The Killing of a Sacred Deer

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 hadn’t recorded in a while and let Cody and Curtis to their own devices (we try to limit the amount of devices they get, we swear).

A24 SHUDsommar Trailer

BREAKING NEWS: For the foreseeable future the “S” in SHUDcast stands for “Strike”! And as such, we’ve decided to pivot our upcoming episodes and cover films from the only studio honorable enough to give SAG the agreement they’re looking for — A24!

Being that it’s the middle of summer, we’re going to start this series with MIDSOMMAR! So grab your bros, your partner, your red-headed cousin, and your finest bear skin and join us for some cultural appropriation of the finest order.

And then, once the studios can agree to stop being such f*cking selfish pricks, we’ll resume our programming on our namesake platform.

SKOL!

Martyrs / Inside / High Tension

Oui oui au Francais! We go back to the Croisette – where we are immediately escorted far, far away – and finish what we’ve started with a TRIO of the most famous horror films in the New French Extremity movement of the early 2000s. That’s right, grab your finest pair of shears, dust off that old concrete saw, and flay your skin off your body as we cover INSIDE (2007), HIGH TENSION (2003), and MARTYRS (2008). We also go deep on some recent viewings (Curtis watched too much stuff, what can we say) including, because who would we be if we didn’t weigh in, James Gunn’s trilogy capper, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Bet we’re the only podcast to put Martyrs and Guardians in the same episode description. Enjoy!

 

00:00 - 21:19ish: Friendship! We intro discussing Chet Hanks (Cody had never heard of him), sommeliers, Gary Vaynerchuck (only Lucas had ever heard of him), Lucas’ grandma’s favorite snack, the actual best pizza on the planet (Apollonia’s in Los Angeles), group texts and who we reach out to for specific help, and how incapable most of us are at basic handy things.
