Reviews
- Indulgent, directionless and uninteresting.
There are a few episodes where a guest will force the host, Josh, to stay on topic and talk about horror films. Most of the time it is just an immature self-interested Canadian trying to have a therapy session. It doesn’t stay on topic. It is often not interested in horror and is largely unaware of its audience. The podcast name and description should be updated. It’s really a podcast about lgbt culture in horror.

United States2 months ago - NO RESEARCH, WIKI READING WORD FOR WORD!
No research done at all. You can hear the host trying to read the Wikipedia page. It’s disjointed and unnecessary. Try Halloweenies instead!

United Kingdom3 months ago - Humorous, informative and fun!
I’m not sure what the other reviewers are complaining about, I find the host delightful and I understand if his humor may not be your cup of tea. However, the show is a fun and informative way to learn about your favorite franchises unmade movies. Highly recommended!
Apple Podcasts5Tyler PhantomhiveUnited States6 months ago - One Star is being gracious
The audio levels are too low, the host has an annoying voice and he doesn’t even discuss the subject of podcasts until 3/4 of the episode.
Apple Podcasts1KCgraphixUnited States6 months ago - Great content, spooky audio quality.
The content is fantastic, hosts are great, but the audio quality is awful. Host needs a better mic, whoever is engineering in the room needs to check for hot mics and adjust gain accordingly. This podcast is really held back by basic audio mistakes.
Edit: one year later and the host still has no idea how to use a mic. great content ruined by rookie audio production mistakes.
