Customer Reviews
Love the babes
Many horror podcasts are so in love with themselves that it takes forever to wade through the adorable banter to get to the good stuff. Nicole and Topher are adorable, but never cloying, and it never hinders them from delivering a content-rich podcast, with a smart point of view.
They’re just not that bright
Surface level analysis + poor research + endless talking in circles = migraine
stop the unnecessary and irrelevant political rants
I really wanted to like this podcast and I listened to about 5 episodes, but couldn’t take all the lame virtue signaling. You don’t need to add political slants & rants to every single movie even when it’s not relevant or isn’t the focus of the movie. Your political statements and intolerance of anyone that doesn’t share your world views makes you come off as a self-righteous narcissist. Politicals are right in our face all the time and this is supposed to be an entertaining escape, if I wanted to listen to a podcast about politics I would. Unsubscribed.
