    Ivy Insights

    The NECROMANIACS PODCAST is an absolute gem for horror movie fans. Hosted by the two Mikes, who share a deep love and knowledge of the genre, this podcast goes above and beyond to bring listeners insightful breakdowns of both popular and obscure horror films. Each episode delves into the nitty-gritty details that many might miss upon first viewing, making it a must-listen for any die-hard horror fan.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the hosts' ability to unearth lesser-known horror gems. They go beyond the mainstream releases and dig into the underground scene, introducing listeners to films they may have never even heard of before. Their passion and enthusiasm for these hidden treasures is contagious, leaving listeners eager to explore more films within the genre.

    Another standout feature of NECROMANIACS is the hosts' attention to detail when it comes to sound design and score in horror movies. As musicians themselves, they understand the importance of these elements in creating an effective horror film, something often overlooked by other podcasts in the genre. This unique perspective adds another layer of depth to their discussions and sets them apart from other horror podcasts.

    While there are many great aspects to this podcast, there are a few minor drawbacks. Some episodes suffer from dodgy sound quality, which can be frustrating for listeners trying to fully immerse themselves in the discussion. However, considering that both hosts have busy lives outside of podcasting, these occasional hiccups can be overlooked in favor of the valuable content they provide.

    In conclusion, The NECROMANIACS PODCAST is a must-listen for any horror movie enthusiast looking for detailed breakdowns and recommendations within the genre. The hosts' love for all things horror shines through in every episode, making it both informative and entertaining. Despite some minor technical issues at times, this podcast remains a fantastic source of horror film analysis and discussion.
