They know a lot about movie history but…
It’s clear the hosts know a lot about movie history, which is something I find lacking in a lot of other horror movie podcasts. However, they also come across as joyless contrarians who can’t just enjoy a film. By all means, please dig into the behind-the-scenes history, but it’s not fun if they act like grouchy college professors who are bitter their book hasn’t made the best seller list and spend the majority of class ranting about someone more successful. Their dreary discussion of Halloween (2018) in particular just smacks of someone who wanted to work on the film and is full of sour grapes. Not to mention their views on the quality of a film is so narrow that I’m honestly surprised they like movies at all. Find a podcast with a little more joy because life is too short for this.
