  • Scary good.

    Goofy. Cerebral. Gently thought provoking. Endearing. Wildly entertaining. If you don’t love Peach and Shag, get your head checked.

  • Entertaining, insightful banter about spooky films

    I love these guys. The prospect of listening to a podcast with two Australian white guys talking about art was something I would usually avoid but these two are insightful, sensitive, flawed dudes who do the work to examine culture, and their privilege and commit to do better.

    Peach’s commentary on cannibalism in movies is perfection and something I reference more than I thought I would. Highly recommend.
