IS JON BEGINNING TO ENJOY HORROR MOVIES???

Join us as Jon has an existential crisis at the age of 31 and thinks he might be starting to enjoy Horror Movies. Witness the evolution of our co-host as we give our thoughts on the late William Friedkin's The Exorcist and Andrzej Żuławski's Possession (1981).

We also answer listener questions;

'If The Exorcist was released today in it's exact same form would it be recieved as well?'

'Can horror work in longer form TV show better than a 90 minute movie?'

'Why does horror create so many sequels? Purely money or does it build legit franchises and fanbases through quality?'
