We went to check out our podcast recently only to find a similar podcast had been built by the government for making synthetic food.
We're not sure so we've watched Quatermass 2 to check it out. Paul has watched the original serial and nit picks the differences whilst Chris has a rather controversial opinion about this film. Tune in to find out what that is!

This episode we interview comedian and horror fan @elf_lyons about her new show Raven. We also talk horror, Stephen King, whether Italian Horror films help with grief, difficulties of sourcing watermelons out of season and a bit about chopping off dicks. It's lovelier than that sounds.
Her show sounds amazing so you can check out her tour dates and buy tickets from her website https://www.theelflyons.com/

Whilst we are in between regular episodes, we thought it would be fun to share this abandoned episode from March 2017, where we review every Hammer film listed in the book The Hammer Story. Chris had bought a new microphone and we were trying to work out how to record two microphones on one laptop. We thought we'd found a solution and used a bit of software we thought was free. Unbeknownst to us it was only free for about 15 minutes, after that it started to insert the word TRIAL into the recording.
We abandoned it but its quite fun so I thought we'd share it.
