The Devil's Work Podcast

PsydeShow is following up Austin’s pick with another zombie classic from 2004, Edgar Wright’s comedic masterpiece, Shaun of the Dead. Since we’re bringing the funny this time around, it only felt right to invite our good friend Brannon of The (John) Candy to join us once again!

It’s Austin’s first time piloting the ship and he’s taking us back to 2004 with Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead reboot! A quintessential zombie film that inspired damn near every piece of media following it, from video games and tv shows to real-life backwoods militias who believed the zombie apocalypse was imminent (really wish that was an exaggeration). Get ready for all the edgy humor you can to...

When we initially recorded this episode in 2022, the files were unfortunately lost before the show was edited. After threatening the audience with this film for almost 2 years, here it finally is in all its disgusting glory! Skeptik leads the most vile conversation we’ve had on the show to date with Takashi Miike’s 2001 erotic black comedy, Visitor Q. TW: SA, violence against women, abuse in every...

PsydeShow is back with another corpse movie, but don’t worry, this is about carving one up, nothing weird. We’re covering André Øvredal’s 2016 supernatural thriller, The Autopsy of Jane Doe!

Skeptik is getting the boys all riled up with a very gooey and very naughty episode this week! We’re covering David Cronenberg’s 1983 body horror masterpiece, Videodrome. A cult classic that was scarily ahead of its time, this film covers everything from: sex and violence in media, to massive corporate conspiracies, to James Woods’ chestussy. Long love the new flesh! TW: violence against women, to...

PsydeShow is here to ruin your Tuesday with a new addition to French Extremity Movement, we’re covering Megalomaniac (2022) directed by Karim Ouelhaj. This highly stylized psychological roller coaster is sure to stick with you, for better or worse! TW: gore/violence, SA, torture, discussion of eating and mental disorders, incest, creepy faces appearing out of nowhere Be sure to like/subscribe to o...

Skeptik is ringing in the new year with a real doozy. This week, we’re covering Takashi Miike’s 2006 Masters of Horror contribution, Imprint. A violent and disturbing addition to the long list of films that drew inspiration from Akira Kurosawa‘s Rashomon, this showcases the strength of Miike’s signature style, even when he is limited to directing in a language he does not primarily speak. TW: viol...

Evelyn’s spreading some holiday cheer this week as we cover Jim Cummings’ 2020 murder mystery masterpiece, The Wolf of Snow Hollow! This film falls into a few different sub genres including crime thriller, whodunnit, and of course it’s also a creature feature. It ranges from hilarious to heartbreaking in an effortless fashion, all the while maintaining a fun small town atmosphere. So get cozy by t...

PsydeShow decided to give the listeners a vile, disturbing gift for his birthday this week. We’re covering Jörg Buttgereit’s 1988 infamous cult classic, Nekromantik! Filled to the brim with blood, guts, and good ol fashioned punk rock spirit, this film offers a look into the more romantic side of this paraphilia. Fair warning, this one is a doozy. TW: gore/violence, live animal death, SA, suicide,...

It’s time for Skeptik to take the wheel and drive us straight into the depths of hell as we cover Kyle Edward Ball’s not-so-bite-sized nightmare, Skinamarink! Arguably the most divisive film in recent history, this one either works for you or it fails miserably. It doesn’t get much more avant garde than this, so stick around as we attempt to describe the worst vibes possible. TW: child imperilment...

Evelyn’s luring us into the Swedish woods for some real nightmare fuel as we cover David Bruckner’s 2017 terrifying creature feature, The Ritual!

It’s Skeptik’s turn at the wheel, and he’s finishing off our coverage of Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance Trilogy with Lady Vengeance! Easily the most stylized of the three films, this offers another excellent addition to the “good for her” category within the genre. This one is filled with mystery, heartbreak, and bloodshed, so strap in! TW: violence against children/animals, gore, torture, sexual assa...

PsydeShow is here to upset us once again with the second installment of Park Chan-wook’s Vengeance Trilogy, the gut-punching bloody noire classic, Oldboy!

We’re back with another doozy! It’s PsydeShow’s pick this week and we’re covering a stomach turner by the name of Angst! Directed by Gerald Kargl in 1983, with some absolutely insane cinematography by Zbigniew Rybczynski, this film is damn near the pinnacle of an anti-slasher movie. While it isn’t an easy watch, we believe it to be an important one. We also cover the connections to the story it’s...

It’s Skeptik’s turn at the wheel and today we’re covering the 1996 Japanese stomach-turner, Organ! Directed by Kei Fujiwara, this twisted tale unfolds in such a chaotic and disgusting manner, that it’s a bit difficult to even grasp what’s going on half the time! Somehow, we managed to make it through this, but don’t say we didn’t warn you. This is our first toe-dip into the splatter-gore genre and...

It’s Evelyn’s pick and that means 'Super Dark Times' are ahead for us as we tackle this trek through a tangled terrain of puberty & pain. Follow along as we unravel this dark and impending Coming-Of-Age nightmare from the mind of Kevin Phillips. TW: violence, immature humor (a lot of d!ck jokes), toxic masculinity, a big ass sword.

It’s time to get handsy this week on the Devil’s Work! PsydeShow’s pick is the 1999 horror comedy cult classic Idle Hands, directed by Rodman Flender! And we’re joined by a very special guest, Brannon of The John Candy! With their particularly fun brand of metal (dubbed “nostalgia-core”), they emit the same energy as this film: chaotic, familiar, and hilarious. Anton is your stereotypical, trashy...

It’s Skeptik’s turn at the wheel and we’re going back to wonderfully delirious and deranged world of Suicide Club with its ambitious sequel, Sion Sono’s Suicide Club 2: Noriko’s Dinner Table! The film takes place just before (also during, and immediately following) the events of its predecessor, allowing for a deeper look into the universe. We follow four characters as they attempt to navigate a m...

It’s our 1 year anniversary as a podcast! And to celebrate, Evelyn is bringing you a two-parter of some existential dread with Paul WS Anderson’s 1997 sci-fi cult classic, Event Horizon! The film follows the crew of the Lewis & Clark starship as they’re summoned to investigate a presumed-to-be-lost ship called the Event Horizon. They soon find themselves trapped in a psychological nightmare where...

Welcome back to the conclusion of our discussion on Event Horizon! This is where the heat gets turned all the way up! Poor Baby Bear. We hope you’re having as much fun listening as we had recording! We’ve had an amazing time bringing you this show for a year now and we hope to continue ruining your lives for many more to come. Thank you so much for all the continued support! TW: violence/gore, sui...

We want to start off by saying we’re sorry for this one! It’s PsydeShow’s turn at the wheel and he’s driving us all insane with Claire Denis’ 2002 addition to the New French Extremity genre, Trouble Every Day. This is a pretty harrowing watch, so we’ll understand if you want to skip viewing it yourself, even though we highly recommend it before listening. The film follows two American newlyweds, S...

It’s time to get radical AND mathematical with this week’s episode of TDW! Revisiting an old classic with an admitted problematic streak, Skeptik takes the wheel with the 1997 Vincenzo Natali film: Cube! When seven - oh wait, make that six - strangers wake up in mysterious, cube shaped rooms with exits in each direction and absolutely no idea how they got there, what else could ensue besides a ser...

We’re back with another stomach-turner as Evelyn leads the conversation this week! It’s firmly an ACAB episode folks so strap in, we’re covering Can Evrenol’s 2016 ride through (literal) hell, Baskin! We follow a group of police officers who are called for backup to a mysterious house in the middle of the night, where nightmares beyond their comprehension await them. Listen along and get grossed o...

We’re truly doing the Devil’s work today, with PsydeShow leading the way! This week, we’re covering Matthew Holness’ utterly disturbing (and very heady) 2018 psychological drama, Possum. The plot follows an (apparently) disgraced puppeteer who returns to his childhood home to quite literally stare the spindly horrors of his past in the face. In all fairness, it’s a bit difficult to describe this f...
