. It is one of Jennifer Carpenter's first rules. And it's because Laura Linney suggested her for the rule because they did a play recently and she was really impressed with her. Coming to find out later on, the director was so impressed and so disturbed by her audition. He literally hired her right then and there on the spot, which is pretty cool. I think, I mean, and he said, like, he says one of the most unnerving things that she does and it still scares him.
Speaker: is the silent screen that she does a lot. And yeah, that is one of the things that catches him off guard and was like, he'd make some as a director so comfortable. Yeah. And you look at it, she's got a couple of small bits, four small rolls before that five maybe. And then Dexter.
Speaker: Yeah, basically those exorcism Emily Rose and add Dexter. Yeah, I mean, she's probably one of the best, like, possessed people I've ever seen in a movie, like a possession movie. Especially because it was very minimal, any assistance was always heard. There was this scene in the church that I know they used, like, something to hold her so they could arch the harness.
Speaker: all the weird positions that she ended up in when her boyfriend wakes up. Born in her bedroom the first time they beat. They did digitally alter her voice, obviously, the two -tone stuff. 90 % of it was just her.
Speaker: Uh, non CGI effects, which is awesome. You're a terrifying set to work on. That bedroom, man, with all her scratching the walls with all that stuff. That's apparently based off of painting. I can forget the artist, but yeah, the design of that bedroom and the scratches is based on something. Eating spiders. That one, that one was just kind of makes me chuckle because it makes me think of, um,
Speaker: I don't like it. I don't like spiders. It makes me think of Black Dragon with Dead Love again. The Renfield keeps eating the spiders. Alright, with all our scores combined, our rewatch is a 6 .8, which is 1 .5 better than our nostalgia.
Speaker: And like we said with IMDb, it was a six, seven. Yeah. Like right there. We are the people. I mean, we're pretty good with sticking around IMDb. But IMDb, yes. Yeah. Rotten Tomatoes, not so much. I don't know Kofi Page. I had made a call to action to ask other people to share their thoughts about the exorcism of Emily Rose and Alicia Yellow Lodge came inside.
Speaker: I really have some trauma from that movie. I watched it when I was pretty young and I knew it was about real stuff that happened. So I couldn't sleep for days if you're watching it. And my siblings made it even worse with whispering Emily and creepy voices. I'm a real empath. And when I watch topics like this, I always imagine myself in a situation that freaked me out so much. So for me, it's still a horror movie. And I guess I will not watch it again.
Speaker: I will totally watch this movie again. I'm waiting for the 20th anniversary edition. So thank you Alicia for sharing that. And for all our movies going forward, I will be posting out on our Ko -fi page to collect some other thoughts. So if anyone wants to share our upcoming films, that's where to do it. And I will read it out loud and hopefully one day I can give away some more stuff. We will see.

Speaker: So thanks for listening and we'll see you next time. Spaz out.
Speaker: Dana is an offensive teen girl frolicking her way through college when she suddenly experiences visions of spiders and funspasms. Dana left school and returned home to her parents, Tim and Nikki. Tim is her stinky father who is best described as an emotional teat, but kind.
Speaker: Nikki is her greasy mother who is deeply religious and pets doorknobs in the Lord's name every day. Desperate for answers after their proctologists' prescription of several doses of glue didn't work, they bite the church for answers. Father Spaz is a moist and stubborn old man who believes Dana is possessed by a demon.
Speaker: He performs 666 exorcism rites in an attempt to free Dana, including pouring blue over her teat, cranking while holding glitter, and spellinking a rod. Unfortunately, after tripping for three hours, Dana dies, and Father Spaz is charged with arson.
Speaker: Taking his case is Carrie, the blue cherry lawyer who just successfully defended a case involving aggressive jaywalking. As she dives deeper into the case, Carrie begins to drip at 3 in the morning daily, smells the stench of Spaz's mind, and sees Dana's mind in the shadows. One key witness to the exorcism is Chris, a soft unicorn and medical doctor who could authenticate the events, but was unfortunately shoved by a whale and killed.
Speaker: With evil spanking its way into the courtroom, it's up to Father Spaz's rotund testimony and Kerry's crunchy examination to share the truth behind the exorcism of Dana.
