  • Super original….

    Another self deprecating “I’m a white male so I’m a terrible person”. The lack of intelligence is strong here. One episode was enough to say this is a no go!

  • Another podcast rehashing full movie plots instead of offering actual reviews

    ANOTHER podcast that basically spends time rehashing the entire plot of the main movie being discussed. I can’t even begin to fathom how so many people end up rating these podcasts as 5-star listening experiences. The hosts are okay, fairly amusing, but I just wish they weren’t adding to the massive pile of “movie regurgitation” podcasts that could already outnumber the stars in our universe.

Interviews After Dark with Oliver Robins and Sunset Scares
Q: How did you come up with the idea for the book?
The idea came from thinking about all the monsters we were scared of as children and what happens to them when they are no longer scary.
Interviews After Dark with Oliver Robins and Sunset Scares
Q: What inspired you to come up with some of these characters?
I always like a good challenge; these characters are part of the zeitgeist of horror right now, and I thought, why don't we make them for children at the same time, for horror fans?
Alien: Earth (2025) Review
Q: Did you read the Dark Horse Comics back in the day, back in the 90s, the Aliens comics? Did they make their way over across the sea over to where you were?
Fredrik mentioned that although he encountered some comic book fans in Sweden, he didn't see Predator alien comics in stores until after the internet started.
Alien: Earth (2025) Review
Q: What did you think about Wendy being a human in a cyborg body? And then what did you think about her being able to communicate with the Xenomorph?
Fredrik found the concept of a cyborg communicating with Xenomorphs to be unique and a game changer but needed time to fully accept it.

My favorite is the Green Arrow because he came with a bow and arrows that fit in the back of his pack, making it authentic and playable.
