    THE BEST
    samm is brilliant charles is funny they are fabulous
  • Scampoli25
    One Weak Link
    Love the two other hosts but this Charles guy is exhausting to listen to and doesn’t bring anything interesting to the conversation. Along with swearing every other word and steamrolling the other hosts to ramble incoherently. Please get rid of him
  • I Hope You Suffer Podcast
    One of the best genre film podcasts
    The absolute destruction this podcast is doing to my Letterboxd watchlist is staggering. Almost every episode, they talk about at least 5 movies that I need to see and add to my watchlst and they always end up being incredible. Samm, Charlie, and Jon are full of knowledge and have a great dynamic together and always make me laugh. I can't recommend Twitch Of The Death Nerve enough.
  • Larry Gengrich
    Outstanding
    The term “film scholar” gets thrown around a lot, but Samm Deighan is the real deal (I’ve been a fan since I first heard her talking “Audrey Rose” with the late Mike McPadden and sharing their disdain for MST3K idiots.) Every episode I learn something, not just about the movies discussed but about the larger context. The group has a great rapport and they manage to be funny even when discussing some pretty gnarly stuff.
  • zozofog
    A favorite podcast
    Found so many movies to watch. Engaging funny.
  • Ranch Dressing Hobbyist
    I Finally Understand Parasocial Relationships
    Condiment and Jokes aside everyone here is super KNOWLEDGABLE in cult and genre cinema. Each ep is a treasure trove of reccs. You know a film podcast is a gem when they find away to insert Cat III references in almost every episode!
  • Guam Plucus
    Brilliant
    Knowledgeable, insightful, funny, and in-depth. These people share their deep love of psychotropic film by giving out weekly movie recommendations. I love that they give you clear context for why these movies are important and how they were made. Easily my favorite podcast to listen to every week.
  • James Iijima-Sch
    Fantastic!
    Great podcast. Samm Deighan is always great and very knowledgeable and there is fantastic chemistry between all three. Probably my favorite new podcast of the last year.
  • Laura EI
    One of my favorite podcasts
    Knowledgeable entertaining hosts that give me exactly what I want in a podcast: movies I’ve never heard of, movies I love, plenty of laughs and tons of interesting info about every aspect of the films.
  • Mark Doombringer
    Quality Hang
    This is probably my favorite podcast rn but I also get weirdly frustrated cause it feels so much like I’m just hanging with friends talking about movies that I keep wanting to chime in and can’t
  • Gleebarf
    Learn something and be entertained!
    A trifecta of knowledgeable hosts will guide you through the finer points of genre film excellence should you do the right thing and listen to this pod.
  • Cronton Dudley
    himbo
    The himbo co host Charles really has my number
  • Jacob9494
    Great!
    Threatening people that call every Italian horror movie a giallo is enough to give this one five stars.
