What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve been binge listening to Pod Mortem for a while now and overall I think they have a great format, they have really good banter and jokes, and a lot of their analysis is really thoughtful. Their critiques can be hit or miss, sometimes it seems they don’t apply the same critique to movies they don’t like to movies they do like. When they don’t like a movie, it can be kind of a drag. As someone who loves almost all types of horror, I’m surprised how much they don’t like. They save their really high praise for “Art house” type films. Overall even though I may not agree with a lot of their preferences or critiques, they can be a good time and when they are on, they can be electric.

Alimon06 · Aug 2026

I absolutely adore this podcast and the 3 hosts. I’ve been listening for a few years and I’ve revisited several of the episodes more than once. I sincerely think episode 176 might be the funniest single episode of a podcast I’ve ever heard. Do yourself a favor and subscribe, you won’t be disappointed!

JimmyL1981 · Aug 2026

I love the deep-dive format of this show and the fact that the hosts are always well-prepared. I don’t always agree with the opinions but I do always enjoy hearing the rationale. These are people I’d enjoy watching movies with.

BurritoNite · Jul 2026

If I could rate them higher than five, I would. I listen to this podcast on a daily basis, having re-listened to all of the episodes numerous times not to mention the additional content provided by being part of their Patreon. This podcast goes above and beyond to ensure they provide quality, writing, banter, recap, and so much more. Rene JP and Travis are hysterically funny and very relatable. If you like horror, you’ll love this podcast!
