This week is another revisit of the 1973 classic, The Exorcist. This is the first time watching for one of us and the fifth time for the other. This movie has so much detail we had to lock in an hour of conversation for it.

Romanus and I look at one of horror auteur Wes Craven's many classics. A postmodern satire on the slasher genre, Scream is a horror film that fully lets the viewer in on itself.
