  • Pleasing and info-rich

    The combination of subject matter (less well-known horror films) and style (low-key but engaged) is very fortuitous for me. The hosts’ speaking styles are so comfortable from a listening standpoint that I can enjoy any episode.

  • Fun and honest

    Smart and funny! I listen to a lot of movie podcasts and I clicked with this one right away. So many podcasts about obscure movies are either laughing at the movies or they’re overly laudatory, but Lance and Erica just want to open up discussions.

  • One of the Best Horror / Psychotronic Film Discoveries

    Lance and Erica are very knowledgeable and engaging hosts with an amazing awareness of obscure cinema. I have made numerous additions to my home video collection thanks to them. I found this podcast in 2024 and have been bingeing their back catalog for gems ever since. Keep up the great work you two!
