“I am a long-time (years!) listener of this excellent podcast. Ash and Jon have truly shaped my analysis of film and sparked a love and appreciation of horror that I never had before. There is so much care that goes into this podcast, from Ash’s beautiful and poetic précis, to Jon’s consistently...”Read full review »

“Every week, Jon and Ash provide a hilarious and insightful deep dive into horror films and related media. From gothic studies and film studies to psychoanalysis and Marxism, they apply a wide variety of theoretical lenses. While I am not always familiar with their references, I am always...”Read full review »

“Insightful, hilarious, and always curious - Jon and Ash have some of the most interesting conversations about peculiar films, 99% of which I’ve never seen, but I’ll never tire of hearing such intelligent dissections of “horror” films (whether mainstream, cult classic, or utterly obscure). Come...”Read full review »

“What I think Horror Vanguard does better than most other podcasts out there is show that this isn’t just an intellectual exercise in Marxist media criticism. Instead, it’s an insightful exploration of how people, animals, the earth, and everything else connect together and how that connection is...”Read full review »

“Here’s a show about horror movies, about how they are interesting, crucial, good and bad. How we can understand them, how they can help understand us, and the world around us. Horror is an incredible set of lenses to look at the world, and Horror Vanguard offers us and refines them in the best...”Read full review »

“Adam from acid horizon shared this podcast and at first I was in to it. I recently had my first encounter with resident evil because of Netflix’s show; I’m a woman who’s never played video games or saw the movies so I went back and started watching all of them followed by the horror vanguard...”Read full review »

“This is a genuinely great podcast that looks at horror films through a leftist theory lens. Which on paper may appear very dry, but the hosts Jon and Ash have a genuine love for Horror films that makes listening to them infectious. They also have an ability to encourage each other to knew and...”Read full review »

“I have been listening for a longtime and I wanted to drop a review. This podcast and the co-ghosts are always great. They explore a wide variety of horror movies and put a lot of thought into the context and components of the films. I haven’t always been a horror fan but listening to the podcast...”Read full review »

“Really interesting and thought provoking criticisms of often overlooked films by two extremely affable and smart people. They’ve helped me discover TONS of reading and viewing material that I’ve made viewing events out of (well, remote events due to COVID, ha).”

“Stumbled upon this podcast by chance. The reviews of the books/films discussed are always fair and the hosts are aware of their own biases (and point them out!)
The hosts always provide a nice list of other media check out that go along with their podcasts as well.
My person favorite is Ep....”Read full review »

“I haven't read the books these guys have read, and I struggled to explain what draws me to certain horror films and how they relate to the late-capitalist world, but they make it seem easy! Great stuff, I never would have seen some of these movies or heard some of these voices if not for the...”Read full review »

“There’s nothing quite like Horror Vanguard. They’ve got fantastic subjects to talk about each week, the hosts are active in the patreon discord chat. And of course best of all is their left politics - inspired by China Mieville and deeply sincere in reclaiming horror from the Right.”

Through the lens of horror movies these men through lucid analysis and charming banter, give names and shapes to the abstract horror of capitalism...”Read full review »

“A great show with two amazing comrades, loved Jon already, and I’m happy to know Ash now! The discussions are interesting and the fact that it’s horror in a general sense and not purely recent horror works makes this incredibly interesting and promising!!”
