Five horror movies, two guys, no patience for filler.
Kevin and Brian call themselves The Horror Guys, and each episode they review five horror movies, putting new releases like Scream 7 next to older oddities such as 1986's Monster Dog. The podcast is the short, joke-filled version of reviews they publish in full, with all the spoilers, at HorrorWeekly.com.

Horror Weekly is a horror film review podcast with a simple, steady shape: Kevin and Brian, who go by The Horror Guys on air, talk through five movies they have watched. Five is the normal number, they say, and when there are no shorts that week they mention it. The picks don't stay in one lane. A hyped new release like Scream 7 shares the show with 2026 titles such as Dead Lover and The Kinderhook Creature, older curiosities like 1986's Monster Dog and 2009's The Hills Run Red, and the odd documentary-style monster film. They work through franchises over several episodes: the Godzilla films, including an anime trilogy, overlap with the Silent Hill movies and The Strangers chapters. A review often starts with the credits (director, writers, cast, sometimes the running time and the poster's tagline), and then the two take turns retelling the plot. The recaps are detailed enough to follow one motel-set story room by room. Then the verdicts arrive, and they are not shy. They dismiss The Strangers Chapter 2 as a film made entirely of the draggy middle part many horror movies have. The joke is that splitting the story in three mainly let audiences pay for admission three times. Stranded gets a crack about the worst-trained astronauts ever, and a credit list full of people named Christian prompts the question of whether it is a Christian movie. Most of the humour is wordplay and deadpan asides, and The Hills Run Red gets a show-tune pun. Praise is just as direct. Entertaining is a word they use as praise, and they cheerfully call one film pure fan service that throws in everything it can. They call a near-wordless, dreamlike film about a grieving man a nightmare on film and, to their own surprise, relaxing. Some of it gets rough: one discussion quotes a revolting romantic monologue, delivered with amused disbelief. The pair present the podcast as the short version of a bigger operation. Full synopses with every spoiler are on HorrorWeekly.com and in a free weekly email, and they also plug the Horror Monthly print magazine and a review archive at HorrorGuys.com where you can look up a title. Episodes close by looking ahead. Sometimes that is a themed batch, like a run of nature-gone-wild movies full of bugs, frogs and spiders, and sometimes it is an admission that the upcoming list has slipped their minds. Then comes the same sign-off from Brian and Kevin. A listener gets straight verdicts on several films at once from two people who have plainly watched a great many. It works best as a screening list for the next horror night, strange picks included.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants frank, lightly jokey takes on a mix of new horror releases and older oddities, and who likes to hear the plot before deciding whether to watch. Also fits someone working through franchises such as Godzilla, Silent Hill or The Strangers.
What sets it apart: The podcast is the spoken side of a bigger written review operation, backed by full spoiler synopses online, a free email and a print magazine. Each episode covers five films at once, often mixing brand-new titles with decades-old curiosities and with franchise entries worked through over several episodes.

Kevin and Brian use this five-film horror run to sort the worthwhile side roads from the shakier franchise miles. The clearest target is The Strangers Chapter Two, treated as a sluggish middle chapter that might have worked better at a much leaner length.

["Brian and Kevin review five horror and science-fiction titles: Death Name, Cold Storage, Stranded, Monster Dog, and Godzilla: The Planet Eater.", "Cold Storage, directed by Johnny Campbell from a David Koepp script and starring Georgina Campbell, Joe Curie, and Liam Neeson, gets their strongest praise for its fungus outbreak, body horror, and comic casting.", "Stranded, with Christian Slater on a moon base hit by meteors and an alien spore, earns points for effects but gets hit for constant quarantine mistakes.", "Death Name, Monster Dog, and Godzilla: The Planet Eater land weaker, with a Korean-family curse story that feels slow, a badly dubbed Alice Cooper vehicle, and an anime Godzilla finish dominated by philosophy and religion talk."]
Kevin and Brian review five horror titles: Bone Keeper, Dead Lover, The Kinderhook Creature in the Shadow of Sasquatch, The Strangers Chapter 3, and Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle.
