Love this podcast. The way they put a logical spin on "conspiracy theories" is refreshing. Also if I were casting a movie Kristen would be played by chef Alex Guarnaschelli.
Podcast Addict55 days agoJustin13- New Comfort Show!
Love listening to these two talk about anything! The Dooktober (Duketober?) drew me in as I grew up with Scooby-Doo and Zombie Island was an absolute fave growing up!! I’ve stayed for the hilarious banter and interesting movie takes. Love the haunted state, urban legend, and cryptid episodes as well!!!

Hands down my favorite podcast and Patreon! Kristen and Will find fantastic variety of spooky, strange and unusual topics. Their views are sober and witty, and the episodes leave me curious and interested - not a bit sad like other paranormal shows (which I also enjoy).
I absolutely LOVE their sense of humor! There were many times when while listening and driving, I would laugh so hard I had to pull over :D
Thank you Kristen and Will - It is clear that you enjoy what you do, which makes you ... more
Apple Podcasts5Eliza-GingerMoonUnited States23 days ago - distroman has wack taste in movies
jaws just doesn't hold up much, wizard of oz mid.. mummy is corny but also not comedic enough to be a good corny. distroman or whatever the name is, is a gene flick fan .
Apple Podcasts5proceduralmagicianUnited States2 months ago - Bad movie takes
I’m 6 years behind, so maybe things have changed, but they have some really bad takes on movies. Will claiming that Wes Craven’s New Nightmare is terrible? Not liking Brendan Fraser’s Mummy or the Wizard of Oz? Come on. Also, Zak Bagans probably hasn’t said his own name as much as they have on this podcast.
