I am the Devil and I am here to do the Devil’s work. Join PJ and Derek as they leave the Firefly farmhouse for a bloody run from the law in Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects (2005). In this episode the guys burn through the witches to breakdown the film’s savage blend of horror, crime, and Southern Gothic sleaze, from its unapologetically mean-spirited family mayhem, relentless brutality, grimy exploitation aesthetics, and the uncomfortable question of whether a movie can make monsters its protagonists without asking us to root for them. 📺Join us on Third Channel Patreon to support the show and gain access to bonus content!Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

My brother always makes me wear this stupid mask. Join PJ and Derek as they take a detour to the wonderfully bizarre roadside attraction of David Schmoeller’s Tourist Trap (1979). In this episode the guys explore the film’s uncanny atmosphere, its unsettling use of mannequins and telekinesis, the oddball performances, and the strange space it occupies somewhere between slasher, supernatural horror, and fever dream, and why its particular brand of weirdness has earned it a devoted cult following decades after its release. 📺Please vote daily for Third Channel Podcast as Best Podcast for Best of the Bay 2026! https://vote.cltampa.com/entertainment/best-podcastPlease vote daily for FLYY GUY TY as Best Hip-Hop Act for Best of the Bay 2026! https://vote.cltampa.com/entertainment/best-hip-hop-actJoin us on Third Channel Patreon to support the show and gain access to bonus content!Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, & YouTube and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky, Twitter, & Letterboxd.

In this episode the guys discuss the film’s brutal set pieces, gruesome kills, and its muddy attempts to mix modern social commentary with old-school slasher mayhem.
