  • The Ladies Really Know Their Films

    The ladies really know their films backwards and forwards and constantly reference other films, including old films from the 40s.

    Unfortunately I don’t know my films, so I was lost a lot of the time. I’d prefer to have given the podcast 2.5 personally because I’m an ignoramus, but I think this a 5 star podcast for anyone who’s more knowledgeable about films than I am.

  • Awesome

    Show is great, as usual. In my opinion the volume is low as usual. Personal problem maybe but, I’m not in an office when I’m listening and I have to put both earbuds in to hear and it . It would be coo if the volume was up a notch.

  • 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!

    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."

    "unimaginable terror"

    For two years Gaza has lived through horrors that no words can hold

    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"?
