More, please!

I just listened to all five episodes within three days, and it made me realize, or remember, how much I love scary movies - both the cliché horror ones, but especially the genuinely frightening ones that are actually good movies. I was shocked by how soon you went to Hereditary, which is pretty much the most unsettling scary movie I’ve ever seen. Would love to hear you go on for hours and hours about other horror movies!

Love this podcast.

I’m a scaredy cat too, I watched Hereditary over three days during the day. Biggest chicken ever😂😅

Funny

I like this. I listen to Reply All mainly because I love both of you guys’ laughter, and you laugh in this one too, so that’s enough for me!
