I love the show and gasped when I saw this week’s episode title - the watcher in the woods. Me and my friend picked it out at the local video rental when we were 7 years old. It was a DISNEY movie FFS! This movie did not play and needless to say we were traumatized. I was scared of mirrors for years. Thank you for giving this movie the ruined treatment it deserves. I love listening every week!
This is a fantastic podcast with 2 smart, hilarious, genuinely likable hosts. Just beware that the highest level Patreon does NOT in fact give you access to all the shows ( as is stated on their Patreon membership site)
Lovely concept, lovely show, lovely hosts who care about being on the right side of history. I couldn’t ask for more. Love this show and the hosts.
I sought out this podcast because I loved Halle so much on Lovett or leave it’s weekday show. So I love Halle. But please, can’t handle the continual misuse of the “drowned” over the years. It’s “he tried to drown Ben”, not “he tried to drowned Ben.” Every time there is a drowning, Halle turns it into a drowneding. Please please stop with this. I can’t believe no one has told you after all these years.
In the style of Spooko and TS;DW - this is a horror movie recap podcast where somebody who enjoys horror movies describes horror movies to somebody who finds them too scary for various reasons. The host are left-leaning, and opinions of theirs occasionally get shared; some people find that to be a turn off.… But often horror movies reflect fears of the day, including political fears, and it’s often relevant… plus it’s their show so they can do what they want and one could listen or not - if you... more

A weekly horror film podcast driven by two witty hosts who banter as they dissect a different scary movie each episode. One host brings deep love for the genre and sharp analysis, while the other, a self-described scaredy-cat, asks the questions that unlock twists, character dynamics, and thematic undercurrents for a broad audience. Episodes blend spoiler-filled breakdown with humor, personal anecdotes, and pop-culture riffs, making complex themes approachable and entertaining. Notable strengths include inclusive discussions of LGBTQ+ perspectives, a knack for weaving real-world context and industry insights into movie talk, and occasional live-show promos that broaden the show's appeal. The format works well for horror fans and casual list... more
