    Definitely Recommend and Why
    I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while as I’m a film fan and this podcast uses the modern framework of cinematic universes to tell their own interpretations of famous horror films while celebrating the LGBT community, commune with fans, as well as using their knowledge of modern entertainment to appropriately fancast. If I could recommend a particular episode, you can’t go wrong with ‘The Invisible Man’ or ‘The Wolf Man’ but I’d start from the beginning. Try an ep or two, you got nothing to lose.

    Fantastic
    Honestly the universe that Dylan and Dalton have created has me consumed with brainworms, in a very good way. Universal give them their paycheck dammit 🤣

    This podcast has inspired my own writing and improved my storytelling in an easily accessible way. They create stories that are passionate and engaging and will leave you on the edge of your seat. Don’t be afraid of the podcast!!!

    Insufferable
    I’m leaving this 90 minute episode after listening to them enjoying the sound of their own voices for 20 minutes rather than discussing the movie.

    They have a chance to escape the woke cancer, but alas they have kept the cancer strong.

    So much fun
    I love listening to this podcast. The story telling is great. They took what could have just been a fluffy bit of fun (not saying that’s bad) and made something really good and well written. I’m not a huge horror fan but I would happily see most of these movies.

    Superb
    Great series. I’m only on episode three but it’s so compelling. A really cool way to download some great, creative writing. Only downside is I now have these excellent movies stuck in my head that haven’t actually been made.

    Someone give these dedicated, thoughtful goofballs control of a major film franchise ASAP.
