It’s week three of “Oh My Gotttttthhhhhh” where we explore the nooks and crannies of gothic horror. We leave behind the bloodsuckers and their castles for ghosts and their need to make children… kissy(?)... as we explore Jack Clayton’s seminal 1961 masterpiece, THE INNOCENTS.   As always you kind find more of the stuff you love at our PATREON! Join up at the link below and you can unlock the abili...

Some call it a Perfect Organism. To others, it’s just the SHUDcast! We ring in our 100th main feed episode with an extraterrestrial extravaganza ranking, SHUD-ding down, and discussing all 8 films in the Alien movie franchise. We want to thank every single person who has listened, interacted, or enjoyed this show over the last four years and we’re excited to do this for another 1,000. So strap on...

Leave it to Cody to test the limits of our parameters, or maybe show us how wrong we are, in week two of “Oh My Gottttthhhh!!!” as we get a little steamy, a little freaky, and maybe even a little campy discussing the 1971 Belgian/French/German classic, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS!   00:00 - 9:30ish - Intros! We have a guest and talk about internet fads!   9:30ish - 47:30ish - The other stuff we watched...

We’ve traveled oceans of time… since the last time we recorded together! The SHUD boys reconvene after a month of traveling the world both physically and cinematically to discuss a hundred or so movies that we’ve collectively watched as we culminate in the beginning of our newest theme, “Oh My Gottttthhhhh!” courtesy of Lucas, and dive deep into Francis Ford Coppola’s artistic fever dream BRAM STO...

Welcome to the final encounter with our series “I need my space, man” OR “Alien? I barely KNOW-lien!” which has been all about space horror and the various ways aliens and the unfathomable reaches of our universe cinematically terrify us. On our way to getting to know our favorite Furyan and the movie PITCH BLACK, we stop off and discuss recent watches and that time Curtis was on TRL. Stick around...

The Martians and the apes and the vampires and the tennis stars are coming! In week three of “I need my space, man” or “Alien? I barely KNOW-lien!” we discuss a whole bunch of new watches including Abigail (spoilers!), more Planets of the Apes, the goodness of Challengers, and Cody’s introduction to the Best Movie Ever Made, Blow Out, and ending up at our first at-length discussion of a Tim Burton...

It’s week two of “I need my space, man” or “Alien? I barely KNOWlien!” and while we begin the episode torn asunder due to Curtis’ Covid outbreak, we quickly come to an emotional stasis as we gush about the practical mad genius of the Chiodo Bros. KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE! That makes it one to one in the aliens come to earth vs the horrors in space camps this series so stick around and see wh...

It’s a new week and a new theme as the SHUDcast boldly goes to the final frontier… or stays home and welcomes extra-terrestrial life to earth, it’s up to us really… as we dig into “I need my space, man” OR “Alien? I barely KNOW-lien!” and space horror! On our journey we’ll catch up with some new cult favorites, a couple of new release bangers, and reach our destination outside the rings of Neptune...

Welcome to the Junior edition of the SHUDcast’s BETA THETA DIE: COLLEGE HORROR series! As we come into legal drinking age we take a time-honored adolescent adventure to our local gentleman’s club and discover 1986’s horror-comedy cult classic, VAMP! During our little beer run we also make pit stops and discuss the myriad of other titles we’ve recently watched (including more Dune talk) and things...

Welcome back to class – our sophomore week of “BETA THETA DIE - COLLEGE HORROR” is now in session! Austin has selected this week’s curriculum which brings us into the 21st century with a duo of slasher sci-fi flicks, HAPPY DEATH DAY and HAPPY DEATH DAY 2 U. Along the route to that final exam we discuss other lessons varying from which sense we’d lose if were forced to choose, our horror households...

Welcome back to the SHUDcast campus where we are starting Spring semester on our new theme: “BETA THETA DIE - COLLEGE HORROR”! On the way to class we attend lectures from Austin regarding sea creatures, Lucas and his Brian De Palma discoveries, Cody’s love for straight up dramas, and Curtis’ continued Kurosawa collection. We make our way around to dropping this horrific gimmick when we take our se...

Welcome to the FINAL INSTALLMENT in our “Y’all Mothaf***as Need Satan” series! As we round up our dealings with Cinematic Satans we also discuss OUR PATREON ( https://www.patreon.com/shudcast ) where you can interact with us via Discord, see full episode video, get bonus episodes, and more… menacing Cody, Amber alerts, Akira Kurosawa, Paranormal Activities, and the other many movies that Curtis ha...

It’s week three of “Y’all Mothaf*ckas Need Satan” and Austin has assured us that we’re back on track with an actually Satanic horror film – 1976’s THE OMEN. Along the way hear us discuss our Oscars nominations thoughts (we’re multi-faceted film fans here at the SHUDcast), Cody finally watching his Unholy Grail movie MARRIAGE STORY, and then Lucas’s potentially unpopular thoughts on our main topic...

Welcome to Part II of “Y’all Mothaf*ckas Need Satan” where we get in deeper with the devil (and, in Austin’s opinion, outside the confines of horror movies entirely) with Ken Russell’s 1971 sweaty, gorgeous, and supremely overdue for a decent release, THE DEVILS. Along this path to Hell we discuss our newly launched Patreon (patreon.com/SHUDcast), Cody’s continued fear of dealing with the concept...

Welcome to the first SHUDcast of 2024! We enter this new and unholy year with new and unholy practices! First is our process by which we select our films – Cody has introduced our first thematic grouping called “Y’all Mothaf***as need Satan” and his pick within that theme is 1977’s THE SENTINEL – a WILD and seemingly under-discussed flick. We change that here with a broad talk about the movie and...

It’s here… the time of year and the episode you’ve all been waiting for – our 2023 YEAR IN RE-SPEW! We look back at all the great horrors the year gave us, real and cinematic, and do Curtis’ favorite thing in the world – make a bunch of lists! So let us know who ranked M3GAN incorrectly, who is wrong about TALK TO ME, and how your personal lists compare to ours.    From all of us at the SHUDcast,...

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.

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...
