Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Happy to have found this awesome podcast with great hosts and dynamic guests. Honestly I have discovered so many horror movies I didn’t know existed
Entertaining as 🦆
I enjoy the combination true crime and horror. Jake, Trisha and guest host take their listener on an informational and enjoyable ride along with guest host as they watch horror movies and then discuss if they were based on actual crimes. A rating comes at the end where each person desides how much they liked the film. Honestly, what’s not to like?
p.s. I love JAWS. I am one of THOSE people.
Obsessed.
I started listening to this podcast yesterday. I can’t get enough. It’s so entertaining to listen to. I wish I could join in on their conversations!
