Specter Cinema Club

Film Reviews #166

The ghosts of your horror movie club explore a different sub-genre each month! Featuring creators from the spooky community, stoner filmmaker DeVaughn Taylor & film journalist Garrett McDowell discuss the recurring motifs of various sub-genres and what makes the best genre films work. New episodes every Tuesday!NOTE: We recommend starting at Season 2 (Ep60) as that's when Garrett joined and began our current format. Season 1 was the experimental phase hahaNOTE: The first 99 episodes, we were under "Bloody Blunts" however the show didn't change, so Season 3 is where we continued as "Specter Cinema"

    Authentic and thoughtful horror commentary
    I first heard DeVaughn on Evolution of Horror and appreciated his commentary. I’ve really enjoyed diving into the Specter Cinema catalogue and have found Garrett to be equally insightful. My one constructive criticism is that I would love to hear you give more space to your guests. I often want to hear more from your guests but feel like they often don’t get much airtime. Thanks for providing great, down-to-earth horror content.

    A laugh can be a very powerful thing
    Two lovely, warm, funny, insightful, and intelligent humans talking horror movies. Couldn’t ask for more.

    Gold
    These two have a wonderful dynamic. Their discussions are lovely, insightful and fun dives into the many sub genres of horror. The kind of show that makes you want to watch and enjoy movies again.

    Terrible Opinion On Aliens
    Terrible opinion on “Aliens,” but at least the rest of the episodes are a very fun listen.

    Bloody Blunts Cinema Club F***ing Rocks!
    Long-time listener first time reviewer, I’ve been listening to Devaughn since his early days and I truly adore how much love this man has for such a underappreciated classification of moviemaking. The BBCC is a great way to engage in the community of horror lovers and they make you feel welcomed as they present an engaging listen through casual conversation; wether they are holding a film up on a pedestal or ripping it apart, the BBCC is my favorite weekly escape.

    The Casual Horror Talk I Need
    Love podcast. It has such a casual, relaxed vibe that I enjoy so much. Don’t get me wrong, they still dive into some great thoughts and insights into these films. But, it is a mellow, peaceful addition to my podcast listening every week.
