I do like their insights
Enjoyable to listening to each episode but audio quality needs improvement PLEASE. Also, are you ever going to invite Nick D as a guest?
Long time listener but the sound quality is so poor guys, sorry.
Of course I enjoy Erik’s podcast here in any form with every episode, but the episodes featuring Sergio are always a highlight for me since I tend to learn a lot from both of them more than most movie podcasts. The new movie reviews with Steve Prokopy are always a delight as well. This is definitely a delightful piñata of film knowledge and quality entertainment done consistently well and I look forward to every new episode regardless of the topic at hand.
I've been a long time listener to Movie Madness but the last 4 episodes are hard to hear. While I understand they may have to use ZOOM, other venues figured out how to sound good. Will not listen until this is done. Come on guys.....
