This week on Slashers Podcast, we’re pulling up a dusty roadside chair at the dinner table of America’s most dysfunctional family: The Fireflys.
As part of our Family Gorey Gathering month, we’re diving into Rob Zombie’s brutal, sweaty, sun-scorched nightmare The Devil’s Rejects (2005).
Ade, Mikey, and Lance talk about how Zombie evolved from the grindhouse carnival chaos of House of 1000 Corpses into something grimier, meaner, and disturbingly charismatic.
We break down the film’s cult legacy, its outlaw-country energy, and why Captain Spaulding, Otis Driftwood, and Baby Firefly became horror icons in denim, dust, and blood.We get into the film’s unflinching violence, its complicated moral grime, and why some horror families stick with us like a stain you can’t bleach out. Plus: Bill Moseley being strangely attractive in this film.
Grab a gas-station corn dog, check the backseat, and hit play. Just remember: I am the devil, and I am here to do the podcast.
