  • Target audience issue

    The show is not meant for people who actually had any graduate level education so it ends up being a show for those who lacks in any academic training but wants to feel a little pretentious. Not meant for those who even took Film Studies 101.

  • What people are willing to say this openly??

    Made it about 20 minutes into their review of The Brood (one of my favourite Cronenberg movies) before I had to nope out as one of the presenters gushed over the attractiveness of the killer of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO.

    Up until then I had genuinely thought people were only willing to express such beliefs anonymously via social media.

    V disappointing.

  • Not bad

    Prefer the older episodes, less preachy. Not as knowledgeable about the genre as shows like Exploding Heads, 22 Shots of Moodz and Horror and Jay of the Dead’s shows.

  • Grateful for this unusual horror pod!

    I've been listening to the Faculty of Horror for a few years and absolutely love them. I listen to several podcasts on horror films, that each scratch a different itch. I love the feminism, the academia, the analytical dives, but also the fun of this pod. I don't always agree with every single take that the hosts have, but I always enjoy hearing them, and find that this show always gets me to do some extra thinking!
