Horror Movie Talk

Hosted by Horror Movie Talk

An opinionated and accidentally funny horror movie review show where a panel of hosts dissects new and old horror films.

The brief

A panel discussion show where a trio of hosts gives their spoiler-free thoughts and a 1-10 score on a horror movie before taking a break and diving into a full, spoiler-filled breakdown. The hosts' chemistry is central, with frequent comedic asides, personal anecdotes, and spirited disagreements on a film's quality. It's less a formal critique and more like listening to knowledgeable friends argue about horror films.

The show's key distinction is its structured but chaotic format, strictly separating spoiler-free and spoiler-filled sections while allowing for freewheeling, often hilarious, conversations and tangents. The dynamic of the hosts providing wildly different review scores for the same movie is a recurring and central feature.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Horror Movie Talk interviews

Horror Movie Talk is a review and discussion show, not a guest-interview-based podcast. The rare episodes featuring a guest are informal conversations between friends and collaborators, such as the 'Giganto' episode where a host discusses a short film project with his friend who made it.

This is a co-hosted panel review show, not an interview podcast. Episodes begin with an intro montage of clips from past shows, followed by a spoiler-free review and scores. A distinct "Spoilers" sound effect signals the transition to the in-depth plot discussion. The hosts often end with a game segment and regularly shout out their Patreon supporters and resident artist, Dustin Gobel.
