Great podcast spoilt by adds coming on unannounced half way through a sentence, several times in every ep.
I bought all three books and absolutely love them but this is just dull… there’s nothing really to it and it’s full of padding. The exact opposite of the books, actually.
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.👍👍

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.
