Beware of The Blob

Den of Cin with Devin & James ·

2022/10/13

"Beware of The Blob! It creeps, and leaps, and glides, and slides across the floor. Right through the door, and all around the wall. A splotch, a blotch. Be careful of The Blob." So warns the catchiest pop tune ever to open a monster movie. Devin & James are celebrating the start of the Halloween Season with a look back at one of the most fun, and underrated, horror/sci-fi series of the 20th century. From the indie charm of the classic 1958 original (Steve McQueen as a teenager?) through its

Summer of 1982

2022/09/21

Devin & James are back in the Den of Cin just in time to finish out the summer of 2022 with a look back at the summer of 1982! And they've brought along special guest Casey O'Connor to share his memories of one of the most influential summers the box office has ever seen. E.T., The Thing, Blade Runner, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Tron, Rocky III, The Road Warrior, Poltergeist, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High are but a sampling of what the summer of 1982 had to offer with a side of buttered

Plague Double Feature - The Sadness (2021) & Rabid...

Den of Cin with Devin & James ·

2022/08/24

Devin & James are back in the Den to analyze a sample of classic Plague Movies: Taiwan's brutal THE SADNESS from 2021, and vintage David Cronenberg with 1977's RABID! We also make a quick examination of the contagions and parasites unsealed in George A. Romero's THE CRAZIES and Cronenberg's own SHIVERS, and how these films all feed upon each other so nicely. Are these films as depraved as their reputations? What qualifies as a Plague Movie? Can experimental plastic surgery really cause someone

2022/05/24

Devin & James are back at Crystal Lake for the conclusion of our deep dive into the FRIDAY THE 13th SERIES! Love 'em or hate 'em, the back half of this iconic film series has given us plenty to talk about. From the start of the Zombie Jason era, to a lake trip to NYC, to Hell and back, to outer freakin' space, and then back to meet an old foe in need of a severe manicure, these films really take viewers all over the place. Plus, we finally realize the 2009 franchise reboot is maybe the best

Friday the 13th - The Beginning (parts 1-5)

Devin & James bring you a Friggatriskaidekaphobic's nightmare. If you don't know your phobias, that's the fear of FRIDAY THE 13th!! In our first deep dive into a particular film franchise, we visit Pamela Voorhees and her son JASON deep in the forest (for now) to find out what makes these first movies in the series so influential. One of our favorite series of all time, we found so much to say about what happens at Crystal Lake that we'll have to come back for a sequel to finish it off. Enjoy your

Michael Biehn

Den of Cin with Devin & James ·

2022/04/25

Devin & James return to the DEN OF CIN to discuss action icon MICHAEL BIEHN. From his breakout one-two punch in THE TERMINATOR & ALIENS, through his bad guy turn in TOMBSTONE, to his current slate as writer/director/star of indie horror flicks, Biehn has always been one of the more interesting, and perhaps misunderstood, of 80's action stars. We get into a few of his early and mid-career highlights too, like 1981's THE FAN and 1993's gleefully insane DEADFALL. You don't wanna miss this one,

Den of Cin with Devin & James ·

2022/03/25

Devin & James are serving up a treat in the DEN OF CIN. It's an unlikely and weird double feature of CANNIBAL FILMS! First we get into Paul Bartel's 1982 cult comedy EATING RAOUL, starring Bartel, his longtime collaborator Mary Woronov, and Robert Beltran in the title dish... er, we mean role. Then we dive into a very recent film for a change, the 2022 Hulu "meat cute", FRESH. Directed by Mimi Cave, starring the excellent Daisy Edgar-Jones, as well as Sebastian Stan in a role sure to make your

Ivan Reitman with Special Guest Casey O'Connor

Den of Cin with Devin & James ·

2022/03/02

Devin & James have brought their ol' buddy Casey O'Connor back to the Den of Cin to pay tribute to yet another legend we have recently lost, Ivan Reitman. Reitman was prolific as a writer/director/producer, and to try listing all his accomplishments in this space would be an exercise in futility. We do our best to jam in as much as we can, from his trashy exploitation roots through some of the most incredible and important mainstream work the art form has ever seen. For the director whose film

Devin & James are back in the Den for another tribute. 2022 has already been a rough year for all entertainment lovers, with the loss of so many heavies in their respective genres and mediums. In this episode, we discuss film historian/writer/director/actor PETER BOGDANOVICH, who passed away on January 6, 2022. From his start with Roger Corman, into his meteoric rise from "The Last Picture Show" through "Paper Moon," into some of his very famous friendships with the very famous, and on to his

Chuck Heston's Apocalypse Trilogy

2022/01/13

Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN with another damn, dirty podcast! To ring in 2022, we're going on a casual Apocalypse Safari with Charlton Heston, through his strangely beautiful, and highly influential unofficial trilogy dealing with man's own self-destruction. With PLANET OF THE APES, THE OMEGA MAN, and SOYLENT GREEN (set in the futuristic hellscape of 2022), Chuck dropped a pop culture bomb that rippled through the American psyche, forever influenced sci-fi, sparked philosophical

2021/12/24

Devin & James are back in the Den of Cin, just in time to deck the halls with perhaps our oddest double feature yet! So many Holiday movies, so little time. We debate what it is that makes a Christmas movie a CHRISTMAS MOVIE (Yippi-ki-yay). Then we take a closer look at a couple of more obscure holiday perennials around our own homes. James takes on the melancholy cuteness of Jim Henson's "Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas," while Devin digs into why the yuletide thriller "Christmas Evil (a.k.a

Devin & James are back in the Den of Cin with a new DOUBLE FEATURE episode featuring the one, the only (thank goodness) NICOLAS CAGE! First we take on his now iconic 2009 turn in BAD LIEUTENANT - PORT OF CALL: NEW ORLEANS, a movie containing so much crazy, it seems impossible that director Werner Herzog caught it all in one film. We follow that up with a discussion on his latest film, PIG, which brilliantly spins the Nicolas Cage persona through a bizarre Portland underworld of chefs and

Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN with more lists! This time they've each come with their own lists of five actors who have all played the same character. Devin examines the dark alleys and seedy nightclubs of DETECTIVE PHILIP MARLOWE, and James explores the open crypts and damp castles of COUNT DRACULA! A lot of fine (and not so fine) performers have played these iconic roles, and we lay out the ones we find most important, or just damn weird. Will your favorites make the

This is our first of what we hope are many DOUBLE FEATURE episodes, where we will discuss one newer film along with an older one that shares themes or artists with the other. And boy do we have a doozy for our first double... 2021's spin on a vampire awakening, JAKOB'S WIFE, and the underrated straight-to-video gore classic CASTLE FREAK from 1995, both featuring a stellar performance by BARBARA CRAMPTON!

Devin & James are back in the DEN OF CIN! In our new PODCAST, we celebrate one of the most admired filmmakers of our lifetime, RICHARD DONNER, who the world lost on July 5th. From THE OMEN to SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, and THE GOONIES to LETHAL WEAPON, and everything in between and beyond... Richard Donner's attention to (his and my favorite word) VERISIMILITUDE in his movies made him one of the most influential storytellers to ever call "ACTION!" From his start in the pioneering days

But it wasn't just Swayze and Sam Elliott's facial hair kicking butt in '89. Devin & James also rant about TANGO & CASH, BLIND FURY, Burton's BATMAN, Indy's LAST CRUSADE, ACTION U.S.A., and so many more.
