Intro

Mitch:
[0:00] Hello, welcome to the Easy English Podcast, episode number, tap, tap, tap, computing 54.

Mitch:
[0:12] I'm on my own. I've gone solo. I'm Sonny without Cher. I'm Jay-Z without Beyonce. I'm Will Smith without Jada, Barak without Michelle, etc, etc.

Mitch:
[0:30] Isi's ill, so she's spluttering in the background whilst I record the first ever Easy English solo podcast. But not to make it a negative, turn that frown upside down today. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that Isi's not with us to give you a podcast about one of my favourite hobbies. As a couple, it's nice to have shared hobbies, but it's also nice to have your own individual things and one of my individual things, which understandably, Isi doesn't want to partake in, is watching horror movies. I consider myself a horror movie aficionado. I'd like to think. There are some caveats to that, but today, I thought, I would try to make an inclusive podcast about horror movies, why you should be excited about horror movies, good horror movies to watch, horror movies to watch if you hate horror movies, if you're scared of horror movies. Okay, let's give it a go.
