  • Be Afraidy, Be Very Afraidy!

    This has quickly become one of my favorite horror movie podcasts. I really enjoy how passionate host Katie Hettenbach is about movies, and the guests she brings on are always a lot of fun.

    The conversations can jump around quite a bit, which gives the podcast a very casual and natural feel. They do discuss spoilers, though, so I’d recommend watching the movie first if you want to go in spoiler-free.

    There are a lot of horror movie podcasts out there, and one thing I really like about this one is... more

  • OBSESSED with this podcast!

    Katie and her guests consistently deliver humorous horror filled content week after week. I absolutely love the rabbit holes they go down and the pure variety of films she covers! The best part is you can clearly tell Katie is a natural comic and I love how she marries that with her love and knowledge of the horror genre. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

205: Obsession w/Jimmy Berry
Q: If you had to wish for anything on the One Wish Willow, what would you pick and choose your word carefully?
Berry would define what happiness means to him and wish to have that, rather than asking for money, a house, or career success.
205: Obsession w/Jimmy Berry
Q: What was the first thing you remember that scared you?
Berry remembers having a nightmare about one of his sisters' Furbies watching him, and being unnerved by animatronics and a menacing Easter Bunny mascot.

Q: So if you were on a deserted island, which you wouldn't be, but you're welcome, what three things would you have on an island if you had to stay?
Friedman would bring her Kindle and a wearable blanket with pockets and a hood. Hettenbach would bring an iPad, a solar-powered charger, and a friend.
204: Send Help w/ Avra Friedman
Q: If you had to describe this movie to someone who has never seen it before, how would you describe it?
Friedman describes an overworked office employee and her boss surviving a plane crash and becoming stranded together on an island, where her survival skills and their conflict determine what happens next.

Q: What makes the film's atmosphere so effective?
The hosts highlight the use of real locations, tight lens work, practical effects, and minimal but powerful violence that grounds the story in realism rather than stylized shock.
