This week on the show, we're continuing our time with Mike Flanagan's Carrie as we chat about episode 4, "Dramatic Arts." Looks like it's time to be sad and angry as things just keep getting worse for Carrie and Chris.

I typically don't care about "two men talking to each other" types of podcasts but I just entered the Flanagan-verse (via Carrie, Hill House and now Midnight Mass) and have been listening to this pod non-stop and it has really enhanced my viewing experience. I so appreciate how much thought is put into every episode, both the notes on production technicality and analysis of the stories and characters. Especially as someone who wasn't really raised Catholic (went to Sunday school a bit, did first... more
Wonderful examination of Flanagan's work. Covers not only all of Flanagan's catalog, but the original literary works that his adaptations are based on. Thoughtful and insightful enough to attract Flanagan himself, as well as several Flanagan collaborators, to sit down for interviews.
Scott and Matt have been my constant companions for years; they hooked me in with Kingslingers and I've since become a Patreon member and enjoyer of most things Doof. Their wise perspectives on not just literature but life are always a good listen, and hearing them shed that for childlike excitement over new Flanagan and King releases is a delight. Looking forward to their coverage of the so-far excellent Carrie revival, of the new Talisman novel, and someday, a Flanagan-helmed Dark Tower.
Been following these guys since the beginning of their Kingslingers podcast and had to follow them to Flanagan’s Wake. This show felt like such a natural progression for the guys cause Mike Flanagan is the Stephen King of visual media. The in-depth analysis of theme and character on this show is amazing as always and every Thursday is a treat for the ears. Smart, funny and never boring. Doesn’t get much better than this!
I’ve been listening to Scott and Matt for around 4 years now, so this review has been a long time coming.
I look forward to these conversations every Thursday, it’s one of the highlights of my week. The analysis of Flanagan’s work, as well as all of the works his shows and movies are based on, is top tier. They are thoughtful and nuanced in their approach, with a dash of humor throughout. The Reddit and Patreon communities that they’ve cultivated are active and welcoming.

Two hosts deliver in-depth, spoiler-friendly dissections of Mike Flanagan's body of work, tracing connections between source material (notably Stephen King) and on-screen adaptations. The show blends detailed analysis of production choices, storytelling devices, and thematic throughlines with personality-driven banter, making it a go-to for fans who crave behind-the-scenes context and a passionate, nerdy conversation about horror cinema and TV.
