    I don’t write reviews. But I am so grateful to these guys I must! I listen to their podcast every night and replay in the morning on my way to work. Found them from TSDW. Gave a listen and am hooked. I laugh and appreciate their authenticity. They are good guys. I wonder at how empathetic they are with life in the states They value life and connections. They bring moments of joy to my life!

  • As a suburban white boy who grew up in Geelong reading Source magazine, wearing fubu, and seeing 9/11 happen when I was thirteen this podcast resonates with me like no other. Every tangent, quip, and analogy is pure nostalgia for me. The fact that they are also reviewing horror films is a happy bonus for me. Very funny, very wholesome (mostly), and always heartfelt. Love these boys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

314. Obsession feat. Ruby Miles
Q: How does Ruby view the film's portrayal of the incel archetype and manipulation?
Ruby sees it as a sharp portrayal of the dangerous quiet menace of the 'nice guy' trope, showing how manipulation and coercion can masquerade as romance until the true predatory nature is exposed.
314. Obsession feat. Ruby Miles
Q: What is Obsession really about beyond the surface plot?
It's a meditation on entitlement, control in relationships, and how a wish-based premise can illuminate deeper social dynamics, particularly around gender and power.
309. Prince of Darkness feat. Dr Kelly Zimmerman
Q: Peach, are you on board with this reinterpretation of the film's mythology where Jesus is portrayed as an alien who warned humanity?
I found the fusion of Catholic imagery with sci-fi elements like aliens and tachyons to be audacious and compelling, even if it felt messy at times; it sparked a lot of interesting debate about what the story is really about.
304. AMA with Peach & Shag
Q: Which horror movie villain would you have the best chance of defeating in hand-to-hand combat?
They pick Chucky and discuss strategies to neutralize the threat using everyday household items, highlighting their practical, humorous take on horror combat.
