As Winter death rattles into Spring and Summer licks its tasty chops eyeballing its oncoming vernal meal, so does the SHUDcast return with another ritualistic review. The boys put on their outdoor pants and go on a foraging mission to gather dried sticks and other detritus in order to properly discuss the SHUDDER Original, HELLBENDER. Along the way we discuss the evolution of COVID seasons, Austin’s trip to Broadway, and teach Cody a bevy of filmmaking techniques so he may ascertain this fine art of Cinema. Grab a dried fruit of your choice and hex the world around you as you dig in to this witchy episode!

00:00 - 13:30 ish Intros. We discuss which season the show is in and how it probably lines up with COVID seasons, reminiscing on COVID season 1, and how the seafaring folk talked to us at Austin’s bachelor party.

13:30 ish -  49:00 ish  What we watched this week! Halloween Kills (again and again), Stand By Me, The Brood (or at least partially), Blade Runner 2049, Kubo and the Two Strings (with some enhancement), Coraline, Everything Everywhere All At Once (the first of many you’ll hear about from us), Pig, The Gentlemen, Wrath of Man, The Lost City, Hellraiser, Hellraiser 2, Turning Red, Dark Shadows, and Yellowjackets. In other mediums, Cody went to a couple of concerts and saw AFI and Baroness while Austin went to actual Broadway and saw Dear Evan Hansen and Six, and Curtis went to fake Broadway with Joel Schumacher’s Phantom of the Opera.

49:00 ish -    HELLBENDER SHUDdown and discussion
