    Ivy Insights

    The But Make It Scary podcast is a highly entertaining and unique concept that takes beloved romantic comedies and transforms them into spine-chilling horror stories. Hosted by Sequoia, along with a variety of guests, each episode explores a different rom-com and reimagines it with terrifying twists and turns. The execution of this concept is absolutely brilliant, as Sequoia and her guests come up with wild ideas that turn these typically light-hearted films into the best horror movies of all time.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the creativity and humor that Sequoia and her guests bring to each episode. They have a knack for coming up with unexpected and hilarious plot twists that completely alter the original story in the most horrifying yet comical way possible. Their ability to transform romantic fluff into terrifying tales keeps listeners engaged and entertained throughout every episode. Additionally, Sequoia's hosting skills are top-notch, creating an enjoyable atmosphere where listeners can laugh along with her as she delves into these twisted narratives.

    In terms of drawbacks, there really aren't many when it comes to The But Make It Scary podcast. However, one thing to note is that some episodes may not resonate as strongly if you haven't seen the original rom-com being discussed. While Sequoia does provide a brief synopsis of each film at the beginning of the episode, having prior knowledge or familiarity with the source material can enhance the listening experience. That being said, even if you haven't seen the specific movie being dissected, the creativity and humor in each episode are still worth tuning in for.

    In conclusion, The But Make It Scary podcast is an absolute gem for fans of horror and comedy alike. With its clever concept, hilarious execution, and fantastic host, it offers a unique twist on both romantic comedies and horror stories. Whether you're a die-hard horror fan or just enjoy comedic banter, this podcast will undoubtedly keep you entertained and eager for each new episode. So, if you're looking for a podcast that will make you laugh out loud while simultaneously sending shivers down your spine, look no further than The But Make It Scary podcast.
