GeoCities websites, instant messaging, free AOL discs and blocking up the phone line - today we’re gonna party like we’ve just connected at 56 kbit/s. That is, we’re going to take a nostalgic look at the early days of the World Wide Web.

A man named Father Malcolm is reviewing some presumed examples of demonic possession to a skeptic named Mr. Lieb. Mr. Lieb doesn’t buy any of this, including Father Malcom’s own experience with demons. TV footage shows the Vatican in flames.
