  • Two cool dudes

    The Cherry Picker pod is my favorite podcast. I’ve been listening to it since day one and have watched Zack Cherry on YouTube before the channel was created. The two hosts, Zack and Eddie, are fun to listen to whether it’s on topic of the film or if it’s a tangent they often go on. The show is very informative and funny. As a horror nerd, I recommend this pod to everyone I know who’d be interested.

The dichotomy is perfect and if you’re looking for a horror podcast. You really c... more

  • So happy to join your community!

    Hello Zack and Eddie! I stumbled upon your podcast back in the fall, and have enjoyed following along as you engage in friendly banter about your favorite horror movies. I have especially enjoyed your conversations on the Scream, Friday the 13th, and Halloween franchises. I have even found myself falling asleep at night to some of my favorite “hammock” episodes. I am SO looking forward to the day when you cover Halloween 4 and 5, as they are two of my favorite (dare I say at the top of my franc... more
