  • Fun Energy. Just need a bit more consistency with the story telling.

    Big fan of this podcast and the personalities. The hosts are so generous with the amount of content they keep available to non-Patreon members. But I gave three stars because my main critique is the consistency of the recap quality. I don’t mind a tangent, a rabbit hole or the side bar commentary. I love the inclusion of the movie trivia. But it is disappointing to hear the out of sequence recaps (see Jurassic Park) or comments like “I’m gonna be honest. I don’t remember this part”. It is imposs... more

  • So happy I found them

    I’ve been looking for another horror movie podcast since I love Scream! But they are so erratic in posting and then I went on a Reddit rabbit hole to find something similar and these ladies nailed it. I love their banter, the movie choices and the pace of the show. So excited I have years of content to catch up on!

  • Great hosts, great guests.

    Love this show. Doesn’t matter if I’ve seen the film or not.

    Took a star off my rating because the reviewers judge movies using a 2020’s viewpoint. Please remember when these films were made and you all are so “woke” it’s a bit much at times. Yes some of them have questionable aspects but you are very committed to the politically correct interpretation. Can you center a tad more? The worst eg. of this The Witches which you reviewed as if this movie was for 5 year olds. It’s not. One of your tak... more

OBSESSION with Michael Johnston and Megan Lawless
Q: How did you approach portraying Bear and Nikki's complicated relationship on screen?
The actors describe finding truth in toxic attraction by focusing on present-moment acting, trusting the director's vision, and letting the scene unfold naturally while respecting the film's dark themes.
IS GOD IS with Mallori Johnson
Q: What was Mallori Johnson's process in shaping Ania's character?
Mallori described approaching Ania as the protector in the sister duo, developing her through rehearsals, prosthetics work, and a deep understanding of the character's need for normalcy and family, which grew as filming progressed.
FACES OF DEATH with Daniel Goldhaber & Isa Mazzei
Q: What was your relationship to horror growing up, and did a specific film shape it for you?
Goldhaber and Mazzei discuss their varied introductions to horror, from Saw and The Shining to a more academic engagement with the genre, and how collaboration deepened their understanding and appreciation of horror as a vehicle for social commentary.
READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME with Samara Weaving
Q: What makes the sequel feel like a continuation of the original while introducing new elements?
The hosts explain that Ready or Not 2 expands the family bloodline conspiracy, retains the core 'hunt until dawn' premise, and adds new factions and weapons tied to each bloodline, while keeping Samara Weaving as the star through Grace's continued resilience.
UNDERTONE with Ian Tuason, Nina Kiri, and Adam DiMarco
Q: How did Nina Kiri approach playing Evie, especially with the pregnancy angle?
Nina describes grounding Evie in a specific need to acknowledge her feelings and the progression of the pregnancy as a narrative pivot, using denial as a tool to navigate fear and maintain an authentic, grounded performance across escalating supernatural events.
