S.H.U.D.cast

MERRY SHUD-STMAS!!! We gather around the open flame during Krampusnacht season and discuss one of the greatest holiday horror, nay, greatest horror, NAY, greatest MOVIES ever made – BLACK CHRISTMAS (1974). Hop on the sanguine sleigh as we talk about Bob Clark’s masterpiece and stick around to the end where we give out some of our other favorite Yuletide recommendations. HO HO HO-HORROR!!   00:00 -...

You will not accept a podcast you do not deserve! And you deserve the SHUDcast! We delve into the beginnings of the holiday season. We unpack Curtis’ birthday movie marathon BeWAUGHnd Fest, Lucas’ ongoing love affair with military propaganda, and make our way on over to the farmhouse where we double feature BOTH A24’s X and PEARL. We’re STARS, we tell ya!   00:00 - 12:40ish - Intros & Friendsh...

Happy Shud-umn! We hope to make your Black Friday even darker as you wait in line at 4am for the finest toaster oven $35 can buy… Does anyone do that anymore? Nostalgia for Old Black Friday is a sad thing… But what isn’t sad is our autumnal discussion about all things improv rap, Apple, weird Hulu commercials, post-Halloween watches, BeWAUGHnd Fest, and our feature conversation on A24’s highest gr...

It’s all been leading to this… We put on our most neon Jazzercize outfits and unfurled the magnetic tape carpet for the first ever guests on the SHUDcast – actor Jordan Belfi (Nefarious, Entourage) and director, producer David Bruckner (Hellraiser 2022, The Night House) to discuss all things practical gore and creatures, making friends while cosplaying in Universal Citywalk, badass crew members na...

Happy SH-Autumn! Bear with us as we work that one out… Cure your post Halloween doldrums by hearing us still in the thick of it! We talk about Curtis’ birthday Festival plans (BeWAUGHnd Fest), recap the extravaganza known as Sh*tty Movie Friday, and wade deep into the pools of grief and loneliness for a really excellent discussion of Osgood Perkins’ THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER.   00:00 - 14:15ish - I...

Happy Skol-aween!! Grab the car keys, a slice of walnut cake, and do your best to avoid cursed telephone poles as we descend into the chasms of family drama hell and discuss A24’s HEREDITARY. Along the way we’ll talk about our Spooky Season activities, Curtis’ parents’ visit to LA, and all of our BEYOND FEST shenanigans!   00:00 - 22:00ish - Friendship! We discuss our haunted activities around tow...

That’s a nice podcast you have there. Where’d you get it? I’ve been looking at getting that one. Also do you want to see all the hair on my body? WELL YOU’RE IN LUCK because we’re taking a trip into the weird and wonderful mind of Yorgos Lanthimos as we deep dive into THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER, during our ongoing A24 SHUDsommar series!   Along the way you’ll get a metric TON of movie recs as we...

Time to siphon some gas, tune your guitars, and scare the hell out of an unsuspecting diner crowd as we take a trip into hardcore hell and discuss Jeremy Saulnier’s 2015 thriller GREEN ROOM. And along the way we discuss doppelgangers, John Cena, SIGNS & TWISTER, and we pepper in some of our own backroad stories from when a few of us toured in bands. Also, stick around and get our own answers f...

CLICKETY CLACKETY! CLICKETY CLACKETY! This week we venture deep into the Northeastern woods and get totally and completely lost trying to trick Cody into saying the title of this week’s movie, we talk about the ongoing strikes, and discuss some new releases that really got our pumpkins tingling. All of this en route to the baby mojito shack where we find THE WITCH!   00:00 - 8:00ish - Friendship:...

SKOL and happy SHUDsommar!!! We’re taking a little detour into the wildly weird and artistic world of A24 horror (AMPTP – pay your f*cking artists) and we’re starting in lovely Sweden with MIDSOMMAR. In the meantime catch up with us as we discuss the cultural phenomenon that is Barbenheimer, and the strange new universe we live in where Austin likes The Lord of The Rings movies and Curtis has beco...

BREAKING NEWS: For the foreseeable future the “S” in SHUDcast stands for “Strike”! And as such, we’ve decided to pivot our upcoming episodes and cover films from the only studio honorable enough to give SAG the agreement they’re looking for — A24! Being that it’s the middle of summer, we’re going to start this series with MIDSOMMAR! So grab your bros, your partner, your red-headed cousin, and your...

Welcome to the middle of the summer and boy have we heated up our pool of blood-paint for you! We discuss what it takes to be a viral sensation, our CROWBOCOP tagline winner, shark movies, all leading up to Lucas’ incredible arthouse fever dream come true… SANTA SANGRE!   00:00 - 19:00ish The Friendship portion of the show! Viral internet trends, how we think naming stadiums works, our Crowbocop w...

Dance with us under the light of a full blood moon as we celebrate the return of Lucas from Japan, Austin’s near death Independence Day experience, and Curtis and Cody’s idiotic levels of love for questionable movies as we get down and hairy with THE HOWLING and THE HOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF or THE HOWLING II: STIRBA - WEREWOLF B*TCH!   00:00 - 15:00ish - Friendship! Lucas returned fro...

Vision quest with us into the Canadian wilderness as we discover sweat lodges, finger necklaces, Graham Greene’s hardcore badassery, and how to not clean a fish when you want to eat it as we descend into the darkness of CLEARCUT. Amongst the forest horror you can find us discussing Dead by Daylight, leaking beams in your house, Josh Hartnett’s hotness, our complete lack of literary knowledge, and...

Welcome back! We’ve moved on from France and have come back home to the filthy, crusty, problematic South! Along the way we take some detours discussing our recent viewings of some recent flicks like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Little Mermaid (we’re well-rounded folk over here), and take a pit stop at the Inland Empire and talk a little David Lynch. But our destination awaits as we di...

Oui oui au Francais! We go back to the Croisette – where we are immediately escorted far, far away – and finish what we’ve started with a TRIO of the most famous horror films in the New French Extremity movement of the early 2000s. That’s right, grab your finest pair of shears, dust off that old concrete saw, and flay your skin off your body as we cover INSIDE (2007), HIGH TENSION (2003), and MART...

Out of the jungle and into… the woods! We pack our camcorders, grab our tents, and homemade wooden sacraments and take an in-depth trip to Burkittsville, MD where we cover everything under the Blair sun. Hear about our histories with The Blair Witch Project, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, and Blair Witch and our thoughts on their places amongst the pantheon of horror greats and... oddities. Meanw...

Pack your bags and prepare for the lush vistas, the culinary delights, and the satanic rituals of South Korea as the crew embarks upon the epic masterpiece, THE WAILING! Along our journey we’ll continue to argue about how many 5th graders Lucas erroneously thinks he can beat up, discuss our friend day Verhoeven double feature, listen to Curtis wrap up his Korean cinema adventure (for now), and go...

We walk beyond the rows this week as Austin has selected for us an ‘80s horror classic – and yes, we believe it definitely is such – in CHILDREN OF THE CORN (1984)! Drive into the emptiness of Middle America with us as we also discuss our rich person in-home theater dreams, how cemeteries work according to Lucas, and the beginnings of a whooole lot of Korean cinema intake! As always, follow us @Sh...

We’ve come down from the Arthouse mountains and are sloshing our way back into our trashy trenches with today’s double feature! But before we make our trek back into beautiful South Korea for The Witch: The Subversion and The Witch Part 2: The Other One (not not the reason Lucas picked this duology), we get into some spoiler-free discussion of Scream VI, video games, global politics, and the Oscar...

Look, we’re all human. Even if we prefer to think of ourselves as dark-dwelling, bloodthirsty creatures, there is always something that will remind us that we’re just big sacks of goo that can easily be dismantled – or forget to hit record on our podcast. We dive deeper than we maybe have before this week and face new elements of existential crisis tackling our first foray (at least on the show) i...

Welcome back to you all and to Lucas who rejoins us after a one-episode break! It’s a cause for celebration indeed because apparently we’re much more palatable when we’re together and there’s four of us (but let us know what you think! Is there a weak link you’d like to see gone or worse??). We discuss recent watches including INFINITY POOL and KNOCK AT THE CABIN and once again trick the hell out...

Well, since Lucas was so vocal in his disdain for POSSESSION in our last episode, he’s banned… Just kidding. He was unable to join us for this episode so Austin, Cody, and Curtis went ahead with a zoom version of your favorite podcast and introduced a new format for a yearly episode: Horror movie predictions! The three of us (and including Lucas, throwing us wild cards via some write-in prediction...

Welcome back to a premiere+ episode of the SHUDcast! We know all of our episodes are premiere+ in our hearts, but it isn’t every week we come across a film that divides a room as interestingly as this one. That’s right, we’re talking one of the holy grails of ‘80s video nasties – POSSESSION. Which side do the guys fall on? Which of us thinks it’s a masterpiece? Which of us thinks it’s like a newly...

Happy first episode recorded in 2023! We’d love to tell you we’re coming in all “new year, new us”, but f*ck that… that’s not why you’re here. You’re not here to listen to us grow and change and all that nonsense. No way. How about “New year, worse us” (thanks, Lucas). Look, all I’m trying to say is that we hadn’t recorded in a while and we had a lot of movies to catch up on and also tonight’s mov...
