I first heard DeVaughn on Evolution of Horror and appreciated his commentary. I’ve really enjoyed diving into the Specter Cinema catalogue and have found Garrett to be equally insightful. My one constructive criticism is that I would love to hear you give more space to your guests. I often want to hear more from your guests but feel like they often don’t get much airtime. Thanks for providing great, down-to-earth horror content.
Two lovely, warm, funny, insightful, and intelligent humans talking horror movies. Couldn’t ask for more.
These two have a wonderful dynamic. Their discussions are lovely, insightful and fun dives into the many sub genres of horror. The kind of show that makes you want to watch and enjoy movies again.
Terrible opinion on “Aliens,” but at least the rest of the episodes are a very fun listen.
DeVaughn and Garrett are such a fun duo to listen to, and their coverage of different horror films are so great!!
