This podcast got me back into horror in such a major way! Chris and Robert provide such insightful deep dives into all things horror and horror adjacent. Each week is like catching up with old friends speaking passionately yet also critically about a genre they truly love. I’m so happy to have...Read full review »

This podcast is hands down my favorite in the land of commentary podcasting. I don’t often listen to much outside of audio-fiction, but Chris and Robert have a naturally engaging dynamic that makes me feel involved in the conversation in every episode. They’re fun, witty, and best of all they...Read full review »

I have been listening to the Film Flamers now for a few years, along with several other horror movie podcasts, and Chris and Robert are the only ones that have stood the test of time for me. Their format never grows tired by mixing it up with episodes that go into thoughtful deep dives on...Read full review »

Why does the one guy laugh during his entire synopsis? I started listening to the predator podcast and the one dude laughed the entire time. Not sure if this is a normal thing but this has made the whole podcast unlistenable.

Found these guys a while back while searching for a good discussion on the Alien franchise. I recently saw the new trailer for Alien: Romulus and immediately wished I could ask Chris and Robert how they felt about it. So, I figured it was time for a review. This is by far the highest quality...Read full review »

Look, I don't wanna dog on other podcasts just to bring this one up, but I will. No one recommended me the Film Flamers. Instead of doing my duties to my capitalist overloads, I was clicking on every horror movie podcast and giving them 45 seconds of my precious time. The 15-second jump...Read full review »

Robert and Chris really care about horror movies and honor them in the best way through this podcast. I love their approach to analyzing the themes, not tearing apart the movies to make themselves look superior, and introducing us to horror gems. Chris always has great trivia about each movie....Read full review »

I've been listening since the 2023 Overlook Film Festival and now I'm going through their back catalog because I can't get enough.

Robert and Chris are amazing at reviewing and probing horror movies! Even hard to understand movies are wrapped up in a pretty and enjoyable package. These guys are so insightful and see things I completely miss, with remarkable specificity! The shooting the flames episodes can't be...Read full review »
MidsommarMokey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
They say while discussing another podcast’s perspective on a woman’s portrayal, and the heavy tropes that exist around women and motherhood in film. Not a negative review leaver but, ouch. As men, this felt like belittling women’s perspectives on how women are portrayed - not respectful...Read full review »

Only two podcasts matter. The Ongoing History Of New Music and The Film Flamers. That’s it. Sorry Marc, Sarah, Ira, the rest of NPR, Crooked Media, Bloody Disgusting, Real Time, Nerdist, etc. You’re all swell, and I’ll always touch base, but I only have room in my Podcast Poly heart for two....Read full review »

I listen to a ton of Horror movie podcasts, & I’m pretty discerning. These guys never fail to deliver! They are always incredibly thorough & insightful, not to mention HILARIOUS. This podcast probably gets my sanity questioned more than any other due to it’s ability to make me bust out...Read full review »

I’m pretty picky about podcasts but they have covered some of my all time favorite films that can be hard to find as much analysis on. Good balance of fun and depth.

Hola! I was introduced to your podcast by my sister Nikki (yes THAT Nikki who was on your show) and as the one who introduced her to horror(you’re welcome) I wanted to write in to say how much I enjoy the podcast.

You don’t have to be a horror fan to appreciate how funny and insightful FF podcasts are. We are in crying laughing territory here. The hosts have educated, fair opinions backed up by cultural and technical knowledge. And it’s an absolute RIOT. You don’t even need to have watched all these movies...Read full review »

I’d rather shove bamboo shards under my fingernails then listen to these two talk about a movie again.

I just stumbled upon this awesome podcast after listening to their review of interview with the vampire from 1994.

I love this podcast so much. So much so that I recently became a Pateron! The flow of this show makes it’s really easy and enjoyable to listen. The Hellraiser and Carrie are by far by favorite episodes (so far). Keep up the amazing work!

I decided to briefly come to the Dark Side (join iTunes) just long enough to provide a review. I love podcasts and this is by far my favorite podcast. Honest reviews, interesting trailers and horror news and insightful deep dives - all of which keep the content fresh and keep me coming back. A...Read full review »

I found this podcast when looking for the soundtrack for ghost in the darkness. It’s not on Spotify apparently but I was so excited to find a podcast deep diving one of my favorite childhood movies. I didn’t know what to expect but I instantly fell in love. The deep dive was great, educational...Read full review »

They make horror reviews fun and funny. They dig deep when necessary and cut deep if necessary. The commentary makes you think, and laugh, and want to watch the movies they cover. Check them out. You won’t be disappointed.

The Film Flamers are an awesome duo. They bring a nice bit of comedy to their serious, deep-dive discussions of horror and horror-adjacent films all while interacting with their listeners. The Film Flamers always take it deep. They leave no stone unturned. In their deep-dives of horror films,...Read full review »

Having struggled to find a horror movie podcast that I found consistently entertaining and interesting episode after episode, The Film Flamers hits the bullseye for me.

I've been subscribed for a while and love both their dicussions of individual movies as well as them "shooting the flames" to keep me up to date on what's new and what they've been watching. Highly recommend for fans of horror (and fans of movies in general).Read full review »

I found this podcast on a whim while looking for podcasts that deep dived into Dawn of the Dead (1985). The hosts are pretty funny, I really enjoy their dark sense of humor. Their film analysis isn’t too deep, if that’s what you’re looking for. It’s mostly two friends giving their personal...Read full review »

Robert & Chris cover give each movie they discuss a fair shake and cover every aspect of it, from cast to score to cinematography, not just a plot walk through like many other movie podcasts. Their love for the genre is clear and even if I don't agree with their opinions about some of the...Read full review »

Fast, smart, witty, informative, never boring and far and away better than any peer podcast. Truly professional and palpable on-air host chemistry - the perfect juxtaposition between Chris’ film savoir faire and Robert’s horror fan cred. Never limited or confined by its horror genre...Read full review »
