What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love the film history and humor that comes with this podcast. It’s well balanced and entertaining. And love the different segments it’s broken up into.

Thehorrordad · Aug 2026

I love this podcast - been listening for a few years. I usually don’t rate things but wanted to share my love since I think you guys do a great job and the research feels like for fans that love and appreciate dvd behind the scene features. I wish I could be best friends with Rachel - your breakdowns are so thorough and as a female horror fan myself I appreciate that lens. Don’t mind the other people taking time out of their day to call out with 1 stars and keep up the good work all!

Sadmisotoast · Jul 2026

This was the first horror podcast I listened to so I will always have love for it. However I do have a suggestion. In the beginning you had someone who provided some humor to the podcast and, while I get why you dropped him, since he left it has been less fun. You guys are very knowledgeable and have great insights but, unfortunately, it has started to sound a bit pretentious. You need someone to bring some humor to your discussions and maybe call out some of the pretentiousness in a fun way. It pains me to say it but it has become a bit boring (the worst sin in horror). Please bring in someone to lighten it up a little. Still have love for you though and I wish you all well.

I’ve been listening for years. If you’re a horror snob, like myself, this is a great companion for your work day or commute; or for any reason you just can’t get enough horror snobbery. The introspection is always so engrossing as is the hilarious ranting and complaints. I feel you; even if I don’t agree. Point is, just feel this pod. It’ll feel you back…long time.

VictorLictorNoNo · Feb 2026

Way too political for a horror podcast. Pretty much everything new coming out has a political angle to these guys. I don’t think I could do a bigger eye roll when they compared the recent World Cup to the 1936 olympics. Been listening to them off and on since the hype up of Halloween 2018 coming out. Dan is the only one that comes off remotely genuine and not a caricature. The rest have so much hate/ignorance I can’t take what they say seriously.
