- Friedkin’s power after two major hits and Miller’s Pulitzer, Tony and supporting-actor nomination make both clear Apex choices.
- Washington films are debated against All the President’s Men; the actor playing Merrin is unresolved given The Seventh Seal and other major roles.
- Blair receives a yes; Georgetown loses to its basketball era; Burstyn is debated against Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore and her durable later career.
- Split-pea soup and the demon receive yes answers; reversed speech is compared with alleged backward music messages without settling a choice.
- The demon’s name, appearance and travel inspire jokes before the explanation that Karras’s crisis of faith made him the target.

- Miller reportedly declined Taxi Driver for The Nickel Ride and is identified as Jason Patric’s father.
- The crucifix dialogue is described as a slowed recording of Blair; Miller reportedly expected pea soup on his chest but was hit more broadly.
- Georgetown stairs became a tourist site; students reportedly charged to watch the stunt, and a later St. Elmo’s Fire filming request was refused with a joke about the devil losing.
- Blair’s early fame and reported relationships with Rick Springfield, Glenn Hughes, Tommy Shaw, Rick James and Wings Hauser are discussed; her age fifteen relationship with Springfield is criticized.
What’s Aged the Worst?

- 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.
