Chilling in Madrid: The Devil's Christmas Eve
This week, Richard and Angeles summon chaos with The Day of the Beast (1995), a Spanish cult classic that blends black comedy, religious satire, and end-of-the-world absurdity like no other.
We break down Álex de la Iglesia’s wild vision scene by scene—from a priest hellbent on sinning his way to the Antichrist to a TV psychic and a metalhead teaming up to stop the apocalypse. It's hilarious, heretical, and surprisingly heartfelt beneath the Satanic surface.
