- Women Love Horror Too
One thing that really frustrates me about this podcast is that when you are talking about horror you seem to mainly only have men talking about it. Women make up a HUGE percentage of horror fans and if you are going to do an episode covering final girls, it’s a problem to not have a woman on to talk about that. Surely someone within that network likes horror.

Omg please finally replace Amanda. She’s a petulant child who will not allow herself to be interrupted but will talk over other people left and right.
How many times can she say “Listen”?!
I don’t understand how she’s so bitter and hateful when she has obviously been granted a favor to have this job.
Apple Podcasts2NoPosWowwwUnited Statesa month ago - Good pod, but…
Huge movie fan. Love the pod and your commentary and conversation in general, but please stop talking about how old you are and that you’re on the back nine! You’re in your early 40’s ffs! Enjoy your youth 🤗. Signed, 63 year old physically, 33 mentally 😉.
Apple Podcasts4MymymymysharonaUnited Statesa month ago - Meh
Don’t get me wrong, they have a decent show. But I feel like this show is almost unlistenable without Chris Ryan, who isn’t even a host. And them being overly critical about the Avengers Doomsday was ridiculous
Apple Podcasts3Jude ChandlerUnited Statesa month ago - Stop yelling
Any chance of not talking over top of each other. You all have good things to say. Take turns.
Amanda is so self indulgent
