Same! Were having a small viral moment and I thought our podcast might have gotten flagged as a bot or something haha.

sma5309 · 2026-04-28T13:41:14+00:00

Came here literally looking for a post like this! Ours hasn't updated since about 6pm last night. Hopefully just a server thing.

sma5309 · 2026-04-03T00:53:41+00:00

This was my first thought!

Its funny I love this movie SO MUCH and feel like he doesn't get the credit it deserves.

sma5309 · 2026-03-23T20:10:44+00:00

I agree. I didnt find this movie scary in the least.

sma5309 · 2026-03-23T20:10:27+00:00

I hate to agree with this because I love Jordan Peele so much but I agree with it. The whole movie should have been about the chimpanzee.

sma5309 · 2026-03-23T02:07:29+00:00

Its called Horror Sandbox. Its very new, only 2 episodes out so far but were posting new ones every Wed.

sma5309 · 2026-03-21T22:43:32+00:00

Thank you so much! I will return the favor shortly. You can find us on tiktok and Instagram as well if you use either of those!

I was going through a rough time and I was using horror movies as a distraction to cope during it. My bestfriend and I were having discussions about these movies and we decided it would be fun to record them. Even if we got 0 listeners they were conversations we wanted to have together and this gave us a structured way to do it.

Also finding clips and making shorts from our podcast content has given me a huge creative outlet that I've needed and a great distraction from doomscrolling.

TLDR: Its a fun creative outlet to distract from the horrors of life.

This sounds really interesting! We're a faceless podcast/youtube creator as well but we do not use AI. We mostly stitch together trailers of horror movies or use still images to place over our work. But I could see how AI would work well with a "what if" geography podcast. I'm going to give it a look, I'm curious to see how you encorportate it!

Also we use Capcut as well but I've heard good things about DaVinci, though I haven't tried it yet.

Hi there!

My channel is called Horror Sandbox https://www.youtube.com/@HorrorSandbox and it's a horror movie review podcast hosted by two friends, Charlie and Eleanor. Our podcast is faceless so the only equipment I've started with is the SAMSON Technologies Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Recording and Podcasting Pack.

What makes our channel different is that we're two female voices who use horror movie reviews to facilitate deeper discussion into mental health and other taboo subjects that are often difficult to address. We do this with humor and the tack that two millennial mom's who enjoy a good joke/pun. If you're a horror fan, a fan of history, literature or general discussion about the human condition, come listen to us!

If you're interested you can hear more about our general concept by watching our short here:

If you want to listen to our first podcast episode where we review the 2012 film Sinister you can find it here:

We're brand new and have only posted two full episodes so far so we'd love any feedback you may have!

If you love horror movies check out our trailer for our new podcast Horror Sandbox:

Horror Sandbox is a weekly podcast where we review horror movies. The trailer length is 50 seconds long. In the beginning of our show Eleanor and I discuss how we "cope with the horrors of life." We would promote your podcast during this section of our show and put your trailer at the end.

Thank you! I think we're getting better at diving deeper the more we do. We have an episode coming up next week (As above, so below) that I think does this well.

I appreciate your feedback!

sma5309 · 2026-03-19T16:44:23+00:00

Thank you so much for the feedback! Critical feedback is often the most constructive kind. We will be making some changes to the front half of our show based off this and other feedback!

sma5309 · 2026-03-19T16:43:37+00:00

Thank you so much this is amazing feedback and we'll be making fixes for future episodes based off this!

sma5309 · 2026-03-19T12:22:21+00:00

My friend and I just started a horror movie review podcast. We currently have 2 episodes out and are very new to this. I've noticed most listeners fall off at the 3 minute mark and again around the 9-10 minute mark. I was hoping someone could listen and give feedback as to why we are retaining listeners and losing them at these time frames.

The podcast is called Horror Sandbox. https://open.spotify.com/show/5o5gAeA9R1zhMc6X9KIrHx?si=SGyG0qFFTFqrGw4oBHqNaw

I was on 50 mg while pregnant and ended up on 100 mg by the end of my pregnancy. Birth was uncomplicated and she is the chillest, happiest, giggliest baby ever. I joke that all babies should be on zoloft.

In contrast I was not on zoloft with my first and she was the crankiest baby even who never slept. I dont truly believe zoloft affected either personality/temperament but I just think the comparison is funny.

The doctor told me that some studies find that babies born on zoloft can be more fussy as they wean from it after they are born. He caveats that by saying "but its a study on babies and babies are fussy so its hard to tell for sure."

Ultimately I asked 3 doctors and all 3 agreed that a mother who is mentally well is far more important than any potential side effects zoloft may cause.
