The Wicked Wild Podcast is a movie and television series review show--published bi-weekly--that focuses on horror and thriller stories within the folk, cosmic, science fiction, survival, and wilderness subgenres. Our crew will get together to laugh, rant
The Wicked Wild Podcast is an engaging and entertaining podcast that dives into the world of folk, cosmic, and survival horror movies. Hosted by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic team, this podcast takes listeners on a wild journey through various horror genres. While there are moments where the pace becomes choppy and conversations speed up, reminiscent of the movie "The Rules of Attraction," overall, The Wicked Wild Podcast remains an enjoyable listen for fans of horror cinema.
One of the best aspects of The Wicked Wild Podcast is the depth of knowledge displayed by the hosts. Their passion for horror movies shines through in each episode as they delve into different themes and subgenres within the horror genre. Whether discussing folk horror films like "The Witch" or cosmic horrors such as "Annihilation," their analysis is both informative and thought-provoking. The hosts offer insightful commentary on narrative techniques, visual storytelling, and character development, allowing listeners to gain a deeper appreciation for these films.
Furthermore, The Wicked Wild Podcast excels in creating a sense of community among its listeners. Through social media engagement and regular Q&A segments, they interact with their audience and foster a space where fans can connect with fellow enthusiasts. This adds an additional layer of enjoyment to the podcast, as listeners can share their thoughts and opinions on the movies discussed.
However, it must be noted that there are moments when the pace of conversation becomes disjointed and fast-paced. This rapid-fire style may leave some listeners feeling lost or overwhelmed at times. It would benefit from more cohesive editing to ensure a smoother listening experience. Additionally, while the podcast focuses primarily on folk/cosmic/survival horror movies, there could be room to explore other subgenres within horror to diversify content.
In conclusion, The Wicked Wild Podcast provides an exciting exploration into the world of folk/cosmic/survival horror movies. With knowledgeable hosts who display a passion for the genre, this podcast offers insightful analysis and creates a sense of community among its listeners. While there are moments where the pace of conversation becomes choppy and the focus on certain subgenres may limit variety, this podcast remains an enjoyable listen for horror cinema enthusiasts. Take a listen, but be prepared to navigate some occasional choppiness along the way!
