The Golden Globes are cool and all, but where did THE SUBSTANCE rank on each of our panel members list? THAT IS THE IMPORTANT QUESTION! new episode is out open.spotify.com/episode/7IaF...

2024 was a great year for us! The franchises we covered: 🧟‍♂️ Frankenstein 🏚️ Paranormal Activity 🧛‍♂️ Blade 📼 V/H/S 🪰 The Fly 🤡 Terrifier 👻 Ghostbusters And 2025 is looking to be just as awesome. Patrons already know! Thanks for being a part of our wild and wonderful pod fam.

Realizing there's a near 3 hour episode to edit for our top ten of 2024 episode and deciding, "fuck it let all the chaos remain on display."

Ten episodes were really proud of from another banner year for the show: 10. GHOSTBUSTERS Our biggest episode ever. Had so much fun breaking down one of the seminal comedies of the 80s. Lots of laughs with this one open.spotify.com/episode/0qtT...

Ending the year by closing out GHOSTBUSTERS. we were a bit loopy on this one, recorded during a week where time has no meaning but it’s a hell of a lot of fun open.spotify.com/episode/62cJ...

Tomorrow we drop our annual Xmas ep. This year we tackle a movie the story of a family who locks their boy in the attic then flees the continent to escape his bloodlust & reign of terror. Only, he ESCAPES & takes sadistic pleasure in torturing two working class stiffs who stumble into his home.

Ariel, as you all know, is simply the best. Definitely become a patron today and give yourself the gift of these great exclusive episodes
