Two guys, a girl, and a horror show dive into Mandy (2018) — the Nicolas Cage psychedelic revenge horror movie from Panos Cosmatos (producer Elijah Wood), packed with cult mayhem, Children of the New Dawn, the Black Skulls, that bonkers Cheddar Goblin ad, an all-timer chainsaw fight, neon color palettes, synth score vibes, and cosmic grief; we compare Mandy to The Crow, David Lynch, Suspiria, Hellraiser, talk Cage’s bathroom scene, Bill Duke, symbolism (planets/Jupiter/Saturn), LSD trip visuals, pagan vs. cult spirituality, and why this became a modern cult classic — with special guest Bearclaw (Mouths of Madness Podcast); stick around for quotes, favorite kills, Letterboxd ratings, plus quick recs (V/H/S, Dead Alive / Braindead) and more!
