Seasoned Skeptics

Welcome to Seasoned Skeptics — the horror podcast where a total newbie gets thrown into the deep end of scares, guided (and occasionally roasted) by a no-filter horror veteran. Hosted by Nick (the wide-eyed horror rookie who's barely scratched the surface of movies, let alone the blood-soaked world of slashers, supernatural terrors, and creature features) and Derral (the seasoned expert with decades of deep dives, hot takes, and zero patience for bad tropes or lazy jump scares). Together, we break down the latest and greatest (and weirdest) in horror: from fresh releases and underrated gems to classics that still hold up — plus in-depth recaps of must-watch series like HBO's IT: Welcome to Derry (we're basically your #1 obsessive source for all things Pennywise and Derry drama). Expect unfiltered reviews, plot-hole probing, skeptical side-eye at overrated hits, celebration of gloriously trashy B-movies, and plenty of "wait, what just happened?" moments. We can't help but veer wildly off-topic — whether it's debating golf etiquette, unpacking wild pop-culture conspiracies, geeking out over comics, or riffing on whatever random tangent sparks mid-scream. It's chaotic, honest, hilarious, and always real — no scripted fluff, just two friends arguing, laughing, and geeking out over what makes horror tick. If you're a horror die-hard looking for fresh perspectives, a newbie wanting to dip your toes in without going in blind, or just love podcasts that feel like hanging out with friends who won't shut up about scary movies... hit play. We've got the scares covered — so you don't have to face them alone.Subscribe now for weekly(ish) episodes packed with screams, skepticism, and zero apologies. New here?
