- Top cut horror crit
This show is extremely witty and insightful. I think they do justice to the best part of the horror experience and with a real love for the marvellous. It’s great that they seem to revel in the obscure, underground stuff in addition to the bigger names, giving both equally serious attention and with a deep knowledge of the genre to back it up.

Best place to come get reviews on horror games
Apple Podcasts5BurdiyUnited States2 years ago I fundamentally disagree with the actors part. I think that is the very definition of a "you problem". Famous actors are issue for a small percentage of the viewers, but they are very often high quality performances. In which case the famous actor problem goes away with time. Given few years and most people won't know the actor so well. Although unfortunately games especially are rather tied in the time they were released due to the hardware and software.
