  • Found them from the Aliens franchise reviews

    Never really listened to this type of analysis on a film review podcast, let alone horror. Their episode for Alien: Covenant had my attention, so I downloaded the rest of the franchise, and now I’m hooked and subscribed!

  • Horror has never been my thing…

    These three have made me a believer. Jeremy, Emily, and Ben bring it every week! Between excellent guests, great selections, monthly themes, and everything else under the sun, I’ve never looked at horror under so many progressive lenses thanks to them. This podcast is your one-stop shop for this genre from spoopy to existentially terrifying!

From Dusk Till Dawn or Evil Dead 2 are great recommendations due to their similar themes and over-the-top horror elements.
