Thank you for the laughter and horror discussion.

…after discovering from a “Last Shift” search. Great chemistry, good humor and some rabbit trails that end up paying off. On top of my positive first impressions, I heard them endorse Suboxone and other MAR meds to get off heroin. As someone with 9+ sober/clean years, I owe my life in part to those medications. I’m also a baby-face like Michael and can’t grow a beard, even at age 48.
Good stuff all around, count me in and “on the bus” going forward.
Update: where’s the third dude? Hopefully it’s temporary because he is funny and adds a lot.
Another Update: The show is still very good, but losing the extra 3rd dude definitely takes some zip off their fastball…

I just discovered your podcast on a friend’s recommendation and I cannot stop binging it. Listening to your reviews is like watching & experiencing these movies all over again with fresh eyes. The observations and explanations you bring take the movies to a new level for me. 10/10. Love love love.

A perfect blend of humor, horror, and surprisingly insightful commentary. Even though I miss Mikey’s humor (he just ran to the store for milk and snacks y’all… he’ll be back) listening to Todd and Paige is equivalent of a weekly spooky sleepover with a group of friends—one of whom is bravely hiding behind a pillow. Five stars for keeping us laughing through the blood and guts!
Lady ScreamsALot · Jan 2025
This used to be my favorite podcast by far. I’ve been listening since the days of Jen and while I was sad to see her leave, nobody likes change, I grew to really love Paige and the chemistry she had with Mikey and Todd. Seeing Mikey leave was a devastating blow. I thought maybe Todd and Paige could survive on their own but unfortunately for me they could not. It’s just not the same without Mikey. He added an organic sense of humor that seems too forced now by Todd. Paige has also become too political and preachy and she comes off a little full of herself. I come to have a good time and share some laughs and opinions on the genre I love most.
For those of you who feel the same and are looking for an alternative show to consume, I highly recommend Pod Mortem. Their episodes are 3-5 hours as they break down each movie scene by scene with hilarious commentary and insightful behind the scenes information.
I would happily add THV back to my rotation if Mikey comes back but I don’t see that happening anytime soon :(
the purple card man · Sep 2026
The longer the show goes on without Mikey, the more it becomes apparent that he really was the heart and soul of THV. There’s no show without Todd undoubtedly. But Mikey was always the secret ingredient. I’m certain I’ll get some hate for this, so be it… Where THV has always struggled is the third host. Jen was an absolute wet blanket, but she was much better than Paige who is just loud, grating, and so much less funny than she thinks she is. If Mikey is gone for good, perhaps it’s time to put this show out to pasture.
