The Exorcist: Believer (2023)

What's up nerds! Sometimes a movie so foul and sinister emerges from the ether that it compels us to pick up the microphones and pop off. David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer" is one such film. In this mega-sized reunion, we dissect the myriad mistakes made in this legacy sequel, discuss directions for the future of the franchise, and catch up on some other films we've seen recently. REGION FREE will return... This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Demonlover (2002)

What's up nerds! Sorry for the delay on this one, travel and sickness have befallen Region Free HQ but we're back with a look at a movie stuffed full of corporate intrigue, the politics of global anime and early 2000s video game aesthetics. Unfortunately, it disappointed both hosts so we also get distracted and talk about a bunch of other things. Enjoy!!!
