- Not entirely certain who this is for
They say at the start of each episode that ‘we watch the movie so that you don’t have to’, but then they never actually make any attempt to explain anything about it beyond a sentence long statement of the premise at the start, like they’re assuming the listener will have already seen it.

I’m a certified brave boy, but I can’t get any of the people in my life to enjoy horror with me. Hearing the boys discuss their experiences with the films in such depth and with such great appreciation for the creative choices present in the genre makes me so happy. Also Sean once liked a Letterboxd review of mine. Thanks mate!

Podcast Addict510 months agogov murder church- Cowardly Custard
I love this show so much. I have always been interested in horror but always been too scared to watch it because I am a coward. I love that I can get the horror story without being scared of it. Plus the boys are awesome, they have such a great understanding of film in general and listening to them break down not just the beats of a film but what makes the horror scary is amazing. I love hearing the talk of film that they do because I love film just as much. They are spectacular hosts and I love... more
