Evil: How to Fly An Airplane
June 26, 2024 4:47 PM - Season 4, Episode 5 - Subscribe
A priest, a skeptic, and a psychiatrist (who is also a skeptic) walk into an utterly bonkers TV show. And this TV show asks: Don't they feed the passengers on a NYC-Rome flight?
* The unsanctioned exorcism of a flight attendant with a side hustle in stolen antiquities leads our intrepid trio to head to Rome--economy class, of course--to verify if one of said antiquities is part of The True Cross, but not BEFORE --
*Father Forehead, entering our fair scene, with the most Mafia-looking lawyer in tow (the cutaway to his brief firm headshake of "no" should be a gif) begs our trio to cover the Church's ass by finding hard evidence of possession from the now hospitalized flight attendant
*Kristen gets right in there with the Flight Attendant Slumber Party, immediately doing shots and getting those tipsy attendants to spill their guts
*Evil wants us to be surprised that airline folks are superstitious but duh, Evil
* Turns out the antiquities side hustle has given us a doohickey in the same of a piece of wood that may be HOLY or just DEMONIC
*Father Dominic flies private; the trio fly a very retro version of an international economy flight that apparently saves the Vatican even more money by not offering the passengers food if Ben is anything to go by
*Kristen's lil ditty about fellatio and all those other clinically sexy words is clearly understood by one of many grim sets of priests that Evil collects like Precious Memories figurines
* Father Dominic giving me life over here with his sass, and the most gleeful absolutely bat-shit grin when he asks about our trio's flight. "Expendable Atheists", indeed
*Hey, it's Tommy the Grief Demon's cousin!
*Okay, listen, I'll suspend disbelief with the one babysitter getting called away for an emergency, maybe a lil less with the suddenly hard to reach next door neighbour, but GETTING RID OF A HOUSE FULL OF BATS WITH JUST BURNING CINNAMON STICKS???? absolutely not, there should have been batshit everywhere and Animal Control or something called
* Cheryl continues to be The Worst by bringing over AntiChrist baby when she helps the Bouchard girls and then dropping the bomb he's their half-brother
*I gotta say the scene with The Demon Box going bananas on the plane was effective but made funny by David splashing the kind of papal Holy Water you could get in a gift stop over it to stop the horror was Evil at its finest
*This week Ben Shakir doesn't go Through It, but does go through hunger pangs. I have so many questions about this flight

Yeah what happened to the friend? She goes to check on her mother and....vanishes? And do not get me started with Sheryl's bullshit. I just can not with with her. I am beyond angry with the writers right now about Sheryl holding the most gynormous idiot ball of all time.
They said the trip is 36 hours right? That's potentially 3 hours in JFK, 9 to get there (if there isn't a layover) , and an hour in Rome airport to get their stuff and go through passport control. This leaves them 23 hours. Minus 8 hours of sleep that's 15 hours. Minus 3 hours in the airport to return that's 12 hours. It doesn't feel at all like they got 12 hours in Rome. There should have been enough time to see the Colosseum and eat some place wonderful at the very least.

I sat down and tried to figure out the timeline; a flight from NYC to Rome is 8.5 hours, plus airport faffing around. They definitely don’t let any moss grow underneath them in the Holy City.
So I’m guessing that, tightest, it’s a 20 hour turnaround.
It did NOT, conversely, feel like 20 hours Stateside, with the friend bailing and the bats and fuckin’ Sheryl, the bane of my existence. Like one overnight, but not nearly a full day.
