I look forward to every episode of this show dropping in my feed. Michael and Callum do such a gorgeous job of revisiting these classic films in a way that is funny, interesting, and very, very queer. I even love listening to them talk about films I’ve never (and might never) see!

Australia6 months ago - Dusting off the VCR
Callum and Michael’s catalog of reviews reads like my childhood VHS collection. They don’t make fantasy movies like they did in the 80s and 90s anymore, and these two are honing in on the dreamy, ethereal, ooky spooky vibes we all got while sitting inches away from our TV sets. They hit the Nightmare Nail right on the head.
Apple Podcasts5LeaptonzeroUnited States6 months ago - My favourite Fantasy Podcast
Been getting nothing but hit after hit of recommendations based off eps of ‘Movies That Made Us Gay’ and ‘The Lady Killers’.
This by far my favourite of the 6 I’ve tried out: fantastic to hear fellow Scottish queer folks talk about Nightbreed and Conan The Barbarian

United Kingdoma year ago - A Deep Dive of Fun
Had a blast going down memory lane with this pod. I mean they had me thinking about movies I haven’t thought of in years. For all you fellow Gen X or Xennials out there this is definitely a must listen. Can’t wait to see what they do next. Great chemistry, fun guests (looking at you Doom Generation) and amazing topics. - Danielle
