  • Highly recommend to horror fans

    This is exactly what I was looking for when I was trying to find a podcast for my long drives. I am a huge horror movie fan. I love hearing all of their thoughts on the films even if I don’t agree with them every time. I particularly love when they go over behind the scenes fun facts about the making of the movies. I love how in depth they go about each movie. Keep up the good work guys, you make my drives so much more entertaining now!

  • Too much laughter

    It’s a fine show if you want to literally be led through the entire plot of a movie. Way too much laughter from the hosts at their own jokes it really hurts the show

  • Super fun

    I love “watching” these movies through you since I haven’t seen and probably won’t see most of them! I love your dynamic, Reneé’s laugh is contagious. The Tremors episode is probably my favorite - that movie did horrify me as a kid in a hotel room one night with my grandparents but it’s become a favorite 🤣

    This podcast is amazing!! As someone who is too afraid to watch scary movies but wants to know what happens in them, these guys do exactly that. The beat by beat breakdown makes me feel as if I have actually watched them, and now that I know what happens, there are several movies I have added to my list to watch as I feel like I could handle them. Plus, they do so much research and listening to this podcast is like watching a movie with several different commentaries on. I could not recommend mo... more

  • The misogyny is off the charts with this one. They hate women, probably maga. And the husband really isn't good, he just slowly repeats why the other 2 say.
