  • I needed this pod SO MUCH

    As a well educated, analytical person and Horror enthusiast, I needed this podcast so much. The title of this podcast is exactly what it is. Brucker has a good grip on each movie he analyzes and really dissects them in a way that brings great insights for listeners. I listen to other pods on horror but this one just really tears apart the movie in a good way. If you want to learn more about the movies you love, this pod gives that!

Q: Any standout moments from the hospital sequence that you think reframe the story?
