Kite (1998)

What's up nerds! Sometimes a movie so foul and sinister emerges from the ether that it compels us to pick up the microphones and pop off. David Gordon Green's "The Exorcist: Believer" is one such film. In this mega-sized reunion, we dissect the myriad mistakes made in this legacy sequel, discuss directions for the future of the franchise, and catch up on some other films we've seen recently.
