  • Shut it down.

    BGH has long been a shadow of its former self, but seeing the simping and pandering for Eli Roth’s vanity company The Horror Section and the predatory, AI-fueled dreck that is his new Ice Cream Man seals the deal. Stick a fork in this one, it’s DONE.

  • Interesting

    I notice the shows have gotten shorter over the years. It’s also interesting with the show getting political over the years, the hosts never hit the topic of Gaza…& yet Jon has decided to work with a rabid supporter of the actions being done to Gaza, & to Palestinians in general

  • CEO? Schnaars?

    How does a CEO of The Horror Section, for a prominent horror director, proudly say he’s not on any social media platform or surfs the interwebs???? Way to stay current in an ever changing world - especially in the entertainment industry. While you’re sittting in your horse & buggy, reading a newspaper, fumbling for your pager & blackberry, I can hear Eli Roth’s investments flushing down the drain.

  • Actual real opinions

    Love the show and have been enjoying it for a while now mainly due to the fact that the hosts are real about the fact that 90% of modern horror movies are shallow, underwritten, boring and make no sense. Some people may see this honesty as being negative. And to those people I can only say you probably need to go elsewhere if you can’t handle people

    Not enjoying things. The crew want the bad movies to be good and look for the tiniest bit of positivity but I love that they don’t kiss the directo... more

  • Longtime listener struggling with the show

    I have been listening to BGH for close to ten years now. I really appreciated the effort they made to make the hosts more diverse after #MeToo, and the show definitely improved when they added more women and LGBTQ guests. I am just begging you all to stop covering BIPOC horror if you aren’t going to bring on people from those communities to balance out uninformed opinions. Their takes on Sinners during the end of year show made it clear that they didn’t even bother to read or listen to any other... more

Q: What were the biggest challenges of shooting with body cameras and minimal crew?
Coordinating actors wearing cameras, lighting, and blocking so it felt real-time and cohesive, while also managing the limitations of wide-angle fisheye lenses and keeping the visual language consistent.
