Some call it “spiritual warfare.” We call it centuries of trauma reenactments performed by bad cosplayers with holy water. The catholic church has been staging exorcisms since 1614 — turning mental illness, grief, and hysteria into holy horror shows for the masses. 

In this episode, we dig into the church’s obsession with exorcism, from Emma Schmidt and Roland Doe to Clara Germana Cele — the so-called “true stories” that inspired The Exorcist. We unravel how priests, nuns, and the Vatican mistook trauma for demons, weaponized fear for faith, and built a billion-dollar horror franchise in the process.  You’ll learn about:

• The Vatican’s exorcism playbook (and its surprisingly recent “Don’t Touch the Children” rule)
• How Catholic exorcisms blurred the line between ritual and abuse
• The twisted legacy of William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist
• The International Association of Exorcists (yes, that’s a real thing)

🎧 Part two of our mini-series on The Exorcist — next episode we’re diving into the Protestant flavor of possession panic.

Satan Is My Superhero brings you irreverent, fast-paced satire on religion, conspiracy theories, and cultural myths. Listen, laugh, and learn as we expose the ridiculous and the dangerous with comedy, history, and blasphemy.

Remember when priests became celebrities, horror became religion, and America decided to collectively believe Satan was real?  Yeah—that was The Exorcist’s fault.
Join us as we dig into the 1940s “possession” hoax that inspired the film, the novelist who sold it as truth, and the church that cashed in on the chaos.
This is how one movie turned fear into faith—and jump-started fifty years of Satanic Panic!

Back before the Misfits shirt was a cult wardrobe staple, and long before Metallica covered them, the Misfits were a scrappy New Jersey punk gang chasing horror-movie dreams— led by a frontman who thought he was Elvis possessed by Satan. 

In this episode of Satan Is My Superhero, we dive into the Danzig era (1977–83)—the fights, the graves, the sticky-floored clubs, and the sound that rewired punk into something darker and bloodier.

The Four Horsemen have arrived — and one of them might be riding a green My Little Pony named Minty. Join us as we plunge headfirst into the book of revelation 6, where John of Patmos takes a break from persecution to write the wildest fanfiction in biblical history.

Expect plague balls, Elon Musk jokes, martyrs begging God for blood vengeance, and the rich elites hiding in caves — some things never change.

This episode features:

• Horsemen hot takes: conquest, war, famine, death (and plague balls)
• Why John’s “visions” read more like bad acid trips
• How famine = price gouging while the rich still sip wine
• The My Little Pony apocalypse
• Christians inventing the Rapture… last week

“If John of Patmos wrote this in the 21st century, it wouldn’t be wheat and barley — it would be toilet paper and computer chips.”

This week we drag the Jezebel stereotype and crazy christian conspiracies through the fiery pits of satire! From Rihanna to Katy Perry, pop divas apparently summon demons with every sequined costume, and the Super Bowl halftime show is “ground zero” for sexist Satanic panic. We fact-check the hysteria, expose the blatant misogyny behind “Satanic” accusations, and celebrate the real power of women in music. This episode blends satire, fact-checks, and pop culture chaos into one glorious 20-minute ride. 

   “If Beyoncé is summoning demons, at least they’ve got rhythm."

Sauces:

This episode was simmered with a spicy mix of pop culture reporting and christian pearl-clutching. We’re not here to promote their platforms — just to roast them.  Some of the sauces:

• Breathecast: Katy Perry & Satanic imagery
• Reuters: Rihanna Super Bowl belt
• Madonna on sexy crucifixes 
• Charisma News: Sabrina Carpenter & devil lyric
• Breitbart: christian "commentary" 
• Ken Ham statements

Plenty more went into this stew — full list available on request.

Hi, it’s Teeteaze. Judas and Lexi have disappeared under mysterious circumstances, so I’m taking over this week’s podcast to bring you my personally curated, totally unauthorised “Best of Patreon 2025.”  You're welcome.

Inside this episode:

• Angela Merkel performs satanic rituals at the Pergamon Altar, apparently
• Right-wing cookbook Attila Hildmann does life coaching for sociopaths
• Evangelical sex-pest-adjacent ex-chaplain Gordon Klingenschmitt (aka Klingonshit) tells us how Navy Jesus hates the gays
• A deep dive into the Genshin Impact Archons and their demon namesakes from demonology grimoires like The Lesser Key of Solomon
• Guest appearances by Satan, a possessed Life Coach and an alarmingly self-aware TTS bot

We’re talking QAnon conspiracy theories, christian nationalism, military grifters, anime demon panic and a whole lot of fart jokes. You know, the usual.

•  If you're new to Satan Is My Superhero, we make satirical comedy about Satanic panic, magical thinking, and the real people who weaponise them for power. Spoiler: the devil didn’t make you do it—some prick with a podcast did.

What do Satan, a horny goat god, and lettuce soaked in semen have in common?
They were all part of the ancient blueprint for the devil we know today. In this minisode, we finish our whirlwind tour of the Ancient Near East and Mediterranean gods who got retrofitted into Christianity’s ultimate villain.

From Hades and Pan to Set and Apep, we explore how early Christians demonized other people's gods, turning fertility symbols into hellish nightmares and chaotic uncles into eternal enemies. Along the way, you'll meet tricksters, chaos monsters and mythological disasters that would absolutely get cancelled in 2025.

Original comedy sketches, Satanic sass and a warning: this one’s not safe for your Sunday school teacher.

Who invented Satan? If you said "the Bible," think again nerds!
In this Origin Story Vol. 1 minisode, we go ancient, like really ancient and introduce you to Zoroaster, a Persian prophet who may have accidentally drawn up Satan’s first résumé.

Before YHWH got possessive and the Christians started branding anyone with hobbies as a witch, Zoroaster was preaching about ONE god ‘Ahura Mazda’ and his cosmic nemesis, ‘Angra Mainyu’. This dualistic theology gave us some suspiciously familiar tropes:
🔥 a lake of fire
🐍 a fallen being who tempts humanity
🪰 a healthy dose of snakes, flies, lies, and spiritual gaslighting

So what happens when your evil twin kills the bull you just created, invents deception, and inspires the entire species to commit incest? You get Satan baby! Or at least the rough sketch of him.

We unpack how Zoroastrian fire cults, lava-filled doomsday scenarios, and demonized rival gods helped lay the groundwork for the Christian Devil, while pointing out how the Old Testament borrowed liberally from religions it once called heresy.

Expect:

• 🧠 Deep mythological nerdery
• 🤘 Blasphemous sketch comedy
• 📚 Weirdly specific ancient trivia
• 😈 Recurring characters you’d never invite to youth group

🎧 Topics Covered

• Zoroastrianism and its influence on Satan
• Angra Mainyu: Satan’s proto-form
• Fire temples, lava rivers, and bull semen creation myths
• Ancient monotheism vs dualism
• The Babylonian exile and Jewish theological evolution
• Snakes, lies, incest, and apocalypse (you know, the classics)

👉 Share this episode with a fellow heretic who thinks Satan was just a christian invention.
