  • Thanks boys!

    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!

  • 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

  • Best Horror Movie Show in English IMO

    I’m a Brave Boi, but I love listening to them to revisit some movies, learn about new ones I hadn’t heard of, or even learning that an upcoming movie wasn’t as bad as what the trailer looked like to me.

    Highly recommend the other Sanspants shows as well

They acted foolishly by not following proper Ouija board rules or seeking thorough guidance before attempting the board.

It made me enjoy the experience of watching it more, checking myself throughout the film to see if this is my favorite thing that he's made.
The Long Walk
Q: Did our characters act wisely or foolishly?
It's arguably one of the, it's actually a different ending to the book, illustrating the folly of their choices.
