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 .
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.

Discovered via American hysteria - I really enjoy their dynamic, so naturally funny and genuine. Good interesting topics but would listen to them talking about anything.
I can’t tell you how comforting and absolutely delightful it is to tune in to every episode of GTU. I feel so cozy & excited when I hear your voices. All of life’s real horrors fade quickly as I buckle in for the witty banter & catch myself wishing for more of my favorite content! Thank you for being the best part of my week!
