  • Great Podcast!!

    What an awesome show! They really make you see the films they discuss in a different light. Many of the movies came out when I was younger than Alec and Erik are now so I love reliving the experience and hearing how they feel about the films. I’ve revisited many of the films after the podcast reviews. Some have even held up. The guests they have add a lot to the show and they often add a perspective I hadn’t considered.

  • Horror Aficionado

    Been listening to various episodes they have put out for about a year. We don’t listen to all of them only because we haven’t seen some of the movies they discuss that week, but will hear that they are going to review something which prompts us to watch the film. 😊 They are animal lovers, funny, and bring up cool facts about the film. Keep up the good work!
