The Devil's Lettuce Film Society

Deck the halls and travel back to the era when the 80s Man-Child ruled supreme as El Pinchito and the Shaman watch Ernest Saves Christmas! What was initially thought to just be a wacky movie for kids winds up resulting in a lot of questions, such as...what are Ernest's political leanings? How many articles of denim do you have to be wearing before your outfit is considered a Canadian tuxedo? Is being Santa a shitty job? And how old is that actor anyhow? It's a boisterous yuletide special, so light up your holiday doobie and hit play!

We're going deep into the surreal mind of a serial killer as El Pinchito and the Shaman wrap themselves in Twizzlers and watch the turn-of-the-millennium goth classic The Cell! Was Vince Vaughn's role originally intended for David Duchovny? How can you go into a coma inside a dream? And should you trust dogs? Don't trust dogs.

Is it really true that Terry Gilliam doesn't do drugs? Seems unlikely! On this episode, El Pinchito and The Shaman return to Gilliam's filmography to watch Time Bandits, the bizarro fairy tale on crack that might all be a child's dream OR IS IT? Regardless, I think we can all agree that a pirate ship worn as a giant's hat is the best mode of transportation.

Oh geez, CONTENT WARNING! This movie features some very unfortunate sexual violence that neither Shaman nor Pinchy were aware of going into it. We thought this was about happy sex aliens! But it's not a total loss, because rapists are getting crystal shards blasted into their brains and then crumple up like someone's discarded shawarma tinfoil. Weird shit! Bed chicken is the real gateway drug!

Liquid Sky (1982)

Director: Slava Tsukerman

Writer: Slava Tsukerman, Anne Carlisle

Starring: Anne Carlisle, Anne Carlisle, MRI of a hot dog

Heed the warnings of that Gorgon, my friend, because we're going to the Cryptozoo and something's amiss! Join El Pinchito, the Shaman, and special guest Vince as they experience the psychedelic Trapper Keeper story of Jurassic Park crossed with the D&D Monster Manual in all its broccoli-dicked, corn-faced glory.

It's the Devil's Lettuce Film Society's birthday! And to celebrate this momentous occasion, Pinchy and the Shaman are looking back at three years of ridiculous, stoned movie watching and discussing their favourite DLFS movies, their favourite podcast in-jokes, their favourite weed strains, and they even get all philosophical as they discuss their personal relationships to the art of cinema. Devil's Lettuce Film Society fans rejoice, because at long last, you get to peek behind the curtain!

Things are getting mysterious on this episode of the Devil's Lettuce Mystery Society, because someone recommended the Irish horror comedy Extra Ordinary to El Pinchito...but she can't remember who! On top of that, Pinchy is smoking some mysterious strain that she can't identify, so there are a whole lot of mysteries to be solved! It's like Scooby-Doo except we're all Shaggy! Plus, the Shaman tries to levitate a grape.

That's right, the Devil's Lettuce Film Society is going mainstream on this episode as we watch the third Thor movie and the (checks notes) 17th MCU film! Will any of this make sense without context? And are there any stakes if Thor himself seems to be completely invincible? Find out here! Plus we get into auteur theory again, which is always a good time. So chart a course for the Devil's Anus to Ass-gard and hit play!
