SJT: The Devil's Rejects (2005)
Description
Is The Devil's Rejects (2005) actually Rob Zombie's greatest horror movie... or did we all just get hypnotized by Free Bird and Tutti Frutti ice cream? 🍦🤠
This week on Straitjacket Talk, we're joined by Dan from the Mouths of Madness to dive into one of the most controversial horror movies ever made. We break down Rob Zombie's brutal sequel, debate whether it's secretly a horror western, argue over the unforgettable ending, discuss the Firefly family, Captain Spaulding, Baby, Otis, and whether this movie somehow tricks audiences into rooting for absolute psychopaths.
⚠️ Fair warning: There is NO @#$%ING ICE CREAM IN YOUR @#$%ING FUTURE. (Unless you hit play.)
