Traumatized is a weekly podcast in which your hosts Erin Ridgeway and Jason Apple bravely re-watch the terrifying children’s media that frightened them as kids, and ask themselves, “what were our parents thinking?”
The Traumatized with Erin and Jason podcast is a nostalgic trip through some of the great films of our collective childhood. Erin and Jason are amazing hosts who bring laughter and humor to every episode. The podcast explores movies from the 80s, 90s, and beyond, allowing listeners to relive their favorite childhood memories. Whether it's reminiscing about beloved classics or diving into lesser-known gems, Erin and Jason's dynamic chemistry makes this podcast a must-listen.
The best aspect of this podcast is undoubtedly the hosts themselves. Erin and Jason are hilarious, keeping listeners entertained with their witty banter and humorous observations. They have a great rapport with each other, creating a fun atmosphere that makes each episode enjoyable to listen to. Their love for movies shines through as they discuss various films, providing interesting insights and trivia along the way.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its ability to evoke nostalgia. It brings back memories of watching these movies as children and reminds us of the impact they had on us. The hosts dive deep into the films, exploring both the positive aspects that made them enjoyable and the sometimes terrifying moments that left an impression on young viewers. It's a walk down memory lane that will resonate with any 80s kid.
However, one potential downside to this podcast is its occasional use of cursing. While some may not mind or even find it adds to the humor, others may prefer a cleaner language choice when discussing childhood films. However, this should not detract from the overall enjoyment of the show as it is only a minor complaint.
In conclusion, The Traumatized with Erin and Jason podcast is a delightful journey into the movies that shaped our childhoods. Erin and Jason's comedic chemistry combined with their love for film make for an entertaining listening experience. While some may dislike the occasional cursing throughout episodes, it does not overshadow the overall quality of this podcast. If you're looking for a podcast that combines humor, nostalgia, and a deep dive into beloved movies of the past, look no further than The Traumatized with Erin and Jason.
