The Offering quickly became my favorite movie podcast and here is why. Jerry gets under the hood and deep dives into the wild lore and unspoken hollywood tales of some of my favorite films. I don’t need my movie podcasts to break down screenplays or explain to me film theory. I want more of what Jerry does! Every episode feels like it’s story time, and my older brother or fun uncle is telling me some wild story behind a favorite movie of mine. I learn, I’m entertained, and I laugh a few times. It’s got heart! Give him a listen. Now.

The Offering is a perfect podcast. Factual without being pretentious. A charismatic and hysterical host. Deep dives into films that mostly get looked over. Jerry is the best and I have listened to most shows multiple times. Thank you for your Xanadu love, but please don’t speak ill of the latter Jaws sequels. They are gold lol.

Jerry Horror #1: Jerry Horror has a pleasant voice. I can easily listen to him for an hour (going in hour 4 or 5 now) without getting neurological/pain symptoms often triggered from high pitched women & men who should consider identifying as women. I never understood what Fan Films were nor why anyone would make one, until Jerry cleared this mystery up for me. When confused about moviemaking, I know I can turn to Jerry with my questions to receive a clear, opinionated answer. I really get off on BAD movies-especially the kind made by a director, cast & crew really TRYING to make a GOOD movie. Thanks to Jerry, I learned allll about the making of what I learned is known by many as “the worst sequel of all time”: Exorcist 2. I really never cared for Exorcist & any of its fans, nor good reviews about this movie….but now I reallllly want to see Exorcist 2, to see what people were so UPSET about. Jerry said people in 1 theater hated the movie soooo much that they insisted upon speaking to the filmmakers, after they found out the filmmakers were in the theater. It’s this piece of info that makes me want to complete & share my own movies, 1 day.id like to hear Jerry cover more movie disasters & bad reviews….Any idiot can make people happy. It takes a special person to really upset society! In one interview with Sean Q. King, horror was compared to porn. As a younger Jen, I had a bigger love for horror….and for porn. As I’ve gotten older, both porn & horror are not as Interesting as I found them to be in my youth. Porn is for the youth? I never called myself a FAN before, but after listening to Jerry Horror’s interview with Sean Q. King, I’ve gone from vocal hater to calling myself an actual fan. Sean mentioned that FUN should he in filmmaking, which seems to be a detail many creators have forgotten. I want to HAVE FUN Making & watching movies. I hope Jerry gives 1 of the movies I’m in a scathingly bad review 1 day….one can dream….

Big shout out to Gary for introducing me to this podcast

Jerry’s deep dives are second to none! I can’t believe how much I learned from each episode it’s insane. Now all I do all day is bother my wife with all these fun facts!

I really enjoy these movie deep dives. Jerry knows his stuff and seems like a cool guy. I definitely recommend this podcast.

I started late with this podcast (Beetlejuice Ep), but thankfully you can go back and listen to past ep. Jerry’s voice is very not annoying and the pace of the episodes are right on. You can hear the passion and enjoyment that he brings which is important because if you don’t have that the audience can tell. Keep it up and hopefully one day you can talk about Future Kill.

One of the better podcast on horror movies that I’ve listened to. It’s not a whole bunch of dude bros being snarky about the films I love. It’s just one self-depricating dude bro who respects and loves the films he talks about. And I love that. Like a film class with no test. You can take all the information you learned from Jerry and The Offering to your next party or horror con and sound like a genius. Thanks Professor Jerry!

This is an incredible podcast, it’s an absolute delight to be invited into Jerry’s incredibly knowledgeable mind on a regular basis . If you love content like I do, be it music, movies, tv or more Jerry has a lot to offer you! I love seeing what he’ll dive into each week! Can you think of a better way to spend an hour? Do it!

Jerry eloquently navigates the lines between genre and nostalgia to give a sometimes funny, sometimes informative and always sincere deep dive into your favorite fandoms of both yesterday and today. At first I cherry picked only the episodes that interests me and found myself looking into episodes about everything from the rise of A24 films to the Hulk Hogan opus: “No Holds Barred”

I am a new listener and enjoeyed Jerrys discussion of I Know What You Did Last Summer. His content kept me very engaged. Looking forward to his future podcast. Highly recommend. -Kim (the Mummy) True Horror with Wolf and the Mummy.

I’ve listened to every episode so far, been thoroughly enjoying the dives into movie and music genres, the lore of different franchises, and Jerry’s personal anecdotes sprinkled throughout. It’s a digestible, entertaining show that I look forward to every week. I’d love to hear a show about the Elm Street franchise at some point, or even an Arnold Schwarzenegger retrospective. I’m on board for any future Offerings!
