Hack or Slash - A Horror Movie Review Podcast
Hack or SlashEach week a panel of horror fans discuss horror movies past and present. We believe horror is for everyone, regardless of how familiar you are with the genre, or which flavor of fear you fancy most. We dissect new releases, compare originals to reboots, and tell you whether or not the movies are a hack (a waste of time) or a slash (totally killer - pun intended).

- Slash
I love the subject matter of this show. I I enjoy all of the different takes from the various hosts and how even when there is a negative opinion presented it’s still fun and not hateful.
I love going to see a movie and then the next morning immediately listening to the episode on that movie. It inspires me to be more vocal about my own opinions about cinema and encourage my friends to join discussions as well.

I love the subject matter of this show. I liked most their takes and it’s always nice to have different voices and opinions. I will have to stop listening for a while because of the over use of the word “right?” After every sentence as a linguistic tactic to keep people’s attention and promote aggreement, after a certain point it’s all I could hear episode after episode. I’d think in a show that’s planned and edited this well, we’d they’d some occasional discussion about things like that. It mig... more
