Enjoyable to listening to each episode but audio quality needs improvement PLEASE. Also, are you ever going to invite Nick D as a guest?
Apple Podcasts4Techno NWIUnited States2 years ago - Audio quality is pretty bad
Long time listener but the sound quality is so poor guys, sorry.
Apple Podcasts2Techno NWIUnited States4 years ago - Erik Sergio = Podcasting Magic
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.
Apple Podcasts5nowplayingjimUnited States4 years ago - Fix the Sound
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.....

Frequently Asked Questions About Movie Madness
What is Movie Madness about and what kind of topics does it cover?
This show centers on long-form discussion and critique of new releases, festival picks, and cult/classic titles, with frequent deep-dives into box office context, home video history, restoration quality, and licensing/availability.
