  • Ghostwatch

    They were real news casters and daytime presenters! That’s why people freaked out! And they were really trusted household names here too. The BBC were really trying.

  • Past its prime

    This used to be my favorite podcast by far. I’ve been listening since the days of Jen and while I was sad to see her leave, nobody likes change, I grew to really love Paige and the chemistry she had with Mikey and Todd. Seeing Mikey leave was a devastating blow. I thought maybe Todd and Paige could survive on their own but unfortunately for me they could not. It’s just not the same without Mikey. He added an organic sense of humor that seems too forced now by Todd. Paige has also become too poli... more

  • Glory Holes

    I had to stop what I was doing IMMEDIATELY to confirm that in the UK - a Glory Hole is STILL a Glory Hole! I couldn’t BELIEVE they called this a Glory Hole 😆 It’s the Cupboard under the Stairs… What was going on in the Ghost Watch house GODDAMNIT. Love the Pod. Love for the currently disgustingly HOT UK! 🇬🇧

  • Once was great

    I was a die hard fan of this pod for so long, particularly, I was such a fan of Paige.

    Then something happened. Maybe it was her being paid to read scripts, maybe that was her perceived earned confidence that she’s now a paid professional and feels entitled to criticize Stanley Kubrick. Maybe it’s that I’m a chef and her claims about omelettes and cutlery are misinformed but presented as absolutes that are flatly mis-informed and incorrect yet presented with upmost confidence without other fac... more

  • Too much goofing off

    They make stupid no sense jokes and laugh way too much. I had to stop listening due to their annoying commentary.

417 - Friday the 13th (Revisited)
Q: What are your thoughts on the movie Friday the 13th?
It's in the top three of the franchise, more effective than many sequels despite its flaws.
399 - Alien 3
Q: Paige, did you enjoy Alien 3?
Not as much as the first two, but I see some creative attempts in it that I can appreciate. It has its moments but overall it felt rushed and not as thoughtful.

Q: Was this movie well-paced throughout?
No, the second half felt too slow with not much happening comparing to the first half.
363 - Vampire in Brooklyn

Great, it was during the pandemic and I had a podcast during that time.
