Horror and cult film podcast with Baz Bishop.
Episode 06: The Exorcist — The Summer I Hit Puberty and Puberty Hit Back.
I was ten years old the first time something possessed me. It wasn't a demon. It was my own body, and it had opinions. A paperback novel found Baz at ten, six years before he ever saw the film. A censored 1980 CBS broadcast turned fear into craft appreciation. Dick Smith's makeup effects, Mercedes McCambridge's uncredited demon voice, the Satanic Panic, and the real story behind this film's "cursed production" reputation — fire, injuries, real deaths, and a Jesuit priest connected to this story at both ends.
Timestamps:
[00:00] Cold Open — "I was ten years old the first time something possessed me." The reveal, then the evidence. The Exorcist namechecked early.
[01:48] Act One — The Summer of 1974. The novel, not the film. Tubular Bells. Auntie Mame. Guilt, self-loathing, a body not yet understood.
[08:25] Act Two — February 1980, CBS. The censored broadcast, age fifteen. Mercedes McCambridge's voice work. Dick Smith's craft. The start of a career.
[14:25] Act Three — The Myth vs. The Record. Satanic Panic / Michelle Remembers. The Friedkin manipulation pattern. The fire, the injuries, the deaths. Father Bermingham's blessing — and his deeper connection to this story.
[25:10] The Turn — All three threads land on one move: reaching for a monster instead of sitting with the mundane, internal truth.
[27:20] The Close — Career payoff. EP07 tease: The Horror of Party Beach.
