Ep 3 - The Exorcist

A spooky one for Halloween/Samhain! Raquel talks about how much this scared her and her sorority sisters when it first came out. Raphael talks about seeing the re-release in theatres and not being so impressed. How did Vatican II influence the making of this movie? What's scarier, demonic possession or a slasher killer? Is this inherently a Boomer movie cause it's the last time you could scare people this way? The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, and her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky Millenial punk rocker, former music journalist, and current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film for the two of them to dissect and see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of the movies. Feel free to write to us! Give us some film suggestions at [email protected] or @gensplicepod on Twitter. Raphael is on Twitter at @citycelluloid. You can find his film writing at cinefile.info and film-cred.com The show is produced by The Martinez Family & the show’s theme song was written, performed, & produced by Raphael.
