B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping The Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks Podcast into the ol’ VCR. 

I can’t tell you exactly when Tim “Trashmouth” Mills and I became internet friends, but we’ve been mutuals on Instagram for years. He’s been a good friend, and we’ve supported each other’s content over the years. That’s why I wanted to give a shoutout to his podcast, The Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks Podcast, and it deserves to be heard. 

Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks has been going strong for over three years, boasts over 200 episodes, and is rated 5 stars on Apple Podcasts. In addition to working his ass off on the podcast, Tim hosts and sponsors horror movie trivia nights where he lives. 

Friends, it’s obvious that Tim is passionate about each and every component of the pod. He’s a horror and music lover. He’s always attentive to his interviewees, and there’s never a lull in the conversation. Tim’s heart and soul goes into this podcast — that’s clear from beginning to end. 

As a content creator, I can tell you that projects like this are a labor of love. Elliott and I edit, produce, film, write, and do every single thing for B Movies ourselves, so, Tim, believe us when we say we get it, and we support you. 

Listening to Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks is like listening to a conversation with your friends. Hell, I’ve had some of these conversations before myself. Also, kudos to Tim for one of the sickest intros of all time. We touched on this over in the horror hosts piece, but Tim also knows his stuff. I consider myself a horror aficionado, but there have been times I’ve found myself Googling the movies he’s talking about because I’ve never heard of them. 

I know that recommending you jump into a podcast that’s 200 episodes deep can give you the ol’ feeling of content overload (insert Portlandia clip of Fred Armisen here), so I asked Tim for a list of five episodes he would recommend to get you started. 

• Episode 55: Keir Gilchrist & Sean Glaze of Whelm/Phalanx
• Episode 81: Travis Bennington of Eternal Sleep 
• Episode 146: The Monster Squad 35th Anniversary Celebration ft. Ryan Lambert & Andre Gower 
• Episode 166: Charlie Paulson of Goldfinger 
• Episode 171: Tipper of Fever Strike

Tim does an excellent job producing The Horror Flicks & Guitar Picks Podcast, but it doesn’t feel pretentious or unrelatable. In fact, despite the high production value, there’s still a punk/DIY feel to the pod that gives it the conversational tone I mentioned earlier.

I won’t go on my soapbox here, but as a queer woman in the horror space, I’ve had my fair share of condescending conversations with men. However, I feel like I would be welcomed into the conversations from the pod with open arms. 

Tim, keep it up, man. I know how absolutely challenging it can be to make content on the internet, but you’re doing a wonderful job. Listen to The Horror Flicks and Guitar Picks podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
