Hey Ladies, love your podcast. Can you do episodes on Piranha (1978) and Titane. Ya’ll make me laugh, especially your practical takes and quips on the impractical, twisted and outrageous character behavior, action, plots, etc. Fun relaxing podcast for horror film lovers.
I’ve listened to them for years!
I couldn’t get enough, I even joined the Patreon! They are a heavy part of my podcast rotation, and I even love binging old episodes.
This quickly has become my favorite podcast. I’ve listened through the back catalog and joined the patreon. Their rapport is great, and the show is so funny! I love the running jokes.
I like listening to this as I clean and nap sometimes, and the hosts are funny and I love the anecdotes and banter. However it really bothers me that there's no bumper/jingle/ announcement of ads before they just suddenly transition, and it kinda tanks my enjoyment and takes me out of the moment. And it's always an ad for Quince for some reason.
Allison and Halle are very funny and have great chemistry. It’s obvious they have been friends for awhile. The descriptions of the movie and the hilarious reactions to them makes this pod work consistently. I just started listening and I’ve already burned through a multitude of episodes.

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
