The Cherry Picker

Welcome to The Cherry Picker: the horror movie podcast where we like to kill people... but not really. Hosted by Zack Cherry and Eddie. Each week we discuss a new horror film / franchise / or topic, and finish the episode off with The Cherry Picker, an interactive poll where we choose two characters from the preceding content who we believe were/are the most deserving of their horror movie deaths (whether they received one or not). You will then have the opportunity to vote.

2023/08/15

🐛 Place your bets! Freddy vs. Jason turns 20 years old today, so naturally we had to jump ahead in our chronology to cover it...

Expect us to cover the long history of these two horror titans coming together, the production that almost was, and the lasting legacy it has left 20 years later. Oh yeah,, we'll also nominate which characters
