What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It’s easy to put a group of friends or family together and have good jokes and camaraderie. It’s a lot harder to do the thoughtful deep dives and research Pod Mortem does - and they deliver every time! They always make me feel like I’m hanging out and watching the movie with them. I love when Renee axes us a question, or teaches us just how many films are actually Giallo films. I love and appreciate all her perspectives. Travis both educates us, and reminds us of the importance of decorum. And JP has an untapped passion for digging up interesting history - (I loved the Malignant episode! JP should do more historical deep dives!) Thanks for brightening my week with your awesome podcast.

Updated update- This continues to get better and better with every episode. I keep updating because I need more people to listen so I can have more episodes. Updated review- this podcast has definitely become my favorite horror movie show and I eagerly await Mondays for new episode drops. I love the length of the episodes and the details provided since I listen to shows while I’m walking my dogs, doing household chores, etc. The hosts all have different viewpoints and opinions on the movies covered, yet I somehow generally agree with all three. ‘Can’t miss’ show for any fans of horror.

I just started listening to this charming trio a couple of months ago and I’m totally hooked. I love their chemistry, their wit, their insights, and Reneé’s laugh. Her laugh always makes me smile! These three have helped me get through grueling 10 hour shifts at my job. Keep up the good work, guys!

LittleGhostBat · Sep 2026

Renee has the best laugh I’ve ever heard! I’m not a huge horror fan but have seen maybe half of these and it’s still super fun to listen to even if you haven’t seen them all. The banter and laughter has me snarking and laughing out loud all the time. These are my people Great show!!!
