Horror Show Hot Dog

I'd like to preface this review by saying I do not watch nearly as many horror movies now as I did when I was a child (and probably shouldn't have been but it was something my father and I both enjoyed and bonded over). I enjoy listening to HSHD 1) because I enjoy listening to people discuss topics that they are passonate and knowledgable about and 2) these guys are funny AF. Even if you aren't a horror fanatic, give it a shot. Maybe you'll discover a hidden gem or, at the very least, have a good laugh.

These guys changed my outlook from “I won’t enjoy this movie because don’t like to be scared” to “so worth it”! I thought classics like Scream and Halloween were just exceptions, but now some of my favorite movies are ones I only know about from this podcast, especially horror-comedies like Dead Snow and Stitches. This show is also why I finally watched A Nightmare on Elm Street and learned that "chills down your spine” isn’t always an idiom. I still let most of the movies go unwatched, but they can always deliver what I’m really listening for: fun conversations!

This podcast gets my seal of approval. It is a great way to start or end your day, or maybe for some time in the middle.

Have you ever found yourself in that all too common situation when you are chatting up this cute guy in the local bar and you run out of things to talk about? Then dreaded question comes around "What kind of movies do you like?" Now maybe you are like me and are incapable of doing one thing for more than half an hour without a drink in your hand and you don't want to seem like a kind of no-fun kill-joy that doesn't like movies. Normally you would have to come up with some lame excuse like "I don't approve of the studio system's treatment of young talent" or "I have epilepsy." No more! Thanks to Horrorshow Hot Dog you can talk about a vast library of great to terrible, classic to modern horror movies and keep the conversation moving till you can change the subject or seal the deal. Even if you are some weirdo who doesn't want to pick up gay dudes, the amazing dynamic between Adam's Hollywood expertise, Matt's improve comedy experience and Josh's dog make learning about horror movies an incredibly entertaining activity. Do not deny your brain this information any longer! Thanks for the hours of joy guys, keep up the good work.
