My favorite podcast of all time

I used to think I was a weirdo because I read the plots to scary movies on IMDB instead of watching them, but thanks to this show now I know I’m not alone! Please don’t ever stop making episodes. Love y’all forever 🥰

Like the hosts but…

I guess I don’t understand the format of having 2 hosts, 1 of which hasn’t seen the movie, and the other just gives a detailed synopsis of the film. They don’t provide any fun facts, background, opinions, etc.

Fun and they do a great job recapping the films

I listen to a few horror movie podcasts and the hosts do a great job of recapping the movie in a way that is evocative and fun. I feel like I’ve actually seen some of the movies.
