4.6 out of 5 stars from 276 ratings
  • Love these guys

    I don’t always agree with their ratings and they don’t always agree with each other but I always appreciate their thoughts. And they’re typically the first pod in my feed with reviews of new releases.

  • The Fun Movie Podcast

    I'm sorry Griffey but you're straight up jealous of Curry Barker. I totally understand but hating on the content doesn't make your stories sound any more interesting.

  • Great if they can restrain themselves

    Just don’t talk politics. You guys sound ridiculous. No one wants to listen to a movie podcast and have someone integrate their useless political opinions into it.

  • Don’t bother, political once again.

    Why can’t people just review movies without making everything political?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Psychological Horror Movie Draft
Q: What do you think about In the Mouth of Madness?
Brodie says it is one of John Carpenter's greatest films and praises how its journey with Sam Neill's character blurs reality and fiction. He finds the ending open to interpretation, leaving viewers to decide what is happening.
Psychological Horror Movie Draft
Q: Why is psychological horror the category you wanted to draft, and what do you think the parameters are for what qualifies as a psychological horror?
Brodie says it is his favorite horror subgenre because its characters and layered stories stay with him, invite him to examine their motives, and sometimes make him question his own morals. He favors films that place viewers inside a character's mind and leave reality uncertain.
Killer Tomatoes Co-Creator Costa Dillon
Q: What was off-limits creatively when developing the new entry?
They kept the film in the PG range and focused on family-friendly humor, avoiding scatological or insulting content while still delivering Easter eggs and self-referential jokes that fans could enjoy on multiple levels.
Felissa Rose and Dave Sheridan at Days of the Dead - Indianapolis
Q: Have you ever thought about getting on the other side of the camera, not just as a producer but as a director?
Dave considers directing, mentioning Aunt Martha as a potential prequel project and discussing Sleepaway Camp as a possible later iteration, signaling a shift toward pursuing directorial ambitions.
Felissa Rose and Dave Sheridan at Days of the Dead - Indianapolis
Q: What are you guys working on? Any projects in the works right now?
