The Devil's Work Podcast

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...

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! Watch PsydeShow on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitch⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ! Join the discussion on Facebook (The Devil's Work Podcast) and I...

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.

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...
