  • Love Matt and Scott

    Came over once Kingslingers ended and am always so happy to hear these two chat about anything. They are always very insightful and fun to listen to, and their in depth breakdowns of any piece of media always makes my work days go by faster

  • Truly Amazing

    I first started listening to Scott and Matt on their phenomenal Kingslingers podcast, and Flanagan’s Wake is just as great! Their analysis is insightful, kind, funny, and helps me enjoy the media I love so much more. I find myself wishing they had an episode for literally everything I watch or read. Never stop podcasting!

  • Love this podcast, BUT…

    This podcast is the highlight of my week, but my wife and I are really struggling with the Henry James stories! Please don’t let that stop you from listening. You don’t have to read the stories, although being a completist, I have read my way through Kingslingers and this show.

  • Love the long discussions. I appreciate how you guys don't go looking for negative things to criticize unlike some podcasts that nitpick to the point you question if they even like the creator they claim to love. I'm not a careful viewer so I really like all the subtext and details that yall find in these shows that went over my head. Definitely makes me appreciate the shows and movies much more. Keep up the good work!

  • Best Podcasters

    I followed Matt and Scott from Kingslingers to this podcast! I am going through and listening to the books and/or movies I have already read or watched and saving some episodes for after I catch up. Flanagan creates such intriguing material and I love listening to Matt and Scott deconstruct it.

    I have tried to listen to other King, etc. podcasts and none of them have been as engaging or positive as the ones Scott and Matt run. I look forward to more episodes!
