A horror film, three co-hosts and plenty of detours.
Slashers is a horror film show carried by the loose back-and-forth of Mikey, Lance and a third co-host, who talk through movies like Easter Bloody Easter (2024) and Marshmallow 2025. The film sets the agenda, but the talk wanders freely into teasing, personal stories and side arguments.

Slashers is a horror film show that runs on talk rather than structure. Mikey, Lance and a third co-host take a movie and talk their way through it, and the conversation is as likely to chase a tangent as a plot point. Titles in view include Easter Bloody Easter (2024), Primate, Midnight (2021), Marshmallow 2025 and Slugs. Criticism arrives in plain terms. Marshmallow 2025 is faulted for its timing: most of the film points toward doctors harming children, the twist lands in the final minutes, and a second twist follows the first. Its two child leads draw criticism as well. Easter Bloody Easter (2024) gets a character-by-character pass, including a debate over why a best friend's remedy for heartbreak leads to the local church. The answer offered is small-town logic, where everything revolves around the church. Midnight (2021) prompts a more reflective stretch about a deaf character and how differently people treat deaf and blind people, with a personal aside about a deaf friend who reads lips. Then come the detours. In the Primate episode, the talk slides into vaccinations for pets and for the animals that pass through kennels. Marshmallow 2025 wanders into the roots of the name Pilar and ends on a story about a lookalike at the gym. Technical hiccups stay in too, such as a co-host freezing mid-introduction. Some months carry a theme. April ran as Animals Among April, while a January stretch built around books put an author at the top of episodes. Brandon Perras Sanchez, introduced as an author, filmmaker and horror connoisseur, joined for Slugs, a film he steered the co-hosts toward when they were hunting for a movie based on a book. The Comic Chop is a separate strand, a crossover with Do About Nerding that turns to creepy comic books, as in Comic Chop RETURNS! Archie X The Army of Darkness. Several episodes start with a short recorded tag, among them ones from Jenna Connell, who cites Terrifier, Faceless After Dark and Renfield, and Tiffany Shepis. Sign-offs are just as informal: thanks to Patreon supporters by name, a 'stay spooky' farewell and, at least once, confusion over who is supposed to stop the recording. The language is strong and the ribbing turns personal, touching on looks and ethnicity. What a listener gets is less a polished review than a seat in the room with people who plainly enjoy horror and enjoy arguing about it.
Made for: Suits a listener who wants horror film talk that feels like hanging out, and who does not mind the conversation leaving the movie for long stretches or turning crude along the way.
What sets it apart: Themed months, a book-driven run with author guests, and the Comic Chop crossover with Do About Nerding give the film talk some shape. The loose banter, recording stumbles included, sets it apart from tighter, more scripted review shows.
