Absolutely Love!

I’m always excited to see a new episode of this show pop up! It’s helped me hear about movies I never knew I needed to watch and is a must-listen for horror fans. Thank you Elric and Rebekah!

The best horror podcast out there

I love this podcast so much I subscribed to the Patreon deep cuts so I can get more. I’ve now gone back and listened to every episode of both the pod and deep cuts. Love our co-hosts and all of the horror finds that I have discovered through them.

Great information if you can live through RMK

I love the content that this show has to offer, and always come away with a new movie or book for my list. Really cool stuff that I’d not ordinarily run across. It would be a 5 if Rebekah could dial back the name/achievement/trip/class/event dropping that she manages to insert into nearly every topic of discussion. My goodness, that woman loves herself.
