  • Vile people

    This is word for word the cohost post about Charlie Kirk.

    “Charlie Kirk, a right wing political 'activist' was shot in the neck today and died. The Internet screams: "graphic," "unwatchable."

    "unimaginable terror"

    For two years Gaza has lived through horrors that no words can hold

    Children carrying other children in bloodied backpacks.

    Bodies torn apart in buildings, shreds hanging.

    Brains on the floor.

    Burns too horrific to imagine.

    Horror upon Horror.

    And this is what's "too graphic"?

  • Meandering and tiring

    The talking back and forth isn’t very crisp they meander talk a lot about themselves talk over each others. Lots of laughing at their own jokes and laughing and laughing but you won’t be laughing. Just talk about Prince of Darkness. There’s ten minutes of content and then tons of filler.

  • These two amazing humans know their stuff, from the horror genre to cinema history overall, and share it with us through the queer gaze. The chemistry between these longtime BFFs is what really makes this pod shine in an already crowded industry. Sponsored by GRRM's Jean Cocteau Cinema and Beastly Books, the creative ambience of this historic building oozes all throughout this podcast. You can sample the visuals as well on Siena and Al's accompanying YouTube channel! Adam Bomb approved!
