Customer Reviews
Amazing show
Just an amazing show. Feels like being with friends while getting to be nerdy about horror films.
My go to podcast for long drives
I grew up in the 80’s/90’s in Wales, and worked in a video store.
I have spent a few years listening to these fine podcasts on long drives for work in the USA, and it feels like you have a couple of good mates in the car.
Great guests that beautifully discuss classic, as well as little known flicks.
I really enjoy the ‘Also Ran’ features that give a run through of films that while not great are still worth a mention.
This podcast has gotten me rebuilding a collection of horror movies on VHS and DVD that are unavailable on streaming services.
Good cohosts and bad cohosts
The quality of an episode really depends on the guest. Some cohosts have a lot to say, they are knowledgeable about films and are willing to analyze and provide insight. Some shut down discussions of sociological context or authorial intent or subtext. Others irresponsibly spread misremembered facts or pseudo-psychology. And others consider themselves the be-all-end-all of what is or isn’t Horror. Muncer rarely pushes back or tries to steer the conversation. So I guess find some good guests and listen to their episodes. If you skip a handful in a season, you won’t miss much.
