Devil Times Five horror podcast

Take your longpig meat with a side of 1980s yogurts, have a bar fight to the tune of Wallace & Gromit's theme, discover the Muppets' gender rules, and pay tribute to Sir Elton John, as the Devils (featuring the Ancient Slumber's Chris Ward) discuss the cannibal horror cycle from Italy and beyond.

This month, our theme is psychopathic old(-ish) biddies, but the Devils also discuss punching actors in the face, mixing vodka with Squirt, the most tragic way to die, the most niche joke anybody has ever said, Andrew Lloyd Webber, alternative alternative titles for Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker, and incredible amounts of sperm.

Mugs! Mugs! Mugs! This month the Devils are covering the Halloween franchise, and to be honest they'd rather be talking about anything else. So look forward to a detailed run-down of the plot of Soccer Dog: The Movie (1999) among other pointless tangents.

Self-confessed scaredy-cat Amy Hoggart joins the Devils to look at the tamer end of horror, with a trawl through some of the family-friendly films that got us and our listeners into the genre in the first place.

Along the way, we ask: Does the 3D movie Yer Spaghetti actually exist? Flying Tiger - is it shit or not? Can Bryony Star Trekkify the podcast? And what's the German word for blowjob?

Don't forget to check out Amy's brilliant podcast FeMANism!

Say what you see! It's episode 75 of Devil Times Five, and this time we're talking about the wave of American slashers that tried to emulate the success of Scream. Our features are Valentine and Cherry Falls, but there's also quite a lot about Brandon Cronenberg's new movie Infinity Pool, Mia Goth's other current showcase, Pearl, and the mad dinosaur nonsense that is 65.

And remember: only the very, very best movie trivia is good enough for us!

Comedian & actor Isy Suttie (Peep Show, Damned, The 50 Funniest Moments of 2010) joins the Devils to talk about films in which men wreak violent revenge. Not only will you hear our thoughts on Dead Man's Shoes, Blue Ruin, Bull, Death Wish and Rambo: Last Blood, but you'll hear the latest from the Rainbow Cinematic Universe and the Cliff Cinematic Universe, and get a run-down of Isy's repertoire of regional accents. Meanwhile, game 74 of Scary Noises is hit with controversy.

We need your suggestions for films to discuss on a fortcoming episode! Send titles (and anecdotes too, if you like) to [email protected], Tweet us @DevilXFive or leave a message on our Facebook page.

Bryony's gone full goblin mode, but other than that, our Gen Z episode is brought to you by the letter B. Because when we're not talking about Gen Z horror movies, we're going on about balloons, bleps, Bough (Frank), Bill (The), bangs (gang), bums and beakers.

Films up for discussion include Assassination Nation, Bodies Bodies Bodies, Cam, It Follows and So Vam, as well as new releases The Menu, Enys Men and Hellraiser.

There's a real end-of-term vibe to the Devils' last show of 2022, with lots of chat about space billionaires (and what they're really up to), making Kubrick movies filthy, and things you might find in a pub toilet.

Oh, and sometimes we remember to talk about the films we've been watching, which concern severed hands coming back to homicidal life. Our guest Devil is Simon Plotkin from Brighton-based improv group Do the Thing, there's another round of Scary Noises, and we deliver our verdict on the Highs & Lows in horror this year.

High Contrast, the Grammy-nominated don of drum'n'bass, joins the Devils for a look at Spanish horror through the 60s, 70s & 80s. He might seem an unlikely booking, but he really knows his horror!

Films covered include the Blind Dead series, Panic Beats, Anguish, The Killer of Dolls, The House that Screamed and A Bell from Hell, plus we review new releases such as Terrifier 2, Barbarian, Sissy and Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities.

Plus: unusual cake recipes, Nazi Countdown, High Contrast's unexpected Norman J Warren connection, and an incredible anecdote about some missing chairs.

One of our greatest ever episodes? Could well be!
