Johnny Has the Keys is a Horror and Science Fiction podcast, deciphering inspirations, influences, and parallels within the genre. It is the indulgence of life-long friends, David Horton and Tim Smith, and it presented via the magic of podcasting with their enthusiastic –albeit sometimes, sarcastic and profane—commentary. If you’re seeking geeked-out wisdom for all things creepy and spacey, then you have stumbled upon the right show. Uncles Tim and David are prepared to escort you through the long corridors of ghastly themes and speculative similarities. Whether you seek enlightenment, laughter, or explosive tirades of nerdy knowledge, these boys are well-acquainted with horror and Sci-Fi’s many doors.
…and they’re more than willing to share the keys.
