  • Sally Lappy Appy!!

    Another great episode! Wishing Jacqueline a speedy recovery. When she mentioned what the Doctor called her procedure I couldn’t stop saying it in Franklin’s voice from Texas Chainsaw Massacre: “Sally Lappy Appy!” Can’t wait for the next episode. Have a good one guys.

  • A cut above all the other horror podcasts 😎

    Man I wish I had written this sooner seeing the lack of reviews on here. So I found this podcast from being a long time listener to a friend of theirs (straight chilling!) and I’m so happy it led me to this group of friends and this show. If you want an intelligent, thoughtful take on a genre from a fun group that don’t take themselves too seriously-this is for you. This one has surpassed all of the horror podcasts I listen to. Thanks for the great pod!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

E271: Dangerous Animals (2025)
Q: Captain Steve, what drew you to Dangerous Animals as a pick for Sharktember?
I was curious about a shark-centric horror that leans into human threat more than monster-on-screen antics, and the film delivered a polished, tense experience with a standout lead performance and a fresh killer-prey dynamic.
E267: Over the Garden Wall (2014)
Q: Why did you choose Over the Garden Wall for this episode?
To explore a deeply human and seasonal story that blends whimsy with horror-adjacent mood, and to discuss its rich subtext about family, mortality, and growth.
E263: Smile 2 (2024)
Q: Do you think Smile 2 will lead to a Smile 3?
Yes, the panel suspects another installment is likely given the box office reception and the setup for further exploration, though the panel hopes the creator maintains quality and avoids over-expansion.
E263: Smile 2 (2024)
Q: Why did you choose Smile 2 as a discussion topic for this episode?
The hosts felt it offered a strong comparison to the first film, with notable improvements in style and storytelling, while also presenting fresh character dynamics and social commentary on fame and trauma.
E236: Godzilla: Minus One (2023)
Q: John, why did you choose this film for the month and what hooked you?
John was drawn in by the emotional depth, the balance of war-era themes with monster action, and the film's craft—acting, score, and visuals—making it more than just a monster movie.
