  • Summer of George

    I really loved The Summer of George. I am a zombie movie fan so this was right up my alley. Thank you for including the remakes. I also loved your ranking episode of the best movies of the past century. I’ve been a fan of the show for about 5 years now and it has never been better than it is right now. Keep up the great work, everyone!

  • Grating Voice - Carefree Audio Quality

    Mike, please do something to take care of that grating voice. You always sound sinus-infected or sick. It creates a grating sound that makes me want to skip past what you say. It’s too bad, as the commentary on these episodes is consistently good.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

ALIEN VS PREDATOR
Q: What is your initial thoughts? What is your history with the Predator films?
I've only seen the first two Alien movies, and then I watched Alien Earth this year, and I've seen Predator, and that's it.
DIARY OF THE DEAD
Q: What did you think about the found footage aspect of this movie?
The hosts felt Romero's execution of found footage was clunky, and it limited the spontaneity often found in this style of filmmaking, leading to too much editing and less authentic reactions.
DIARY OF THE DEAD
Q: Devaughn, what do you think of your relationship with the zombie genre and Romero films in particular?
Devaughn shares that he's not usually a fan of zombie movies, citing a lack of variety among them. However, he appreciates found footage films, which is why he agreed to join the discussion for this one.
WRONG TURN (2021)
Q: What made you want to guest on the reboot?
Kat expresses her long-standing love for the original Wrong Turn film and her excitement for the reboot's fresh approach.
WRONG TURN 3: LEFT FOR DEAD
Q: What are your initial thoughts on Wrong Turn 3?
This one's a pretty rough watch. There is a good chunk of it that's just loud screaming. It doesn't hold up as well as the first two.
