Customer Reviews
Fantastic Reviews!
It’s not often a review podcast gets into the extreme horror genre all that much - I can’t think of ANY that actually are dedicated to it directly!
Donna and Kris are great hosts - they’re engaging, funny, clearly fans of the genre and most important to me - they’re well informed on what makes a movie good or bad and WHY. I find myself nodding along to a lot of their critical takes and even more so when they get into the ideas of how things could’ve been done better.
Definitely subscribed and I’m telling other folks to do that same - this is a great one!
