Customer Reviews
No else gives these kinds of movies this level of analysis and laughs, at the same time
Long-time listener, and I just finished listening to the both episodes of their Alien Resurrection coverage, which ranks up there as maybe my first- or second-favorite coverage of any movie they’ve have done (their coverage of the first Evil Dead is the one to beat for me. Their love for that movie really shines through, and I think can turn anyone who’s not a fan into an appreciator, at the very least). This is simply because of how willing they are to give this oft-maligned movie the same level of attention as the prior, more beloved films.
And that’s what makes this podcast, just like its sister podcasts The Loser’s Club and The Ladykillers, so freaking great: they’re not the type of movie/horror fans who are content to just regurgitate the exact same banal trivia points you could get from a movie’s wikipedia or IMDB trivia pages; like an Inception meme, “they have to go deeper.”
I mean, there’s a lot of movies they cover that I’m a huge fan and think that I know a lot about, and they still have tendency to find something in their research that I didn’t know!
And on top of all of that, their chemistry with each other is off the charts. You can tell they’re all old friends by the way they know how to jump on each other’s intentional (and impromptu) joke setups. It’s a total comfort listen for that reason.
Ran away, I love it.
Love your podcast. If people don’t want to hear the rant, they can go somewhere else. The best part of your pod is you guys saying whatever you want. It feels genuine.
New drinking game
Love the pod. Try taking a shot every time the word “like” is used. You’ll be wasted 5 min in.
