Yes, Andy, we do indeed ‘know what you mean’, you don’t need to keep asking us.
Still basically fun, but running low on quality guests. Too many gobby unknowns who confuse being ‘loud’ with ‘funny’ and who actually believe in the nonsense behind all this.
Can’t wait for all the new episodes coming!
Something to look forward to every week.👍👍
I’ve just relistened to the Michael Sheen episode and was reminded about how rude and rushed the ending is. How can they run out of time? Just edit it surely? Poor Michael Sheen.
Plenty of new horrors to look up on the internet now!

A nostalgic, conversation-driven show centered on childhood fears, pop culture moments, and personal scar memories from guests across film, TV, music, and horror. Hosts reminisce with a steady, intimate banter, interleaving guest stories with era-specific media moments, behind-the-scenes production notes, and live-event teases. The format shines with a mix of high-profile and cult guests, deep-dives into iconic scar-inducing scenes, and a charm of fandom community that keeps discussions warm, humorous, and candid. A notable strength is the seamless blend of memory, analysis, and storytelling, plus ongoing production updates that foster audience loyalty and a sense of community for fans of retro media and horror-adjacent storytelling.
