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).

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.

5 HUGE Slashes for these charming, lovely, wonderful pod people. If you’re someone who left them a poor review, then…. I wish you visited by Art the Clown. Thank you, Hack or Slashers!

I listened to 3 episodes and I’m out - these people just don’t have the knowledge to put movies in context - if it was just fun and chatty it might be ok but they’re attempting to have deep discussions and they constantly miss major references and content - they need to add a more seasoned viewer to the group and all of them need to do more viewing and some reading. Very cringe.
