- The slow opening and some dated effects are criticized; Exorcist II is described as a notorious failed change of direction.
- Exorcist 3 is praised, while the prequel production involving Paul Schrader and Harlin is described as strange.
- Blair’s post-film career is reserved for later discussion; a Toyota Pazuzu story is a joke, and the gray jogging sweatsuit receives affectionate attention.
- The hosts describe injuries to the actresses, a gun fired near Miller, and the director striking the real priest before his scene.
- Burke’s drunken and confrontational party behavior is criticized with some nostalgia.
