Every Horror Fan Should Listen

This show is a fantastic deep dive into one of the greatest horror movies you’ve probably never heard of. It’s a fascinating look at the industry, the process of making a movie, and how it affects the lives of those involved. Give this a listen, and go find the movie that it’s about. Both are well worth your time.

Outstanding deep dive on an obscure 80s gem

As a film obsessive, every little scrap of inside knowledge is pure gold, and when it comes to Neon Maniacs, this is Fort Knox. Highly recommended!
