Paranormal Podcasts

Movie City Maniacs is the new show from the team behind The Horror and More! Podcast. After several years and 80 plus episodes, long time friends and co-hosts Matt Buzanko and Kyle Chamberlain decided it was time for a change, and thus from the ashes the Movie City Maniacs was born! This time their goal is delivering a leaner and more focused show, tackling all the facets of genre cinema through series retrospectives, director and actor spotlights, and best of episodes. Their discussions may not always be the most analytical, but their wealth of film knowledge, unique sense of humour, and passion makes for an entertaining trip through the depths of cinema.
