More episodes of PJ and Alex!

This podcast is awesome because lets me enjoy horror movies without having to actually watch the ones that are too scary for me! And PJ and Alex are so fun to listen to. I hope there’s another season!

Season 2 please!

I LOVE reading about scary movies, or watching previews but that’s the extent of it. Your podcast is everything I need to experience a scary movie without watching it! Pleaaaase continue, and the hosts are so pleasant as well

So good!

I’m a scaredy cat and this really inspired me to be brave and watch scary movies sometimes! Please make a season two 😍
