In the winter of 1973, director William Friedkin released his iconic horror classic The Exorcist, a film that has shocked and terrified audiences for more than fifty years. Based on William Peter Blatty’s novel of the same name, The Exorcist tells the story of a young girl who becomes possessed by a demonic entity, and the two Catholic priests who attempt to exorcise the demon. Even more terrifying than the content of the film, however, was the fact that The Exorcist was supposedly based on a true story. William Peter Blatty had always stated The Exorcist was based on a supposedly true ...

Mindless banter
Revisado: 04-17-25
While I understand the idea of making a story conversational and lighthearted the sheer bulk of mindless banter and commentary - a deluge of non sequitor and childish interjections - ruin the flow of the narrative. Wont listen to these people again

In How the World Made the West, Josephine Quinn poses perhaps the most significant challenge ever to the “civilizational thinking” regarding the origins of Western culture—that is, the idea that civilizations arose separately and distinctly from one another.

There are problems with this book and production. Production/narration wise there is no reason to (selectively it would appear) to read academic footnotes which interrupts the narrative flow of the book.

In Unruly, David Mitchell explores how early England’s monarchs, while acting as feared rulers firmly guiding their subjects’ destinies, were in reality a bunch of lucky bastards who were mostly as silly and weird in real life as they appear today in their portraits.

Slapstick is too much
Revisado: 11-14-23
This could be fantastic, but strays far too far from the storyline of the history into a slapstick comedy routine. A shame.
