The Devil made us do it, and by "it," we mean reviewing the latest movies here at Breakfast All Day . We were not scared in the slightest by David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer," a direct sequel to the 1973 horror classic and the first of three films he has planned in the franchise. But we're extremely split on the wildly raunchy "Dicks: The Musical." One of us liked the A24 comedy and th...
