  • Love IHE, but think I need a break from YMS

    Alex and Jake are the only two YouTubers I’ve ever subscribed to, and I did so without knowing they’d have a podcast together, so of course I listen to this. Alex’s videos helped get me through a rough time in college so I like supporting all of his projects.

    I remember liking YMS videos back in the day but I have a hard time with him in this podcast. He’s the only host who doesn’t like to self depreciate with jokes, he frequently brings up grievances from outside the show, and he has really ha... more

  • Great podcast for movie lovers.

    So much better now that Ralph is gone/replaced.

    Sometimes Adam is insufferable with how he expresses his opinion. He'll fixate on a small detail and hyperbolically exaggerate its prominence to try and drive his point home. Sometimes he will also have an insanely condescending vibe, referring to "normies" and others' opinions. Also wants to exude expertise when he clearly lacks it. (Please don't try to talk about "how the brain works")

    Gripes aside. Love this show!... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sardonicast 217: Backrooms, Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, My Darling Clementine
Q: Question for everyone, but maybe especially for Adam. Male, male romance seems to be a huge part of book talk. How do you think about that dynamic, and are there things readers and creators should be mindful of when representing gay relationships?
The hosts discuss the tension between authentic representation and broad audience appeal, noting that while some shows treat queer relationships as central and humanized, others rely on fan service. They advocate for diverse, respectful portrayals and caution against reducing characters to stereotypes when broader audiences are involved.
Sardonicast 216: Obsession, Body Double feat. Jérémie Périn
Q: How does music influence your animation process on Mars Express?
The team used limited temp tracks and allowed the composers to shape the mood early, with original, looping cues guiding the edit rather than fixed temp tracks, which helped keep the project flexible during development.
Sardonicast 208: Oscar Noms, 28 Years The Bone Temple, Breaking the Waves ft. Louise Weard
Q: What's one of the most challenging things you've had to overcome as a filmmaker?
Finding your voice as a filmmaker and keeping myself excited about whatever I'm working on.
Sardonicast 208: Oscar Noms, 28 Years The Bone Temple, Breaking the Waves ft. Louise Weard
Q: What method do you prefer for releasing shows on streaming? All at once, weekly or in volumes?
I like week to week because I think the thing that's great about television is the fact that it's a communal experience to watch it week to week.
Sardonicast 203: Frankenstein, The Long Walk, Thor: Love and Thunder
Q: What movies from the 2010s would you say are similarly influential to movies we see now?
They mention 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', 'Get Out', and 'Parasite' as movies that have had a significant influence on the industry.
