Customer Reviews
Meh
I really like the topics, but the host is annoying. Beyond annoying. I don’t like his personality or his voice and it doesn’t really seem like he knows what he’s talking about most of the time.
Tons of room for easy improvement
Just… bare minimum stuff for a show like this: Watch the films of the director being discussed. Absolutely do not have a guest on and then ask them to describe the movies you neglected to watch in preparation. Incredible concept for a pod that would be elevated by some controllable variables.
Good concept, bad host
Seriously, how is this guy an editor for Dread Central??
He frequently hasn’t seen sequels (sleepaway camp 2-3, Psycho 2-3) yet tries talking about unmade films in the series while bashing the films he hasn’t seen.
Information is frequently wrong and he has no clue who directors of even modern films are proving he is not not much a horror or even film fan. Typically they don’t even discuss the actual unmade sequel until the last quarter of the episode.
The earlier episodes are virtually unlistenable due to his constant adding of quips and ‘quirky’ one-liners to just about every sentence, and thankfully newer episodes have toned that down but as it stands, this is a very bad version of The Best Movies Never Made podcast.
Advice for Josh: please get a more knowledgeable co-host and actually put effort into research.
