It’s time to get handsy this week on the Devil’s Work! PsydeShow’s pick is the 1999 horror comedy cult classic Idle Hands, directed by Rodman Flender! And we’re joined by a very special guest, Brannon of The John Candy! With their particularly fun brand of metal (dubbed “nostalgia-core”), they emit the same energy as this film: chaotic, familiar, and hilarious.
Anton is your stereotypical, trashy high school burnout: he smokes weed every day (we see nothing wrong there), he hangs out with his friends, his hand gets possessed by a demon and murders people, he has a crush on the girl next door. You know, high school stuff. There’s an argument to be made here that this is the stoner horror comedy to end all stoner horror comedies, but that might be the nostalgia bias talking. Star studded cast, excellent physical acting/practical effects, and no moral compass. Need we say more?!
