The Devil's Work Podcast

This week, it's a Devil's Night Out and we went to the movies to watch Zach Cregger's newest film, Weapons. Clearly another divisive one, but the overall consensus seems to be that it is absolutely a fun ride! Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for video episodes!

This week PsydeShow is getting political with Beth de Araujo's 2022 terrifying thriller about what happens when intolerance leads to violence. An unflinching and gut-wrenching 90 mins that will leave you shaken, and if it doesn't, we don't want to party with you. TW: racism, violence against women of color, torture, a disgusting strawberry pie Be sure to sub to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube channel...

Skeptik leads us into battle this week as we discuss Lam Ngai Kai's 1991 Hong Kong martial arts cult classic, Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky! This manga adaptation might be the most accurate live action depiction of an animated property in the absolute craziest ways possible. Complete with incredible feats of gore fx, political satire of the prison industrial complex, and a backstory that left us...

This week, PsydeShow is taking everyone along for a drug-fueled descent into madness with a recent addition to the French Extremity movement, MadS (directed by David Moreau)! We have another very special guest along for the ride: guitarist of the legendary deathcore band, Angelmaker, Matt Perrin! A one-shot, full length marvel to behold, this film plays with tropes and familiar (to French cinema)...

Skeptik is leading the revolt this week as we cover Ralph Bakshi's 1972 animated classic Fritz The Cat. Highly offensive and simultaneously highly thought provoking, this satirical look at the hippie cultural movement of the 60s was the most successful X rated film of its time (next to A Clockwork Orange)! In the terrifying times we're currently living in, please do your absolute best to never be...

PsydeShow is bringing out the dead this week as we cover Lucio Fulci's 1979 genre classic, Zombie! We brought along Ryan Clark for the conversation; comedian, writer, and bassist of LA Hardcore band Mad Peaceful! This one is just as silly as the film itself, yet the conversation was still somehow insightful. We all very much recommend checking out one of the most uniquely fun zombie films any...

We're discussing Danny & Michael Phillipou's newest mood-ruiner, Bring Her Back! A tragically harrowing, disgustingly visceral possession film in which grief is weaponized against children. Fair warning, this one gets dark. Be sure to sub to our Youtube channel for video episodes! https://www.youtube.com/@thedevilsworkpodcast Watch PsydeShow on Twitch: twitch.tv/psydeshow Join the discussion o...

Skeptik's got us busting out the tinfoil hats this week as we cover David Fincher's 1997 conspiracy thriller, The Game! Shrouded in mystery from beginning to end, the film keeps you firmly on your toes. So strap in because this is a serious case of "are you paranoid, or are they really after you?!" TW: suicide, gang stalking, gaslighting, and snobby rich folk Be sure to sub to ou...

We're leaving it all up to chance this week as PsydeShow leads us into a criminal underworld with the highest stakes possible in Géla Babluani's 2005 thriller 13 Tzameti. This also happens the very first Georgian film we've ever covered on the show! TW: gun violence, needle drugs, intense prolonged eye contact Be sure to sub to our Youtube channel for video episodes! https://www.youtube.com/@thede...

We're back in the saddle and it's getting real uncomfy this week as Skeptik tells us about Caya Casas' 2022 pitch black comedy, The Coffee Table. Utterly fascinating in its execution, this film will surely test your limits and (more than likely) cause anxiety levels to spike in any parents viewing it. TW: infanticide, suicide, uncomfortable dialogue coming from a 13 year old Be sure to...

We truly are Sinners one and all today as we cover Ryan Coogler's brand new, highly stylized, genre-bending, vampiric blockbuster that serves as a love letter to both music and the director's late uncle. We'd highly recommend watching the film before finishing the episode, this is truly something to be experienced on the biggest screen possible, with the volume turned all the way up! B...

PsydeShow is taking the lead this week as we cover Ariane Louis-Seize's coming of (r)age dark comedy Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person. Despite the title, this is the most lighthearted film we've covered on this show in a while! Grab your baggie of choice, pull up a chair, let's get silly. TW: suicide, suicidal ideation, a tragic haircut Be sure to sub to our Youtube...

We're back with another true crime episode, and this time, Skeptik is taking the reins! We're covering John McNaughton's 1987 cult classic Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. In this episode, we also discuss details surrounding the real cases of Henry Lee Lucas and Ottis Toole. This one gets real gross, fair warning! TW: SA, violence/gore, toxic masculinity, a scene where the culprits...

PsydeShow is back with another life-ruiner! We're covering our first Gaspar Noé film, and one of his most intense, 2002's Irreversible. A fascinating and unflinching work of art that will absolutely leave you broken by the end (which happens to be the beginning of the story). We couldn't just do this alone, so we brought back our good friend Jack from 156/Silence to endure the pain wit...

This week, Skeptik is speaking to the dog in all of us as we cover Neil Marshall's 2002 action packed cult classic, Dog Soldiers. Bullets fly, one-liners are delivered, and there's hair everywhere, get ready for a fun one! TW: violence towards animals, gore, teeth interacting with a sword in a very uncomfortable fashion Be sure to sub to our Youtube channel for video episodes! https://youtube.com/...

PsydeShow is bringing it back to cops vs. demons this week with Gregory Hoblit's 1998 horror mystery Fallen! Before there was Longlegs, but after there was Exorcist 3, it was Denzel Washington and John Goodman hunting down a supernatural serial killer. TW: discussion of suicide, crime scenes, police Be sure to sub to our Youtube channel for video episodes! https://youtube.com/@thedevilsworkpodcast...

Love is in the air and we've got your date night covered with Drew Hancock's newest comedic sci-fi horror, Companion!

It's Skeptik's turn at the wheel and we're covering Ryuhei Kitamura's 2001 action packed horror film, Versus! Get ready for all sorts of leather-clad characters, an irresponsible amount of sharp objects, and (strangest of all) gun-wielding zombies. It's all of our personal favorite childhood properties blended into one hell of a spectacle! TW: violence/gore, dismemberment, anything you considered...

It’s our first ever musical episode! PsydeShow is taking this quaalude-addled ship into new waters and he brought his friend (and tattoo artist) Victoria along for the ride. We’re covering Brian De Palma’s 1974 cult classic, Phantom of The Paradise! TW: cartoonish violence, coercion, SA (not graphic), an accident involving heavy machinery, a soundtrack consisting of bangers Follow Victoria on IG:...

This week, Skeptik brings our coverage of Takashi Miike’s Dead or Alive trilogy to a close with Final! Absurdity is the name of the game as usual, and if you’ve been listening along to these episodes, strap in for an ending no one could’ve ever anticipated. TW: violence against humans/androids, questionable themes, phallic (and metallic) imagery Be sure to sub to our YouTube channel for video epis...

We've got our pinkies firmly extended outward for this Quicky. We're talking Robert Eggers' newest gothic holiday film, Nosferatu!

Skeptik is back with the second installment of Takashi Miike's Yakuza trilogy, Dead or Alive 2: Birds! For the uninitiated, get ready for an excellent display of Miike's many directorial styles, and for those familiar with his work, be prepared for an emotional roller coaster that'll leave you both begging for more and a little sick. TW: gun violence, necrophilia, an abundance of feathers Be sure...
