Uncles Tim and David are prepared to escort you through the long corridors of ghastly themes and speculative similarities. Whether you seek enlightenment, laughter, or explosive tirades of nerdy knowledge, these boys are well-acquainted with horror and Sci-Fi’s many doors.
…and they’re more than willing to share the keys.

Customer Reviews
Great movie podcast
Love listening to David & Tim.
Great new podcast!
I greatly enjoyed the discussion between David and Tim on the topic of “Night of the Living Dead.” Even though I’ve seen that movie several times, I learned a lot about the movie itself as well as its place in zombie lore and horror history. I appreciated the chemistry between the two hosts who brought similar, yet different points of view. You could tell they really did their homework, and put a lot of thought into the discussion and the show format overall. I look forward to their review of “The Thing” and cannot wait to see where they take this podcast.
Great podcast
