  • Legit floored

    Every time I come to visit the Talking Horror Pod I learn so much. Not only are Nikisha and Bryan such well versed horror fans and thoughtful reviewers, but Jamie with the mental health perspective of a therapist puts this pod above the rest. Just one of these three hosting a podcast about horror movies would be a treat but with their powers combined they are CAPTAIN PLANET- er I mean they’re AWESOME! Seriously one of the most unique movie review shows out there. Highly recommend.

  • Amazing reviews

    I absolutely love this podcast, it’s part of my travel to and from work listening. I love that it’s not just the normal hype films that are covered it’s all aspects of horror. With opinions that aren’t like the ones you get on some film review channels, they are honest fair and if needed very critical about the content of the film. It’s a very fun and friendly podcast that gives warnings at the start for the content just in case it may trigger individuals.

    Thank you for all the hard work on... more
