“This podcast is excellent, bordering on addictive, and I admit to have listened to most episodes twice 😮
The star of the show is Jeffrey’s thesis statement which opens each episode. You can tell he’s a writer, as these anecdotes are always clever and insightful.
I’ve learned so much not just about horror but about film in general from this show. I love the “dice” format for choosing films. I love them poking fun at lovably bad films.
I love Jeffrey’s & Cecil’s long-running chemistry from WTNV.
My complaints, tho, have been mentioned by others. Cecil interrupts Jeffrey a lot. He also seems to need to let us know he 🌿🔥💨. We get it.
Sometimes the guests are great. Sometimes they are overly loud to the point of shouty, or go on Tangents that clog up the run time. And when there are two guests, it often becomes a shouting & one-up joke fest where any actual film critique gets lost under overwhelming noise :/
I was so excited about the Sweeney Todd episode only to shut it up 10 mins in cause it was four people just making fun of musical theatre conventions. Womp womp.
(Sarah Maria Griffin, however, is always a gem).
Still, I love it. Give it a listen. Try a few episodes. Just keep the above in mind if you’re sensitive to interruptions & rambling. 4/5.”
