Episode 155 – C.H.U.D. (1984)

from Dark Night of the Podcast · host Troy Escamilla, Roger Conners

Troy and Roger dive into the cult classic _C.H.U.D._, a quirky 1984 horror flick set in the gritty underbelly of 1980s New York City. They examine the film’s strange mix of mutant monsters, emotionally distant characters, and an investigation that never quite lives up to its spooky potential. Join the guys as they chat about the slow pacing, underdeveloped characters, and a villainous plot that’s more puzzling than menacing. They also highlight the film’s subtle social commentary on neglect and radiation exposure. With a mix of nostalgia and some head-scratching moments, they wonder if _C.H.U.D._ could use a fresh reboot—one that leans more into the monster madness and less into the emotional void.
