I recently came across this podcast and it is slowly becoming my favourite thanks to the banter between the two hosts. Most film podcasts take themselves way too seriously but these guys clearly know their stuff but still manage to be funny and clearly have a sense of humour. Highly recommend. Whenever I go to the cinema now, I come straight to this podcast after to see if they have done a review!
HHT leaves me smiling from ear-to-ear every time I listen. Matt and Tim have an incredible connection that brings such joy and fun to the podcast. It’s a breath of fresh air…you can see their hustle and commitment in every single episode. What a treat for horror fans to straddle movie reviews with interviews of both modern artists and people from 80s slashers. I can’t recommend listening to HHT enough!!!
I really want to like this podcast more but the hosts continuously talk over each other and finish each other’s sentences and it’s all just a bit frustrating. I like how enthusiastic both hosts are about the subject matter, but it would make for easier, less manic listening if they were just a bit more restrained in terms of letting each other finish their thoughts.
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while and I LOVE it. As a huge horror fan, I’m always having fun with Matt and Tim while listening. Some of the references they come up with blow my mind. True experts in the field. Keep bringing the goodness!!!
Like the show. Wish Tim would stop interrupting constantly. Matt is the true star here.
