I love this podcast. I constantly learn something whether it’s a deep dive from Jon or a movie recap. I feel like this podcast makes me smarter and appreciate horror even more.
Apple Podcasts5LjgnsUnited States2 months ago - I miss Freddie
JLB spends too much time comparing the movie to other movies and name dropping directors of other movies. He lost me with his vague discussion of Weapons.
Apple Podcasts4KC IdahoUnited States2 months ago - Thank you!
I made it! Thank you so much, what a thrill! I would love an episode on Double Double Toil and Trouble! And Munchie Strikes back- I thought that was a fever dream I had. What a blast from the past! Also Goosebumps was elite- the Haunted Mask was terrifying. Also, when I submitted this, I had no idea you would be doing the Halloween Tree, I love the accidental relevance. I love this podcast!
