  • Everything Awesome Podcast!

    Thank you so much Michael and Tom for this wonderful, witty and ridiculously entertaining podcast. I have been a sequel nerd my whole life and this podcast series is truly heaven sent. Michael and Tom, you are great hosts, and I love tuning in each episode to see whether you will agree or disagree. You have inspired me to do recent rewatches of the Superman, Terminator and Planet of the Apes franchises, and I’m about to do a holiday binge of Star Trek movies 2-7 and listen along to your reviews.... more

  • This is so good!

    Love for 2010 has brought me to this podcast, because the film has its admirers but only social media and podcasting has brought me to them. I have a lot of the same feelings expressed, and I’ve had them since I saw the film a very long time ago!
