  • Up to my elbows in Paige & Todd

    I found RtP after listening to Paige & Todd on HV. Turns out I can enjoy listening to them trash any film - not just Horror. I could listen to these two trash talk every movie ever. Keep them coming please! X

  • Very likable but…

    I enjoy this podcast VERY much. The recaps of the movies are downright fun and humorous. What I find odd is that Paige makes sweeping declarations and comments about what is right or wrong in the social construct. As it exists today. No strong foundation. Just what Paige thinks.

  • How Could You Not Love Them?

    I listen to their horror podcast and their chemistry follows here. Todd & Paige play off of one another very well. It’s always a good time between friends. I just listened to you guys shart all over High School Musical (a film I grew up loving) and I knew I had to solidify my love for your show 😂 whether I agree or disagree with your takes, I still enjoy hearing what you have to say. Keep em coming.
