  • Too much waffle.

    Wanted this to be a decent podcast diving into horror films. But unfortunately it’s just a indulgent waffle fest. Don’t really care about what you guys have been up to. Here to find about films. Another self indulgent waffle fest.

  • A really great horror movie review podcast that doesn't take itself too seriously. Reminds me a lot of The Weekly Planet, which is a huge compliment. I just recently discovered this pod and I'm finding myself pouring through the back catalog. A+

Q: Why don't you start by telling me what inspired this film, and what drew you to the project?
Gille explains that the idea grew from a desire to test their creative limits with a feature that plays to their strengths: VFX-heavy visuals, a strong cabin setting, and a humor that can coexist with horror. The concept evolved from short-form collaboration into a feature that leans into their shared sensibilities and love of genre cinema.
