The Devil Made Me View It: A Horror Podcast

After nearly a year of trying to get our schedules (and lives) to work out, we've finally found a way to get our friend George on the show to discuss why he thinks Maximum Overdrive is a film that knew the assignment and succeeds on every level. Are we over selling it a bit? But yea, but blame it on the contact high from the film. We talk how we first saw Stephen King's directorial debut and why it should be taught in schools across the land.Enjoy!J&J

We invite our friend Rosemary ( @thatweirdgothgirl.bsky.social.bsky.social ) to the show do discuss any movie she'd like and she didn't let us down. This week we talk up REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA, something that Jesse had missed and JR hadn't seen in almost twenty years. Find out if this experimental film still packs a punch. THANKS! J&J

For some films, we know we're in over our head so we had to bring in reinforcements to help us Tackle Robert Eggers new classic NOSFERATU. So with the help of Jesse's incredible wife Becky, we try to wrap our collective heads around just why this movie seems to work so well for us and not so well for others.Let's see which camp you belong to.Enjoy!

We wrap up our Evil Dead celebration with Evil Dead: The Musical and a look at the glory that was Ash vs Evil Dead, then we hit the virtual mailbag and see who's listening and to say thanks for their time.J&J

Episode 5 of our EVIL DEAD journey brings us to Lee Cronin's EVIL DEAD RISE, a movie that we just can't figure out why some people don't like. We explore what it is about this particular film's characters that make it stand out and why we keep coming back to it. Enjoy!

Our fourth episode of our EVIL DEAD franchise revisit brings us to the 2013 remake/ reimagining/ relaunch. If you've been following along as we go through the series, you'll know how much we enjoyed it years ago when we first saw it. Does it hold up though? Find out on this week's episode.Spoiler Alert: It totally still rocks.THANKS!

Part 3 of our Evil Dead revisit finds our boy Ash having to save the world from deadites in 1300 AD. We talk how AoD ranks with the other chapters in the original trilogy, and if it can even be called a trilogy. Bruce Campbell deserves love and that's what we're here to do. THANKS

We're joined this week for a special bonus episode by indie horror director David Keane to talk about the state of horror, his film DIRTY JERSEY (currently on YouTube and so to be on Tubi), and what we can look forward from him in the future.Enjoy!

Week 2 of our deep dive brings us back to that damned cabin in the woods for EVIL DEAD 2. Is it everything Jesse hoped it would be? Can JR ever hope to recapture the love he felt for Raimi's sequel when he first saw it as a kid?Find out this week.ENJOY

We begin our hard long look into one of the most unique and satisfying franchises to ever come out of Michigan: The Evil Dead. Jesse and JR celebrate all things Raimi starting with WITHIN IN THE WOODS and how they first came across The Evil Dead.THANKS!

We get reacquainted with our old friend Sam Raimi with his latest picture SEND HELP. One of us had to mull over his thoughts on the new surprisingly bloody Rachel McAdams thriller, and the other still can't get the name right. Find out who is more embarrassed in the end. No matter what, we wound up loving it for its beautifully distinct Raimi-esse. Enjoy! J&J

We conclude our month of IT with a discussion on HBO's IT: WELCOME TO DERRY. J&J

In Part 3 of our month long dive into the films based on Stephen King's IT, we take a long look at the much maligned IT: CHAPTER TWO.J&J

Jesse and JR discuss some of their favorite, often overlooked, remakes.

Following our discussion on BRING HER BACK, we wanted to stay down under and explore some of Australia's other exports, including DANGEROUS ANIMALS.

Some times you come across a film that just defies you to not fully love it. Our mystery guest brought us what we can only describe as 90 minutes of magic.

Join us as we discuss one of Jesse's favorites. Killer Klowns From Outer Space is such a beloved film that we had to bring on a mystery guest to even being to do it justice.

Join us as we celebrate BOTH Toxies! We compare and contrast our love for all things Toxic Avenger.

American Psycho is even more timely now than when it was first released. Let's see if it still stands up to watching the film when compared to the novel, plus we discuss the possible remake's chances of topping the Christian Bale classic.

JR has been counting the minutes for the release of Chain Reactions, the unique documentary tracking first impressions of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It's a doc to be celebrated and shared.

Netflix gets a pass from us for LIFE for giving del Toro's Frankenstein to the world. We break it down and track just what moment made us devote ourselves, body and soul, to this new interpretation of the Mary Shelley classic.

For Thanksgiving this year, we sit back and reminisce about the hell that is working on Black Friday and how it took Eli Roth's THANKSGIVING to make it all better.

Always late to the game, we discuss SINNERS and act like we discover its connection to FROM DUSK TIL DAWN and celebrate Coogler's film as the neo-classic it's become.

Part 2 of our month long look at the films based on Stephen King's IT. We dive into what we thinks works (a lot), what doesn't (a few minor things), and why this might be the best cast film horror film of all time.Keep on floating!J&J

Join us as we start our month long deep dive into all things IT.We begin with Tommy Lee Wallace's 1990 miniseries starring the unstoppable Tim Curry. Enjoy!J&J

Join us as we get as much into the Christmas Season as we can with our discussion of Michael Dougherty's "Krampus" and show such much deserved love for 2010's "Rare Exports." Thanks! J&J

Join us for one of our favorite movies from 2025, BRING HER BACK. One that somehow gets harder to watch each time we try.J&J

This week Jesse brought both SPEAK NO EVIL and its American remake to the table. We dive deep and see if these two films work best together or apart, and just how far you can go and still keep your audience.Enjoy?J&J

As promised, Part Two of our countdown of our favorite horror films of 2025! Such an amazing year that we could have done a Top 20 easy. Even our discards could each be No. 1 on any other year. Let us know what topped your list this year. Happy New Year! J&J

Join us as we discuss our favorite films of 2025. There's so much to say about the stellar quality of horror this year that we're breaking it into two episodes. This first half we volley back and forth our rankings from 10 through 6. No matter what lands on top, we have to admit that we've all been spoiled by the quality of horror films released in 2025. Enjoy! J&J

This week we discuss the film that by no right should not be as good as it is. 2025's Silent Night, Deadly Night might be the best underdog success story of the year, but why is no one talking about it?Enjoy!J&J

And welcome to this week's BONUS episode of THE DEVIL MADE ME VIEW IT Podcast, hosted by Jesse Spitzer and JR Lees. This week's bonus episode answers the age old question: What's the best Jaws movie that isn't Jaws? Did we answer it, or was this just an excuse to talk more about Jaws? You'll have to watch the episode to find out. We hope you enjoy it! J and J

This week's unlocked BONUS episode of THE DEVIL MADE ME VIEW IT finds Jess and JR discussing JAWS, another first time watch for Jesse. Does Jesse think this tale of a lonely fish finding its way home for dinner live up to the hype? Find out on this week's BONUS episode. THANKS J and J

In this week's bonus episode, Jesse and JR discuss the films (or tv shows) that scarred their souls and made them the horror fans they are today. It's equal parts film discussion and group therapy. Enjoy! J and J

In our EPISODE ZERO premier, we mention several times our actual first episode and cite is as example of how the show will go. In face we mention it so many times we thought we might as well include it as BONUS EPISODE. In it, we discuss not only Kubrick's THE SHINING, but also the Stephen King penned/ Mick Garris directed TV mini-series as well as Mike Flanagan's masterful follow up DOCTOR SLEEP. In these early episodes, the pod's concept was that one host would bring the other a film that they loved dearly to discuss. We get a little loose with that format, but our show's devotion to celebrate horror is really best shown with our talk of all thing SHINING. All this for the low low price of nothing. THANKS J and J

After the dust settled, we relaunched our show with an EPISODE ZERO. Here we show our cards and reintroduce our selves, quickly mourn the lost show, and dive into a fresh start.Always pushing for the bright side, this relaunch gave us autonomy and the ability to cuss as much as we possibly can. Our mamas are so proud.THANKS!
