One of my favorite podcasts lately. I'm the type who reads the movie synopsis when I'm curious about a horror movie that I do not want to see. And what better way to indulge my curiosity and find my preferences in the horror genre than listen to Jeffrey and Cecil talk about horror movies. Funny, insightful and enjoyable regardless of the movie up for discussion.

I was unimpressed with the first episode that I listened to (#175, Last Night in Soho), because I felt that it was uninspired and lacked direction. But I listened to #156 (The Craft) and really, really enjoyed it. Hardly any more direction than Last Night in Soho, but the conversation was much more engaging. I also appreciated their approach to discussing race & racism in the episode about the Craft. White people discussing race can sometimes feel performative, surface level, or not offering the gravity the topic deserves - but I really appreciated that the hosts & guest explicitly discussed the racist bullying that Rochelle experiences, offering the situation the appropriate amount of condemnation that it deserves, while also offering some background & a (brief) exploration of the racism surrounding the movie's marketing & casting - all without getting too preachy about it. Very well done.But these episodes are way too long. Why is the podcast longer than the movie? Pls.
