LeftistTechBro ,

It’s a good show

I like the show

RandomAwesomeness ,

These ghosts are lovely!

I am a long-time (years!) listener of this excellent podcast. Ash and Jon have truly shaped my analysis of film and sparked a love and appreciation of horror that I never had before. There is so much care that goes into this podcast, from Ash’s beautiful and poetic précis, to Jon’s consistently insightful analysis, and the dynamic of friendship that they have together. They have introduced me to so many films I never would have watched, educated me on entire sections of film history (giallo!) and made me a more well-rounded film watcher and political agent. Love these sweet ghosts!

Grindul ,

Co-Ghosts with the Most!

Every week, Jon and Ash provide a hilarious and insightful deep dive into horror films and related media. From gothic studies and film studies to psychoanalysis and Marxism, they apply a wide variety of theoretical lenses. While I am not always familiar with their references, I am always entertained and given something to think about.
