Now available on PVOD and digital services, The Pope's Exorcist will be heading to Blu-ray and DVD on June 13th. In support of the home media release, I had an opportunity to have a spoiler-filled chat with Daniel Zovatto, who told me all about playing Father Esquibel, working with Russell Crowe, and more!
