  • Couple of Ch0des

    Could do without the obnoxious accents and 15 minutes of talking like Chucky because Edwardistruth is laughing like a drunk lady at a bar. But when is Edwardistruth NOT laughing. Only when he is talking about “screening a film.” Pretentious dweeb.

  • 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.

You guys both offer different but valid perspectives. Zack is normally tapped into the logical side of things, and Eddie is on the emotional. The dichotomy is perfect and if you’re looking for a horror podcast. You really c... more
