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!
This is a great podcast from the top to the bottom. A must listen across the board, especially for movie fans, horror fans, film fans, and you spooky season fans! Can not stress it enough, must listen! Content you can’t get enough of!
Hi Hi Hi Kellie with a IE here !! Love the Pod! Please tell us the next movie!! 😂
Such a fun and in depth horror movie podcast! I love all the knowledge Jon shares each week, highly recommend!
I have been a fan from the very beginning! Freddie brought me here but Jon Lee Brody keeps me here. There are other horror movie pods out there giving reviews, but TWPS gives a completely unique point of view behind the scenes how they’re made and why the many production choices are made. Keep it up guys! I look forward to it each week!
