Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 2.6k ratings
  • Equally as funny as the Sopranos

    I have listened to this podcast as many times as I have watched the sopranos. I cry laugh during Matt’s girl talk mashups. I love the bumpers, the recaps…the big mouth Billy bass…so hilarious.

    Have to watch the Wire, and Mad Men so I can listen to all of the other episodes these guys have put out.

    Solid B+.

  • Pretty good stuff! B+

    Funny podcast (at least the Mad Men episodes so far) but why do the hosts hate bundt cake? That’s a good cake as long as you use enough butter.

  • What even is this

    I found this by chance when searching for mad men. I decided to start with mad men season 1 episode 1. So far I’m 19 minutes in and they’re just making jokes about Quiznos subs, and Mad Men seems like a tertiary thing they vaguely reference. What is going on.

  • For the Art

    I’m just finishing up The Sopranos episodes and it’s been so much fun listening to Matt and Vince explaining all the art and stuff. And Matt’s song parodies are amazing. Solid B+ podcast.
