The Devil's Work Podcast

Skeptik is leading the charge as we reach the conclusion to the 1993 cinematic cultural touchstone Blood In Blood Out, directed by Taylor Hackford! This is a very tangent-heavy episode, as you might have noticed how deeply personal this film is to all of us here at The Devil's Work. Thank you for coming on this journey with us! TW: gang/prison violence, needle drugs involving children, mass vi...

PsydesShow is celebrating his roots as we cover one of the most iconic Latino films of all time, Taylor Hackford's 1993 East LA epic, Blood In Blood Out! This story is far too big to contain within one episode so we hope you enjoy the first part of this conversation about a timeless (and prescient) classic. TW: knife/mass violence, needle drugs involving children, discussion of SA, discussion...

Skeptik leads us into some very salty waters this week as we cover the 2014 walrus-body-horror modern cult classic Tusk, directed by Kevin Smith! Wonderfully morbid, and beautifully bleak, this comedic nightmare is sure to stick with you like it has for the initiated for over a decade now. TW: violence/gore, coercion/gaslighting, and podcasters (ew) Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week PsydeShow takes us by the hand and leads us straight to hell with Adam Robitel's 2014 found footage cult classic, The Taking of Deborah Logan! Part mockumentary, his film takes a unique look at the demon genre through a mental illness lens. We get into a deeper conversation than either of us anticipated, so please enjoy the vulnerability. TW: violence/gore, discussion of alzheimer&#3...

Skeptik is leading the charge as we cover Yuji Shimomura's high octane horror fantasy Death Trance! Beautiful costumes/set design, all sorts of fun weapons, vampires, zombies, kitana-wielding twins, and most of all, a great soundtrack featuring music by Dir En Grey! TW: stylized violence, child(?) abduction, and a distractingly phallic sword Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You...

We're doing one for the girlies today as PsydeShow takes us into the cutthroat underbelly of Texas shopping malls with Meredith Alloway's Forbidden Fruits! This well-dressed horror comedy is filled to the bedazzled brim with fun. Friendly reminder that we support women's wrongs in this house! TW: suicide, some gore, women not supporting women Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

This week, Skeptik leads the antifascist charge as we cover Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade, directed by Hiroyuki Okiura and created by Mamaru Oshii. We love our anime episodes, despite them leaving us questioning our existence and destroying our faith in mankind. This one is no different. Beautifully animated with incredible performances from the cast, this will surely leave an emotional scar like the...

100 EPISODES BABY! To celebrate, we not only got the band back together, but we covered the movie from which this show got its namesake! We're talking about the follow up to House of 1000 Corpses, Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects. Settle in, and let's get uncomfortable together! TW: violence/gore, SA, guns, absolutely vile teeth Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube...

This week, we're starting the 100th celebration off with Rob Zombie's debut film, House of 1000 Corpses, and we brought along our good friend Shawn to trauma-bond with us! This movie that went from being stuck in production limbo for years to becoming a staple of the genre for horror fans in the decades to follow. It's gritty, it's grimy, and it's gross. It's everything a g...

This week, PsydeShow is invading our minds as we cover the modern body horror masterpiece Possessor (2020), from the unsettling mind of Brandon Cronenberg! There is so much to unpack in this film, and we highly urge the listeners to watch it before we do just that. Strap in (or on) and get ready for a beautifully chaotic descent into madness! TW: violence against children, gore, suicide, and capit...

This week Skeptik is leading the cathartic charge into this week's topic, In My Skin. Written and directed by Marina de Van in 2003, who also happens to star in the film as well! This is a harrowing look at one person's self destruction as a means of self discovery. It's been a long time since we've covered a New Extremity body horror film, so this is a nice (?) return to form for...

We've got a doozy this week as PsydeShow regales the audience with disgusting tales of the upper class! No, we're not talking about the files (although they certainly come up), we're covering Brian Yuzna's infamous 1989 cult classic: Society! Get ready for some laughs, gay allegories, and downright heinous descriptions of something called The Shunting. TW: almost indescribable body...

We're getting all kinds of weird and spicy this week as Skeptik tells us all about Jennifer Lynch's 1993 debut feature film, Boxing Helena! This one has a strangely unique and unsettling vibe while maintaining plenty of humor to help the medicine go down. The performances are certainly something to behold, fans of particular "late night" cable movies will love this one in particu...

This week, PsydeShow is bringing all his friends on a tour through hell, and we're joined by the members of the incredible Roman Candle! We're talking about As Above, So Below (dir. John Erick Dowdle). This 2014 modern cult classic is a unique spin on found footage, blending elements of Dante's Inferno, Indiana Jones, and horror! TW: gore/violence, claustrophobic scenes, suicide, a lot...

This week, Skeptik is leading the charge as we cover a film adaptation of an absolutely insane manga named Gantz:O. This is for lovers of monsters, video game guns, and jiggle physics! TW: body horror, gore, nudity, nerds (non-derogatory) talking about their interests Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for video episodes! Watch PsydeShow on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twi...

This week, PsydeShow is traumatizing the audience with help from an old friend (and returning guest), Victoria Adame! We're covering a modern addition to the New Extremity Movement, When Evil Lurks, directed by Demián Rugna. We do our best to make jokes but be warned, this is a very brutal film! TW: violence against children/animals, self harm/suicide, excessive gore and gooeyness Follow Victo...

Skeptik is emotionally hobbling us this week as we cover Rob Reiner's 1990 cinematic masterpiece, Misery! This film scarred a generation, and we're here to reopen the wound. So grab a bowl of tomato soup, your lil red pills, and enjoy the show! TW: torture, violence/gore, stalking, joints bending the wrong way Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for video ep...

This week, PsydeShow is ensuring that we're all able to trauma bond together. We're covering The Skin I Live In, directed by Pedro Almodóvar! Rarely, we run into films that genuinely shock and surprise us, but this is something incredibly unique to behold. Disguised as a novela, this film will stay with you for a few days afterwards, and that's what we're here for. This is the firs...

Skeptik is leading the sadomasochistic charge this week as we cover Ichi The Killer, Takashi Miike's 2001 magnum opus adapted from the manga created by Hideo Yamamoto! We've covered Miike films on the show before and it's all been leading up to this moment. This is yet another addition to our dive into Queer cinema, and it is truly a feat to behold. Fashion, mutilation, bondage, and sh...

This week, we ask "What the dog doin?" as we discuss Ben Loenberg's directorial debut, Good Boy! Plain and simple, this is a haunted house movie by way of dog, just in time for spooky season. Should be a hit with your pets! Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for video episodes! Watch PsydeShow on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ! Watch Skeptik on Twitch ! Jo...

PsydeShow is looking for some vengeance as we discuss Coralie Fargeat's directorial debut, Revenge! This is another addition to the Good For Her films we like to cover on the show, but it is very much "of the genre", so it does involve an assault. Heavily stylized and bloody as hell, Coralie came out the gate swinging! TW: SA, violence towards women, gore, body horror, toxic masculin...

We're back with another Quicky, and this time we're covering the highly anticipated Jordan Peele *Produced* sports horror film, Him, directed by Justin Tipping! This movie explores what happens when athletes are deified, subjected to a constant stream of drugs, and isolated from the world with a little bit of traumatic brain injury sprinkled on top. It's fun as hell and visually stunni...

It's finally time to talk about one of the most influential cult classics of all time, Shinya Tsukamoto's Tetsuo: The Iron Man. One of the very first films we ever put on the list of episodes to cover on the show, this fever dream disguised as a movie explores themes of gender identity, sexuality, and societal expectations. Shot on a minimal budget, using practical fx as well as stop motio...

PsydeShow is bringing us along for a both horrifying and humorous look at one of the world's most notorious "banned films" of all time, the first installment of Faces of Death. This "Mondo Documentary" struck fear in the hearts of adults and children alike, claiming all the footage shown was real (to a certain extent, this is true, to varying degrees). This is not even a mo...

We're getting greasy this week as Skeptik delivers all the uncomfortable details about Jim Hosking's deadpan indie horror modern cult classic The Greasy Strangler! Fans of Napoleon Dynamite, B (maybe even C) horror films, and bacon grease are going to love this one. TW: violence/gore, so much nudity, Nickelodeon levels of grease on screen for extended periods of time Be sure to sub to our...
