I love this podcast for hilarious horror movie reviews! I’ve never found a more enjoyable movie review podcast and I’m sooooo a fan of horror! Even though they cut up movies I like, I still laugh! I heard this podcast advertised on 3 Spooked Girls and I’m so glad I did!! Love the drinks too!! May give me some great ideas!! Kelli in IL.

Go Women!

Very fun twist on a movie review/recap podcast. I love the queer perspective on things and always appreciate the trigger warnings at the top of the episode.

Favorite podcast ever

If you’re looking for the perfect horror movie podcast you have struck gold. Everything they give from the trailer audio to mom reviews to scaredy facts! It’s so much fun while also being able to discuss serious queer and feminist topics. I have been listening to this podcast for so long now I feel like I’m part of Char and Kelly’s relationship! Definitely deserves more than 5 stars ✨💜
