Awesome
The survival tips, from the more realistic to the more outlandish (and fun), the reviews, the tangents, the jokes, the outtakes… all make for great entertainment and a cool way to delve into horror movies.
Been listening and re-listening for years now, and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. Great combination of film criticism, survival tips, fantastic hosts, and Joe forgetting the name of 47 Metres Down.
