  • 10/10 GEM of a Podcast!

    Johnny and Tyler serve up a gem of a podcast (at least 9.8A++ every episode!). Two friends, shootin’ the breeze about their favorite thing: collecting mass media (which is all goin’ to the moon, baby! 😂).

    On a serious note, these guys are genuinely passionate about this stuff, are super knowledgeable, and have built an awesome community around the show. Give them a listen; you’ll be glad that you did.

  • They don’t want you probably

    They take digs at conservatives. I would hazard a guess, they don’t care if you listen. So save your time and look somewhere else
