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 of divorce on film, and so, so much Ken Russell.

Friday Jan 12, 2024
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 its place ( or lack thereof) in the horror canon. Along the way we discuss allll the movies we watched over the holidays as well as our brand new PATREON! Yes, finally, it is going to be available to you all so you can inject all that sweet sweet bonus SHUDcast goodness into your veins.
