FROM THE VOID: Judges Halle and Alison give The Perfection 10, 10, 10s across the board, though to be fair, all cello concerts sound the same to them.

I wanted to hear a podcast about the original cat people movie instead they’re talking about how bad Fox News is and how men can be pregnant… There’s something wrong with these people. Quite honestly scarier than the movie itself!
These women are the absolute best. I am 50% each of them I love horror but some I cannot watch, so I enjoy both hearing the stories of the films I know and don’t know bc I can’t do it. I can’t stop catching up on old episodes!
I have recently discovered your podcast and love to hear after every movie trailer, Alison say it looks, “very scary” and for Halle to explain every absolutely horrifying act of depravity with, “ya hate to see it.” As a horror fan I only ruin the films I’ve already seen and love all the insight and humor y’all add. One movie suggestion: after Terrified hit so well, try When Evil Lurks by the same people, from 2023. I apologize if you have covered it already. Keep up the great stuff
I am in love with this podcast. Before having kids, I used to LOVE watching horror movies! Since then, I’ve found myself having trouble watching them and have become a bit of a wimp. I relate to Halle because of her love and respect for horror movies, and to Alison for her fear of watching them. It doesn’t hurt that both ladies are hilarious! This has become my comfort podcast and I am always ready for more!
Can’t wait for The Whale!

The format centers on accessible explanations for scaredy-cants while still delivering fresh takes that appeal to hardcore genre fans.
