- If you can stand the “cardboard set” joke …
…About every 5 minutes, and you can stand the scatting of the theme song, and having Augustus referred to as some other character you’ve never heard of, ..it’s worth the listen. The hosts add a lot to watching the series, which I now have on a US DVD player-compatible set of discs. This series holds up. I watched it in the 70’s as a teen and I read the books. Now watching it again I appreciate it more. The series is like a play. Some nudity; pretty racy for its time, implied gore. The dialogue i... more

United States2 years ago - Annoying cackling
I want to like this so much. But the constant cackling of the co host makes this nearly unlistenable. Hodgman is a gem.
Apple Podcasts3BencellusUnited States2 years ago - Disappointing
I discovered this podcast after recently watching I, Claudius all the way through for the very first time. I was hoping the podcast would be more than what it is unfortunately. The best parts of it are when they comment on the careers and best performances of the actors, but besides that most of this program is a rote scene-by-scene explanation where they mock the low budget more often than necessary. The most annoying aspect is that one of the hosts actually seems to be knowledgeable about the ... more
Apple Podcasts2MagocracyUnited States4 years ago - If you like silly and smart, you’re in the right place
I didn’t know I needed this in my life, except now, I’ve listened to it in it’s entirety at least 5 times. As a 6-year-old who was glued to the screen (my parents were not terribly vigilant about adult content), I loved/was terrified by this miniseries, and I am so happy to find others who have the same fascination with it. I read the books in my 20’s, rewatched the series at the same time, now listening to the recaps and I’m still loving it all. John and Elliott make so many incisive and hilari... more
Apple Podcasts5Ahoy-hoyUnited States4 years ago - Unlistenable
These two guys are terrible. They clearly do not care about serious listeners. But for sure their in love with themselves, their voices and their silliness. Why would you do a serious historical story by being silly with verbal nonsense that only makes yourselves laugh?
