“He’s the LeBron James of exorcisms” - Steve on Father Amorth’s record
On this edition of Scaredy Cats, we’re chatting about the super-fun possession flick, The Pope’s Exorcist!
How incredible is Russell Crowe as the titular Pope’s exorcist? Has anyone ever looked cooler on a scooter than Crowe cruising through Rome? How great is this little kid saying all the possessed stuff? Is this movie absolving the Catholic Church of the horrors it caused during the Spanish Inquisition? What’s with all the Doctor Strange magic circles at the end? And how fantastic is this Ralph Ineson vocal performance? PLUS: How annoying would it be to co-exist with cartoon characters like they have to do in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
The Pope’s Exorcist stars Russell Crowe, Daniel Zovatto, Alexandra Essoe, Franco Nero, Peter DeSouza-Feighoney, Laurel Marsden, and Ralph Ineson as the voice of Asmodeus; directed by Julius Avery.
