  • 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.

  • Fun and entertaining, love Peach's journey from horror averse to horror enjoyer while also not really being able to watch horror movies. Good way to get an idea of a horror movie plot without spoiling every twist and turn. Enjoyable regardless of having seen the horror movie in question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
304. AMA with Peach & Shag
Q: Have you ever had a real life moment that felt like the beginning of a horror movie?
They share a variety of real-life moments that felt uncanny or tense, illustrating how fear and danger can bleed into everyday life and shape their storytelling approach.
279. Final Destination Bloodlines feat. Callan Boys
Q: What would your first move be if you found out that death was coming for you?
You'd have to hermit it. You'd have to just come in to essentially a lead box.
221. Friday the 13th Part 2
Q: What do you think makes a hit film in the context of sequels like Friday the 13th?
Peach and Shag discuss how the film series is often a compromise in execution, dealing with expectations set by the first film while also being a product of its time.
