  • Dynamic duo

    I have to be honest, I am down for almost any Tom Merritt podcast. He is the best at what he does and so knowledgeable. This podcast is a little more entertainment focused and him and Brian are great together. They pick fun topics all about streaming and I love it. I don’t really agree with Brian most of the time on his interest when it comes to television and movies, but I love the opinions and I love the back-and-forth. Bryce add that third person tie-breaking opinion.

  • I like Brushwood and Merritt, but I cannot relate to the content. Last theater movie I watched was Battle of 5 Armies. Last TV series was Lidia's Italian Cooking.

    There is nothing on TV or the theater I am truly interested in. I've even given up on Star Trek after watching all of the TV series from Next Gen forward.

    If you like escapist entertainment, you'll like this podcast.
