    15: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (Part 3)
    Apr 24 2025

    This week we reach the end of Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House as we cover chapters 7-9 of the novel. Things ramp up considerably as the line between what is real and what isn't all but disappears (along with our understanding of the book. We still loved it, though!

    Next week we wrap up our Hill House coverage with our overview episode!

    Discussion Question: Is Hill House actually haunted?

    13: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE (Part 1)
    Apr 10 2025

    This week we begin our segment on The Haunting of Hill House by checking out Shirley Jackson's novel. Over the next 4 weeks, we'll read and chat about the book before heading into Flanagan's 10-episode adaptation. This week, we read chapters 1-3 of Hill House.

    We talk about the book's impact on horror, Shirley Jackson's incredibly evocative language, and the uncertainty that we feel about the house and the characters staying in it.

    Next week Hill House concludes with chapters 4-6!

    Discussion Question: What is your favorite haunted house and why?

15 Stars!

Scott and Matt are back with this outstanding follow up to Kingslingers. Their thoughtful analysis and years of chemistry are the perfect combination for this deep dive into the career and works of Mike Flanagan. Looking forward to the OG Kingslingers throwback as we read through Gerald's Game together over the next several weeks!

Get in on the ground floor or live with regrets!

These two are not slowing down. Matt & Scott have a rapport grown from years of friendship. I could listen to them all day long. Their analysis is consistently insightful.

I discovered them during the pandemic when they were recording the first season of their Kingslingers podcast, now I follow all of their content.

Quality AND Quantity?!?!

This show is a solid follow-up to the stellar Kingslingers podcast (among other Doof podcasts) right out of the gate. Thank goodness they promise nearly 100 planned episodes! Matt and Scott bring their comforting chemistry and energy to a deep-dive into a subject they enjoy. I have a hard time sitting still long enough to watch movies, but this show makes me make the effort. Can't wait to watch the rest of Flanagan's work and read the books many are based on. Welcome back ear-friends!

Doof Media has another winner on its hands.

Scott and Matt have brought their approach of thoughtful and fun analysis to the works of Mike Flanagan. I'm looking forward to the rest of the episodes planned. They simply do a fantastic job breaking things down and offering clever insights. One of my favorite podcast teams covering one of my favorite creators has so far been so great. Glad they are back with this new show.

Matt and Scott setting a new bar for their podcasts

I've been a Doof fan since I stumbled upon "We've got Wurm" in 2019. The combination of inoffensively unfiltered media hot-takes and deep thoughtful analysis is a recipe for a great time for any listener passionate about good narratives!

As someone who likes creative psychological horror movies but never actually wants to watch them, this podcast is an excellent lense to appreciate spooky storytelling while still being able to sleep at night! These last two episodes have challenged that in a great way of course; I wear gloves everyday for work and removing them will never feel the same.

Cheers to Scott and Matt!
