The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941)

Join Seth for a very special between-seasons crossover episode* as they introduce a new addition to the Cult 'Cast Family - The Dowry Collection, with Jess Foltz and Ben Davis! For their premiere episode, our hosts talk turkey after gobbling up screen time watching Brad Grinter's often blurry, thematically confounding, weirdly preachy, cigarette-laden 1972 low-low-budget monsterpiece, "Blood Freak."  When forlorn Vietnam Vet Herschel returns home, a roadside rescue leads rapidly from bible study to racy drug-fuled party, and then to a turkey farm where off-grid scientists are brewing up a strange potion, leading our hero to seek the blood of drug addicts in the cursed form of a Were-turkey.  * The Cult Section returns for season two next week, with a roster of returning and first-time guests hosts while the other Seth golfs across the country with Team Rumbler in search of a renewed ad sponsorship. But you'll also find The Dowry Collection episodes popping up as bonus eps right here on our feed! Every Dowry Collection episode follows these two crazy kids as proving their love for each other - and the wildest wonders cinema has to offer - adding and subtracting points to arrive at a numerical verdict these film gems can be measured on over the course 'o the 'cast! That's right, folx - that's TWICE THE 'CAST AT THE SAME NO-PRICE! 

Join the Seths as they return to France where they are interrupted by a restaurant funeral, drug-smuggling government officials and a regiment of soldiers on a break in a failed attempt to have dinner and a deep interrogation of Luis Buňel's 1972 "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie," starring Fernando Rey, Delphine Seyrig, Paul Frankeur, Jean-Pierre Cassel and Bulle Ogier. Will they figure out how to properly drink a cocktail, chase toy dogs away from office buildings, or walk endlessly down the same road - and most importantly, will Seth be able to rescue the precariously dangling Rumbler sponsorship from an uncertain fate before season 2 begins? Find out... this week on The Cult Section!

This week, join Seth & returning guest host (just) Jess Sullivan as they follow a bunch of goth motorcyclists to a strange castle where they must call back odd phrases to the enigmatic (yet fabulous) host in hopes of unraveling the deeper meaning of Richard O'Brien's world-shifting 1975 musical masterpiece of camp and circumstance "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, Peter Hinwood, Little Nell, Patricia Quinn, Meatloaf and the director himself. Will their promised satanic mechanic ever arrive to change the tire? Will they stop dreaming it and start being it? Or will they be forever lost in time and space and meaning...again? Find out, this week on The Cult Section!

This week, join the Seths as they make a hasty deal with Old Scratch resulting in a long and diffcult conversation with the Hobb's End bank tellers about the current exchange rate for hell-tainted hessian gold and a fight in the parking lot with undead historical figures in the damned (but not doomed) pursuit of a proper analysis of William Dieterle's 1941 New Hampshire-core morality tale "The Devil and Daniel Webster," starring Walter Huston, Edward Arnold, James Craig, Anne Shirley, Jane Darwell, Simone Simon and Gene Lockhart. Will they assert fiscal dominance over the Hobb's End grange, nurse sick pigs back to health, or drink 27 casks of Medford Rum and hire a local fife and drum brigade? Find out, this week on the Cult Section!

This week, it's a lot like last week on the 'cast, only - DIFFERENT HOUSE! Listen in as the Seths and re-returning guest Ben Davis wrap up the Deadly Dwelling Double Feature by staring deep into the medicine cabinet of trauma and opening a spooky closet at just the right moment to properly take in Steve Miner's 1985 horror/comedy/traumarama festival of TV stars, "House," starring William Katt, George Wendt, Richard Moll and Kay Lenz. Will they have to bury a strange creature in the back yard, trick their neighbor into a paranormal photo-shoot with a couple of lite beers, go back in time to save the worst guy they've ever met or admit defeat and pathetically pretend they're having an exciting poker night? Find out, this week on The Cult Section!

This week, the Seths and returning guest Ben Davis ring in the cast's first spooky season with part one of our Deadly Dwelling Double Feature - two films called "House" back to back! It's like the real estate app "plan your weekend" of your worst nightmares! The first listing is an historic fixer-upper with great bones, nestled in the rolling hills of the beautiful Japanese countryside: Nobuhiko Obayashi's masterpiece "House" (1977), starring Kimiko ikegami, Kumiko Oba, Miki Jinbo, Ai Matsubara, Meiko Sato, Eriko Tanaka and Masayo Miyako. Will the Seths fall victim to the charms of a delightful feline friend, only to be devoured by a musical instrument when they least expect it? Will they fritter away the time locked in combat with a pile of stacked firewoood, pay too much for a roadside watermelon, or wind up having to spend vacation with Papa's new squeeze?  Find out this week on The Cult Section!

Strap in for a Very Special Episode of the Section as friend of the 'cast and co-founder of Bozeman Film Club Chris Wood joins the Seths for a cautionary tale of botched romance, misguided ego and maladaptive masculinity as they examine Stephen Frears' 2000 adaptation of the Nick Horby novel "High Fidelity," starring John Cusack, Jack Black, Todd Louiso, Iben Hjejle, Lisa Bonet, Joan Cusack, Catherine Zeta Jones, Lili Taylor and Tim Robbins. Will they unveil the backmasking that explains our protagonist's terrible behavior, come up with the ultimnate system to catergorize stored vinyl, create the best mxi-tape of all time...or collapse under the crushing weight of their own total lack of effort? Find out this week in this special episode that includes a *BONUS SEGMENT*  after end "credits," (so stay tuned) this week on The Cult Section!

This week, join the Seths and special guest Zach Allen in a belated, off-sequence episode 33 as they hit the food court, get their ears pierced and buy some shirts in a dark, cologne-drenched storefront while examining Jim Wynorski's 1986 deceptively named, chop-free satirical sci-fi horror film "Chopping Mall," starring Kelli Maroney, Tody O'Dell, Suzee Slater, Karrie Emerson, Barbara Crampton, Nick Segal and John Terleskey. Will they survive eating butter-soaked cheeseburgers at the least-hygenic mall diner in the univerze? Will they be able to evade killer mall security robots, dodge psychotic storeowners and learn how to use complex firearms by watching Clint Eastwood films, or will they fall prey to paint fumes, shoddy mall balconies and sentient technology run amok? Find out...this week on The Cult Section!

Join the Seths and returning guest "Encyclopedia" Ben Tracy as they work their way up from the mailroom in just one day, cracking pun-filled witticisms in the elvator to the top of the corporate ladder in a deep exploration of the Coen Brothers' 1994 underappreciated masterpiece "The Hudsucker Proxy," starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Paul Newman and Charles Durning. Will they discover the inherent meaning of circles and the deeper implications of Muncie origins? Will they get the necessary momentum to penetrate the plexiglass and fly out over the city streets, only to be saved by a secret double-stitch? Will they fast-talk their way out of trouble or sink forever into an infinite swamp of unrelated Pacino references? Find out - this week on The Cult Section!

This week, join Seth & guest co-host Jess (Seth is away on 'cast business) as well as first-time guest and friend of the 'cast Amanda Allen as they dodge newspapers, avoid choking on boiled bacon, ski the K12 and ponder the Street Value of This Mountain while sinking into "Savage" Steve Holland's insane 1985 quasi-auto-biopic "Better Off Dead," starring John Cusack, Curtis Armstrong, David Ogden Stiers, Diane Franklin and Kim Darby. Will they find two whole dollars? Will they inhale too much jello and have to face the whole basketball team? Will they fix up their tasty old car and win an amateur road race, or get buried in the snow by a bully named Mark Lenin or something? Find out - this week on The Cult Section!
