Genuine treat

It’s one of my new favorite listens. It was unexpected but delightful to find some queer voices talking about disturbing films. Love this podcast.

Great Listen

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. I love disturbing films but it’s always a bit of a toss up trying discuss them with others, especially when half the people I know don’t know/haven’t seen the majority of these movies. Dax and Mary Beth deliver equal parts silly banter and in depth analysis of the themes and symbolism of these movies, which is exactly what I’m looking for in a film podcast.

Yay!

I’ve seen most of these movies and I also have no one to talk about them with. I have a weird thing with seeking out disturbing movies as well, so I’m happy to have found this podcast. There are a few of these I haven't seen so I’m going to add them to my list. Yay!
