  • A hit of nostalgia and hilarity

    Huge fan of this podcast, so much so that I subscribed to the Patreon in order to get hold of more episodes. Like the best movie review podcasts, in this case I don’t think you even need to see the films the host Stevie and his guests are discussing; a perfect alchemy of films of the sort and of the era being discussed means nothing is lost by hearing them talked about.

  • Absolute trash. I love it!

    Such a fun podcast! Stevie’s an infectiously enthusiastic host; guests always bring something interesting; and the films are always well chosen. Some are “so bad they’re good,” of course, but there are loads of genuinely brilliant little gems lurking in the darkness.

    A splendid celebration of the weird!
