Of course this is one of Mike's favorite horror movies, it plays on his fear of the elderly.

Mike wishes he could force his friends to watch Star Trek. Like he doesn't do that already! He made Jay dress up in a Star Trek uniform for his Star Trek themed tea party

Years ago, I wrote to Blatty. I told him that I thought the Devil lost in the original film with the original ending, and it was not until Exorcist III that I begun thinking that the Devil won. He wrote back! He said the original was never intended to be a horror film but a movie portaying psychological warfare and the battle between good and evil. I still have his letter. My monastery is in Washington, DC, and he wrote that he is retired and living in Maryland and hoped to come by for a visit. Sadly, he never did.

"I have hobbies" is one of the most expertly delivered lines of dry comedy I've heard.

See, this is why I love RLM. I'd have never watched Exorcist III, nor most of the other re-View movies they discuss. It's like being introduced to hidden gems every time they make one of these.

Mike’s disdain for the elderly never gets old

"You can't trust a demon"

"Recruit more priests, more deacons." George C. Scott

That snap zoom in the hospital is, to this day, the most effective jumpscare I've ever witnessed. Jay is absolutely right, you just kinda give up looking for something to be scared of. You know something is going to happen, because it's a movie, and you wouldn't be seeing this if it wasn't important, but so little happens for so long, and then WHAM! So expertly timed, the actors walk in almost perfect sync of one another, and you don't get enough information to know what exactly you just saw. Just enough to know that that poor nurse is another victim.

" I BELIEVE IN SLIME "

Mike doesnt need a holiday to force everyone to listen to his Star Trek ramblings. He just needs a non sequitur

Mike just got off his shift at Trader Joe's

Punished Mike, a man denied his Star Trek discussions.

"Ow, my groin!" will always be my all-time favorite George C. Scott line.

People judge the exorcist just on "scares" when it's actually just a well shot, well acted movie with great dialogue that happens to be a horror movie (in my opinion). It's a great character study of a mother going insane with a sick child and a priest losing his faith and what little family he has left.

20 seconds in and Mike has already brought up Star Trek.

Mike only likes Exorcist III because Brad Dourif was in Star Trek Voyager.

Mike's Star Trek "month" starts Jan 1  ends Dec 31

“It’s a problem I’m working on, all this bleeding”. Alludes to the future killing of father dyer.  Not a drop spilled

The fact that they don’t show the viewers the bodies works so well on a psychological level.
When real crimes are committed the public for the most part never sees the carnage (just like in the movie), yet we also don’t get to see the trauma the first responders experience having to deal with.
We see through Kinderman the toll that years on the police force has on him through the horrible crimes he is called to. We get to see how awful the crimes are through his reactions.
