This week, Shat The Movies kicks off our annual Spooktacular with a bloody, bong-ripped bang as we revisit 1999's Idle Hands — the stoner-horror-comedy hybrid where Devon Sawa's right hand goes full demonic and Seth Green proves that death can't stop a good hang.

Commissioned by listener Christopher, this Halloween starter brings everything you'd expect from the late '90s: MTV aesthetics, a killer soundtrack, Jessica Alba's scooter, and enough weed jokes to make even Scary Movie blush. But does Idle Hands still hit, or is it just a high school fever dream of Doritos dust and Hot Topic energy?

Gene and Big D dig into the film's Columbine-cursed box office fate and confess which '90s music videos helped shape their teenage "spooky season." Along the way, we get a Fred Willard appreciation moment, a detour into Buffy fandom, and the single weirdest tangent about grasshoppers ever recorded on this podcast.

Is Idle Hands an underrated Halloween gem that deserves a second life—or just proof that the devil really does find work for idle bros? Either way, the Spooktacular has begun.

Movie Plot:
A lazy stoner's hand gets possessed and goes on a killing spree, murdering his parents, friends, and half the Halloween dance. Now Anton, his undead buddies, and a demon-hunting priestess must stop the disembodied hand before it drags his girlfriend to Hell.
