  • Just the show I needed

    I found you on TikTok discussing 2 of my favorite horror films. The Descent and An Above So Below. I’m listening to the full podcast now, not even halfway through and I know Im going back to listen to all of these.

    I really appreciate your love for the films, the art and the process. Many podcasts just focus on one aspect. I also love that listening to you can fill half my workday😅 Well done!

  • Vile people

    This is word for word the cohost post about Charlie Kirk.

    “Charlie Kirk, a right wing political 'activist' was shot in the neck today and died. The Internet screams: "graphic," "unwatchable."

    Children carrying other children in bloodied backpacks.

    Bodies torn apart in buildings, shreds hanging.

    Brains on the floor.

    Burns too horrific to imagine.

    Horror upon Horror.

    And this is what's "too graphic"?

  • Meandering and tiring

    The talking back and forth isn’t very crisp they meander talk a lot about themselves talk over each others. Lots of laughing at their own jokes and laughing and laughing but you won’t be laughing. Just talk about Prince of Darkness. There’s ten minutes of content and then tons of filler.
