Customer Reviews
Fun double-bills.
First off, the main 1-star review here seems to be from someone upset at the BBC impression show, Dead Ringers. Which isn’t this.
What you have here is a group of people discussing some enjoyable horror movie double-bills, with obvious themes and less obvious connections examined.
Despite the spread of co-hosts, there seems to be a bias towards more recent fare in general conversation and they keep mentioning titles some haven’t seen that feel like strange horror movie knowledge gaps to have.
Still, well done on being another movie podcast to actually discuss movies properly, as opposed to just telling you exactly how the plot fully plays out. Accept spoiler potential for every main title discussed, but the chat is certainly worthwhile.
Repeats
They release episodes from years ago as new episodes. What's the point of having a podcast manager which lets me categorize them as played or unplayed if the c***s at the BBC are going to re-issue old episodes as if they were new. Useless. Deleted.
