One of the Best

If you like films and specifically genre films, if you like insightful and vastly entertaining conversations about said films this is the podcast for you. The season structure is great and makes it easy to binge- listen if you’re on the road or even while you’re doing something else like cooking. Mike Muncer is a great host that knows how to direct his guests well with interesting questions and insights of his own. Also nobody is annoyingly shouty or has a grating voice. Overall on of the greatest podcasts to listen to. The seasons can easily be listened to out of order if something does not interest you as much. If you’re a Horror fan I strongly recommend giving it a go.

It’s a good mix...

...of critical analysis and personal opinion. Great selection of guests and themes. If you are a horror fan check out this one!
