Amaharri ,

Best podcast!

If you’re a horror cinephile this podcast is for you, but be warned, it’s also highly addictive!

Roadkill 666 ,

Great horror pod

It’s smart people talking smartly about smart films. Occasionally it’s also smart people talking smartly about dumb films. It is always entertaining.

Initially good…

There’s a lot of good stuff on the podcast, but Mike and a lot of the guests are quite annoying, and painful to listen to. It’s all very chummy in an obnoxious way, and a lot of times the guests and host come across as very smug and a bit up themselves. Mike also seems to go along with anything a guest says, even though that might contradict an opinion he had on an earlier episode. Just hand the show over to the excellent Kevin Lyons. He’s the best guest on the show!
