If horror movies are the roller coasters of fear, then podcasts are the slow, psychological haunted houses you can never quite escape. I’m not saying that because I have my own podcast (I promise I am not drinking my own Kool-Aid here). Podcasts genuinely rival cult classic horror films in how deeply they get under your skin. There’s something uniquely chilling about true crime podcasts. Unlike the well loved “Halloween” or “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” (which is somewhat based on the true crimes of Ed Gein, but he didn’t wield a chainsaw), these stories remind us that the monsters of the real world don’t need masks or jump scares. It makes you want to peek around the curtain to make sure that those insane killers don’t live next door to you.
Even paranormal podcasts make you suddenly rethink every sinful creak in your house or give you the irrational fear of stepping into a barely lit basement at night, worrying that there is something sinister patiently waiting to scare you to an early grave. While horror movies scare us for fun, podcasts have the audacity to scare you at times with reality. That alone is a whole different level of terrifying.
Speaking of podcasts and all the horror that can come with them, I recently heard the news that one of my favorite podcasts that has provided me with laughs for over a decade “The Last Podcast on the Left” (featuring Henry Zebrowski, Marcus Parks, and Ed Larson) is teaming up with Netflix. They are putting some of their videos that are on YouTube and stepping up the insane comedy that they provided to a whole new level by joining the juggernaut streaming service. Not that they are small potatoes themselves, as their shows on the Last Podcast Network has been making myself and others laugh for over 15 years.
Shows like “Side Stories with Henry Zebrowski and Ed Larson” with producer Rob Okey, and the main “Last Podcast on the Left” video episodes will be available to watch exclusively through Netflix. They of course will continue to appease to the audio only 9-5 slackers like me who enjoy listening to their podcast while trying to get through the work week.
Not only are they bringing these classic LPN shows to Netflix, but they do have several new projects coming to their Patreon including a watch-along series/movie review show with a Letterboxd twist. As a fan of their work and an obvious fan of movies, I can not wait to hear their commentary on those good, bad and not so great movies (especially the horror ones).
You can hear more about the news on their newest episode of “Side Stories” labeled “The Piggyback Bandit” available now wherever you enjoy your podcasts. Be sure to check out all the amazing content they have available on their Patreon page here.
Whether it’s slashers in the woods, ghosts in the attic, or killers in the cornfield, ILHM Reviews brings you the frightful horror flick recommendations worth watching.
