Brain Rot - An 80s Horror Podcast
Stevie Webb
Show overview
Brain Rot - An 80s Horror Podcast has been publishing since 2021, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 108 episodes, alongside 11 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 100 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a fortnightly cadence, with the show now in its 5th season.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 47 min and 1h 4m — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language TV & Film show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2021, with 43 episodes published. Published by Stevie Webb.
From the publisher
Welcome to Brain Rot The podcast that takes a deep dive into the BEST WORST HORROR movies of the 80s & 90s. Those films that are 'so bad, they're good'. Each episode, Stevie (your VHS Veteran) welcomes a new guest into the trash heap. With guests ranging from horror know-it-alls to horror not-at-alls, these B-Movie bangers get dissected and immortalised in all their gory glory. So open THE GATE, grab some POPCORN, hold on to your GHOULIES and TROLL these films with us. See what I did there? That's THE STUFF we like. Toodles!
