Can't handle scary movies? Neither can legal influencer, sometimes rapper and general scaredy-cat Peach. To help him overcome his horror aversion, his best friend Shag is talking him through the plots, the kills, the blood and the thrills of iconic video nasties, one Wikipedia synopsis at a time.

This is a recap podcast for anyone interested in scary movies, especially if you can only watch them through your fingers. Join the Feel Bad Club!
