  • So fun and entertaining!

    I LOVE the 3rd season where they make a short horror film! I appreciate that they’re not huge horror fans because they truly come at it like a newbie and try to understand what makes a good horror movie. The finished product is pretty good as well! I wouldn’t second guess seeing it at film festivals. The hosts are also very entertaining and funny, poking fun while also respecting the genre and taking the task seriously.

  • Great show to binge

    I always enjoy the voyage that creativity takes and have listened to all of their “Let’s make a …” podcasts. These creators obviously have a great chemistry that allows mistakes and ideas to come through to the finished product. I especially liked being able to watch the final version of their story - very spooky! Awesome job once again! I am really looking forward to the next iteration? Hopefully soon…
