Talking Horror
Hosted by Talking Horror
A therapist and an actress break down horror films, exploring the scares through the lens of mental health and human behavior.
This is a horror movie review show with a unique therapeutic angle. Hosts Jamie (a therapist) and Nikisha (an actress) dissect films, moving beyond simple plot summaries to discuss the underlying human psychology and mental health themes. The main episodes are long-form conversations, but the channel also features shorter, solo-hosted plot explainers and quick-hit reviews.
“The show's core strength is its dual-host dynamic, explicitly bringing a therapist's clinical perspective to the horror genre, a combination not often found in film review podcasts.”
