Pinchy has decided to spin the wheel of SHAMAN'S MYSTERY MOVIES and wouldn't you know it, she landed on Dark Angel: The Ascent! What the hell is Dark Angel: The Ascent? Why, only Full Moon Entertainment's random gonzo horror rom-com about Veronica, a vengeful demon, coming to earth to smite the wicked only to also fall in love with a dweeby doctor. There are hellhounds and torn-out spines in this...

Can you believe that there's a movie from the golden age of 90s counter-culture that Pinchy hasn't seen?? Deja vu, right? On this episode we're filling in a pretty glaring gap in Pinchy's movie knowledge by watching Tank Girl, which Shaman could have sworn she'd already seen. I mean seriously, it's one of the most Pinchy-coded movies ever! So pop in that Courtney Love-Cobain cassette tape and rev...

Can you believe that there's a movie from the golden age of Tim Burton that Pinchy hasn't seen?? Well on this episode, Shaman makes sure to rectify that situation because we're watching Ed Wood! Sure, it's not as supernatural and weird as some other Burton films, but there's a very good reason why Shaman considers it one of the director's best, and you can find out that reason (along with some ext...

There's no better way to celebrate 4/20 than by DOING SUBSTANCES WHILE WE WATCH THE SUBSTANCE!

But is there more here than just butts and blood? We'll find out on thi...

Come along as she and the Shaman partake of different substances than usual and mar...

To celebrate Halloween, Shaman and El Pinchito are watching...not a horror movie! Listen to our previous episode if you want something spooky, because on this one we're on the run with a supersoldier in the underrate wacky action comedy Drive. No, not the one with Ryan Gosling, the one with Walter the Einstein Frog! So stick your boots on your hands and get ready to kick the asses of a million goo...

What's your favourite tarot card? Is it...THE DEVIL? On this maritime themed episode of The Devil's Lettuce Film Socity, El Pinchito and the Shaman get together in meatspace for the first time in years to light up some of Poseidon's Cabbage and watch the 2024 trashy horror flick Tarot! Pinchy loves tarot cards - will the movie feature extremely well-researched depictions of the oracular arts, I wo...

Shit, we missed 4/20! Better late than never, I guess! On this episode, Pinchy and the Shaman are taking a walk on the weird side as they watch the long-forgotten-then-rediscovered Gore Cut of the bizarre early-90s schlock-fest Tammy and the T-Rex! Who was this movie made for? Did she sleep with that robot dinosaur?? Words can't do it justice, folks, you'll just have to listen to us going insane....

We're going deep into the surreal mind of a serial killer as El Pinchito and the Shaman wrap themselves in Twizzlers and watch the turn-of-the-millennium goth classic The Cell!

The Cell (2000) Director: Tarsem Singh Writer: Mark Protosevich Starrin...

Is it really true that Terry Gilliam doesn't do drugs? Seems unlikely! On this episode, El Pinchito and The Shaman return to Gilliam's filmography to watch Time Bandits, the bizarro fairy tale on crack that might all be a child's dream OR IS IT? Regardless, I think we can all agree that a pirate ship worn as a giant's hat is the best mode of transportation. Time Bandits (1981) Director: Terry Gill...

Oh geez, CONTENT WARNING! This movie features some very unfortunate sexual violence that neither Shaman nor Pinchy were aware of going into it. We thought this was about happy sex aliens! But it's not a total loss, because rapists are getting crystal shards blasted into their brains and then crumple up like someone's discarded shawarma tinfoil. Weird shit! Bed chicken is the real gateway drug! Liq...

It's the Devil's Lettuce Film Society's birthday! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, Pinchy and the Shaman are looking back at three years of ridiculous, stoned movie watching and discussing their favourite DLFS movies, their favourite podcast in-jokes, their favourite weed strains, and they even get all philosophical as they discuss their personal relationships to the art of cinema.

Things are getting mysterious on this episode of the Devil's Lettuce Mystery Society, because someone recommended the Irish horror comedy Extra Ordinary to El Pinchito...but she can't remember who!

Full disclosure, though - this is actually Pinchy's TED Talk on the genius of Blink 182 front man Tom DeLonge, because none other than DeLonge funded this film, and he's got his fingers in many different multimedia pies. Eew! Not literal pies. Anyway, get ready for an e...

What do Patrick Swayze, meatball sandwiches, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers have in common? Why, the 1991 classic action-bromance Point Break, of course!
