Customer Reviews
A must listen for movie fans.
This a a great piece of film journalism, wonderfully researched and genially presented. It's comprehensive but never feels overwhelming, with smart choices on what is and isn't included. If you're into horror, or wider movies for that matter, don't hesitate, just subscribe.
Constant elevation.
The Hammer and Amicus episodes are kinda special, The show improves with every instalment. Got my Alan Frank books out for reference. The theme to the show is great. (Run The Jewels/ El-P?) Who is it? Much love. Look forward to the next 'un.

More great stuff from Chris brown
After the hugely successful transition from video nasties podcast to book, Chris brown goes macro with a history of horror. Only two eps in and I'm hooked. Not surprising I was hooked to his Video Nasties one too. Like I said on my review of that podcast Chris's style is easy on the ears and the content informative. He's like his very own public service broadcaster ... Well I think there's a public good coming from what he does ... Get on it
