In this episode, the 3 Strangers—Ryan, Nick, and Bill—dive deep into the question every horror fan argues about: what truly makes a horror movie a classic? Is it timeless scares, unforgettable performances, or cultural impact? The trio breaks down everything from vintage nightmares to modern masterpieces, debating which films have earned their eternal place in horror history. Expect heated opinions, nostalgic throwbacks, and plenty of laughter as the Strangers try to define what makes a classic… classic.
The [3] Strangers return with Only Connect: Part II, and this time, there’s a twist—Savannah is back and gunning for Bill’s spot on the team. What starts as a friendly part II quickly turns into a battle of wits, pride, and pure chaos. Can Bill defend his spot? Will Nick win again? Will Savannah take over as the newest Stranger? Ryan, Nick, and Bill try to keep things together as trivia, trash talk, and laughter spiral out of control.
This week, The 3 Strangers Podcast dives into the twisted world of Rob Grant’s 2018 film Alive — a claustrophobic, gory little nightmare we only found thanks to TikTok. What starts as a random recommendation turns into a full-blown debate about body horror, morality tests, and what happens when you wake up strapped to a hospital bed with no memory and a very suspicious doctor.
Ryan, Nick, and Bill break down the film’s twists, tension, and what it means to survive when the real horror might be you. Expect laughter, confusion, and mild psychological damage — because sometimes TikTok doesn’t just give you dance trends… it gives you trauma.
💀 Suggested by a TikTok user who clearly wanted to ruin our week — and we thank them for it.
We’ve officially hit 50 episodes of The [3] Strangers Podcast, and of course, we decided to celebrate by getting into one of our most heated horror debates yet — The Blair Witch Project (1999).What starts as a friendly milestone episode quickly turns into chaos as Ryan, Nick, and Bill dive headfirst into found footage fury with guests Caitlin Erin O’Neill, Austin Michael, and Savannah. Opinions fly, tempers flare, and someone may or may not defend the movie way too hard.💀 Expect: The most intense Blair Witch argument since 1999. Tangents that have nothing to do with witches, Caitlin's first watch, podcast-level shenanigans, Savannah trying to take Bill's spot, and Ryan questioning all his life choices halfway through🎧

In Part 2 of our Studio Ghibli deep dive, we shift from opinions to history.

We trace the golden age, the international breakthrough with Spirited Away, and the lasting legacy that continues to inspire animators and storytellers worldwide.If Part 1 was all about our takes on the films, this episode is about the bigger picture: the philosophy, artistry, and impact of one of the most important studios in film history.#Podcast #StudioGhibli #AnimeHistory #HayaoMiyazaki #FilmPodcast #The3StrangersPodcast
In this special two-part series, we dive into the magical world of Studio Ghibli. This first episode is all about our personal opinions and thoughts on each film, from the classics to the hidden gems, while Part 2 will shift focus to the history and legacy behind the studio.
This series is dedicated to our dear friend Dan, who passed away. Dan shared our love for Studio Ghibli and inspired us to explore everything this wonderful studio has to offer. We wanted to honor him with an episode that reflects the wonder, imagination, and heart that Ghibli represents.
Come along with us as we celebrate these films, share stories, and set the stage for an even deeper dive in Part 2.
What starts as harmless podcast waffling quickly spirals into a bizarre mix of topics — from the unsettling world of body horror to the wholesome (or maybe horrifying?) world of Pokémon, with plenty of random tangents in between. No script. No plan. Just Ryan, Nick, and Bill letting their brains wander into strange territory.
Expect questionable metaphors, unexpected connections, and the kind of unfiltered nonsense only this podcast can deliver.

This week on The [3] Strangers Podcast, we're joined by our friend Savannah for a game that’s equal parts holy and horrifying. The boys, and lady, must guess the horror movie based solely on absurd, dramatic, or downright unhinged reviews from ChristianAnswers.net — a site that really has some thoughts about demons, kissing, and the occult.
From “Satanic undertones” to “too much cleavage,” will they guess the right movie... or repent before the end?
👻 Holy warnings.
🎬 Hellish guesses.
🙏 Special guest Savannah keeps us in line (kind of).

This week on The [3] Strangers Podcast, we descend into the bleak, beautiful nightmare of Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria (2018)—a bold reimagining that trades technicolor for trauma and ballet for brutality.
We break down the film’s haunting atmosphere, the layered themes of motherhood, power, and guilt, and that absolutely unhinged finale that still leaves us speechless. Also: Tilda Swinton plays how many characters again?
🩰 It’s not a remake. It’s a ritual.
💀 Let the Mother of Sighs take you.

This week on The [3] Strangers Podcast, we dive deep into Dario Argento’s Suspiria (1977)—a kaleidoscopic fever dream of a horror film that rewrote the rules of style, sound, and screaming.
We talk the unforgettable score, the iconic death scenes, the vibes (because Suspiria is 90% vibes), and why this film still slaps nearly 50 years later. Also: birthday cake may be present. Witch curses may be pending.
🩸 Happy birthday, Ryan.

What starts as a nostalgic deep-dive into an old public access show quickly spirals into possession, VHS-fueled terror, and one of the creepiest on-screen personalities we’ve seen in years.
📺 Think Barney meets The Ring.
👻 Think kids’ show puppets... that blink when they shouldn’t.
