The Black Exorcist Drama: Abby Deserved Better


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the legal drama that derailed "The Black Exorcist" and caused it to fall into obscurity until it resurfaced as "Abby," the story of a Christian woman possessed by a demon that ironically frees her, for a brief moment, from her life of being everything for everyone, possession through a patriarchal lens, and more.
