  • another banger from the table friends 💜

    started listening to MCP after catching up on side story, which i started after catching up on FatT.

    the hosts strike a perfect balance between serious & insightful media analysis, and making a show that's just plain fun & enjoyable to listen to.

    one small bit of feedback: i would politely ask that the cast consider being a smidge more conscientious about the occasional casual use of the word "psychotic"/"psycho", but overall it's still a 5 star podcast, as always.

    thanks again for helping me... more

  • A Perfect Pizza of a Podcast

    I love the whole FatT family of podcasts (and others featuring FatT cast members!) I have been a longtime Actual Play podcast listener, and this crew is probably the smartest in the biz, which also makes them the funniest in the biz. Media Club Plus is like when you are chatting with a friend and you both just start infodumping at each other, with all the joy, love, and diversion of such a conversation. I highly recommend this show to anyone who is interested in genuinely incredible in-depth ana... more

  • When Dre said "capo" he made it sound like an Australian superhero. Superb commentary and general vibe as always from the FATT crew. Always enriches my understanding and appreciation of the show being covered (from a baseline of 0% in the case of Hunter x Hunter)

  • extremely fun podcast, if a little rough around the edges

    Love listening to the intelligent and differing takes the whole group has on all of their media, especially ones I’ve seen before that I get to revisit and see in a new light with insights that never occurred to me before—it really feels like I’m watching/rewatching beloved (or beloathed) media with some friends :) Also, really funny, can’t emphasize that enough.

    My only caveats/points of friction are really when it feels like the hosts keep trying to talk over each other to get their bits in,... more
