Nathan and Ryan dive headfirst into Despiser (2003), a bizarre direct-to-video hybrid that mixes live-action, early-2000s CGI, and animated hellspawn into one surreal action-horror experience. When a crooked cop is killed and dragged into a war between Heaven and Hell, he’s forced to battle demons, angels, and his own conscience—often as a glowing cartoon character. The hosts break down the movie’s ambitious-but-rough visuals, oddball mythology, and why Despiser feels like a lost late-night cable fever dream that only the Drive-In Double Feature Podcast would dare to resurrect.
