S.H.U.D.cast

The food’s a little funny at the SHUDcafe! For a special Halloween release, we’ve decided to watch and discuss TERRIFIER 2! After now years of back and forth and sideways discussion we delve deeply into the bowels of Art the Clown and fully reckon with our thoughts on Damien Leone’s slasher exploitation magnum opus! Have any of us changed our minds on this movie? Or have we dug in even deeper? Wil...

It’s week four of “Blbwblbwblbwblbwblbw” - Underwater Horror (selected by Austin) and we’re going four….-ty Seven Meters Down courtesy of Curtis! But this is no normal 47 Meters Down… this time we’ll be… UNCAGED! Look, it’s worth it, just like reading this section of show notes is worth it. Trust us (or, specifically, Curtis). Friend and patron Ryan also joins us off-mic in the basement as we get...

Deepest, Bluest, this podcast is like a shark’s fin. What’s that mean? Heck if we know but we’re going searching for it anyway as we get into week 3 of “Blbwblbwblbwblbwblbw” - Underwater Horror - and cover 1999’s modern shark masterpiece DEEP BLUE SEA! On the way we talk about Austin’s KILLER new short film, Cody’s dad’s reaction to Sinners, and much much more!   Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where...

We descend to depths fully unimaginable as we watch (yet another?) horror-adjacent title and find what’s at the deep, dark center of James Cameron’s marital life in cinema… I mean… we watch The Abyss! It’s movie number two in “Blbwblbwblbwblbwblbw” - Underwater Horror and as we discuss this potentially still under-celebrated masterpiece, we cover topics such as: Aussie spiders, roller coaster misa...

We dive deep, deeper than ever before in this episode – mostly because Austin forced us to – as we discuss the first film in our new theme, “Blbwblbwblbwblbwblbw” - Underwater Horror with the aptly titled, UNDERWATER. On our way down we discuss tree crypto, Spike Lee, TONS of Weapons talk (spoilers marked below!), and a bunch of other films!   Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where you can sign up for a...

We say g’day and g’night to our time in the Outback as we close out our series on Australian Horror – “I Left My Heart in the Yabba!” – with the much heralded NEXT OF KIN! Does it hold up to us? Find out and then stick around to hear who gets our SHUDcast awards for the series as well as find out where we’ll be traveling next courtesy of Austin!   Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where you can sign up f...

We return to the sun bleached vistas of Australia for the third film in our Aussie Horror series in discussing Peter Weir’s horror of manners weirdo classic, THE PLUMBER (brought to you by Lucas)! While we’re in the Outback we discuss OnlyFans hypotheticals, spiritual journeys at music festivals, Lady Gaga, The Vista Theater, our actual plumbing needs in real life, and so so much more!    Go to pa...

It would have been foolish, and honestly criminal, of us to visit the great Down Under and not do at least one Big Big Monster Movie, so here we are at Big Pig Week as we cover the strangely gorgeous, often hilarious, always insane piece of work that is RAZORBACK. Along the walkabout we discuss Ohio river business, a couple of docos, Coffin Joe, Superman, and much much more! At the end we get Luca...

Oy oy! In the spirit of Summer, we’re heading to the land (where it’s actually Winter) of sunbleached sand and murderous flora-fauna as we dig into our new theme “I Left My Heart in the Yabba” – Australian Horror! The Aussies have left a big mark on our souls already but we’re diving deep and hopefully picking some new, possibly forgotten, even more possibly super f*cked up classics, starting with...

In the final week of “No, no, no for the last f*cking time we can’t sing Prince on the show!”: A Horror Musical Revue, we take it all the way back to the beginning of the careers of some film and TV titans – only problem is… is it a horror movie? Who’s to say… but along the way we discuss all the films we’ve watched during a recording hiatus (don’t worry, Curtis didn’t spite watch 70 films) and ge...

At long last, we’re doing the Time Warp again in week three of “No, no, no you can’t sing Prince on the show” where we go to Transexual Transylvania and discuss the mother of all horror musicals THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. In other SHUDcast news – Lucas got married!!! And it was as big a surprise to two of the hosts/his best friends as it might be to you all…    Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where...

In Week 2 of “No. No. No. For the last time, you can’t sing Prince on the show!” Curtis delves into the deep end of childhood fantasy stories, bringing THE LURE up through the brine for discussion! Along the way, Cody tries his best not to kink shame everyone and we still can’t stop talking about Sinners.    Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where you can sign up for all kinds of extra goodies!   00:00 -...

Welcome to week 1* of our new theme “No. No. No. For the last time, you can’t sing Prince on the show!” - Horror musicals! Courtesy of Cody we’ll be doing our darnedest to not burst out into any legally actionable songs during the recordings of these episodes. It isn’t fair, but we love him all the same. We talk about a handful of current releases, some old favorites, and then we get to “Life at L...

We say goodbye to the land of cults with maybe the most dangerous cult of all – biblical allegory! That’s right, we’re tackling Darren Aronofsky’s divisive and provoking mother!. Does the film stand on its own or is it simply an exercise? Is it about Aronofsky? Who got the bigger end of the wishbone baby? All of that and more within the episode. Along that path Curtis discusses way too many movies...

If you keep dancing with the devil… you jump your release order and record an emergency episode about one of the most exciting movies we at the SHUDcast have ever seen. We’re talking about Ryan Coogler’s Southern Blues Vampire Masterpiece, SINNERS. We don’t just insert this flick absent-mindedly, however, as you’ll see that this flick fits rather (surprisingly) nicely into our next theme which wil...

In week three of “Purple Flavored Kool-Aid”, Curtis takes us down a path of internet-inspired horrors and pastas that are creepy with 2020’s THE EMPTY MAN. How do we feel about this divisive film? Find that out, plus our thoughts on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, the future of Saw, Yellowjackets, and bunches more!   Go to patreon.com/SHUDcast where you can sign up for all kinds of extra goodies!...

Welcome to week two of “Purple Flavored Kool-Aid” and we take a trip into the depths of hell as we dive into Turkish horror BASKIN.

Spring has sprung and so has a new SHUDcast theme! Courtesy of Lucas we take a sample of his “Purple Flavored Kool-Aid” as we dive into Cult Movies aka movies about cults with his selection of THE SACRAMENT. Along the way we talk Magic, our 2025 horror movie draft successes and failures so far, The Monkey, and a whole lot about Jonestown.   Come join us on our Patreon where you get access to our D...

It’s out with the cold and in with the new at the SHUDcast as we bid adieu to a very… odd… category of films and selections in our series, “Ohhhhhh The Weather Outside is Frightful!” with Curtis’s selection: THE LAST WINTER. Also in the mix is a bunch of Twilight talk, some David Lynch talk, some theme awards and finally Lucas’s selection of our next theme and film!   Come join us on our Patreon w...

In week 3 of “Ohhhhhh The Weather Outside is Frightful!” we make some questionable decisions regarding the criteria of our theme (don’t worry, it counts… we think) and head to Canada for some giallo-inspired slashings with CURTAINS! Along the way we discuss things that are bad about billionaires (all things), Wolf Man, Miami Connection, and some Wong Kar Wai! We do it all at the SHUDcast!   Come j...

Welcome to week two of “Ohhhhhh the weather outside is frightful!” where we discuss how we’d deal with cold weather, a new Curtis Masterpiece, some Wolf Men, some Showgirls, and finally how best to not survive a horrific situation with the 2010 chiller FROZEN (not that one).   Come join us on our Patreon where you get access to our Discord, full videos, and bonus episodes! More us! https://www.pat...

New year, same existential dread! We kick off our new series of Austin’s choosing “Ohhhh the weather outside is frightful” with a 00s staple, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, and discuss the disasters going on in our hometown, and the absolute PLETHORA of films we’ve watched since the last time we gathered. One discovery of note: Ga’hooligans. Just you wait…   00:00 - 12:30ish Intros: The Los Angeles fires.   12...

We’re howling into the new year and closing out the old as we discuss not one but TWO Furry Larrys with 1941’s seminal classic THE WOLF MAN and 2010’s controversial remake THE WOLFMAN. Have we come around to Universal’s troubled production? Do we think one of the cornerstones of monster cinema still holds up? How much undercarriage talk will there be? You know us… After all of that, stay tuned for...

It’s the most horrendously delightful time of year! Get your lists and your fighting words ready as we rundown each of our 10 favorite horror movies of the year 2024. How high up does Terrifier 3 get? How many times does Curtis try to cheat? What did we think of Nosferatu? All that and way more than you asked for in our 2024 Year in Re-Spew!   00:00 - 16:40ish - Intros: How the lists work, what yo...

We’re mixing our goths with our wolves on this week’s show as we tackle entry three of “It’s NOT… A PHASE!” - Werewolf movies - with 2000’s cult gem, GINGER SNAPS. Along the way we talk about Mike Flanagan’s top 100 movies of all time, Gladiator II, some really stupid microphone shenanigans, and the fact that our favorite Beautiful Professor, Lucas, got engaged!   00:00 - 13:30ish - Intros: Mike F...
