Our Editor's Take

The Mostly Horror podcast focuses on the horror genre in all media. Hosts Sean Parker and Steven Goldberg interview artists, gamers, producers, and even fans. Fans-turned podcasters themselves, the longtime friends explore horror in film, books, TV, and more. It's scary how much they know.

Parker's horror voyage began at age 10. He walked in on his older cousin's movie party and got an eyeful of the film Scream. Scarred in a bad way but also in a good way, he couldn't stop watching. Goldberg's fixation didn't start until later, but the friends' shared interest grew. They watched together, then exchanged thoughts. Eventually, they together created the Mostly Horror podcast.

The Mostly Horror podcast features things horror fans may get excited to hear. The pair chats about topics like zombie film history. They might focus on horror-themed game releases. They also discuss TV adaptation wins and fails. There's a drive to figure out what the issues mean to horror. Listeners appreciate that they share candid opinions. Say a streaming service's new sharing rules or content offerings are stupid. These guys aren't afraid to call them out. They go into how those changes affect horror.

Sure, the tone gets silly sometimes. There's frequent giggling and digressions (hence the “mostly” in the title). But they are inspired by horror. Best of all, the longtime-friend hosts aren't afraid to put each other on the spot with questions like, “Did you cry?” (During a horror movie! ... Both have.) But that casualness is welcome amidst so much free-flowing knowledge on, well, Mostly Horror.

186: The Return of CJ Leede - American Rapture
Hey Horror Fans!This week on Mostly Horror, we welcome back the incredible CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and now American Rapture.In this conversation we dive deep into the timely themes of her latest work—a novel that explores the raw and terrifying consequences of political and social powers and pressures, especially as they impact women.The conversation couldn’t have come at a more potent moment, with Donald Trump's recent, stomach-churning victory in the 2024 election casting a shadow over rights and freedoms.We chat with CJ about everything from the dangers of groupthink to the ongoing battle for women’s bodily autonomy. Using a global, sex-crazed zombie virus outbreak as a metaphor, American Rapture tackles issues of consent, agency, and the dissection of toxic religious beliefs and systems. CJ’s knack for intertwining internal horror with searing social commentary makes her a master of the genre, and we can’t wait to dig into this latest work and more of what’s to come from her remarkable mind.Its a fun and important conversation you won't want to miss so...Come Hang Out!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?
