  • Just the Best

    I just want to say thank you so much for clueing me in to some of my new favorite movies since I started listening. I came here because I watched The White Reindeer and needed to talk about it to someone, and now I truly love listening to Drusilla and Josh talk about the things I also love. Has she seen it? Yes and her husband has been forced to see it now as well. Once these live shows kick off, come for a New Orleans holiday please.

  • Esoteric horror explored with elan

    Recently discovered this podcast listening to co-host Joshua Conkel as a guest on the (also great) Midnight Mass podcast. Have been devouring the back catalogue of shows for a few weeks now. Joshua and Drusilla are great hosts with a nice fire and ice dynamic, strong opinions I don’t always agree with, but argued with passion and with a distinct and interesting point of view. A real alternative to bro-horror podcasts obsessed with gore and kills at the expense of all else.

  • It's incredible to me that this podcast is not only free, but ad-free. Definitely the best movie podcast I've ever listened to, but also one of my all time favorite podcasts in general. Movie recommendations? I've found so, so many great movies that I otherwise never would have - and that's in addition to the ones they actually review! 500 characters isn't enough to do them justice, so if you love movies (and *not* just arthouse horror) do yourself a favor and check out this podcast.

  • These 2 hosts are the cutest and sweetest of all time!

    I don’t respect many people’s opinions on the internet but Josh and Dru are a different story. They’re both so knowledgeable when it comes to arthouse, film, horror, and so many other things. They’re the reason I got a Letterboxd account. If you’re a horror fan, this is a must listen. I love that they don’t really spoil the movie a lot or at all in some cases so you can listen even if you haven’t seen the film they’re talking about. I hope this pod goes on forever because it’s one of the very fe... more
