Caitlin is joined by Exorcist mega-fan Alyssa to talk about about the iconic film. Themes, production, reception, the novel, the "true story," trivia - we cover it all! Alyssa also wanted me to note her favorite Exorcist fact that we forgot to mention on the show: Evangelist Billy Graham claimed an actual demon was living in the celluoid reels of this movie. Pazuzu is powerful in all forms, even (especially?) film reel! Enjoy our Regan/Pazuzu impressions, which are too vulgar to write here.

Elizabeth and new guest "Boner Joe" join Caitlin to talk about The Rage: Carrie 2. We get our very own "Felissa Rose, mangled dicks" hotline moment, we talk about virginity as an outdated concept, and we challenge one another on whether marijuana addiction is a real thing. Caitlin and Joe say no; Elizabeth says yes. What do you think? Also, the book Caitlin couldn't remember is Jessica Valenti's The Purity Myth. She also cites Period Power: A Manifesto for the Menstrual Movement by Nadya Okamoto.

Caitlin is joined by Chase, the only friend who will tolerate her love of American Horror Story while still gently challenging her to think critically about it. This episode is about season 3 episode 1 of American Horror Story Coven, but we touch on AHS tropes and themes as a whole. Ryan Murphy, hit me up. Also, come answer for your crimes.

A surprise bonus episode! Friend of the show Mary joins Caitlin to read through listener-submitted questions and stories. We heard from anonymous, Whitney, Roger, and Erica on this one. The coming age stories were hilarious, and the questions were fantastic. Keep sending them in! As our friend Zelda Rubinstein says: "All are welcome!"

Elizabeth and Stephanie join Caitlin to talk about 2019's The Other Lamb. Drink every time we say the word patriarchy. Just kidding, please don't. You'll get alcohol poisoning. Tune in for our discussion around a patriarchal separatist cult that slaughters lambs and also *slaughters lambs* (symbolically). We thought we were smarter than this movie. We probably aren't. But we had a lot of fun with it.

Caitlin is joined by Alyssa and Adam to talk about the oft-forgotten 1977 movie Audrey Rose. Caitlin consults two experts on this one. Adam brings his perspective as an attorney, although he hasn't covered a reincarnation or possession case... yet. Alyssa brings her perspective as a teacher, and she confirms that you should not let students dance around an open flame. Together we debate whether the child was possessed or reincarnated, and we also speculate as to whether of not Anthony Hopkins was born a 50 year old man. Alyssa and Caitln also bond over PCOS! Don't know what that is? Listen and find out!

Elizabeth and Chase return to talk about a found footage favorite: The Last Exorcism. Turns out Nell isn't the only one with confused ideas about puberty. Listen as Chase, Elizabeth, and Caitlin discover how deeply they misunderstood sex and bodies. One thing that isn't confusing: our love for Ashley Bell, found footage, and the twists and turns in this movie.
