Ruined is my comfort pod. I’ve long loved to read the synopsis of horror movies because I am too scared to watch many of them. Halle and Alison make ruining horror movies 1000x more fun. It’s the pod I come back to over and over now for years.
I am currently reading night shift omg!!!!
Love this pod! Highly recommend!
I especially love the silly films, like ‘eight legged freaks’ where we learn why 0SHA has rules for handling toxic waste.
I also loved THEM! Demonstrating that nuclear testing helps ants achieve their full potential.
I recommend all the Final Destinations, Fogs and most Bogs!
Would love to here more, more, more 1950’s silly horror and sci-fi.
Keep it spooky, and keep it silly just as often!
Love you both!
I just want to listen to scary movie recaps. I don’t care about your thoughts on politics. Why not just let people escape the world for a bit?
Very fun recap pod! Love when they do 90s and classics!

The format centers on accessible explanations for scaredy-cants while still delivering fresh takes that appeal to hardcore genre fans. A standout trait is the hosts' strong chemistry and their ability to mix genuine film insight with humorous self-deprecation, making the show welcoming to both newcomers and longtime listeners.
