Today my guest is Declan Neil Fernandez, a film enthusiast and author. In this episode, we find out about Declan’s avid long-term interest in film, especially physical media – that is, VHS tapes, DVDs, laserdiscs, and Blurays. In our conversation we explore Declan’s ten-year writing journey which resulted in the published book, ‘Horrible and Fascinating – John Boorman's Exorcist II: The Heretic’. The book seeks to answer many of the questions associated with the unique, compelling, and infamous film, ‘Exorcist II: The Heretic’. Released in 1977, the film was a much-anticipated sequel to the most popular and successful horror film ever made, ‘The Exorcist’. The sequel was inspired by profound philosophical concepts popular in 1970s culture, related to new age consciousness, spirituality, and human evolution. Unfortunately, all of this was lost in the confusion. The film is often described as one of the worst ever made. On a fact-finding mission, Declan asked the question: How did it happen? Declan offers insights into his writing process as we chat about the background, context, and dynamics of the film, with discussions around the Hollywood film industry in the mid 1970s, Warner Bros studio, director John Boorman, and other aspects of the ill-fated production.  Declan shares some of the reasons why he decided to venture into this unexpected and curious cultural territory, on an intriguing, personal mission to solve a mystery.

It's our 2024 Halloween special!

The trailer for the subject of our new episode refers to "Something beyond comprehension," which also applies to our pod as one of our hosts has never seen this horror classic before. For our Halloween celebration this year, our host Jacob has chosen THE EXORCIST (1973) from director William Friedkin and writer William Peter Blatty! It's a bit daunting tackling a movie that casts a shadow as long as this one, but we had a great time discussing the movie from both the perspective of a first-time viewer and two hosts whose perspectives on the movie may have evolved a bit since they first saw it decades ago. We really hope everyone enjoys this review, but most of all we hope everyone has a very happy Halloween this year.

Travelling between nameless dimensions, these are the recordings of the many encounters made.

Lots of various styles; acid, house, gabber, EBM, arab cockrock, feel good serial killer themes, industrial noise, soundscapes, soundtracks for funerals and ambient, you name it, its here. Except for 538 floorfillers, sterren.nl chartbreakers and other crappertronix 

Independent music endorsed by no-one and always doing it the lazy way for your inconvienence.

Unexpected and profound insights from smart people you’d like to meet. Mark Parry has a perspective, but as a conduit, he wants you to hear the perspectives of others. Mark’s longstanding commitment to learning, teaching and communication gets more engaging than ever as he chats with a broad and diverse range of intelligent, friendly and interesting people—artists, researchers, scientists, psychologists, film makers—who are thinking up new ideas and then getting on with making a big or small impact on the world. Mark takes time to listen to their perspectives, and so can you. If you ever wanted to know what the shattered ideology of the American dream looks like as a self-aware oil painting on instagram or how reflection and creative thought helps a scientific researcher in pursuit of a cancer cure or what melodramatic sex on 70s Australian television tells us about the politics of our society, then look no further. The goal: to get big, complex, challenging, important and contemporary ideas out to listeners that never knew they were interested. This is Perspectives in Parryville.
