Super enjoyable
Loved it! Really enjoyed the background/root explanations of popular/classic films throughout the years. Highly recommend!
LOVE!
Really any Shudder documentary is worth a watch, this series is no different. A lot of great interview choices (Bill Hader, Milly Shapiro, famous/iconic horror directors, etc) and great exploration of the sub genres, though I could watch multiple episodes of each. Several people have pointed out here and in the uncut podcast version that the worst part is Eli Roth and...yeah. I appreciate that they gave a platform to trans folks and critical scholars to discuss Dressed To Kill because whew, there’s a lot there - I thought they handled the entire discussion well.
Loved this! I'm hoping for new seasons.
