At The Devils Ball

Welcome to the 'Ween continues with 2002's May! The guys talk Angela Bettis and her fantastic performance, being dislocated in time when it comes to trends, and it's Sammaeal's birthday.

Hello, and Welcome to the 'Ween! Our annual Halloween celebrations begin with 1999's stoner horror comedy Idle Hands! We talk commitment to the bit, the ethereal presence of Jessica Alba, enjoying Seth Green, and more!

Nuts and Bolts month comes to a close with 1994's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a strangely vulgar but fascinatingly profound film. The guys talk the vulgarity, tonal shifts, and adaptational choices, as well as give final thoughts to our run-through of the Frankenstein film canon!

Nuts and Bolts month continues with the unforgettable comedy YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN! The guys sit down with Ryan Rodriguez of One Track Mind and Reels of Justice to discuss the film's inclusion into the Frankenstein canon, incredible cast, and more!

Nuts and Bolts month moves on with the guys first foray into the glorious world of Hammer Films, talking about The Curse of Frankenstein! Topics include the psychological depth of Doctor Frankenstein, the relationship between it's two nominal stars, and a lot of talk about the greatness of the late Peter Cushing.

The guys begin Nuts and Bolts with the original (and unequaled) Frankenstein from 1931! Topics include generational themes, queer theory, and the films enduring legacy. Please join us, and you, too, will know what it is like to be god!

Cutting Deeper, and our 6th Anniversary, come to a close with 1984's trashy cult-classic Savage Streets. Topics include the Minneapolis Spider-Man, (CW) R*pe Revenge, and Linnea Quigley being amazing.

Happy Anniversary to us! We are officially six years old! And with that milestone comes a conversation on one of Nathaniel's favorite films, 2001's The Attic Expeditions, a criminally underseen little film. The guys talk the incredible cast, muddy story, and an amazing pov tracking shot featuring Seth Green!

Cutting Deeper continues with 1992's underseen Dust Devil, a beautiful and awkward little film directed by an admittedly problematic figure. The guys discuss colonialism, mysticism, and 1992 politics, while enjoying the film's ethereal nature.

It is the month of our 6th anniversary on At The Devil's Ball, so we are celebrating with Cutting Deeper, a selection of "deep cut" films we enjoy, beginning with 1995's Haunted! We talk the film's throwback style, ghosts, and a lot about Kate Beckinsale! The film is available on Tubi, and it is highly recommended that listeners watch the film first!

Served Cold month wraps up with Lady Snowblood, the 1973 female revenge film that "inspired" Kill Bill. With the help of guest Ben Haslar of Reels of Justice, the guys talk the over the top violence, the deep thematic ideas of the film and, of course, vengeance.

Best Served Cold continues with one of the all-time great films of (at least) the 21st century with Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy! The guys talk alternative reads, Batman comparisons, and the deep seated psychological and emotional relationships that exist throughout this truly magnificent film.

Served Cold rolls on with 2017's Revenge! Along with returning guest Anastasia, we talk violence, bare bones filmmaking, and subverting common tropes!

The guys begin a new theme for July with "Served Cold," a month-long examination into movies about revenge! So, in the midst of a heat wave, we bring you Abel Ferrara's window into the female experience, "Ms.45!" With guests Jamie Alvey and Emily Fabrizio of loveandhorrorproductions.com!

The guys sit down with Jamie Alvey and Emily Fabrizio of Loveandhorrorproductions.com to discuss the short film Your Husband Was A Good Man, now available on Bloodstreamtv.com! We talk Alvey's influences, style, and creative choices, and more!

Out of the Toy Box comes to a conclusion with 2017's Cult of Chucky! The guys talk the influence of Brian de Palma, the continued greatness of Brad and Fiona Dourif, and the exciting return of Alex Vincent! Hope everyone had a great pride month!

Out of the Toy Box rolls on with Curse of Chucky, a lean and mean gothic slasher film that also has Chucky in it. The guys talk the atmosphere, the gothic visual style, and sing the praises of Don Mancini, who we feel comes into his own here as a filmmaker.

Out of the Toy Box resumes with special guest Michelle Nessk, who stops by to discuss their new graphic novel and talk 2004's horror-comedy Seed of Chucky! We talk awkward but well meaning non-binary representation, self-referential comedy, and sing the praises of Jennifer Tilly.

The run through of the Chucky series continues with Bride of Chucky! The guys enlist the aid of podcaster Sarah Sinn to help tackle the weird little horror comedy, talking humor, John Ritter, and the inclusion of Tiffany, a bold move for a franchise.

The guys continue their Chucky run with Child's Play 3, a sometimes awkward but still entertaining little film, while they also pay tribute to the (sadly) defunct Cinema Wasteland. Come enjoy Child's Play 3 with us!

Out of the Toy Box continues with Child's Play 2! The guys are joined by new guest Ali, who talks with us about her love of the Chucky series, the depth of characters in the film, and about the greatness of Brad Dourif!

The guys begin a new theme with the Chucky franchise, beginning with the original 1988 film CHILD'S PLAY! Topics include conservative fantasies, lonely childhoods and, of course, the creation of an icon (queer or otherwise) with Chucky himself!

May the 4th be with you! For their 300th(!) episode, the guys talk the original Star Wars! They talk foundational texts, special editions, the depth of Luke Skywalker, and more!

Vampire Month Rises From The Tomb goes back to The Tomb with it's final offering: Sinners, the academy award winning megahit vampire film from last year! The guys talk colonialism, cultural appropriation, and the films absolutely incredible presentation, among other things, while being careful not to be the very thing they're here to decry!

Vampire Month Rises From The Tomb continues with 1992's vampire fairy tale, Cronos! The guys talk Guillermo Del Toro, the great Ron Perlman, influences, and mixed themes in this lovely little Mexican daydream. CW: We also discuss the toxic masculinity epidemic and decry the hell out of it.
