Where the heck is another podcast???

The 42nd Street Drive-In Podcast is one of the most enjoyable horror/exploitation podcasts that I've listened to... I enjoy the format, the content, the special guests, the chemistry between the two hosts and I even dig the funny sound effects they intersperse throughout. I only have ONE problem with the podcast... they only have made 15 episodes and have not made a new one in many months! Hey guys, you can't lure me in like this, get me hooked on your show and then cut me off dry... well, I guess you can, but you SHOULDN'T! Seriously guys, your show is really excellent and I'm quite dissapointed that you no longer put it together.

Good Concept, Cheesy Hosts

Love the idea of a grindhouse podcast. I wish the hosts weren't so embarrassingly cheesy. They are a copy of a stereotypical wacky morning zoo radio crew.

Fantasticly funny

Great reviews, fun interviews, and delightful information abounds. I only wish there were more episodes.
