Red Flgs Podcast is casual genre-movie criticism with the brakes cut. Dave, Al, Opie, and Donnie gather around horror, sci-fi, and horror-adjacent picks, then turn each episode into a loud moving target of ratings, objections, corrections, and sideways jokes. The show has a real review spine. It cares who directed the movie, how the effects hold up, where the sequel sits in the timeline, and whether a monster’s rules make any sense. It also refuses to behave like a neat film podcast. A discussion of Alien can veer from historic influence to sleeping through a classic, then into moon-landing jokes, computer logic, and the meaning of a high score. Aliens brings out the craft talk: practical suits, HD transfers, James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, and the way older effects look when modern screens reveal every seam. Alien: Covenant and Alien 3 turn into continuity wrestling, with Prometheus, motives, terraforming, synthetic beings, and doomed people all getting pulled into the argument. Frankenstein lets the panel swing between monster empathy, brute strength, wolves and sheep, Sleep Token associations, Guillermo del Toro, and a stray blue-cheese crisis that somehow lands back on forgiveness. That is the rhythm. Specific, silly, annoyed, affectionate. Red Flgs does not chase tidy verdicts. It lets disagreement do the work, then lets the bit run until someone drags the movie back into frame. The result is best suited to listeners who already like hearing friends argue over horror movies, franchise lore, cult favorites, and the exact moment a slow movie loses the room. Its looseness is the feature. The panel knows enough to be worth following and derails often enough to keep the review from turning into homework.
Made for: Built for genre fans who like casual, opinionated movie talk more than polished criticism. Best for listeners who enjoy horror, sci-fi franchises, practical effects chatter, and panel chemistry that gets messy fast.
What sets it apart: Red Flgs stands out because the banter and the criticism are inseparable. The same conversation can handle Alien timeline logic, effects analysis, director talk, score fights, and a ridiculous tangent without losing its center.
What do an auto body tech, a welder, and a mailman have in common? The love of horror films! And of course annoying each other! Listen in as we give our wildly different views and opinions on the movies we watch, and sometimes more.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A loud Frankenstein discussion that keeps finding unexpected sympathy in the monster.
Red Flags uses Frankenstein as a springboard for a brisk, messy conversation about runtime, monster logic, and the small pockets of sympathy the novel leaves behind.
A rowdy Alien 3 chat that treats continuity tangles and sequel naming as part of the joke.
Red Flags turns Alien 3 into a noisy, joke-heavy conversation about sequel naming, ship confusion, and the ongoing tangle around Alien, Aliens, and Prometheus.
A lively 9/10 take on Aliens as the bigger, action-heavy sequel to the first film.
Dave and Opie spend the episode treating Aliens as a sequel that swaps some of the first film's spooky tension for a harder action edge. They land on the same 9 they gave the original, so the discussion stays anchored in comparison rather than a single verdict.
Alien gets scored, argued over, and pulled apart from every side.
The Red Flags crew turns Alien into a messy four-way argument over scores, influence, and who was paying attention. That friction gives the episode its shape: one host lands on six, another on five, and another pushes to nine, so the talk keeps bouncing between respect for the…
A loud Alien: Covenant rundown where franchise timeline talk keeps crashing into the jokes.
