Podcasts about thrillers

On this Episode 119 of the Daebak K-Rambles Podcast, Jess, Caitlin, and Liliana kick off Spooky SZN 2026 by crowning the best K-drama thrillers since 2020—and handing out superlatives for dramas like The Glory, Flower of Evil, and Death's Game to Karma, Somebody, Light Shop, and D.P.But what actually makes a K-drama a thriller? Does it need to keep you guessing, make you anxious, or leave you screaming? The trio gets into the increasingly broad definition of the genre while debating the best thriller since 2020, best psychological thriller, most disturbing drama, best ending, biggest plot twist, best villain, most underrated and overrated thrillers, and more. Plus: Is Squid Game overrated? Why does nobody talk about Karma, Light Shop, or Connection anymore? And does The Worst of Evil deserve all the hype?The trio also reveals the K-dramas they would defend to the death, the ones they would never watch again (“I need to bleach my brain”), the shows everyone else loves but they simply cannot get behind, and their No. 1 blind spots—the thrillers they really should have watched by now. Whether you're looking for your next K-drama thriller recommendation, debating the best Korean thrillers of the 2020s, or just here for the discussion, join us for favorites, hot takes, controversial opinions, shocking twists, traumatizing endings, and a whole lot of “WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?!”GUEST: LilianaTea & Soju Asian Drama Podcast: Available on Spotify, Google, AppleInstagram: @teaandsojupodTikTok: @teaandsojupod  GUEST: CaitlinNoSleep4Dramas Podcast: Available on Spotify, Google, AppleWebsite: nosleep4dramas.comInstagram: @nosleep4dramasTikTok: @nosleep4dramas  Intro Music Credit: "Golden Coconut Club" by Tearliner, from the Cheese in the Trap OST.

Step into the restless, glittering and deeply unequal London of 1904 with author, screenwriter and director Mario Theodorou, creator of the Felix Grey Mysteries.Mario joins Hazel to explore the Edwardian capital behind his historical thrillers: a city of political power, royal intrigue, rapid technological change and growing demands for social reform. At the heart of the novels is Felix Grey, an idealistic and inexperienced young Prime Minister drawn into dangerous mysteries of abduction, conspiracy and corruption.Together, Hazel and Mario travel across Edwardian London—from Downing Street, Parliament and Buckingham Palace to Fleet Street, the Savoy, the Tower of London, Bow, Old Kent Road and Sailortown. They discuss gentleman's clubs and imperial power, the changing character of the capital, workers' rights, the Bryant & May matchwomen, suffrage, the press, secret passages, and the tension between the old Victorian order and a more modern, uncertain future.Mario also shares how his film background shapes the sensory world of his fiction, from the smell of ink on Fleet Street to the energy of the docks, and why he hopes readers will begin to see London as a lived-in city of overlapping stories rather than simply a tourist destination.A richly atmospheric conversation for anyone who loves Edwardian London, historical fiction, political intrigue and the hidden histories beneath the city's streets.London History Podcast Website

On Episode 158 of The Film '89 Podcast, we're joined once again by our very good friend and frequent guest-host, filmmaker and podcast producer, Kyle Reardon, to discuss, for its 40th anniversary, a cult classic film we've wanted to cover for some time now, starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Jason Leigh, it's director Robert Harmon's multi-genre-straddling cult classic, The Hitcher.Released in 1986, The Hitcher was the brainchild of screenwriter Eric Red, whose initial inspiration for the story of a young man being stalked by a murderous hitchhiker was The Doors' song, Riders on the Storm. A commercial failure upon its initial theatrical release, The Hitcher was one of several films from the 1980s that died in theatres only to find a second life on home video. Much like John Carpenter's The Thing and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, The Hitcher benefited from positive word of mouth at video stores and became very much a cult classic. Skye and Kyle delve deep into the film, they discuss its refusal to hold the audience's hand and the huge scope for interpretation as to the motivation of Rutger Hauer's psychotic John Ryder. Beautifully shot and impeccably directed, with a haunting score by Mark Isham, The Hitcher is a film that's aged like a fine wine and one ripe for the in-depth Film ‘89 treatment. All content is the property of Film ‘89 and is protected under applicable copyright laws.

George Sluizer's The Vanishing Imagine Not Knowing. Imagine the struggle to move on if the person you love disappears from your life. In 1988 Dutch filmmaker George Sluizer would make one of the most subtle, tense, and troubling Thrillers cinema has known. The Vanishing  (originally released with the Dutch title, Spoorloos) is the story of a couple whose lives are mysteriously and tragically upended when the girlfriend disappears during a road trip . . . Without a Trace. The beauty of Sluizer's film is that we as the audience know exactly what has happened and are forced to watch the sadistic game of a amateur kidnapper and killer as he satiates his desire to plan, carry through, and discover his talent for kidnapping and murder. All the while, we watch the husband lose his mind as he continually obsesses over what has happened to her coupled with his desperate and futile attempts to find her. Obsession and Guilt are paralleled  with Intricate Planning, Patience, and Seizing of Opportunity. A story of abduction and obsession that is neither exploitative nor gratuitous, but is simply a realistic presentation of how it would happen. Culminating in one of the most disturbing and hopeless endings in all of cinema, The Vanishing is a powerful and thought-provoking film. Take a listen and let us know what you think.

With over 150 pre-orders across eight countries for her upcoming book, All We Have Is Money, she proves that independent authors can cultivate a thriving international fanbase through organic word-of-mouth and targeted social media content. The discussion spans a variety of topics such as character creation, the realities of modern book marketing, the shifts within dark romance and erotica genres, and why self-published authors must embrace authentic self-promotion. Lauren offers advice for aspiring writers on pushing through the difficulties of drafting and editing, pushing past the fear of self-promotion, and finding personal satisfaction in finishing a project.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Tim Mulligan, award-winning playwright, author, and creator of Mulligan World, where psychological suspense, supernatural horror, crime, dark humor, and the stranger sides of human nature come together. Mulligan's stories deliberately inhabit those uncomfortable places where morality becomes uncertain and the boundary separating reality from nightmare begins to disappear. His creative work encompasses stage plays, psychological thrillers, and an expanding collection of graphic novels. At the center of Tim's work is the eerie universe of Witchland, which began as a stage production and evolved into a multi-part graphic novel series. Set around Richland, Washington, the stories draw upon the unsettling legacy of the nearby Hanford nuclear site, combining radioactive contamination, buried secrets, government intrigue, supernatural forces, mutation, and paranoia. Titles including Witchland, Snitchland, Twitchland, and Ditchland progressively expand this strange mythology, while Switchland, scheduled as the concluding installment, reaches back toward Hanford's early days and incorporates mysterious aerial phenomena and conspiracy into the saga. During this fascinating conversation, Rob and Tim explore the inspiration behind Witchland, the transformation of stories from theatrical productions into graphic novels, and Tim's ability to mix genuine historical concerns with fictional horror. They'll discuss whistleblowers, nuclear contamination, unexplained phenomena, government secrecy, monsters, UFOs, and the fears that arise when people begin wondering whether something disturbing could be hiding beneath an otherwise ordinary community. Snitchland, for example, draws inspiration from stories involving whistleblowers associated with Hanford and combines those themes with ghosts, suspense, corruption, and the consequences of exposing dangerous secrets. Whether you're fascinated by ghost stories, UFOs, government conspiracies, nuclear mysteries, psychological horror, graphic novels, or the darker corners of human nature, this episode of The 'X' Zone Radio Show takes listeners into a world where history and imagination collide. Join Rob McConnell and Tim Mulligan as they enter Mulligan World—where the frightening question isn't simply whether monsters exist, but whether sometimes we create the monsters ourselvesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

We hope you enjoyed our last episode with filmmaker and novelist Mikel Wisler, because that was just the beginning. In this episode, we talk about his recently-released time thriller, “Stop.” Here's a look at what's in store: When Jake Howell returns to his childhood home after his mother's death, he finds a trove of his late father's research into six locations in rural Maine where time parts ways with our conventional understanding of physics. Among the notebooks and reels of 16mm film his father used to document in work is a twenty-year-old reel of film that Jake was never supposed to see. On the film: Jake—as he is now—attacking his own father the day he vanished.  Determined to uncover the truth, Jake inadvertently draws the attention of local police. Now Jake must prove his innocence while trying to understand this radical breakthrough in physics. The deeper he goes, the more the real question surfaces: if the past is real and observable, can it be changed? And if it can, should it be? Mikel and I are a couple science nerds and we dive into the time travel that is used here and how it came to be. Mikel talks about the creation of Jake Howell and the paradox he finds himself stuck in. We also share how Mikel approaches the “big questions” and what has come from this exploration. Check out the last episode at https://tinyurl.com/ad7evynu. There's more to come, so be sure to keep it here for Part 3, and visit http://www.mikelwisler.com/ for more!

From Edgar-award winning and New York Times best-selling author Tiffany D. Jackson Last summer, Tiffany D. Jackson published her middle-grade debut Blood in the Water, which became an instant New York Times bestseller, debuting at #4 and has spent a total of 10 weeks on the list. The novel's success continued this spring when Tiffany received the 2026 Edgar Award for Best Juvenile Book. Now, the “Queen of Thrillers” returns with her sophomore middle-grade mystery—this time set beneath the moss-draped trees of Savannah, Georgia. In GHOST IN THE NIGHT, Jackson transports readers to Savannah, famously known as America's Most Haunted City, where twelve-year-old Harmony's fascination with ghosts turns chilling as she's pulled into a missing-persons case that will expose deadly secrets. Harmony arrives in Savannah, GA for the summer with her musician father while still dealing with the unresolved emotions around her grandmother's passing. As they travel from city to city, Harmony insists on one non-negotiable activity everywhere they go: a ghost tour. Desperate to prove that ghosts are real, she hopes evidence of the supernatural will mean her loved ones are never truly gone. But when the ghost tour in Savannah leads Harmony and her new friends into a dangerous mystery, what begins as a search for spirits quickly becomes something more sinister. As Harmony digs deeper, she uncovers a tangled web of lies and dark secrets that someone is willing to kill over to keep hidden.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Ashley Winstead IS BACK!  Gare and I ask all our burning questions about Hot Girl Murder Club. Listen to hear about: How Ashley Winstead wrote Hot Girl Murder Club as an act of creative defiance. Ashley shares the publishing and Hollywood conversations that told her feminist revenge stories were "over"—and why that made her determined to write one anyway.  The surprising inspiration behind the novel's unique structure. Ashley discusses how Dune, historical dissertations, Patty Hearst, and mythic storytelling shaped the book, including an early version that was set decades in the future. A deep dive into celebrity culture, parasocial relationships, and internet outrage. The conversation explores why public opinion swings so dramatically, the complexity of figures like Lena Dunham, and how social media has changed the way we judge people. Why stories about women's anger, friendship, and justice are resonating right now. We discuss sisterhood, feminist thrillers, revenge narratives, and why readers still crave these conversations despite industry assumptions. How gossip, pop culture, and "frothy" entertainment can be surprisingly political. From celebrity scandals to folklore and urban legends, Ashley explains why seemingly light stories often become powerful vehicles for social commentary.
