Episode 315: The Attic Expeditions (2001)
Happy Anniversary to us! We are officially six years old! And with that milestone comes a conversation on one of Nathaniel's favorite films, 2001's The Attic Expeditions, a criminally underseen little film. The guys talk the incredible cast, muddy story, and an amazing pov tracking shot featuring Seth Green!
August 14 · 1 hr 18 min
Episode 314: Dust Devil (1992)
Cutting Deeper continues with 1992's underseen Dust Devil, a beautiful and awkward little film directed by an admittedly problematic figure. The guys discuss colonialism, mysticism, and 1992 politics, while enjoying the film's ethereal nature.

Episode 313: Haunted (1995)
It is the month of our 6th anniversary on At The Devil's Ball, so we are celebrating with Cutting Deeper, a selection of "deep cut" films we enjoy, beginning with 1995's Haunted! We talk the film's throwback style, ghosts, and a lot about Kate Beckinsale! The film is available on Tubi, and it is highly recommended that listeners watch the film first!

Episode 311: Oldboy (2003)
Best Served Cold continues with one of the all-time great films of (at least) the 21st century with Park Chan-Wook's Oldboy! The guys talk alternative reads, Batman comparisons, and the deep seated psychological and emotional relationships that exist throughout this truly magnificent film.
July 17 · 1 hr 24 min
Episode 310: Revenge (2017)

Episode 306: Curse of Chucky (2013)
Out of the Toy Box rolls on with Curse of Chucky, a lean and mean gothic slasher film that also has Chucky in it. The guys talk the atmosphere, the gothic visual style, and sing the praises of Don Mancini, who we feel comes into his own here as a filmmaker.

Out of the Toy Box resumes with special guest Michelle Nessk, who stops by to discuss their new graphic novel and talk 2004's horror-comedy Seed of Chucky! We talk awkward but well meaning non-binary representation, self-referential comedy, and sing the praises of Jennifer Tilly.
June 9 · 1 hr 57 min
Episode 304: Bride of Chucky(1998)
The run through of the Chucky series continues with Bride of Chucky! The guys enlist the aid of podcaster Sarah Sinn to help tackle the weird little horror comedy, talking humor, John Ritter, and the inclusion of Tiffany, a bold move for a franchise.
May 28 · 1 hr 41 min
Episode 303: Child's Play 3 (1991)
The guys continue their Chucky run with Child's Play 3, a sometimes awkward but still entertaining little film, while they also pay tribute to the (sadly) defunct Cinema Wasteland. Come enjoy Child's Play 3 with us!

April 17 · 1 hr 43 min
Episode 297: Nosferatu (2024)
Vampire Month Rises From The Tomb continues with 2024's beautiful but oddly shallow Nosferatu, a mixed bag of astonish visuals, odd performances, and occasionally clashing thematic choices. The guys tackle monstrosity, the spiritual vs the physical, and other subjects!
April 10 · 1 hr 34 min
Episode 296: Near Dark (1987)
Vampire Month Rises From The Tomb begins in earnest with NEAR DARK, a vampire western that likely needs no introduction. The guys talk subtext, vampire "cures," and great casting.
