I love the unapologetically enthusiastic tone of this podcast, and the adorably nerdy and pure bromance between the hosts. As a Lovecraft fan, I couldn't love it more - I've learned quite a few things and have been inspired to reread some of his stories.

Really great, fantastic show fellas! One of my favorite stories of all time recapped and analyzed masterfully.

Despite HP's overplayed use of the hair thing, I felt that the story was woven together quite nicely. I was so into it that I found myself reading out loud in an antebellum southern accent. I know you guys were so cynical about it that you didn't care by the end but you completely glossed over his escape through the front lawn and his turning back to see the horrors behind him. I also chuckled when the "final" horror was revealed. It's just too silly to be taken seriously. Maybe he wrote that line with a specific audience in mind?

You know... I didn't think this story was as bad as you guys were making it out to be... until I listened to you guys run your mouths about how bad it was. Indeed, there were a lot of unexplained details and nonsensical plot elements. However, with all that being said, if someone were so inclined I think this story could be turned into a pretty great comedy flick. There are plenty of opportunities for physical comedy and wacky dialogue, especially if the main story is intended to be serious drama. It would end up being like something from ZAZ.
