I tune into every single episode of this show and am a patreon member as well. Mike and the gang have excellent takes and facts on every horror franchise you know and love and even some you don’t. Mike if you’re reading this, I’m still waiting for that Hellraiser coverage!
I really loved The Summer of George. I am a zombie movie fan so this was right up my alley. Thank you for including the remakes. I also loved your ranking episode of the best movies of the past century. I’ve been a fan of the show for about 5 years now and it has never been better than it is right now. Keep up the great work, everyone!
I love how introspective you guys are about movies I love!!! Found you looking for Friday the 13th franchise talk. Followed immediately. 2 1/2 hours on Part 5 talk was just incredible.

Mike and team do a consistently wonderful job covering these franchises. Always worth a listen!
