PODCAST

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.

🍪 Of all the over-hated horror movie sequels known to existence, you won't find another one that we staunchly defend more than Halloween 5! So major TRIGGER WARNING!!!
