- Deal the pretentiousness
There are some nice discussions to be heard if you can grit your teeth and bear the pretentious “people we know” moments in every episode and interview.

Rebekah legitimately does not understand 65% of the stuff Elric says.

I unsubscribed to Kevin Smith’s podcast after I couldn’t take it anymore and deleted the most recent epis... more

I love this one. Have discovered many dark gems (from the past and present) thanks to this great show. Damn good.

I like this show. One problem is that Elric cannot stop spoiling movies. He’ll say “I don’t want to spoil it but-“ and then do just that. Never tell people there’s a crazy plot twist. Once you know that you’ll see the clues.
