Way too political for a horror podcast. Pretty much everything new coming out has a political angle to these guys. I don’t think I could do a bigger eye roll when they compared the recent World Cup to the 1936 olympics. Been listening to them off and on since the hype up of Halloween 2018 coming out. Dan is the only one that comes off remotely genuine and not a caricature. The rest have so much hate/ignorance I can’t take what they say seriously.
I love this podcast - been listening for a few years. I usually don’t rate things but wanted to share my love since I think you guys do a great job and the research feels like for fans that love and appreciate dvd behind the scene features. I wish I could be best friends with Rachel - your breakdowns are so thorough and as a female horror fan myself I appreciate that lens. Don’t mind the other people taking time out of their day to call out with 1 stars and keep up the good work all!
I like the podcast, but Mack is such a crybaby. All he does is complain about everything, and it honestly ruins the show at times. Like damn, dude do you actually like anything?
I’m normally a fan but lost some respect in how they handled Scream 7 . It felt like they didn’t engage with movie honestly and injected politics and circumstances of the movie in their review rather than dealing with it on the merits. I’m especially disappointed in Justin - who said “the movie shouldn’t even exist” which is a disingenuous approach. And then folks like Caffrey had a problem with this but would praise Halloween Kills… They criticize certain parts of fandom in terms of nostalgia ... more
Pretty good for the most part. Justin is an over the top edgelord, but the group overall is pretty good.
Update: unsubscribing. Rachel is unbearable, and the more episodes I hear her on, the more I realize this podcast has completely fallen off. I’m done hoping it gets better.
