Everything I’ve ever wanted in a podcast

So happy I found this! I love all things horror and always find myself wanting to dive into the history of spooky things. I enjoy the skeptic vs. open-minded realist dynamic. I agree w/ Abby that the latter view creates a more fun world to live in. Great work!

You guys seem to not like any movies.

The last episode, you guys put on about demonic possession. It just seems like every single movie you disliked. In fact, the only movie you even gave a positive spin on was the one that your friends made. It gets a little frustrating, listening to this podcast because I really want to get the information, but I feel like all the Pokémon talk, and hating all horror movies, especially beloved classics like the exorcist Rosemary‘s baby and the witch kind of turns me off. I’ve noticed that lately. Your content has changed a lot and in my opinion not for the better. Maybe think about that kind of stuff when making your podcast you know. it just comes off as you guys are just trying to promote the film of your friends and doesn’t really look cool. As far as being like lovers of horror, it seems that there are lots of movies that you guys just haven’t seen that most horror movie fans would love.just my two cents I’ll give you guys another episode, but if it continues like this, I probably will unsubscribe
