OK so this is a very special New Years Edition of The Punk and The Pastor, featuring our first annual "I'veTotally Seen All of Those" movie festival.  This year we have taken the plunge and watched all five of The Exorcist Films.

Also did something a little different with the linking of the music from last episode, but we will be going back to the links to the bands we play on the next Punk and the Pastor.

First up though was music from The Prague Philharmonic Orchestra with the Crouch End Festival Chorus, with their rendition of the theme from The Exorcist, "Tubular Bells."

The first movie up for review was The Exorcist:  The Version You've Never Seen Before featuring over ten minuets of additional footage this is hands down one of the most disturbing films ever made.

Following that was music from Ennio Morricone performed by Prague Philharmonic Orchestra with the Crouch End Festival Chorus, this time they are playing "Regan's Theme" from The Exorcist II: The Heretic, which not coincidentally was the second movie we reviewed.

The Exorcist II: The Heretic is an interesting film to say the least.  To classify it would be to say it is very much so like the Italian films of its time, but not quite as good.

To follow up that review we are blowing out "Regan"  by The Demonics.  This little slice of Bock-a-Billy hell has been a favorite of Gabriel's since the late 90's when he first heard it, and he hopes that it will be a favorite of yours.

Next up, the true sequel to The Exorcist, The Exorcist III.   The film made from the novel that is the real sequel to The Exorcist, Legion.  A brilliant book, that doesn't quite translate into a brilliant movie, but it, is the best of the sequels.

Then we feature music from Landspeedrecord! with their song "Let the Exorcism Begin".  You can find damn near everything that they have recorded at the website for free.  This is our favorite kind of band to be certain.  Click Here to get those downloads.

Finally we wrap this up by talking about both of the "prequels" to The Exorcist.  Exorcist:  The Beginning  and Dominion:  A Prequel to the Exorcist.  No to movies with the same plot and the same actors could be any different.

Last but not least, "Linda Blair" by Red Cross, another great band
