In this episode Laura and Sophie watch William Friedkin’s 1973 The Exorcist and discuss barf bags, supernatural detective stories and practical effects. Tangents include daddies, naming our pets after Demons and shitty male directors.

Note: we mix up a lot of names in this episode. Too many daddy Fathers to keep track of, sorry. Also if you’re Catholic, maybe avoid this one.
