Kill Streak

By Eric Gosselin, Michael Price

Kill Streak is a weekly podcast where we pick a horror movie franchise, and then every episode covers an entry in that series. We talk about the making of the movie, behind the scene stories, recap the plot, and then rate it using our patented Kill Streak criteria. Finally, we rank each movie in the series in our canonical order from worst to best.

Brought to you by filmmakers, friendz, and horror dudez Eric Gosselin and Mike Price.
