    Awesome
    Hey!!! Love this podcast it broadens my horizon on my history and true crime knowledge as-well as giving me more horror movies to watch in my free time and this is exactly what I've been looking for to keep me busy thank you for that!!

    Sound quality
    Iwas looking forward to listening to this podcast but found it was distracting trying to listen to this podcast when the female quit talking and someone was talking in the background but couldn’t hear a single word that was said - disorganized to say the least

    Not good - Too much talking & giggling
    Title doesn’t match podcast. There’s a very short talk about the movie then the behind the movie doesn’t talk about what the movie was based on but merely talk about other movies actor’s starred in and other movies the directors made. That doesn’t equal behind the scenes to me.

    Yikes
    I tried listening to this and couldn’t get through her odd giggling and his droning voice.

    Great show combining 2 of my favorite interests
    I love this show, and hope you can release episodes more often.

    Party monster
    Your episode on Michael Alig and the club kids was good except for the miss pronouncing of Alig and also Peter Gatien. I would research the way they are pronounced first. It should not have been a big deal but hearing it miss pronounced over and over was a bit distracting. Otherwise good episode

    So happy I found you!!
    I have been enjoying the show so much. Love your voices and banter. Topics are so very interesting. Keep up the good work!

    Vocal fry
    I just started listening to this and I had to stop it. The male host draws out the words and has vocal fry to a point that I just can’t listen to it. The content seems good but I can’t get past the narration.
  • Salenelle
    True Crime Giggle Fest?
    What’s to giggle about? Where is the hilarity in describing heinous crimes? If you’re not going to take the topic seriously, I’m glad other podcast hosts do. “I LOVVVVE TRUE CRIME!” This is some cringeworthy copy.

    Amazing
    The stories are so amazing and juicy
  • Listener FL
    Ugh!
    Yes, I can read Wikipedia too. The hosts have absolutely no rapport, and the first episode is technically inept, as one of the cohosts appears to be in a different room with no microphone. The hosts are also too willing to believe the hocus-pocus nonsense in horror movies like the Exorcist and the Amityville Horror, which are not based on true crimes but on inventive opportunists looking to sell a story. Try True Crime Garage or Vanished if you’re looking for a good, true crime podcast. Actually, just about every true crime program I’ve listened to is an improvement over this garbage.
  • shellrae
    Yuk
    One listen and I’m done. They read of wiki or whatever. No rapport between hosts. The good reviews must be family and friends this is NOT a good true crime p cast. Check our true crime garage, crime junkie, true crime all the time. These are good shows. You will soon forget this junk
  • Cali Girli
    Her laugh is cringe!
    The female’s laugh is annoying as crap! I couldn’t make it through one episode. It is so cringe! She needs to mature a little before she tries to do a podcast, like seriously! And I’m beginning to think the 5-star reviewers are merely their friends and family because who in their right mind can tolerate them and their annoying voices and cringe-worthy laughter!?!?
  • Ylaci d
    Sweet Surprise
    Cool mix of true crime and the movies based on the crime. Not usually my type of podcast but I enjoy the hosts!
  • Natarita
    Love love love
    These two have a really great dynamic and their voices are super pleasant. I really enjoy that they do a variety of different true crime movies and it’s awesome to have both movie facts and the crime facts. It’s an interesting duality. A really fun listen, if you like true crime and movies, this podcast is for you!
  • ulirot
    Ugh
    I think this is a great idea and I wish I could listen to it but I just can’t do Chelsea’s laugh. Not because it’s at weird times but just the noise or it.
  • Jayde fuller
    With it from the beginning
    This is a AWSOME podcast it took my 2 hours to look for a podcast that I want but it all ended here so thank you it is awesome 👏😆😈🤡💀💩

    Really good if you can not read Wikipedia yourself.
  • lauraa142
    Not very good
    Who is talking In the back ground and what is he saying? The audio is horrible. Next podcast ..
  • crimeobsessed
    I enjoy it
    Once you get past the first episodes, this podcast becomes pretty good. The concept is very unique and I enjoy it.
  • Steffunnysue
    Not worth the time
    Really poorly put together and they are really long winded. Don’t really care about your opinion just would like to hear the story and really the nervous laughter after you say something really is annoying.
  • ZilRanrag
    Fun but...
    Please fix your audio
  • TrueCrime Fan
    Meh
    I enjoyed the topic at first, but then too much chit chat. I want to hear the story, not the opinions of the talkers.
  • TiffTrecy
    ??
    You can't hear half of the podcast...I hear vague talking far away don't know who it is or what they are saying. Can't even keep up with it.
  • Tonya Schaan
    Deleted from my feed 😢
    I really like the concept of this podcast but the delivery and inane chatter and giggling of the hosts really turns me off. Sorry
  • suz-e-queue
    Concept is great... but...
    Listening today to the Party Monster podcast I found myself turning up the volume to hear the fellow and turning it back down when the gal spoke... also, at the beginning it sounded like reading a term paper, not a discussion. Mispronunciations of names and not even trying to pronounce Chloe Sevigny’s name indicates to me that the fella didn’t do such a basic thing in broadcasting, finding out! Finally, the flippant comment about how old people in their 60’s wouldn’t get the club kid world is patently ridiculous.
  • fasthoundz
    Be professional
    I want to listen to this podcast series, I really do but the delivery of the story along with annoying voices makes me want to unsubscribe.
  • AndysMami
    Love you
    This is a great podcast to listen to on a daily basis just going through daily life.
  • doggos are doghos
    Good story awesome people
    I love that you have horror and murder stories in one big podcast. I love that you talk with emotion and don’t just talk like you have had a long day in a cubicle and had to make a podcast.
  • Mr I Wrote That
    Sorry
    I’m sure they’re very nice and smart people, but I can’t get past the way they present, which sounds too much like they’re reading off the script they wrote for themselves. They sound at once insecure and overconfident. They’re really in to being podcasters, they probably very hard on their show, but the writing lacks the kind if details that would bring scenes to life, and the reading of it is neither casual enough (see: Hollywood Crime Scene) nor rehearsed enough (see: Kingpins). Sorry.

    Favorite podcast!
    This podcast got me hooked on podcasts! I love listening to the episodes while jogging or walking each morning. Can’t get enough. Love the friendly banter :)
  • Chaunee09
    Passing my work day sucked into true crime
    I love this podcast and the relationship between Chelsea and David. Most definitely relationship goals!
  • socalaunt
    Awesome
    I enjoy your podcast very much. I like the little details you give and comparisons to the movies.
  • Hooverpaleface
    The back and forth is terrible
    If they are discussing things, then yes, I would welcome both voices, but the girl is basically half laughing when she says things and has a terribly annoying voice. Overall, I don't think the podcast is done well.
  • kidneydonorjesus
    Well done
    I really enjoy his podcast. It combines true crime and cinema in a very concise and entertaining way. Keep up the good work!

    Love the movie and true crime mix!
  • Madddmaxx
    AMAZING!!!
    I’m so so in love with this podcast!!! You guys are amazing!!!
  • kariokee
    Murder
    If you murder anyone does it matter if you’re mentally ill or not. I don’t think the person who dies with their family cares whether the person who killed them is mentally ill or not they shouldn’t see the light of day

    True Crime Awesomeness
    I love books, movies, and crime tales. Stumbling on this podcast has combined all 3, and I love it! You guys are awesome, likeable & thorough. THANK YOU for this different take on True Crime! I am so terribly excited about catching up on all your episodes!! If can leave one small request, it'd be to PLEASE read your printouts slower. It's not for lack of comprehension, it's just harder to enjoy, & I feel like I'm being read AT, instead of to. If that makes sense. The 2nd half where you just talk & analyze is SOO much more normal. It was this stark contrast that led me to realize you had to have been reading the 1st half. I thought it'd be easier to adjust to if I listened more, but I found myself fast forwarding past the reading to the talking each time. I'm missing all the good stuff, though 😟. Anyway! Love you guys, love the show; I'm looking forward to being a supporter and forever fan! (Pls know my request above is an observation/request, not a critique! 😀☺️)

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Great podcast! I love the dynamic between the couple. Listen to this podcast!!!
  • CaliCat03
    Where has this been all my life?!
    UPDATE: still in my top 3 favorite podcasts! Love you guys so much! I can't believe it took me this long to find such an awesome podcast!!! This podcast literally takes two of my favorite things (true crime and horror movies) and meshes them together! I love the dialogue of Chelsea and David especially with the interesting manner in which they discuss the pop culture aspect of true crime and movies! I love the creative approach you two have taken and can't wait to binge on the rest of your episodes! -Heather (Nature vs Narcissism & Status Pending Podcasts)

    I’m only leaving 5 cuz I can’t leave 6
    TOTALLY UNIQUE CONCEPT! love hearing about true crime stories and also getting some film history and background! Two of my passions! :)
  • andie2018
    Love!
    Combining my love of true crime and horror/thriller movies. Love the chemistry, and I’m only slightly jealous because my husband doesn’t enjoy true crime with me. Love the podcast! :)
  • Raycab1993
    Love it!
    I stumbled upon this podcast after I caught up all of my other ones. I LOVE THESE!! David and Chelsea are amazing! Their chemistry is great! I love the way you both interact and love each other! Keep it up!

    Vocal Fry Guy?!

  • CadeyG0929
    Based on true events
    I stumbled across this podcast while looking for something similar to serial. I gave this one a listen and haven’t been able to listen to anything else since! I have a list in my phone of horror films I need to go back and watch to look for the things discussed in the podcast. You guys are awesome and made me realize how much I enjoy the art of horror films! Especially those based on true events.
  • Vinnfett
    Excellent.
    The perfect blend of everything I love. True crime and Horror movies. Great subject matters, easy to listen too and always a good time.
  • RandiMichele
    Movies + True Crime = This Awesome Podcast
    Just found this podcast while searching for more info on Andre Rand... so glad my True Crime obsession led me here. Early episode issues of sound quickly are resolved into a well organized listen. Great chemistry and story telling made this an easy add to my ‘Favorites’ list. Keep up the great work...and would love to see you cover the 2001 movie Bully based off of the murder of Bobby Kent. Think this would make a ridiculously interesting podcast!
