My favourite podcast
That's it. My favourite podcast.
Superb
There is nothing better than listening to two smart women taking apart & putting back together a film genre they clearly know everything about. The feminist lens enriches the experience. I can’t recommend this podcast more highly.
Smart, Funny and Entertaining
I LOVE THIS PODCAST! Andrea and Alex really get you thinking while being incredibly interesting and funny. So great to hear a horror podcast that has its roots so firmly in feminism and social conciousness. Excellent stuff, I highly recommend.
