These guys have been at it for a long time, and it shows, they cover everything we all love and remember, and then some great things we’d all forgotten about and enjoy remembering all over. A staple for me now, with a great back catalog and excellent production value.
Because I actually don’t know a great deal about horror genre, but I do want to learn, I find myself learning quite a bit from Podcasting after dark. Hosts are easy to listen to. Finding movies to watch (or avoid) is a great plus!
Cory & Zak are enjoyable to listen to. They exude excitement, knowledge and passion for the movies they review. Super fun with some great guests!
The hosts go all out with awesome interviews and quality content. This is the best retro movie podcast out there.
Corey is cute and funny but Zak can be misogynistic af about female characters and actresses like get a grip bro. A very in depth podcast though, still worth a listen
