The Wicker Man (1973)

Gather ‘round the Maypole, ye Summery lads and lasses as the SHUDcast takes a pilgrimage to pagan utopia and we discuss the 1973 classic, THE WICKER MAN. In this giant, wicker effigy-sized episode, which we recorded after a long hiatus (which you didn’t experience in our releasing schedule), we go over lots and lots and lots of fun titles that we caught up on as well as our long-awaited discussion (which was featured in our ShhhUDcast mini-ep recently) on Matt Reeves’ THE BATMAN. In the middle of it all, we finally discover what Cody’s ultimate kink is and, frankly, we were all surprised and not at the same time. So settle in, grab your crisp, hallucinogenic beverage of choice, and go on this journey of discovery with us!

 

00:00 - 13:30ish Intros! What life has been like – we’re fake sponsored by HomeState Texas Kitchen in Los Angeles and Liquid Death water now. Lucas discusses trucker paradise, Bucky’s. It had been a hot minute for us even if there was no pause in your glorious releasing schedule so Cody decided to rank his friends based on how much he missed us.

 

13:30ish - 1:09:00ish What we watched over the last 6 weeks! Moonfall, Pan’s Labyrinth, Halloween Kills (Lucas finally did it!), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (‘22), the rest of the Texas Chainsaws as well (Curtis went whole hog), Turning Red (because we are men of multitudes), The Purge: Anarchy, Schindler’s List (Austin’s wife, Kaylin had COVID and she picked the movies for a minute… they’re WILD), Gladiator, My Cousin Vinny, Philadelphia, Malcolm X, Kingsman 1 & 2, Phantasm 1 & 2, The Cursed, Studio 666, Fresh, X, The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions (Lucas had a week), Hellraiser III, Fantastic Beasts 1 & 2, Yellowjackets, and then…

 

1:09:00ish - 1:35:00ish THE BATMAN. Three of us had seen Matt Reeves’ new Bat-flick three times before this discussion and we go DEEP. It’s horror-adjacent so don’t hate on us too much while we go through our emo leather and body armor phase.

 

1:35:00ish -   THE WICKER MAN.
