Happy Death Day / Happy Death Day 2 U

Welcome back to class – our sophomore week of “BETA THETA DIE - COLLEGE HORROR” is now in session! Austin has selected this week’s curriculum which brings us into the 21st century with a duo of slasher sci-fi flicks, HAPPY DEATH DAY and HAPPY DEATH DAY 2 U. Along the route to that final exam we discuss other lessons varying from which sense we’d lose if were forced to choose, our horror households, Cody’s trip to Singapore, and so, so much Dune.

 

00:00 - 31:00ish Intros and Friendship! Austin’s maybe going blind (he’s not) so he asks for sight recommendations, and we talk culture as Cody just came back from Singapore!

Lucas: Lisa Frankenstein, Drive Away Dolls, Spaceman, Dune: Part II, and Shogun.

The Sentinel (1977)

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.

We hope you enjoy the feast!
