602 Club quickly became a regular entry in my podcast rotation. I enjoy the analysis of new movies or shows, but I love revisiting older movies which maybe I hadn’t seen in years. 602 Club makes the classics feel fresh. Thank you for both the entertainment and thought provoking content.
I found this podcast after searching for some discussion following yet another Star Wars re-watch... and I must say, the episodes I've heard so far really gave me a new appreciation for some old favorites, including helping me see some deeper meanings in them. The hosts are knowledgeable and thoughtful, so their discussions are always captivating.

I originally came to this podcast for the Star Wars but it quickly hooked me on so many other fandoms. Y’all are the best.
That’s all there is to say.
I listen to Owl Post and heard that they also discussed Harry Potter so I would listen to it a lot more
I personally love this show. Matt and Christie are positive and uplifting about all fandoms. I love Star Wars, marvel, Back to the Future, and thanks to you guys, the DC films. Especially Dark Knight. Love you all, love this show. Christopher Reeves, Brandon Routh, and Henry Cavil all pass their kryptonian approval. Cheers to the 602!

How did I find the 602 Club? Well, I’m afraid one night I had a few too many fuzzy tauntauns at the Outlander Club and stumbled out onto the street, hoping I could find some nerf burgers at Dex’s. And then I saw it: the 602 Club. I can’t quite tell you how I got there; the gentleman and lovely lady there kept insisting I was no longer on Coruscant. But no matter! What I found in that quaint little club on a place called “Earth” was far better than any nerf burger. I’d even go as far as to say th... more
