Bloody Good Horror

Does anyone else think that Eric is in love with John Schnaars?

I have been listening to BGH for close to ten years now. I really appreciated the effort they made to make the hosts more diverse after #MeToo, and the show definitely improved when they added more women and LGBTQ guests. I am just begging you all to stop covering BIPOC horror if you aren’t going to bring on people from those communities to balance out uninformed opinions. Their takes on Sinners during the end of year show made it clear that they didn’t even bother to read or listen to any other perspectives on the movie. It’s 2026, meet some people who don’t look like you and get them on the show!

The reviews and content are excellent but the main host Eric interrupts his co hosts and speaks over them like it’s his hydrant to piss on. It’s infuriating and prevents me from being able to listen. I’ve witnessed some of the other hosts just give up and question what they are doing on the show. Eric if you read this, your co hosts are too nice to say anything to your face because how domineering you can be.

I keep returning to this podcast, giving another listen, hoping for a different outcome. Insanity? Sure. I really enjoy the end of the year episodes where everyone lists their top ten. Rachel is definitely the shining light of the podcast. She is articulate, does her research, and brings a depth and compassion to the discussion. I’m not sure why Eric is the “host.” For someone who appears to find fault and criticize everything, he lacks the charisma and wit to pull it off. I will keep returning however!
