Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 107 ratings
  • Fun and Insightful

    Mixing humor with thoughtful and insightful film discussion, this is a one for the horror lovers right here. Xero and Sharai know their stuff and say what they feel which is not always the case as so many in the business of film review are so easily swayed by bias or fear of having an opinion thst may not be well received. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for real horror discussions.

  • Found what I’ve been looking for!

    The commentary, the insight, the laughs and references all in the strange darling episode sealed the deal for me. This is such a fun listen bcuz I don’t get to chat movies with a lot of people, and this is just what I’ve needed after seeing a movie and I need to hear some quality feedback on!

  • Contradictions Aplenty

    Been listening for almost a year, and it’s an okay podcast, fun if not always well informed. I come across a lot of contradictions from various episodes. This week the hosts were stressing the need to stay informed of rotten people working in the industry, then make the decision of whether or not to watch/support the project/movie they’re involved with. Basically, can you separate the art from the (nasty) artist?

    Zero kept saying we shouldn’t be too eager to get our pitchforks out and completel... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Year In Gay with Nay
Q: What stood out to you most this year in queer representation in media?
We highlighted how different films handle queer stories, noting the contrast between Leviticus's more challenging, church-centered narrative and Queens of the Dead's more celebratory, diverse cast, and discussing why audiences respond differently to each.
Baby, This Is Child’s Play with Hippy Potter
Q: How do you sustain momentum as an independent creator in a small, tight-knit industry?
By staying authentic, building a personal brand, continuously networking, and using small, strategic collaborations to expand reach, which in turn creates more doors and press, like the Garnier campaign and Webby nomination.
Baby, This Is Child’s Play with Hippy Potter
Q: What makes a killer toy scary or iconic in your view?
The guest notes that fear in toys comes from a combination of design details (hair texture, expressive features) and the ability to spark imagination; he cites examples like a cursed-looking yet cute Monkey figure and the idea that strong, memorable visuals can create lasting fear with a wink.
Baby, This Is Child’s Play with Hippy Potter
Q: What is it like to see a project you envisioned actually become a product and gain internet buzz?
The guest describes a progression from posting Toasty online to seeing it explode in interest, leading to real-world collaborations and a Webby nod, all fueled by staying hands-on, maintaining control, and leveraging direct relationships with manufacturers and mentors.
Link-Up at the Intersection w/ Monica Moore-Suriyage
Q: What's next for you and how can listeners support your work?
Monica discusses Blow, a short about a sentient inflatable sex doll seeking revenge, funded via Seed & Spark, and a potential feature in development, with ongoing crowdfunding and location sharing to keep supporters engaged.
