S.H.U.D.cast

mother!

We say goodbye to the land of cults with maybe the most dangerous cult of all – biblical allegory! That’s right, we’re tackling Darren Aronofsky’s divisive and provoking mother!. Does the film stand on its own or is it simply an exercise? Is it about Aronofsky? Who got the bigger end of the wishbone baby? All of that and more within the episode. Along that path Curtis discusses way too many movies, including a couple of new releases! Then stick around to hear Cody’s selection for the next theme and first film within that theme!

Sinners

If you keep dancing with the devil… you jump your release order and record an emergency episode about one of the most exciting movies we at the SHUDcast have ever seen. We’re talking about Ryan Coogler’s Southern Blues Vampire Masterpiece, SINNERS. We don’t just insert this flick absent-mindedly, however, as you’ll see that this flick fits rather (surprisingly) nicely into our next theme which will premiere after our mother! episode drops, courtesy of Cody. So grab a pint of corn liquor and your guitar and get ready to jam as we drain this sucker dry (WARNING: Full spoilers. Check the episode notes below for time stamps).
