Joshua John Miller interview (The Exorcism)

The Exorcism writer/director Joshua John Miller drops by Popcorn Pals to discuss his new meta horror film starring Australia's Russell Crowe and Sam Worthington. The Exorcism is a movie within a movie about a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a remake of 1973 Oscar-winning horror The Exorcist. As if that wasn't meta enough, Miller's own father (Jason Miller) starred in the original as Father Karras! Miller reveals the temptation to tinker with The Exorcism, since it wrapped filming some five years ago, what his multi-layered movie says about redemption and forgiveness – and the "hellscape" of Hollywood – the importance of queerness in the story, and much more.More Popcorn: Hear Popcorn Podcast's interview with Late Night With The Devil creators Colin and Cameron Cairnes.Know someone who loves movies?

Matt Brown interview (Freud's Last Session)

Filmmaker Matt Brown joins Popcorn Podcast to discuss his latest film, Freud's Last Session, starring Sir Anthony Hopkins as neurologist Sigmund Freud and Matthew Goode as famous author CS Lewis. As a double major in English and Political Science, Brown is obviously interested in life’s big questions and the heart of the human condition, which is evident in his films.
