  • Jim’s delivery has really declined

    I feel guilty about writing this, as I used to enjoy this podcast, but with each episode, Jim seems to pause more and to become increasingly incapable of speaking in complete sentences.

  • Good show

    I think these guys do a decent job. It’s informative, they’ve done a bit of research and even though Ive read my share about the Universal Monsters and some of the earlier monster stuff I always find something new. The production quality is good, they both have decent mics and I think they work well together. They’re clearly fans and that helps.

  • A great podcast for gods and monsters

    As someone other a lifelong love of classic horror this podcast naturally appeals to me for the subject matter. But beyond that Jim and Livio as hosts are so much fun to listen with their chemistry, passion for these films and knowledge. It feels like hanging out with cool horror-loving friends they’re just coming from a speaker.

  • You can do better (or maybe you really can’t)

    You say Toovor, we say Továr; you say Medford, we (and your cohost) say MeLford; you say Baldersteen, we BalderSTON. You continue to disseminate misinformation, we shake our collective heads.
