Customer Reviews
A must listen for horror fans!
I have been listening for years and I have to say this is always in my weekly rotation for my playlists. Mike does a great job of exploring very relevant films and also obscure ones as well that you likely never heard of or just haven’t gotten around too. In appreciate his thoughtful breakdown from the social contexts, to the acting, score, cinematography, etc. His guests also tend to bring another layer of thoughtful discussion as well.
If I had one slight criticism it’s mostly the guests have clear political influences for their criticisms in certain horror films and the genre: and they lean a very obvious way as does Hollywood. Mike does a good job of not making it the focal point but sometimes his guests get carried away with tangents.
Horror snob or new to the genre, this is for you!
If you think you might enjoy this, do give it a try. Excellent guests, offering knowledgeable, insightful, varied opinion. It’s just so impressive and entertaining. Five flaming skulls of approval!
Amazing show
Just an amazing show. Feels like being with friends while getting to be nerdy about horror films.
