  • You were on TV once?

    Imagine having such a wide platform and access to these guests and fumbling it so hard. The host is an arrogant nobody who doesn’t have a single original thought with terrible audio quality. Pass.

  • Great show & great host

    Great show. Aaron is informed and likable, and manages to have friendly conversations with some amazing guests across a range of topics — and interjects without making it about him.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Eli Roth: Talking Ice Cream Man Horror
Q: Why launch The Horror Section with this particular film, and what did you want to signal to audiences?
Roth describes Ice Cream Man as a bold statement—an unrated, boundary-pushing project that aligns with his desire to create movies that feel like a dangerous, old-school horror experience released in theaters.
Eli Roth: Talking Ice Cream Man Horror
Q: How did you approach working with child actors on such graphic material?
He explains that he cast strong, naturalistic performers and treated them as adults, planning tight shoots with breaks for the kids and ensuring parents could monitor safety and comfort, which helped maintain authenticity without compromising safety.
Eli Roth: Talking Ice Cream Man Horror
Q: What inspired the tone and look of Ice Cream Man, given its mix of kid-friendly visuals and adult horror?
Roth says he wanted the film to feel like a modern take on 80s Amblin films—bright colors and a “coming of age” vibe—while subverting it with brutal, shocking twists to create a balance between nostalgia and fear.
Ghost Hunting Equipment Explained w/ Lauren Haunts
Q: How do you approach using temperature devices in investigations?
She advocates using temperature tools to rule out normal causes, focusing on sustained, localized changes rather than transient fluctuations, and combining ambient and focused readings for better context.
Ghost Hunting Equipment Explained w/ Lauren Haunts
Q: What was your origin story into the strange and the unusual?
