refreshing, new, and looking forward to more

I don't really like writing reviews but this podcast was a pleasant surprise so I just have to . I caught wind of this show on Twitter and decided to give it a listen. I was hooked! They only have a handful of episodes so far but they talk about some great movies. I think it's best enjoyed by listeinig to each episode after you've watched the movie. That way it feels like you've watched a movie and then chatted with your friends about it. So, first the good...

This crew has a unique perspective in that they're clearly all very different and have different levels of knowledge/love for horror flicks. I've listened to a lot of horror podcasts, and most of them are either people pretending to be something they're not (MOVIE EXPERTS), or they're just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper negative and bash the movie and all the choices the chracaters make. This group seems to be be pretty well balanced in that if one person hates it, someone else probably loves it. I also got the vibe that they all have different preferences for horror types, so it's interesting to see how each person feels about a movie even if it's not their favorite subgenera. I also like that they don't describe every little thing that happens in the movie like a play-by-play, and instead they seem to answer mostly similar, kinda high level questions about each movie. If I wanna listen to a pdocast, I don't wanna feel like I'm watching the whole daggum movie!

Now the bad...

It's not a perfect show, but it seems like they're progressively getting better so they still get a five star score in my book. It's kinda annoying when Leah doesn't have an opinion about anything that isn't either her sayin somethings stupid, someone or something their wearing is ugly, or blindly agreeing with whtever Dan says. Maybe I should try that with my wife?? LOL

Sometimes it seems like she has an opinion she'll stick to, but then someone else will say something and she just flops over to agreeing with them. The only episode that feels like she has her own opinons in is IT, and its cause she read the book. Give us more of that!!!!!!! Dan, Kris, and Ashley all tend to have thoughtful feedback and care abotu what they're doing, so that keeps me going. Overall, not a huge ding on the show, but defiinitely something that gets a little annoying. Other than that the chemistry is great and entertaining.

All in all, this is a great show with great potential and great people behind it. Seems like they're all real horror fans (I think Leah has it down in there somewhere) and best of all they're doing it without trying to make money off of it by slamming ads in and asking people to donate $$$ to them. Horror fans loving horror movies and sharing it with the world is a good thing for everyone! Looking forward to hearing how they keep getting better.
