About this listen

Welcome! We are Alyssa & Brody and we are so happy you’re here!

This is a podcast for the unhinged binge-watchers, chronic re-readers, and playlist addicts. We rewatch the shows we grew up on, the movies we quote in our sleep, the books that ruined us emotionally, and the songs we still scream in the car. Expect unfiltered opinions, chaotic tangents, many laughs, and possibly a few unhinged deep dives we absolutely did not plan.

Some history on us

Brody is an author and lifelong movie and music enthusiast who loves exploring stories beyond the page. From horror or noir to film and sound, he brings sharp insight and honest takes to everything he discusses.
