Kill By Kill: Talking Horror Characters One Death At A Time

by We Write Good

In each episode, Patrick Hamilton and Gena Radcliffe unpack all the gory details of horror cinema's least discussed topic: the characters. From Friday the 13th to the Evil Dead franchise and beyond, our mission is to detail each hack, slash, and decapitation in the hopes that a victim's untimely end is just the beginning of the jokes we can make about them.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I find myself nodding in agreement with the hosts throughout each episode. I appreciate their fan-oriented approach where they find ways to have a good time and laugh at the ridiculousness that sometimes makes it into movies while also just celebrating and enjoying horror films.

Ran into these folks in a Threads discussion about Skinamarink and had to hear their thoughts. This feels like hanging out with two old friends - smart and thoughtful and funny and good-spirited even when being critical. Thats a fast follow for me

BaronSpeerzy · Aug 2024

Patrick & Gena are so much fun to listen to. Funny & smart discussions of a wide variety of movies. I love when they discuss animal attack movies & KBK After Dark where they discuss Erotic Thrillers. The Episodes on Graveyard Shift & Color of Night are particular favorites! Highly Recommend!

ck7788vid · Jun 2024

I wanted to leave a review because these guys are genuinely, both two of the funniest and most entertaining people I’ve listened to. I’m literally watching every movie I haven’t seen after the third one so I can appreciate the episodes better and their excellent takes. I will say though, I do personally enjoy Ethel and Junior as characters in Pt V, I’ve always wanted to see an adaptation of Emmett Otter Jug Band Christmas with a Rob Zombie’s Halloween edge so that was cool! My favorite kill in the franchise is probably from one of the worst movies, the liquid nitrogen frozen face gag! If I had to choose a deathventure, I’m choosing Brenda from Pt 1, she clearly moves after going through the window, which makes her an unknown survivor so Jason didn’t even think to…do a Google Maps search for her? Anyways, Patrick and Gena, thanks for being awesome, and making my work days fly by. I appreciate y’all so much!

StruggleScorpio · Jul 2023

I like this podcast but the hosts are in their 60’s I think so there’s a bit of a disconnect. It’s a bit like listening to Bob Ross painting show but the humor is dull. They also tend to leave their guests behind or get little involvement from them. I think this is due to their humor as it’s a bit off . There’s better. Highly recommend Horror Virgin or Evolution of Horror for hosts with better horror knowledge.
