  • Grossly underrated

    This really is a great listen. I came for the excellent plot synopsis, behind the scenes, and Easter eggs of the filthiest films out there. I stayed for the humorous hosts, insane movie knowledge, and Brad’s story time.

  • Cool show

    Brad Hanson knows certain movies like no one else and his insights are interesting and often hilarious - the films they review on this show don’t interest me but if you’re a gore hound/torture porn enthusiast this is the show. Personally I’ll wait to hear him on EOH.

    But seriously it’s a fun podcast with great chemistry between the two hosts

Warning- may cause you to feel comfortable sharing uncomfortable things with your loved ones. Eg- admitting to your other half that, not only would you eat their amputated leg in a life or death cannibal situation but that you’d use their femur as a dil... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

24. Inside (2007)
Q: Why did you pick this film?
Because I am a massive fan of New French Extremity, and this is one of the films that is just so fucked up, but in like a really believable way.
TERRIFIER-CON 2025: Killing as an ART-Form
Q: What do you think of the gender politics of Terrifier?
There's a critique about its treatment of women, but we should consider if traditional horror reflects audience dynamics.
TERRIFIER-CON 2025: Killing as an ART-Form
Q: Do you reckon he's iconic because of the clown?
Yes, Art being a clown taps into people's fear of clowns, which adds to his appeal.
TERRIFIER-CON 2025: Killing as an ART-Form
Q: Where does art sit in the pantheon of classic slasher killers?
Art the Clown is considered better because he lacks emotional backstory, killing simply for pleasure.
BONUS! Interview with Corin Hardy, director of Whistle
Q: What fascinates you about Aztec and Mayan culture?
He has been intrigued by the undiscovered elements of the culture, especially the mythical aspects, leading to a desire to create a movie inspired by those stories.
