  • Superb Industry/Fan Balance

    Great pod for both fans of the comic/film/geek culture space and those that toil and create within said space. Their panelist structure (mainstays plus a guest or two) move the topics along at a steady and informative pace. Similarly, their episode release design lets my ears go full-nerd on comic or cinematic deep-dives while on the next episode, they cover amazing industry or creator panels from SDCC (and beyond). Highly recommend!

  • Full of it

    Came here to specifically listen to #203. You and your guests are so full of crap. Quit pushing your political agenda on Tolkien. Your guests are hilariously uninformed getting “expert” information from Tik-Tok. What a joke.
