  • 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

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Buffet Infinity Is The Weirdest Cosmic Horror Movie We've Ever Seen
Q: How would you summarize Buffet Infinity's storytelling approach?
It's told as a collage of ads and local news snippets from a fictional town, creating a multi-voiced, mosaic narrative that gradually reveals a larger commentary on capitalism, media, and societal fear.
How Benjamin Byron Davis built Ice Cream Man's most mysterious character
Q: Do you see him as the villain of the film? The hero of the film? Something else entirely? How do you interpret him?
The Ice Cream Man is portrayed with a balance of menace and mystery, where his role shifts depending on perspective, allowing for a complex reading of hero, villain, or something in between.
Do the Wayans brothers actually LIKE horror? Scary Movie (2026) and what makes a GOOD horror parody
Q: What was your funniest moment from the movie?
The Long Legs gag delivered by Chris Elliott stood out as a perfect blend of a familiar character with a contemporary horror in-joke, while others cited Shaq and certain one-off bits as memorable, though opinions varied on overall humor quality.
Frogman Returns director Anthony Cousins | Interview
Q: How does the sequel differ from the original in terms of tone and scope?
The sequel expands the world with a bigger, more comedy-forward tone while still retaining the found-footage vibe and practical effects, aiming to feel more like a character-driven story rather than a pure in-your-face horror piece.
"Entertaining mess" - The Bride, horror review
Q: Would you want to see a director's cut or more material that clarifies the Bride's arc?
Several participants express curiosity for a director's cut that delves deeper into the Bride's agency and memory, suggesting that a tighter version could crystallize the intended through-line.
