So worth it
Podcast Addict53 months agomaugdwCan't recommend enough! If you love storytelling, horror movies, writing, workshopping, this is a must listen. Phenomenal hosts, outstanding stories, very fun guests. My all-time favorite podcast.

I will admit, not every episode was for me but this has been one of my favorite things to listen to. I’m happy that unlike the MCU you gave this a beginning, a middle, and an end. I look forward to seeing where things go with the Pod Universe and hopefully by end of 2026 I’m caught up.
I laugh, cried but most importantly enjoyed a modern, throughout refresh of some of the greatest monsters ever created.

Frequently Asked Questions About This Podcast
What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?
Two hosts, Dylan Roth and Dalton Deschain, continue exploring and reimagining a shared horror-universe concept through brainstorming pitches, crossover ideas, and meta-discussion about production and fandom.
