Horror remains one of the most beloved film genres today, with a passionate fanbase. True crime documentaries and TV shows also have legions of fans worldwide. The Last Podcast on the Left manages to combine both of those interests into one. Fans of either genre are likely to recognize the title of this show. It alludes to Wes Craven's seminal 1972 horror film, The Last House on the Left.

The show's hosts and real-life friends, Henry Zebrowski, Marcus Parks, and Ben Kissel, are long-time horror fans. Zebrowski is an actor and comedian, and Kissel is a comedian and podcaster. Parks is a researcher and producer. The three of them share funny, fast-paced banter that engages and entertains audiences.

One thing that makes Last Podcast on the Left so interesting is its setup. It is a comedy podcast with strong horror elements. The podcast has two types of episodes. The first focuses on recent horror film premieres. During these episodes, hosts often interview prominent horror writers and directors. For example, William Brent Bell, director of The Boy and Orphan: First Kill, has appeared on the podcast.

Last Podcast on the Left also specializes in true crime episodes called Side Stories. These are discussions of serial killers and other notorious criminals. Often, they include an interview with an author who has written a book on the subject. Having a subject matter expert on hand ensures information is accurate.

Last Podcast on the Left is ideal for those who love all things chilling and thrilling. New episodes of the podcast premier every Wednesday.
