Benny loves you! Jay of the Dead and Mister Watson love you, too, so sorry for the delay. It was Jay’s fault, as usual. Here in Episode 161 of Horror Movie Weekly, your intrepid hosts welcome special guest Dave Zee from Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast, The Wat-Zee Party Horror Show and Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies! Jay, Watson and Dave Zee bring you an entertaining — and fair — Feature Review of the bizarre Comedy Horror movie, Benny Loves You (2021)! (This episode contains Mild Spoilers for “Benny Loves You.”) And of course, you get Micro Horror Movie Reviews of “Grizzly” (1976), “True Detective Season 4” (2024) and “Stitches” (2012). This episode was recorded on March 6, 2024. Oh, and we have a new voicemail number: (801) 980-1375. Join us!
This weekly Horror movie podcast brings you one recent Horror movie review every Sunday. (As noted previously, we’re defining “recent” as any Horror movie released within the last five years or the current year; so now that it’s 2024, we’ll be covering Horror films from 2019 to the present.) And we always reveal next week’s pick at the end of every show, so you can watch along with us and be prepared for the following episode. Join us, and thanks for listening!
