4.7 out of 5 stars from 415 ratings
  • Fun and entertaining, love Peach's journey from horror averse to horror enjoyer while also not really being able to watch horror movies. Good way to get an idea of a horror movie plot without spoiling every twist and turn. Enjoyable regardless of having seen the horror movie in question.

    Some episodes are great (when they like a movie) but some episodes will drive you mad. It’s especially funny that one person forms hard opinions on a movie that he has never seen and is only being read a Wikipedia description of. Like he’s currently complaining about the director’s saying that old women are disgusting by portraying this woman as old and decrepit, but hasn’t heard the end of the movie. But when they like a movie, it’s GOLD
